A Population of Short-duration Gamma-ray Bursts with Dwarf Host Galaxies

Kavli Affiliate: Alexander P. Ji | First 5 Authors: Anya E. Nugent, Wen-fai Fong, Cristian Castrejon, Joel Leja, Michael Zevin | Summary: We present a population of 11 of the faintest ($> 25.5$ AB mag) short gamma-ray burst (GRB) host galaxies. We model their sparse available observations using the stellar population inference code Prospector-$beta$ and […]

Modeling molecular hydrogen in low metallicity galaxies

Kavli Affiliate: Nickolay Y. Gnedin | First 5 Authors: Ava Polzin, Andrey V. Kravtsov, Vadim A. Semenov, Nickolay Y. Gnedin, | Summary: We use a suite of hydrodynamics simulations of the interstellar medium (ISM) within a galactic disk, which include radiative transfer, a non-equilibrium model of molecular hydrogen, and a realistic model for star formation […]

Exploring the Dependence of Gas Cooling and Heating Functions on the Incident Radiation Field with Machine Learning

Kavli Affiliate: Nickolay Y. Gnedin | First 5 Authors: David Robinson, Camille Avestruz, Nickolay Y. Gnedin, , | Summary: Gas cooling and heating functions play a crucial role in galaxy formation. But, it is computationally expensive to exactly compute these functions in the presence of an incident radiation field. These computations can be greatly sped […]

Modelling Stochastic Star Formation History of Dwarf Galaxies in GRUMPY

Kavli Affiliate: Andrey Kravtsov | First 5 Authors: Yue Pan, Andrey Kravtsov, , , | Summary: We investigate the impact of bursty star formation on several galaxy scaling relations of dwarf galaxies using the $texttt{GRUMPY}$ galaxy formation model. While this model reproduces the star formation rate (SFR)-stellar mass, stellar mass-gas mass, and stellar mass-metallicity relations, […]

An end-to-end calibration of the Mini-EUSO detector in space

Kavli Affiliate: Angela Olinto | First 5 Authors: Hiroko Miyamoto, Matteo Battisti, Dario Barghini, Alexander Belov, Mario Bertaina | Summary: Mini-EUSO is a wide Field-of-View (FoV, 44$^{circ}$) telescope currently in operation from a nadia-facing UV-transparent window in the Russian Zvezda module on the International Space Station (ISS). It is the first detector of the JEM-EUSO […]

In-situ vs accreted Milky Way globular clusters: a new classification method and implications for cluster formation

Kavli Affiliate: Andrey Kravtsov | First 5 Authors: Vasily Belokurov, Andrey Kravtsov, , , | Summary: We present a new scheme for the classification of the in-situ and accreted globular clusters (GCs). The scheme uses total energy $E$ and $z$-component of the orbital angular momentum and is calibrated using [Al/Fe] abundance ratio. We demonstrate that […]
