Mitigating the effects of particle background on the Athena Wide-Field Imager

Posted by klaurent January 31, 2022MIT

Kavli Affiliate: Marshall W. Bautz | First 5 Authors: [#item_custom_name[1]], [#item_custom_name[2]], [#item_custom_name[3]], [#item_custom_name[4]], [#item_custom_name[5]] | Summary: The Wide Field Imager (WFI) flying on Athena will usher in the next era of studying the hot and energetic Universe. WFI observations of faint, diffuse sources will be limited by uncertainty in the background produced by high-energy particles. […]

A Possible Alignment Between the Orbits of Planetary Systems and their Visual Binary Companions

Posted by klaurent January 31, 2022MIT

Kavli Affiliate: Christopher J. Burke | First 5 Authors: [#item_custom_name[1]], [#item_custom_name[2]], [#item_custom_name[3]], [#item_custom_name[4]], [#item_custom_name[5]] | Summary: Astronomers do not have a complete picture of the effects of wide-binary companions (semimajor axes greater than 100 AU) on the formation and evolution of exoplanets. We investigate these effects using new data from Gaia EDR3 and the TESS […]

X-ray morphology of cluster-mass haloes in self-interacting dark matter

Posted by klaurent January 31, 2022Stanford

Kavli Affiliate: Adam Mantz | First 5 Authors: [#item_custom_name[1]], [#item_custom_name[2]], [#item_custom_name[3]], [#item_custom_name[4]], [#item_custom_name[5]] | Summary: We perform cosmological zoom-in simulations of $19$ relaxed cluster-mass haloes with the inclusion of adiabatic gas in the cold dark matter (CDM) and self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) models. These clusters are selected as dynamically relaxed clusters from a parent simulation […]
