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, […]

First measurement of $R(X_{τ/ell})$ as an inclusive test of the $b to c τν$ anomaly

Kavli Affiliate: T. Higuchi | First 5 Authors: Belle II Collaboration, I. Adachi, K. Adamczyk, L. Aggarwal, H. Ahmed | Summary: We measure the tau-to-light-lepton ratio of inclusive $B$-meson branching fractions $R(X_{tau/ell}) equiv mathcal{B}(Bto X tau nu)/mathcal{B}(B to X ell nu)$, where $ell$ indicates an electron or muon, and thereby test the universality of charged-current […]

Numerical integrator for highly oscillatory differential equations based on the Neumann series

Kavli Affiliate: Grzegorz Madejski | First 5 Authors: Rafał Perczyński, Grzegorz Madejski, , , | Summary: We propose a third-order numerical integrator based on the Neumann series and the Filon quadrature, designed mainly for highly oscillatory partial differential equations. The method can be applied to equations that exhibit small or moderate oscillations; however, counter-intuitively, large […]
