Peering into the heart of darkness with VLBA : Radio Quiet AGN in the JWST North Ecliptic Pole Time-Domain Field
We present initial results from the 4.8 GHz Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) survey of the JWST North Ecliptic Pole Time-Domain Field (TDF). From 106 radio sources found in the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array observations in the TDF, we detected 12 sources (11% detection rate) at 3.3 $μ$Jy rms sensitivity and 4 mas resolution. Most detections exhibit pc-scale emission (less than 40 pc) with high VLBA/VLA flux density ratios and brightness temperatures exceeding 10$^5$ K, confirming non-thermal …

JWST Coronagraphic Images of 14 Her c: a Cold Giant Planet in a Dynamically Hot, Multi-planet System
Most observed multi-planet systems are coplanar, in a dynamically "cold" configuration of concentric orbits like our own Solar System. With the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) we have detected 14 Her c, the first mature and cold exoplanet directly imaged in a dynamically "hot", multi-planet system. With large eccentricities and a nonzero mutual inclination, the present-day architecture of this system points to a turbulent past and ongoing angular momentum exchange between the planetary orbits…

There's a reason you separate military and the police. One fights the enemies of the state, the other serves and protects the people. When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the state tend to become the people.

The Diversity of Exoplanetary Environments and the Search for Signs of Life Beyond Earth
Thousands of exoplanets orbit nearby stars, showcasing a remarkable diversity in mass, size, and orbits. With the James Webb Space Telescope now operational, we are observing exoplanet atmospheres and aiming to reach down to small, habitable-zone exoplanets in search of signs of habitability and possibly even biosignature gases. Given the scarcity of targets, it is imperative to embrace the known diversity and consider the range of exoplanets that might host life. We review how Earth life inter…

TDCOSMO 2025: Cosmological constraints from strong lensing time delays
We present cosmological constraints from 8 strongly lensed quasars (hereafter, the TDCOSMO-2025 sample). Building on previous work, our analysis incorporated new deflector stellar velocity dispersions measured from spectra obtained with the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), the Keck Telescopes, and the Very Large Telescope (VLT), utilizing improved methods. We used integrated JWST stellar kinematics for 5 lenses, VLT-MUSE for 2, and resolved kinematics from Keck and JWST for RX J1131-1231. We …

High-precision light curves of geostationary objects: The PHANTOM ECHOES 2 RPO campaign
We present results from an extensive optical observation campaign that monitored the Geostationary satellites Intelsat 10-02, Mission Extension Vehicle 2, Thor 5, Thor 6, Thor 7, and Meteosat 11 over a 14 week period that covered the proximity operations and docking of Mission Extension Vehicle 2 with Intelsat 10-02. High-cadence single-color photometric observations are supplemented with targeted multi-color observations, high resolution imaging, and passive radio frequency positioning obtaine…

Softness and Hydrodynamic Interactions Regulate Lipoprotein Transport in Crowded Yolk Environments
Low-density lipoproteins (LDLs) serve as nutrient reservoirs in egg yolk for embryonic development and as promising drug carriers. Both roles critically depend on their mobility in densely crowded biological environments. Under these crowded conditions, diffusion is hindered by transient confinement within dynamic cages formed by neighboring particles, driven by solvent-mediated hydrodynamic interactions and memory effects -- phenomena that have remained challenging to characterize computationa…

Sampling Bayesian probabilities given only sampled priors
A typical Bayesian inference on the values of some parameters of interest $q$ from some data $D$ involves running a Markov Chain (MC) to sample from the posterior $p(q,n | D) \propto \mathcal{L}(D | q,n) p(q) p(n),$ where $n$ are some nuisance parameters. In many cases, the nuisance parameters are high-dimensional, and their prior $p(n)$ is itself defined only by a set of samples that have been drawn from some other MC. Two problems arise: first, the MC for the posterior will typicall…
