First detection of polarization in X-rays for PSR B0540-69 and its nebula

Kavli Affiliate: Herman L. Marshall | First 5 Authors: Fei Xie, Josephine Wong, Fabio La Monaca, Roger W. Romani, Jeremy Heyl | Summary: We report on X-ray polarization measurements of the extra-galactic Crab-like PSR B0540-69 and its Pulsar Wind Nebula (PWN) in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), using a ~850 ks Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer […]

Convergence Tests of Self-Interacting Dark Matter Simulations

Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: Charlie Mace, Zhichao Carton Zeng, Annika H. G. Peter, Xiaolong Du, Shengqi Yang | Summary: Self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) theory predicts that dark matter halos experience core-collapse, a process where the halo’s inner region rapidly increases in density and decreases in size. The N-body simulations used to […]

Brightest Cluster Galaxy Offsets in Cold Dark Matter

Kavli Affiliate: Michael McDonald | First 5 Authors: Cian Roche, Michael McDonald, Josh Borrow, Mark Vogelsberger, Xuejian Shen | Summary: The distribution of offsets between the brightest cluster galaxies of galaxy clusters and the centroid of their dark matter distributions is a promising probe of the underlying dark matter physics. In particular, since this distribution […]

Polarization properties of the 128 non-repeating fast radio bursts from the first CHIME/FRB baseband catalog

Kavli Affiliate: Kiyoshi W. Masui | First 5 Authors: Ayush Pandhi, Ziggy Pleunis, Ryan Mckinven, B. M. Gaensler, Jianing Su | Summary: We present a 400-800 MHz polarimetric analysis of 128 non-repeating fast radio bursts (FRBs) from the first CHIME/FRB baseband catalog, increasing the total number of FRB sources with polarization properties by a factor […]
