Kavli Affiliate: Lina Necib | First 5 Authors: Adriana Dropulic, Nora Shipp, Stacy Kim, Zeineb Mezghanni, Lina Necib | Summary: In this work, we study how the abundance and dynamics of populations of disrupting satellite galaxies change systematically as a function of host galaxy properties. We apply a theoretical model of the phase-mixing process to […]

Kavli Affiliate: Norbert Schulz | First 5 Authors: Graciela Sanjurjo-Ferrín, Jose Miguel Torrejón, Lida Oskinova, Konstantin Postnov, Jose Joaquín Rodes-Roca | Summary: Cen X-3 is a compact, high-mass X-ray binary (HMXRB), likely powered by Roche lobe overflow. We present a phase-resolved X-ray spectral and timing analysis of a target of opportunity textit{Chandra} observation made during […]

Kavli Affiliate: Kiyoshi W. Masui | First 5 Authors: Adaeze L. Ibik, Maria R. Drout, Bryan M. Gaensler, Paul Scholz, Navin Sridhar | Summary: The identification of persistent radio sources (PRSs) coincident with two repeating fast radio bursts (FRBs) supports FRB theories requiring a compact central engine. However, deep non-detections in other cases highlight the […]

Kavli Affiliate: Kiyoshi W. Masui | First 5 Authors: Shion Andrew, Calvin Leung, Alexander Li, Kiyoshi W. Masui, Bridget C. Andersen | Summary: The Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment Fast Radio Burst (CHIME/FRB) Project has a new VLBI Outrigger at the Green Bank Observatory (GBO), which forms a 3300km baseline with CHIME operating at 400-800MHz. […]

Kavli Affiliate: David A. Principe | First 5 Authors: Aneta Siemiginowska, Douglas Burke, Hans Moritz Günther, Nicholas P. Lee, Warren McLaughlin | Summary: We present an overview of Sherpa, an open source Python project, and discuss its development history, broad design concepts and capabilities. Sherpa contains powerful tools for combining parametric models into complex expressions […]

Kavli Affiliate: Roland Vanderspek | First 5 Authors: Masafumi Niwano, Michael M. Fausnaugh, Ryan M. Lau, Kishalay De, Roberto Soria | Summary: The mechanism of X-ray outbursts in Be X-ray binaries remains a mystery, and understanding their circumstellar disks is crucial for a solution of the mass-transfer problem. In particular, it is important to identify […]
