Kavli Affiliate: Salvatore Vitale | First 5 Authors: Jack Heinzel, Matthew Mould, Salvatore Vitale, , | Summary: Formation channels of merging compact binaries imprint themselves on the distributions and correlations of their source parameters. But current understanding of this population observed in gravitational waves is hindered by simplified parametric models. We overcome these limitations using […]

Kavli Affiliate: Salvatore Vitale | First 5 Authors: Jack Heinzel, Matthew Mould, Sofía Álvarez-López, Salvatore Vitale, | Summary: The origins of merging compact binaries observed by gravitational-wave detectors remains highly uncertain. Several astrophysical channels may contribute to the overall merger rate, with distinct formation processes imprinted on the structure and correlations in the underlying distributions […]

Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: Xuejian Shen, Mark Vogelsberger, Michael Boylan-Kolchin, Sandro Tacchella, Rohan P. Naidu | Summary: JWST has revealed a large population of ultra-violet (UV)-bright galaxies at $zgtrsim 10$ and possibly overly massive galaxies at $zgtrsim 7$, challenging standard galaxy formation models in the $Lambda$CDM cosmology. We use an empirical […]

Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: Aklant K Bhowmick, Laura Blecha, Paul Torrey, Rachel S Somerville, Luke Zoltan Kelley | Summary: JWST has recently revealed a large population of accreting black holes (BHs) in the early Universe. Even after accounting for possible systematic biases, the high-z $M_*-M_{rm rm bh}$ relation derived from these […]
