Detecting Intermediate-mass Black Holes Using Miniature Pulsar Timing Arrays in Globular Clusters

Kavli Affiliate: Kejia Lee | First 5 Authors: Xian Chen, Xian Chen, , , | Summary: Theoretical models predict that intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) exist in globular clusters (GCs), but observational evidence remains elusive. Millisecond pulsars (MSPs), which are abundant in GCs and have served as precise probes for gravitational waves (GWs), offer a unique […]

BASS XLVIII: [Ne v] λ3427 Emission in Powerful Nearby Active Galactic Nuclei

Kavli Affiliate: Claudio Ricci | First 5 Authors: Tomer Reiss, Tomer Reiss, , , | Summary: We investigate the high-ionization, narrow [Ne v] $lambda$3427 emission line in a sample of over 340 ultrahard X-ray (14-195 keV) selected Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) drawn from the BASS project. The analysis includes measurements in individual and stacked spectra, […]

Universal energy limits of radiation belts in planetary and brown dwarf magnetospheric systems

Kavli Affiliate: George Clark | First 5 Authors: Drew L. Turner, Drew L. Turner, , , | Summary: Radiation belts are regions of magnetically trapped particle radiation found around all of the sufficiently magnetized planets in the Solar System and recently also observed around brown dwarfs, yet despite their ubiquity, there is not yet a […]

Gravitational lensing rarely produces high-mass outliers to the compact binary population

Kavli Affiliate: Daniel Holz | First 5 Authors: Amanda Farah, Amanda Farah, , , | Summary: All gravitational-wave signals are inevitably gravitationally lensed by intervening matter as they propagate through the Universe. When a gravitational-wave signal is magnified, it appears to have originated from a closer, more massive system. Thus, high-mass outliers to the gravitational-wave […]

The z=1.03 Merging Cluster SPT-CL J0356-5337: New Strong Lensing Analysis with HST and MUSE

Kavli Affiliate: Bradford Benson | First 5 Authors: Grace Smith, Grace Smith, , , | Summary: We present a strong lensing analysis and reconstruct the mass distribution of SPT-CL J0356-5337, a galaxy cluster at redshift z = 1.034. Our model supersedes previous models by making use of new multi-band HST data and MUSE spectroscopy. We […]
