Observational Signatures of Accretion Disks around a Schwarzschild Black Hole in a Hernquist Dark Matter Halo

Zhenglong Ban, Jing-Ya Zhao, Tian-You Ren +2

We investigate how a Hernquist type dark matter (DM) halo, parametrized by its core radius and central density , influences both the gravitational wave (GW) emissio…

A parameterized equation of state for dark energy and Hubble Tension

Jing-Ya Zhao, Tong-Yu He, Jia-Jun Yin +2

We propose a parameterized equation of state for dark energy and perform observational tests with the Hubble parameter measurements, the Pantheon supernova sample, baryon acoustic…

Time-resolved p-mode oscillations for subgiant HD 142091 with NEID at WIYN

Jacob K. Luhn, Paul Robertson, Samuel Halverson +22

Detections of Earth-analog planets in radial velocity observations are limited by stellar astrophysical variability occurring on a variety of timescales. Current state-of-the-art m…

Polarization position angle standard stars: a reassessment of and its variability for seventeen stars based on a decade of observations

Daniel V. Cotton, Jeremy Bailey, Lucyna Kedziora-Chudczer +14

Observations of polarization position angle () standards made from 2014 to 2023 with the High Precision Polarimetric Instrument (HIPPI) and other HIPPI-class polarimeters in bo…

Earths within Reach: Evaluation of Strategies for Mitigating Solar Variability using 3.5 years of NEID Sun-as-a-Star Observations

Eric B. Ford, Chad F. Bender, Cullen H. Blake +15

We present the results of Sun-as-a-star observations by the NEID Solar Telescope at WIYN Observatory, spanning January 1, 2021 through June 30, 2024. We identify 117,060 observatio…

The death of Vulcan: NEID reveals the planet candidate orbiting HD 26965 is stellar activity

Abigail Burrows, Samuel Halverson, Jared C. Siegel +17

We revisit the long-studied radial velocity (RV) target HD26965 using recent observations from the NASA-NSF 'NEID' precision Doppler facility. Leveraging a suite of classical activ…
