Effect of the Large Magellanic Cloud on the kinematics of Milky Way satellites and virial mass estimate

Kavli Affiliate: Andrey Kravtsov | First 5 Authors: Andrey Kravtsov, Sophia Winney, , , | Summary: We present a study illustrating the effects of the passage of a Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) mass satellite on the distance and velocity distributions of satellites in $Lambda+$Cold Dark Matter simulations of Milky Way (MW) sized halos. In agreement […]

Stochastic star formation and the abundance of $z>10$ UV-bright galaxies

Kavli Affiliate: Andrey Kravtsov | First 5 Authors: Andrey Kravtsov, Vasily Belokurov, , , | Summary: We use a well-motivated galaxy formation framework to predict stellar masses, star formation rates (SFR), and ultraviolet (UV) luminosities of galaxy populations at redshifts $zin 5-16$, taking into account stochasticity of SFR in a controlled manner. We demonstrate that […]

Astrometric Redshifts of Supernovae

Kavli Affiliate: Richard Kessler | First 5 Authors: Jaemyoung, Lee, Masao Sako, Richard Kessler, Alex I. Malz | Summary: Differential Chromatic Refraction (DCR) is caused by the wavelength dependence of our atmosphere’s refractive index, which shifts the apparent positions of stars and galaxies and distorts their shapes depending on their spectral energy distributions (SEDs). While […]

LAMOST J1010+2358 is not a Pair-Instability Supernova Relic

Kavli Affiliate: Alexander P. Ji | First 5 Authors: Pierre N. Thibodeaux, Alexander P. Ji, William Cerny, Evan N. Kirby, Joshua D. Simon | Summary: The discovery of a star formed out of pair-instability supernova ejecta would have massive implications for the Population III star initial mass function and the existence of stars over 100 […]

Improved Thermal Resummation for Multi-Field Potentials

Kavli Affiliate: Marcela Carena | First 5 Authors: Henning Bahl, Marcela Carena, Aurora Ireland, Carlos E. M. Wagner, | Summary: The resummation of large thermal corrections to the effective potential is mandatory for the accurate prediction of phase transitions. We discuss the accuracy of different prescriptions to perform this resummation at the one- and two-loop […]
