Kavli Affiliate: Lina Necib | First 5 Authors: Francisco J. Mercado, Jorge Moreno, Robert Feldmann, Marckie Zeender, Jose A. Benavides Blanco | Summary: We utilize the cosmological volume simulation, FIREbox, to investigate how a galaxy’s environment influences its size and dark matter content. Our study focuses on approximately 1,200 galaxies (886 central and 332 satellite […]
Kavli Affiliate: Michael McDonald | First 5 Authors: Maria Sadikov, Julie Hlavacek-Larrondo, Laurence Perreault Levasseur, Carter Lee Rhea, Michael McDonald | Summary: We present an analysis of the X-ray properties of the galaxy cluster population in the z=0 snapshot of the IllustrisTNG simulations, utilizing machine learning techniques to perform clustering and regression tasks. We examine […]

Kavli Affiliate: Michael McDonald | First 5 Authors: Julie Hlavacek-Larrondo, Hyunseop Choi, Minghao Guo, Annabelle Richard-Laferrière, Carter Rhea | Summary: We present Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph observations from the Hubble Space Telescope of the supermassive black hole (SMBH) at the center of PKS0745-191, a brightest cluster galaxy (BCG) undergoing powerful radio-mode AGN feedback ($P_{rm cav}sim5times10^{45}$ […]
Kavli Affiliate: Dheeraj R. Pasham | First 5 Authors: Thomas Wevers, Muryel Guolo, Sean Lockwood, Andrew Mummery, Dheeraj R. Pasham | Summary: X-ray quasi-periodic eruptions (QPEs) are a novel mode of variability in nearby galactic nuclei whose origin remains unknown. Their multi-wavelength properties are poorly constrained, as studies have focused almost entirely on the X-ray […]

Kavli Affiliate: Erin Kara | First 5 Authors: Sibasish Laha, Eileen T. Meyer, Dev R. Sadaula, Ritesh Ghosh, Dhrubojyoti Sengupta | Summary: We present results from a high cadence multi-wavelength observational campaign of the enigmatic changing look AGN 1ES 1927+654 from May 2022- April 2024, coincident with an unprecedented radio flare (an increase in flux […]
Kavli Affiliate: Frank Wilczek | First 5 Authors: Maxim Chernodub, Frank Wilczek, , , | Summary: We argue that the rotation of a thin superconducting cylinder can increase the critical temperature of the superconducting phase transition substantially. The phenomenon can be interpreted as an effective negative moment of inertia associated with condensation of Cooper pairs. […]

Kavli Affiliate: Erin Kara | First 5 Authors: Megan Masterson, Erin Kara, Christos Panagiotou, William N. Alston, Joheen Chakraborty | Summary: Recent discoveries from time-domain surveys are defying our expectations for how matter accretes onto supermassive black holes (SMBHs). The increased rate of short-timescale, repetitive events around SMBHs, including the newly-discovered quasi-periodic eruptions (QPEs), are […]
