What drives galaxy quenching? A deep connection between galaxy kinematics and quenching in the local Universe

Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: Simcha Brownson, Asa F. L. Bluck, Roberto Maiolino, Gareth C. Jones, | Summary: We develop a 2D inclined rotating disc model, which we apply to the stellar velocity maps of 1862 galaxies taken from the MaNGA survey (SDSS public Data Release 15). We use a random forest […]

Lessons for adaptive mesh refinement in numerical relativity

Kavli Affiliate: Ulrich Sperhake | First 5 Authors: Miren Radia, Ulrich Sperhake, Amelia Drew, Katy Clough, Pau Figueras | Summary: We demonstrate the flexibility and utility of the Berger-Rigoutsos Adaptive Mesh Refinement (AMR) algorithm used in the open-source numerical relativity code GRChombo for generating gravitational waveforms from binary black-hole inspirals, and for studying other problems […]

Note on the absence of the second clock effect in Weyl gauge theories of gravity

Kavli Affiliate: Anthony Lasenby | First 5 Authors: Michael Hobson, Anthony Lasenby, , , | Summary: We reconsider the status of the so-called second clock effect in Weyl gauge theories of gravity, which are invariant both under local Poincar’e transformations and local changes of scale. In particular, we revisit and extend our previous demonstration that […]

Galactic Winds across the Gas-Rich Merger Sequence: I. Highly Ionized N V and O VI Outflows in the QUEST Quasars

Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: Sylvain Veilleux, David S. N. Rupke, Weizhe Liu, Anthony To, Margaret Trippe | Summary: This program is part of QUEST (Quasar/ULIRG Evolutionary Study) and seeks to examine the gaseous environments of z < 0.3 quasars and ULIRGs as a function of host galaxy properties and age across […]

Enhanced monitoring of atmospheric methane from space with hierarchical Bayesian inference

Kavli Affiliate: Kaisey Mandel | First 5 Authors: Clayton Roberts, Oliver Shorttle, Kaisey Mandel, Matthew Jones, Rutger Ijzermans | Summary: Methane is a strong greenhouse gas, with a higher radiative forcing per unit mass and shorter atmospheric lifetime than carbon dioxide. The remote sensing of methane in regions of industrial activity is a key step […]

Towards convergence of turbulent dynamo amplification in cosmological simulations of galaxies

Kavli Affiliate: Debora Sijacki | First 5 Authors: Sergio Martin-Alvarez, Julien Devriendt, Adrianne Slyz, Debora Sijacki, Mark L. A. Richardson | Summary: Our understanding of the process through which magnetic fields reached their observed strengths in present-day galaxies remains incomplete. One of the advocated solutions is a turbulent dynamo mechanism that rapidly amplifies weak magnetic […]

Blandford-Znajek jets in galaxy formation simulations: exploring the diversity of outflows produced by spin-driven AGN jets

Kavli Affiliate: Debora Sijacki | First 5 Authors: Rosie Y. Talbot, Debora Sijacki, Martin A. Bourne, , | Summary: Recent observations of Seyfert galaxies indicate that low power, misaligned jets can undergo significant interaction with the gas in the galactic disc and may be able to drive large-scale, multiphase outflows. We apply our novel sub-grid […]

Effect of the cosmological transition to metal-enriched star-formation on the hydrogen 21-cm signal

Kavli Affiliate: George Efstathiou | First 5 Authors: Mattis Magg, Itamar Reis, Anastasia Fialkov, Rennan Barkana, Ralf S. Klessen | Summary: Mapping Cosmic Dawn with 21-cm tomography offers an exciting new window into the era of primordial star formation. However, self-consistent implementation of both the process of star formation and the related 21-cm signal is […]
