Cosmological Simulations of Stellar Halos with Gaia Sausage-Enceladus Analogues: Two Sausages, One Bun?

Kavli Affiliate: Lina Necib | First 5 Authors: Dylan Folsom, Mariangela Lisanti, Lina Necib, Danny Horta, Mark Vogelsberger | Summary: Observations of the Milky Way’s stellar halo find that it is predominantly comprised of a radially-biased population of stars, dubbed the Gaia Sausage–Enceladus, or GSE. These stars are thought to be debris from dwarf galaxy […]

Diverse dark matter haloes in Two-field Fuzzy Dark Matter

Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: Hoang Nhan Luu, Philip Mocz, Mark Vogelsberger, Alvaro Pozo, Tom Broadhurst | Summary: Fuzzy dark matter (FDM) is a compelling candidate for dark matter, offering a natural explanation for the structure of diffuse low-mass haloes. However, the canonical FDM model with a mass of $10^{-22}~{rm eV}$ encounters […]

An Earth-sized Planet on the Verge of Tidal Disruption

Kavli Affiliate: Roland Vanderspek | First 5 Authors: Fei Dai, Andrew W. Howard, Samuel Halverson, Jaume Orell-Miquel, Enric Palle | Summary: TOI-6255~b (GJ 4256) is an Earth-sized planet (1.079$pm0.065$ $R_oplus$) with an orbital period of only 5.7 hours. With the newly commissioned Keck Planet Finder (KPF) and CARMENES spectrographs, we determined the planet’s mass to […]
