Detection of persistent helium absorption in the 91bg-like type Ia Supernova 2022an

Ping Chen, Avishay Gal-Yam, Subo Dong +14

We present optical and near-infrared observations of the fast-declining Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) 2022an. The photometric and spectroscopic properties identify it as a standard 91b…

Probing the Planck scale with quantum computation

Boaz Katz, Shlomi Kotler

General relativity and quantum mechanics are incompatible at the Planck scale. This contention can be examined if a quantum computer is set to operate at a rate that exceeds the cl…

UV to near-IR observations of the DART-Dimorphos collision

E. O. Ofek, D. Kushnir, D. Polishook +15

The impact of the Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) spacecraft with Dimorphos allows us to study asteroid collision physics, including momentum transfer, the ejecta propertie…

A 12.4 day periodicity in a close binary system after a supernova

Ping Chen, Avishay Gal-Yam, Jesper Sollerman +37

Neutron stars and stellar-mass black holes are the remnants of massive star explosions. Most massive stars reside in close binary systems, and the interplay between the companion s…

Librating Kozai-Lidov Cycles with a Precessing Quadrupole Potential are Analytically Approximately Solved

Ygal Y. Klein, Boaz Katz

The very long-term evolution of the hierarchical restricted three-body problem with a slightly aligned precessing quadrupole potential is investigated analytically for librating Ko…

Analytic understanding of the resonant nature of Kozai Lidov Cycles with a precessing quadrupole potential

Ygal Y. Klein, Boaz Katz

The very long-term evolution of the hierarchical restricted three-body problem with a slightly aligned precessing quadrupole potential is studied analytically. This problem describ…
