Stochastic Low Frequency Variability in 3-Dimensional Radiation Hydrodynamical Models of Massive Star Envelopes

Posted by klaurent UCSB

Kavli Affiliate: Lars Bildsten | First 5 Authors: William C. Schultz, Lars Bildsten, Yan-Fei Jiang, , | Summary: Increasing main sequence stellar luminosity with stellar mass leads to the eventual dominance of radiation pressure in stellar envelope hydrostatic balance. As the luminosity approaches the Eddington limit, additional instabilities (beyond conventional convection) can occur. These instabilities […]

The Cosmic Ultraviolet Baryon Survey (CUBS) IV: The Complex Multiphase Circumgalactic Medium as Revealed by Partial Lyman Limit Systems

Posted by klaurent MIT

Kavli Affiliate: Robert A. Simcoe | First 5 Authors: Thomas J. Cooper, Gwen C. Rudie, Hsiao-Wen Chen, Sean D. Johnson, Fakhri S. Zahedy | Summary: We present a detailed study of two partial Lyman limit systems (pLLSs) of neutral hydrogen column density $N_mathrm{H,I}approx(1-3)times10^{16},mathrm{cm}^{-2}$ discovered at $z=0.5$ in the Cosmic Ultraviolet Baryon Survey (CUBS). Available far-ultraviolet […]

Axion dark matter-induced echo of supernova remnants

Posted by klaurent MIT

Kavli Affiliate: Kiyoshi Masui | First 5 Authors: Yitian Sun, Katelin Schutz, Anjali Nambrath, Calvin Leung, Kiyoshi Masui | Summary: Axions are a theoretically promising dark matter (DM) candidate. In the presence of radiation from bright astrophysical sources at radio frequencies, nonrelativistic DM axions can undergo stimulated decay to two nearly back-to-back photons, meaning that […]

Measuring the Density Fields around Bright Quasars at $zsim 6$ with XQR-30 Spectra

Posted by klaurent Chicago

Kavli Affiliate: Nickolay Y. Gnedin | First 5 Authors: Huanqing Chen, Anna-Christina Eilers, Sarah E. I. Bosman, Nickolay Y. Gnedin, Xiaohui Fan | Summary: Measuring the density of the intergalactic medium using quasar sightlines in the epoch of reionization is challenging due to the saturation of Lyman-$alpha$ absorption. Near a luminous quasar, however, the enhanced […]

Intersonic Detachment Surface Waves in Elastomer Frictional Sliding

Posted by klaurent Harvard

Kavli Affiliate: David A. Weitz | First 5 Authors: Huifeng Du, Emmanuel Virot, Liying Wang, Sam Kharchenko, Md Arifur Rahman | Summary: Elastomeric materials when sliding on clean and rough surfaces generate wrinkles at the interface due to tangential stress gradients. These interfacial folds travel along the bottom of elastomer as surface detachment waves to […]
