Mass Production of 2023 KMTNet Microlensing Planets I: Low Mass Ratio
Yoon-Hyun Ryu, Andrzej Udalski, Hongjing Yang +34
We initiate the systematic search for planets in the 2023 data of the Korea Microlensing Telescope Network (KMTNet), focusing on those planets found by the KMTNet AnomalyFinder wit…
An Attempt to Search for Unintended Electromagnetic Radiation from Starlink Satellites with the 21 Centimeter Array: Methodology and RFI Characterization
Xupiao Yang, Qijun Zhi, Yanbin Yang +6
The rapid expansion of low-Earth-orbit (LEO) megaconstellations introduces new risks to radio astronomy from unintended electromagnetic radiation (UEMR). In this work, we present a…
Detection of disk-jet co-precession in a tidal disruption event
Yanan Wang, Zikun Lin, Linhui Wu +46
Theories and simulations predict that intense spacetime curvature near black holes bends the trajectories of light and matter, driving disk and jet precession under relativistic to…
StarWhisper Telescope: An AI framework for automating end-to-end astronomical observations
Cunshi Wang, Yu Zhang, Yuyang Li +25
The exponential growth of large-scale telescope arrays has boosted time-domain astronomy development but introduced operational bottlenecks, including labor-intensive observation p…
Optical and Near-Infrared Spectroscopy of the Outbursting Comet 12P/Pons-Brooks
Ruining Zhao, Bin Yang, Michael S. P. Kelley +4
We present optical and near-infrared (NIR) observations of the outbursting, Halley-type comet 12P/Pons-Brooks. Three NIR spectra were obtained during two outbursts in October and N…
