The correlations of stellar tidal disruption rates with properties of massive black holes and their host galaxies

Kavli Affiliate: Qingjuan Yu | First 5 Authors: Yunfeng Chen, Qingjuan Yu, Youjun Lu, , | Summary: Stars can be either disrupted as tidal disruption events (TDEs) or swallowed as a whole by massive black holes (MBHs) at galactic centers when they approach sufficiently close to these MBHs. In this work, we investigate the correlations […]

Frequency Modulation of Gravitational Waves by Ultralight Scalar Dark Matter

Kavli Affiliate: Ke Wang | First 5 Authors: Ke Wang, Yin Zhong, , , | Summary: The oscillating pressure of the ultralight scalar dark matter (DM) can induce the oscillation of the local gravitational potential. Similar to the time-dependent frequency shift for the pulse signals of pulsars, the oscillation of the local gravitational potential can […]

Genes in Intelligent Agents

Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Fu Feng, Jing Wang, Xu Yang, Xin Geng, | Summary: The genes in nature give the lives on earth the current biological intelligence through transmission and accumulation over billions of years. Inspired by the biological intelligence, artificial intelligence (AI) has devoted to building the machine intelligence. Although […]

No thick carbon dioxide atmosphere on the rocky exoplanet TRAPPIST-1 c

Kavli Affiliate: Laura Schaefer | First 5 Authors: , , , , | Summary: Seven rocky planets orbit the nearby dwarf star TRAPPIST-1, providing a unique opportunity to search for atmospheres on small planets outside the Solar System (Gillon et al., 2017). Thanks to the recent launch of JWST, possible atmospheric constituents such as carbon […]

Outshining by Recent Star Formation Prevents the Accurate Measurement of High-z Galaxy Stellar Masses

Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: Desika Narayanan, Sidney Lower, Paul Torrey, Gabriel Brammer, Weiguang Cui | Summary: In this paper, we demonstrate that the inference of galaxy stellar masses via spectral energy distribution (SED) fitting techniques for galaxies formed in the first billion years after the Big Bang carries fundamental uncertainties owing […]
