Speed of sound in methane under conditions of planetary interiors

Kavli Affiliate: Peter Graham | First 5 Authors: Thomas G. White, Hannah Poole, Emma E. McBride, Matthew Oliver, Adrien Descamps | Summary: We present direct observations of acoustic waves in warm dense matter. We analyze wave-number- and energy-resolved x-ray spectra taken from warm dense methane created by laser heating a cryogenic liquid jet. X-ray diffraction […]

Constraints on Dark Matter from Dynamical Heating of Stars in Ultrafaint Dwarfs. Part 1: MACHOs and Primordial Black Holes

Kavli Affiliate: Peter W. Graham | First 5 Authors: Peter W. Graham, Harikrishnan Ramani, , , | Summary: We place limits on dark matter made up of compact objects significantly heavier than a solar mass, such as MACHOs or primordial black holes (PBHs). In galaxies, the gas of such objects is generally hotter than the […]

Black holes regulate cold gas accretion in massive galaxies

Kavli Affiliate: Luis C. Ho | First 5 Authors: Tao Wang, Ke Xu, Yuxuan Wu, Yong Shi, David Elbaz | Summary: Nearly every massive galaxy contains a supermassive black hole (BH) at its center. For decades, both theory and numerical simulations have indicated that BHs play a central role in regulating the growth and quenching […]

Coherent Self-Interactions of Dark Matter in the Bullet Cluster

Kavli Affiliate: Peter W. Graham | First 5 Authors: Zachary Bogorad, Peter W. Graham, Harikrishnan Ramani, , | Summary: Many models of dark matter include self-interactions beyond gravity. A variety of astrophysical observations have previously been used to place limits on the strength of such self-interactions. However, previous works have generally focused either on short-range […]

The galaxies missed by Hubble and ALMA: the contribution of extremely red galaxies to the cosmic census at 3<z<8

Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: Christina C. Williams, Stacey Alberts, Zhiyuan Ji, Kevin N. Hainline, Jianwei Lyu | Summary: Using deep JWST imaging from JADES, JEMS and SMILES, we characterize optically-faint and extremely red galaxies at $z>3$ that were previously missing from galaxy census estimates. The data indicate the existence of abundant, […]
