Constraints on Non-Thermal Pressure at galaxy cluster outskirts from a Joint SPT and XMM-Newton Analysis

Posted by dbos MIT

Kavli Affiliate: Catherine E. Grant | First 5 Authors: Arnab Sarkar, Michael McDonald, Lindsey Bleem, Mark Bautz, Bradford A. Benson | Summary: We present joint South Pole Telescope (SPT) and XMM-Newton observations of 8 massive galaxy clusters (0.8–1.7$times$10$^{15}$ M$_{odot}$) spanning a redshift range of 0.16 to 0.35. Employing a novel SZ+X-ray fitting technique, we effectively […]

Massive Black Holes Seeded by Dark Matter — Implications for Little Red Dots and Gravitational Wave Signatures

Posted by klaurent Peking

Tingwei Shen, Xuejian Shen, Huangyu Xiao, Mark Vogelsberger, Fangzhou Jiang | Summary: [[{“value”:”Observations of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) at high redshifts challenge standard seeding scenarios. We examine a dissipative self-interacting dark matter (dSIDM) model in which gravothermal collapse leads to the formation of massive BH seeds ab initio. We utilize a semi-analytical framework to predict […]

High Energy Emission from the Intrabinary Shocks in Redback Pulsars

Posted by klaurent Stanford

Kavli Affiliate: Roger W. Romani | First 5 Authors: Andrew G. Sullivan, Roger W. Romani, , , | Summary: The intrabinary shocks (IBS) of spider pulsars emit non-thermal synchrotron X-rays from accelerated electrons and positrons in the shocked pulsar wind, likely energized by magnetic reconnection. In redback spider pulsars, the IBS typically wraps around the […]

Universality of Rényi Entropy in Conformal Field Theory

Kavli Affiliate: Hirosi Ooguri | First 5 Authors: Yuya Kusuki, Hirosi Ooguri, Sridip Pal, , | Summary: We use the thermal effective theory to prove that, for the vacuum state in any conformal field theory in $d$ dimensions, the $n$-th R’enyi entropy $S_A^{(n)}$ behaves as $S_A^{(n)} = frac{f}{(2pi n)^{d-1}} frac{ {rm Area}(partial A)}{(d-2)epsilon^{d-2}}left(1+O(n)right)$ in the […]

Narrow-Line Seyfert 1 Galaxies Beyond the Local X-ray Universe: An X-ray spectral sample

Posted by klaurent Cambridge

Kavli Affiliate: R. G. McMahon | First 5 Authors: Jiachen Jiang, Dominic J. Walton, Luigi C. Gallo, Andrew C. Fabian, Dirk Grupe | Summary: Narrow-line Seyfert 1 AGNs (NLS1s) represent a unique stage in the black hole growth history, characterised by low black hole masses of approximately $10^{6}$-$10^{8}$ solar masses and around-Eddington accretion rates. X-ray […]
