Pulsar-wind-nebula-powered Galactic center X-ray filament G0.13-0.11: Proof of the synchrotron nature by IXPE

Kavli Affiliate: Herman L. Marshall | First 5 Authors: Eugene Churazov, Ildar Khabibullin, Thibault Barnouin, Niccolò Bucciantini, Enrico Costa | Summary: We report the discovery of X-ray polarization from the X-ray-bright filament. G0.13-0.11 in the Galactic center (GC) region. This filament features a bright, hard X-ray source that is most plausibly a pulsar wind nebula […]

Interface-Induced Superconductivity in Magnetic Topological Insulator-Iron Chalcogenide Heterostructures

Kavli Affiliate: Ke Wang | First 5 Authors: Hemian Yi, Yi-Fan Zhao, Ying-Ting Chan, Jiaqi Cai, Ruobing Mei | Summary: When two different electronic materials are brought together, the resultant interface often shows unexpected quantum phenomena, including interfacial superconductivity and Fu-Kane topological superconductivity (TSC). Here, we use molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) to synthesize heterostructures formed […]

X-Ray Constraints on the Hot Gaseous Corona of Edge-on Late-type Galaxies in Virgo

Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Meicun Hou, Lin He, Zhensong Hu, Zhiyuan Li, Christine Jones | Summary: We present a systematic study of the putative hot gas corona around late-type galaxies (LTGs) residing in the Virgo cluster, based on archival Chandra observations. Our sample consists of 21 nearly edge-on galaxies representing a […]

Bayesian estimation of cross-coupling and reflection systematics in 21cm array visibility data

Kavli Affiliate: Jacqueline N. Hewitt | First 5 Authors: Geoff G. Murphy, Philip Bull, Mario G. Santos, Zara Abdurashidova, Tyrone Adams | Summary: Observations with radio arrays that target the 21-cm signal originating from the early Universe suffer from a variety of systematic effects. An important class of these are reflections and spurious couplings between […]

On the existence, rareness and uniqueness of quenched HI-rich galaxies in the local Universe

Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Xiao Li, Cheng Li, H. J. Mo, Jianhong Hu, Jing Wang | Summary: Using data from ALFALFA, xGASS, HI-MaNGA and SDSS, we identify a sample of 47 "red but HI-rich"(RR) galaxies with $NUV-r > 5$ and unusually high HI-to-stellar mass ratios. We compare the optical properties and […]

GA-NIFS: JWST discovers an offset AGN 740 million years after the Big Bang

Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: Hannah Übler, Roberto Maiolino, Pablo G. Pérez-González, Francesco D’Eugenio, Michele Perna | Summary: A surprising finding of recent studies is the large number of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) associated with moderately massive black holes ($rm log(M_bullet/M_odot)sim 6-8$), in the first billion years after the Big Bang ($z>5$).
