The Origin of the Relation Between Stellar Angular Momentum and Stellar Mass in Nearby Disk-dominated galaxies

Kavli Affiliate: Luis C. Ho | First 5 Authors: Min Du, Luis C. Ho, Hao-Ran Yu, Victor P. Debattista, | Summary: The IllustrisTNG simulations reproduce the observed scaling relation between stellar specific angular momentum (sAM) $j_{rm s}$ and mass $M_{rm s}$ of central galaxies. We show that the local $j_{rm s}$-$M_{rm s}$ relation ${rm log} […]

The Origin of the Stellar Angular Momentum-Mass Relation: Connecting Galaxies and Halos in IllustrisTNG

Kavli Affiliate: Luis C. Ho | First 5 Authors: Min Du, Luis C. Ho, Hao-Ran Yu, Victor P. Debattista, | Summary: The IllustrisTNG simulations reproduce well the observed scaling relation between specific angular momentum (sAM) $j_{rm s}$ and mass $M_{rm s}$ of galaxies, i.e., the $j_{rm s}$-$M_{rm s}$ relation. This relation develops in disk galaxies […]

Blockchain-based Collaborated Federated Learning for Improved Security, Privacy and Reliability

Kavli Affiliate: Zeeshan Ahmed | First 5 Authors: Amir Afaq, Zeeshan Ahmed, Noman Haider, Muhammad Imran, | Summary: Federated Learning (FL) provides privacy preservation by allowing the model training at edge devices without the need of sending the data from edge to a centralized server. FL has distributed the implementation of ML. Another variant of […]

H$_2$-dominated Atmosphere as an Indicator of Second-generation Rocky White Dwarf Exoplanets

Kavli Affiliate: Sara Seager | First 5 Authors: Zifan Lin, Sara Seager, Sukrit Ranjan, Thea Kozakis, Lisa Kaltenegger | Summary: Following the discovery of the first exoplanet candidate transiting a white dwarf (WD), a "white dwarf opportunity" for characterizing the atmospheres of terrestrial exoplanets around WDs is emerging. Large planet-to-star size ratios and hence large […]

TESS Revisits WASP-12: Updated Orbital Decay Rate and Constraints on Atmospheric Variability

Kavli Affiliate: Avi Shporer | First 5 Authors: Ian Wong, Avi Shporer, Shreyas Vissapragada, Michael Greklek-McKeon, Heather A. Knutson | Summary: After observing WASP-12 in the second year of the primary mission, the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) revisited the system in late 2021 during its extended mission. In this paper, we incorporate the new […]

Photochemical Runaway in Exoplanet Atmospheres: Implications for Biosignatures

Kavli Affiliate: Sara Seager | First 5 Authors: Sukrit Ranjan, Sara Seager, Zhuchang Zhan, Daniel D. B. Koll, William Bains | Summary: About 2.5 billion years ago, microbes learned to harness plentiful Solar energy to reduce CO$_2$ with H$_2$O, extracting energy and producing O$_2$ as waste. O$_2$ production from this metabolic process was so vigorous […]
