Kavli Affiliate: Ulrich Sperhake | First 5 Authors: Gareth Arturo Marks, Seppe J. Staelens, Tamara Evstafyeva, Ulrich Sperhake, | Summary: We study the stability of ultracompact boson stars admitting light rings combining a perturbative analysis with 3+1 numerical-relativity simulations with and without symmetry assumptions. We observe excellent agreement between all perturbative and numerical results which […]

Kavli Affiliate: Debora Sijacki | First 5 Authors: Stephanie Buttigieg, Debora Sijacki, Christopher J. Moore, Martin A. Bourne, | Summary: The co-evolution of massive black holes (BHs) and their host galaxies is well-established within the hierarchical galaxy formation paradigm. Large-scale cosmological simulations are an ideal tool to study the repeated BH mergers, accretion and feedback […]

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} = […]

Kavli Affiliate: Anthony Challinor | First 5 Authors: Íñigo Zubeldia, Boris Bolliet, Anthony Challinor, William Handley, | Summary: The abundance of galaxy clusters as a function of mass and redshift is a well-established and powerful cosmological probe. Cosmological analyses based on galaxy cluster number counts have traditionally relied on explicitly computed likelihoods, which are often […]

Kavli Affiliate: George Efstathiou | First 5 Authors: Peter H. Sims, Harry T. J. Bevins, Anastasia Fialkov, Dominic Anstey, Will J. Handley | Summary: Observations of the Epoch of Reionization (EoR) have the potential to answer long-standing questions of astrophysical interest regarding the nature of the first luminous sources and their effects on the intergalactic […]

Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: Ignas Juodžbalis, Roberto Maiolino, William M. Baker, Emma Curtis Lake, Jan Scholtz | Summary: The depth and coverage of the first years of JWST observations have revealed low luminosity active galactic nuclei (AGN) across a wide redshift range, shedding light on black hole (BH) assembly and feedback. […]
