Validation of a Third Planet in the LHS 1678 System

Kavli Affiliate: Roland Vanderspek | First 5 Authors: Michele L. Silverstein, Thomas Barclay, Joshua E. Schlieder, Karen A. Collins, Richard P. Schwarz | Summary: The nearby LHS 1678 (TOI-696) system contains two confirmed planets and a wide-orbit, likely-brown-dwarf companion, which orbit an M2 dwarf with a unique evolutionary history. The host star occupies a narrow […]

An attractive model: simulating fuzzy dark matter with attractive self-interactions

Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: Connor A. Painter, Michael Boylan-Kolchin, Philip Mocz, Mark Vogelsberger, | Summary: Fuzzy Dark Matter (FDM) comprised of ultralight ($m sim 10^{-22}~rm{eV}$) boson particles has received significant attention as a viable alternative to Cold Dark Matter (CDM), as it approximates CDM on large scales ($gtrsim 1$ Mpc) while […]

AGN feedback in isolated galaxies with a SMUGGLE multiphase ISM

Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: Aneesh Sivasankaran, Laura Blecha, Paul Torrey, Luke Zoltan Kelley, Aklant Bhowmick | Summary: Feedback from active galactic nuclei (AGN) can strongly impact the host galaxies by driving high-velocity winds that impart substantial energy and momentum to the interstellar medium (ISM). In this work, we study the impact […]

Velocity Dispersions of Quiescent Galaxies in IllustirisTNG

Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: Jubee Sohn, Margaret J. Geller, Josh Borrow, Mark Vogelsberger, | Summary: We examine the central stellar velocity dispersion of subhalos based on IllustrisTNG cosmological hydrodynamic simulations. The central velocity dispersion is a fundamental observable that links galaxies with their dark matter subhalos. We carefully explore simulated stellar […]

Tensor Completion with BMD Factor Nuclear Norm Minimization

Kavli Affiliate: Eric Miller | First 5 Authors: Fan Tian, Mirjeta Pasha, Misha E. Kilmer, Eric Miller, Abani Patra | Summary: This paper is concerned with the problem of recovering third-order tensor data from limited samples. A recently proposed tensor decomposition (BMD) method has been shown to efficiently compress third-order spatiotemporal data. Using the BMD, […]

Observed epochal variations in X-ray lines from the O Supergiant $ζ$ Puppis do not require substantial changes in the wind mass flux

Kavli Affiliate: David P. Huenemoerder | First 5 Authors: Sean J. Gunderson, Kenneth G. Gayley, David P. Huenemoerder, Pragati Pradhan, Nathan A. Miller | Summary: We fit the high resolution textit{Chandra} X-ray spectra of the O supergiant $zeta$ Puppis using the variable boundary condition (VBC) line model to test the stability of its mass-loss rate […]
