A genetic algorithm for peer-review panel composition

Ferdinando Patat

The composition of scientific review panels is a constrained optimization problem in which a finite pool of experts must be distributed among multiple panels while balancing scient…

JWST MIRI/MRS Observations and Spectral Models of the Under-luminous Type Ia Supernova 2022xkq

J. M. DerKacy, C. Ashall, P. Hoeflich +44

We present a JWST mid-infrared spectrum of the under-luminous Type Ia Supernova (SN Ia) 2022xkq, obtained with the medium-resolution spectrometer on the Mid-Infrared Instrument (MI…

An irradiated-Jupiter analogue hotter than the Sun

Na'ama Hallakoun, Dan Maoz, Alina G. Istrate +10

Planets orbiting close to hot stars experience intense extreme-ultraviolet radiation, potentially leading to atmosphere evaporation and to thermal dissociation of molecules. Howeve…

Spectropolarimetry of the type IIP supernova 2021yja: an unusually high continuum polarization during the photospheric phase

Sergiy S. Vasylyev, Yi Yang, Kishore C. Patra +9

We present six epochs of optical spectropolarimetry of the Type IIP supernova (SN) 2021yja ranging from 25 to 95 days after the explosion. An unusually high continuum linear…

Diversity of dust properties in external galaxies confirmed by polarization signals from Type II supernovae

Takashi Nagao, Ferdinando Patat, Keiichi Maeda +8

Investigating interstellar (IS) dust properties in external galaxies is important not only to infer the intrinsic properties of astronomical objects but also to understand the star…
