Photon (Non)Conservation in the Reduced Speed of Light Approximation and How to (Almost) Fix It

Kavli Affiliate: Nickolay Gnedin | Summary:The "Reduced Speed of Light" (RSL) approximation is commonly used to speed up radiative transfer calculations in cosmological simulations. However, it has been shown previously that the RSL approximation leads to photon non-conservation when the radiation field is rapidly evolving in time. I show that these missing photons can be […]

COSMOS-3D: Dense Circumnuclear Gas across Black Hole Growth Phases at z ~ 3

Kavli Affiliate: Luis Ho | Summary:We report the discovery of two broad-line X-ray AGNs (cid_414 and cid_947) at z ~ 3 identified in the JWST Cycle 3 COSMOS-3D program using NIRCam F444W grism spectroscopy. Both exhibit prominent HeI+Pa$γ$ emission and absorption, indicative of circumnuclear dense gas that is traced in these systems. Complementary UV and […]

The DREAMS Project: Disentangling the Impact of Halo-to-Halo Variance and Baryonic Feedback on Milky Way Satellite Galaxies

Kavli Affiliate: Lina Necib | Summary:We analyze the properties of satellite galaxies around 1,024 Milky Way-mass hosts from the DREAMS Project, simulated within a $Λ$CDM cosmology. Utilizing the TNG galaxy-formation model, the DREAMS simulations incorporate both baryonic physics and cosmological uncertainties for a large sample of galaxies with diverse environments and formation histories. We investigate […]

Discovery of two little red dots transitioning into quasars

Kavli Affiliate: Linhua Jiang | Summary:James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has uncovered a new population of compact objects that show a unique V-shaped spectral energy distribution (SED) in the UV and optical wavelength range. These so-called "little red dots" (LRDs) often exhibit broad Balmer emission lines, indicative of the presence of active galactic nuclei (AGNs). […]

COSMOS-3D: Two obscured X-ray AGNs with hot dust and He I$λ$10830 absorption at z~3

Kavli Affiliate: Linhua Jiang | Summary:We report the discovery of two broad-line X-ray AGNs cid_414 and cid_947 at z~3 that exhibit prominent He I$λ$10830+ Pa$γ$ emission and absorption, identified from the JWST Cycle 3 large GO treasury program COSMOS-3D using NIRCam F444W grism spectroscopy. Additional UV/optical line measurements (e.g., Ly$α$, Si IV, C IV) come […]

Photon (Non)Conservation in the Reduced Speed of Light Approximation and How to (Almost) Fix It

Kavli Affiliate: Nickolay Gnedin | Summary:The "Reduced Speed of Light" (RSL) approximation is commonly used to speed up radiative transfer calculations in cosmological simulations. However, it has been shown previously that the RSL approximation leads to photon non-conservation in some regimes. I show that these missing photons can be counted exactly for some numerical schemes.
