The Galaxy Activity, Torus, and outflow Survey (GATOS) XIII: Coupling Driven H2 Excitation in Seyferts

Posted by klaurent April 7, 2026April 21, 2026Peking

Kavli Affiliate: Claudio Ricci | Summary:We utilize JWST/MIRI IFU observations from the Galaxy Activity, Torus and Outflow Survey (GATOS) to investigate the diverse range of ionized outflow rates of obscured AGN with similar bolometric luminosity and explore potential associations with AGN feedback. We explore spatial correlations between ionized emission potentially associated with fast shocks ([Fe […]

A Close Quasar Pair in a Massive Galaxy Merger at $z=5.7$

Posted by klaurent April 7, 2026April 21, 2026MIT

Kavli Affiliate: Robert Simcoe | Summary:Close quasar pairs are rare products of galaxy mergers in which both supermassive black holes (SMBHs) are actively accreting, offering strong constraints on merger-driven active galactic nuclei (AGN) evolution. Identifying close quasar pairs at $zgtrsim4$ is challenging due to the declining quasar number density in the early Universe. Here we […]

Topochemically-engineered coexistence of charge and spin orders in intercalated endotaxial heterostructures

Posted by klaurent April 7, 2026April 21, 2026Berkeley

Kavli Affiliate: Kwabena Bediako| Summary:Correlated electron systems that host multiple electronic orders offer routes to multifunctional quantum materials, but strong competition between these orders often prevents their coexistence. Here we show that nanoscale, metastable intercalated heterostructures can stabilize a rare combination of long-range magnetism and a commensurate charge density wave (C-CDW) order in a single […]

Black Hole-Boson Star Binaries: Gravitational Wave Signals and Tidal Disruption

Posted by klaurent April 7, 2026April 21, 2026Cambridge

Kavli Affiliate: Ulrich Sperhake | Summary:We present a detailed, fully nonlinear study of binary systems involving one black hole and one boson star, considering the effects of both a quartic self-interaction and a solitonic potential for the scalar field. First, we show the importance of using initial data for which the boson star is in […]

A Catalog of Mid-infrared Variable Sources in the Ecliptic Poles

Posted by klaurent April 7, 2026April 21, 2026Peking

Kavli Affiliate: Luis Ho | Summary:We construct a catalog of mid-infrared (MIR) variable sources using the multi-epoch 3.6 (W1) and 4.5 $μ$m (W2) dataset from the Near-Earth Object Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (NEOWISE) at the north and south ecliptic poles (NEP and SEP). The catalog provides well-sampled light curves that cover areas within a radius […]
