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

Kavli Affiliate: Steven Allen | First 5 Authors: Eric D. Miller, Catherine E. Grant, Marshall W. Bautz, Silvano Molendi, Ralph Kraft | 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 […]

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

Kavli Affiliate: Adam Mantz | First 5 Authors: Xuejian Shen, Thejs Brinckmann, David Rapetti, Mark Vogelsberger, Adam Mantz | 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 […]

Precisely computing bound orbits of spinning bodies around black holes I: General framework and results for nearly equatorial orbits

Kavli Affiliate: Scott A. Hughes | First 5 Authors: Lisa V. Drummond, Scott A. Hughes, , , | Summary: Very large mass ratio binary black hole systems are of interest both as a clean limit of the two-body problem in general relativity, as well as for their importance as sources of low-frequency gravitational waves. At […]
