Buchdahl bound, photon ring, ISCO and radial acceleration in Einstein-æther theory

Kavli Affiliate: Anthony Lasenby | First 5 Authors: Yi-Hsiung Hsu, Anthony Lasenby, Will Barker, Amel Durakovic, Michael Hobson | Summary: Spherically symmetric Einstein-{ae}ther (E{AE}) theory with a Maxwell-like kinetic term is revisited. We consider a general choice of the metric and the ae{}ther field, finding that:~(i) there is a gauge freedom allowing one always to […]

Hair is complicated: Gravitational waves from stable and unstable boson-star mergers

Kavli Affiliate: Ulrich Sperhake | First 5 Authors: Bo-Xuan Ge, Eugene A. Lim, Ulrich Sperhake, Tamara Evstafyeva, Daniela Cors | Summary: We explore the gravitational-wave emission from head-on collisions of equal-mass solitonic boson-star binaries from simulations spanning a two-dimensional parameter space, consisting of the central scalar-field amplitude of the stars and the solitonic potential parameter. […]

Measuring redshift and galaxy properties via a multi-task neural net with probabilistic outputs: An application to simulated MOONS spectra

Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: Michele Ginolfi, Filippo Mannucci, Francesco Belfiore, Alessandro Marconi, Nicholas Boardman | Summary: The era of large-scale astronomical surveys demands innovative approaches for rapid and accurate analysis of extensive spectral data, and a promising direction to address this challenge is offered by artificial intelligence (AI). Here we introduce […]

The missing FeII bump in faint JWST AGN: possible evidence for metal-poor broad-line regions at early cosmic times

Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: Bartolomeo Trefoloni, Xihan Ji, Roberto Maiolino, Francesco D’Eugenio, Hannah Übler | Summary: Recent JWST observations have revealed a large population of intermediate/low-luminosity AGN at early times with peculiar properties, different from local AGN or luminous quasars. To better understand the physical conditions in the BLRs of these […]

The Atacama Cosmology Telescope: A measurement of galaxy cluster temperatures through relativistic corrections to the thermal Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect

Kavli Affiliate: Blake Sherwin | First 5 Authors: William R. Coulton, Adriaan J. Duivenvoorden, Zachary Atkins, Nicholas Battaglia, Elia Stefano Battistelli | Summary: The high electron temperature in galaxy clusters ($>1,$keV or $>10^7,$K) leads to corrections at the level of a few percent in their thermal Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect signatures. Both the size and frequency dependence […]

The abundance and nature of high-redshift quiescent galaxies from JADES spectroscopy and the FLAMINGO simulations

Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: William M. Baker, Seunghwan Lim, Francesco D’Eugenio, Roberto Maiolino, Zhiyuan Ji | Summary: We use NIRSpec/MSA spectroscopy and NIRCam imaging to study a sample of 18 massive ($log; M_{*}/M_{odot} gt 10;$dex), central quiescent galaxies at $2leq z leq 5$ in the GOODS fields, to investigate their number […]

GA-NIFS & EIGER: A merging quasar host at z=7 with an overmassive black hole

Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: Madeline A. Marshall, Minghao Yue, Anna-Christina Eilers, Jan Scholtz, Michele Perna | Summary: The James Webb Space Telescope is revolutionising our ability to understand the host galaxies and local environments of high-z quasars. Here we obtain a comprehensive understanding of the host galaxy of the z=7.08 quasar […]

The Atacama Cosmology Telescope DR6 and DESI: Structure growth measurements from the cross-correlation of DESI Legacy Imaging galaxies and CMB lensing from ACT DR6 and Planck PR4

Kavli Affiliate: Blake Sherwin | First 5 Authors: Frank J. Qu, Qianjun Hang, Gerrit Farren, Boris Bolliet, Jessica Nicole Aguilar | Summary: We measure the growth of cosmic density fluctuations on large scales and across the redshift range $0.3<z<0.8$ through the cross-correlation of the ACT DR6 CMB lensing map and galaxies from the DESI Legacy […]

Age-dating early quiescent galaxies: high star-formation efficiency, but consistent with direct, higher-redshift observations

Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: Crispin Turner, Sandro Tacchella, Francesco D’Eugenio, Stefano Carniani, Mirko Curti | Summary: We present a detailed analysis of JWST/NIRSpec and NIRCam observations of ZF-UDS-7329, a massive, quiescent galaxy at redshift $z=3.2$, which has been put forward to challenge cosmology and galaxy formation physics. Our study extends previous […]

Classification of radio backgrounds at cosmic dawn and 21-cm signal confirmation using neural networks

Kavli Affiliate: George Efstathiou | First 5 Authors: Sudipta Sikder, Anastasia Fialkov, Rennan Barkana, , | Summary: Several ongoing and upcoming radio telescopes aim to detect either the global 21-cm signal or the 21-cm power spectrum. The extragalactic radio background, as detected by ARCADE-2 and LWA-1, suggests a strong radio background from cosmic dawn, which […]
