An Eccentric Massive Protobinary Assembled via a Core-merger Parabolic Encounter

Yao Wang, Yichen Zhang, Rubén Fedriani +14

Most massive stars form in binary systems, which profoundly influence their subsequent evolution. However, how such systems form remains poorly understood, with several competing s…

TNFlow: Amortized Posterior Inference for Trans-Neptunian Object Surface Composition

Agastya Gaur, Cristina M. Dalle Ore, Alessandra Ricca

We present TNFlow, a transformer and normalizing flow architecture for inferring the surface composition of Trans-Neptunian Objects (TNOs) from their reflectance spectra. TNFlow is…

Radio Follow-Up of Einstein Probe Fast X-Ray Transients

Carmen Choza, Joe S. Bright, Francesco Carotenuto +3

Fast X-ray transients (FXTs) are brief, luminous bursts of soft X-ray emission whose physical origins remain uncertain. The Einstein Probe (EP) mission has recently enabled prompt…

TOI-3664 b, TOI-4034 b & TOI-6564 b: Three new hot Jupiters around stars approaching the terminal age main sequence

Matthew P. Battley, Marina Lafarga, Edward Gillen +21

Studying the evolution of hot Jupiters requires a sample of well-characterised systems across all evolutionary states. We present three new gas giant exoplanets around stars approa…
