Ultra-diffuse galaxies in the EAGLE simulation

Haonan Zheng, Shihong Liao, Liang Gao, Fangzhou Jiang, | Summary: [[{“value”:”We use the highest-resolution EAGLE simulation, Recal-L025N0752, to study the properties and formation of ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs). We identify 181 UDGs and find their properties closely match observations. The total masses of EAGLE UDGs range from ${sim}5times 10^{8}~M_{odot}$ to ${sim}2times 10^{11}~M_{odot}$, indicating that they are […]

Geometry of Kinematic Flow

Kavli Affiliate: Austin Joyce | First 5 Authors: Daniel Baumann, Harry Goodhew, Austin Joyce, Hayden Lee, Guilherme L. Pimentel | Summary: We uncover a geometric organization of the differential equations for the wavefunction coefficients of conformally coupled scalars in power-law cosmologies. To do this, we introduce a basis of functions inspired by a decomposition of […]

Detecting Intermediate-mass Black Holes Using Quasar Microlensing

Kavli Affiliate: Luis C. Ho | First 5 Authors: Zihao Wu, Luis C. Ho, , , | Summary: Recent studies suggest that numerous intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) may wander undetected across the Universe, emitting little radiation. These IMBHs largely preserve their birth masses, offering critical insights into the formation of heavy black hole seeds and […]

Q-balls Under Spontaneously Broken U(1) Symmetry

Kavli Affiliate: Masahiro Kawasaki | First 5 Authors: Masahiro Kawasaki, Kai Murai, Fuminobu Takahashi, , | Summary: We study the evolution of Q-balls under a spontaneously broken global $U(1)$ symmetry. Q-balls are stabilized by the conservation of $U(1)$ charge, but when the symmetry is spontaneously broken, the resulting Nambu-Goldstone (NG) boson can carry charge away […]

Cosmological Evolution of Fast Radio Bursts and The Star Formation Rate

Kavli Affiliate: Vahe Petrosian | First 5 Authors: Sujay Champati, Vahé Petrosian, , , | Summary: We investigate the cosmological evolution of the luminosity and redshift of FRBs. As is the case for all extragalactic sources, we are dealing with data that are truncated by observational selection effects, the most important being the flux limit, […]

Sensitivity of BEACON to Ultra-High Energy Diffuse and Transient Neutrinos

Kavli Affiliate: Abigail G. Vieregg | First 5 Authors: Andrew Zeolla, Jaime Alvarez-Muñiz, Sergio Cabana-Freire, Washington Carvalho Jr., Austin Cummings | Summary: Ultra-high energy neutrinos ($E>10^{17}$ eV) can provide insight into the most powerful accelerators in the universe, however their flux is extremely low. The Beamforming Elevated Array for COsmic Neutrinos (BEACON) is a detector […]

The radial metric function does not identify null surfaces

Kavli Affiliate: Anthony Lasenby | First 5 Authors: Yi-Hsiung Hsu, Will Barker, Michael Hobson, Anthony Lasenby, | Summary: We investigate the conditions under which a hypersurface becomes null through the use of coordinate transformations. We demonstrate that, in static spacetimes, the correct criterion for a surface to be null is~$g_{tt} = 0$, rather than~$g^{rr} = […]
