Constraining the origin of the nanohertz gravitational-wave background by pulsar timing array observations of both the background and individual supermassive binary black holes

Kavli Affiliate: Qingjuan Yu | First 5 Authors: Yunfeng Chen, Qingjuan Yu, Youjun Lu, , | Summary: The gravitational waves (GWs) from supermassive binary black holes (BBHs) are long sought by pulsar timing array experiments (PTAs), in the forms of both a stochastic GW background (GWB) and individual sources. The evidence for a GWB was […]

The kinematic bimodality: Efficient feedback and cold gas deficiency in slow-rotating galaxies

Kavli Affiliate: Yingjie Peng | First 5 Authors: Bitao Wang, Yingjie Peng, , , | Summary: The bimodality in the stellar spin of low redshift (massive) galaxies, ubiquitously existing at all star formation levels and in diverse environment, suggests that galaxies grow and quench through two diverged evolutionary pathways. For spheroid-dominated galaxies of slow stellar […]
