Tidally Tilted Pulsators

Posted by klaurent MIT

Kavli Affiliate: Saul A. Rappaport | First 5 Authors: Gerald Handler, Rahul Jayaraman, Donald W. Kurtz, Jim Fuller, Saul A. Rappaport | Summary: The tidally tilted pulsators are a new type of oscillating star in close binary systems that have their pulsation axis in the orbital plane because of the tidal distortion caused by their […]

Percent-level constraints on baryonic feedback with spectral distortion measurements

Posted by klaurent MIT

Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: Leander Thiele, Digvijay Wadekar, J. Colin Hill, Nicholas Battaglia, Jens Chluba | Summary: High-significance measurements of the monopole thermal Sunyaev-Zel’dovich CMB spectral distortions have the potential to tightly constrain poorly understood baryonic feedback processes. The sky-averaged Compton-y distortion and its relativistic correction are measures of the total […]

A census of 163 large-scale (>=10 pc), velocity-coherent filaments in inner Galactic plane: physical properties, dense gas fraction, and association with spiral arms

Posted by klaurent Peking

Kavli Affiliate: Ke Wang | First 5 Authors: Yifei Ge, Ke Wang, , , | Summary: The interstellar medium has a highly filamentary and hierarchical structure, which may play a significant role in star formation. A systematical study on the large-scale filaments towards their physical parameters, distribution, structures and kinematics will inform us of what […]
