Two extremely irradiated volatile-rich sub-Neptunes with companions in the TOI-426 and TOI-1839 systems: Insights into arrival and survival near the lower edge of the Neptunian desert
Using TESS photometry and 147 HARPS radial velocities, we confirm two extremely irradiated, volatile-rich sub-Neptunes near the lower edge of the Neptunian desert: TOI-426 b and TOI-1839 b, orbiting the solar-type stars HD 34390 and TYC 304-865-1. We modelled stellar activity with shared-timescale and multidimensional Gaussian processes. The planets have orbital periods of approximately 1.32 and 1.42 days, radii of $2.19\pm0.09$ and $2.27\pm0.10$ Earth radii, and masses of $6.7\pm1.8$ and $7.10\…
Tracing the Cosmic Origins: Machine Learning Reconstruction of the Primordial Density Field from EoR Observations
Reconstructing the initial conditions of the Universe from late-time tracers would unlock cosmological information buried by non-linear structure formation and astrophysics. We reconstruct the initial density field at $z\sim300$ from simulated 21-cm and CO(1-0) line-intensity maps at $z\sim8$ generated with LIMFAST. Using a three-dimensional U-Net, we reconstruct the initial conditions and evaluate its impact on cosmological parameter constraints. The two tracers probe complementary environments…
Metallicity dependence of Wolf-Rayet binaries using detailed binary models: An absence of long-period systems at low metallicity
Observations of Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars in binaries in the SMC and LMC suggest a preference for short period ($P\lesssim30$ days) orbits, with an apparent absence of WRs in long-period systems. The Galactic population does extend to longer periods but shows a deficit in long-period WR binaries compared to their progenitors, the O-star population. Across these populations a nearly constant binary fraction has been observed. We aim to characterize the population of WR binaries across a range of meta…
