Ray-tracing simulations of the Soft X-ray Scattered Emission in obscured Active Galactic Nuclei

Kavli Affiliate: Claudio Ricci | First 5 Authors: Jeffrey McKaig, Claudio Ricci, Stéphane Paltani, K. K. Gupta, Nicholas P. Abel | Summary: Most Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) in the local Universe are obscured. In these obscured AGN an excess is usually observed in the soft X-rays below ~2 keV above the absorbed X-ray continuum. This […]

From Halos to Galaxies. VII. The Connections Between Stellar Mass Growth History, Quenching History and Halo Assembly History for Central Galaxies

Kavli Affiliate: Yingjie Peng | First 5 Authors: Cheqiu Lyu, Yingjie Peng, Yipeng Jing, Xiaohu Yang, Luis C. Ho | Summary: The assembly of galaxies over cosmic time is tightly connected to the assembly of their host dark matter halos. We investigate the stellar mass growth history and the chemical enrichment history of central galaxies […]

Low-energy Explosions in a Gravitational Field: Implications for Sub-energetic Supernovae and Fast X-ray Transients

Kavli Affiliate: Dheeraj R. Pasham | First 5 Authors: Daniel A. Paradiso, Eric R. Coughlin, Jonathan Zrake, Dheeraj R. Pasham, | Summary: Observations and theory suggest that core-collapse supernovae can span a range of explosion energies, and when sub-energetic, the shockwave initiating the explosion can decelerate to speeds comparable to the escape speed of the […]

Modeling molecular hydrogen in low metallicity galaxies

Kavli Affiliate: Nickolay Y. Gnedin | First 5 Authors: Ava Polzin, Andrey V. Kravtsov, Vadim A. Semenov, Nickolay Y. Gnedin, | Summary: We use a suite of hydrodynamics simulations of the interstellar medium (ISM) within a galactic disk, which include radiative transfer, a non-equilibrium model of molecular hydrogen, and a realistic model for star formation […]

Constraints on charged black holes from merger-ringdown signals in GWTC-3 and prospects for the Einstein Telescope

Kavli Affiliate: Lijing Shao | First 5 Authors: Hua-Peng Gu, Hai-Tian Wang, Lijing Shao, , | Summary: Whether astrophysical black holes (BHs) can have charge is a question to be addressed by observations. In the era of gravitational wave (GW) astronomy, one can constrain the charge of a merged BH remnant using the merger-ringdown signal […]

Till the core collapses: the evolution and properties of self-interacting dark matter subhalos

Zhichao Carton Zeng, Annika H. G. Peter, Xiaolong Du, Shengqi Yang, Andrew Benson | Summary: [[{“value”:”One of the hottest questions in the cosmology of self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) is whether scatterings can induce detectable core-collapse in halos by the present day. Because gravitational tides can accelerate core-collapse, the most promising targets to observe core-collapse are […]

JWST-TST High Contrast: Achieving direct spectroscopy of faint substellar companions next to bright stars with the NIRSpec IFU

Kavli Affiliate: Sara Seager | First 5 Authors: Jean-Baptiste Ruffio, Marshall D. Perrin, Kielan K. W. Hoch, Jens Kammerer, Quinn M. Konopacky | Summary: The JWST NIRSpec integral field unit (IFU) presents a unique opportunity to observe directly imaged exoplanets from 3-5um at moderate spectral resolution (R~2,700) and thereby better constrain the composition, disequilibrium chemistry, […]
