Descripción
As part of the Chandra Guaranteed Time Program we are imaging M31 once/month. The HRC is used to observe the entire galaxy to 10**37 ergs/sec, and interesting transients are followup up with ACIS observations which reach 10**36 ergs/sec. Thus the known (Galactic) types of accretion powered x-ray transients can detected and their spectra can be measured. These observations should lead to the first measurements of the mass function for stellar mass black holes in another galaxy. Highlights of the program to date include detection of a source within 1 arc-sec of the central super-massive black hole which has an unusually soft spectrum. A bright transient is detected 26 arc-sec to the west of the nucleus, which may be associated with a stellar mass black hole. The diffuse emission is clearly resolved from the point sources, and has a much softer spectrum that the typical point sources.

    Einasto Gravitational Potentials have Difficulty to Hold Spherically Symmetric Stellar Systems with Cores
    It was known that an ideal spherically symmetric stellar system with isotropic velocities and an inner core cannot reside in a Navarro, Frenk, and White (NFW) gravitational potential. The incompatibility can be pinned down to the radial gradient of the NFW potential in the very center of the system, which differs from zero. The gradient is

    The Aligned Orbit of a Hot Jupiter around the M Dwarf TOI-4201
    Measuring the obliquities of stars hosting giant planets may shed light on the dynamical history of planetary systems. Significant efforts have been made to measure the obliquities of FGK stars with hot Jupiters, mainly based on observations of the Rossiter–McLaughlin effect. In contrast, M dwarfs with hot Jupiters have hardly been explored because

    A Systematic Search for and Characterization of White Dwarf Binaries Across the H-R Diagram
    White dwarfs (WDs) are the endpoint of evolution for 97% of stars. Most of these stars are in multiple systems, and a significant fraction of those are compact enough to exchange mass, altering the structures and subsequent evolution of both stars. The physical mechanisms that facilitate these mass exchanges include common envelope evolution, Roche
