EIGER VII. The evolving relationship between galaxies and the intergalactic medium in the final stages of reionization

Kavli Affiliate: Robert A. Simcoe | First 5 Authors: Daichi Kashino, Simon J. Lilly, Jorryt Matthee, Ruari Mackenzie, Anna-Christina Eilers | Summary: We present a comprehensive analysis of the relationship between galaxies and the intergalactic medium (IGM) during the late stages of cosmic reionization, based on the complete JWST EIGER dataset. Using deep NIRCam $3.5,mathrm{mu […]

Verification of the Timing System for the X-ray Imaging and Spectroscopy Mission in the GPS Unsynchronized Mode

Kavli Affiliate: Eric D. Miller | First 5 Authors: Megumi Shidatsu, Yukikatsu Terada, Takashi Kominato, So Kato, Ryohei Sato | Summary: We report the results from the ground and on-orbit verifications of the XRISM timing system when the satellite clock is not synchronized to the GPS time. In this case, the time is determined by […]

The Double Tidal Disruption Event AT 2022dbl Implies That at Least Some “Standard” Optical TDEs are Partial Disruptions

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Fausnaugh | First 5 Authors: Lydia Makrygianni, Iair Arcavi, Megan Newsome, Ananya Bandopadhyay, Eric R. Coughlin | Summary: Flares produced following the tidal disruption of stars by supermassive black holes can reveal the properties of the otherwise dormant majority of black holes and the physics of accretion. In the past decade, a […]
