GA-NIFS: A galaxy-wide outflow in a Compton-thick mini-BAL quasar at z = 3.5 probed in emission and absorption

Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: Michele Perna, Santiago Arribas, Xihan Ji, Cosimo Marconcini, Isabella Lamperti | Summary: Studying the distribution and properties of ionised gas in outflows driven by AGN is crucial for understanding the feedback mechanisms at play in extragalactic environments. In this study, we explore the connection between ionised outflows […]

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 […]
