Decoding the Galactic Twirl: The Downfall of Milky Way-mass Galaxies Rotation Curves in the FIRE Simulations

Kavli Affiliate: Anna Frebel | First 5 Authors: Xiaowei Ou, Lina Necib, Andrew Wetzel, Anna Frebel, Jeremy Bailin | Summary: Recent measurements of the Milky Way rotation curve found a sharp decline at around $15$-$20$ kpc from the center of the Galaxy, suggesting that the Galactic dark matter halo is much less massive than predicted […]

Little Red Dots as the Very First Activity of Black Hole Growth

Kavli Affiliate: Kohei Inayoshi | First 5 Authors: Kohei Inayoshi, , , , | Summary: The James Webb Space Telescope has detected massive black holes (BHs) with masses of $sim 10^{6-8}~M_odot$ within the first billion years of the universe. One of the remarkable findings is the identification of "Little Red Dots" (LRDs), a unique class […]

Measurement of the Branching Fraction of $Λ_c^+ to p K_S^0 π^0$ at Belle

Kavli Affiliate: T. Higuchi | First 5 Authors: The Belle, Belle II Collaborations, :, I. Adachi, L. Aggarwal | Summary: We report a precise measurement of the ratio of branching fractions $mathcal{B}(Lambda_c^+to p K_S^0 pi^0)/mathcal{B}(Lambda_c^+to p K^- pi^+)$ using 980 fb$^{-1}$ of $e^+e^-$ data from the Belle experiment. We obtain a value of $mathcal{B}(Lambda_c^+to p […]
