Cygnus X-3 revealed as a Galactic ultraluminous X-ray source by IXPE

Kavli Affiliate: Herman L. Marshall | First 5 Authors: Alexandra Veledina, Fabio Muleri, Juri Poutanen, Jakub Podgorný, Michal Dovčiak | Summary: The accretion of matter by compact objects can be inhibited by radiation pressure if the luminosity exceeds the critical value, known as the Eddington limit. Discovery of ultraluminous X-ray sources has shown that accretion […]

Nucleosynthesis in outflows of compact objects and detection prospects of associated kilonovae

Kavli Affiliate: Shunsaku Horiuchi | First 5 Authors: Nick Ekanger, Mukul Bhattacharya, Shunsaku Horiuchi, , | Summary: We perform a comparative analysis of nucleosynthesis yields from binary neutron star (BNS) mergers, black hole-neutron star (BHNS) mergers, and core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe) with the goal of determining which are the most dominant sources of r-process enrichment observed […]

The Initial Mass Function and Other Stellar Properties Across the Core of the Hydra I Cluster

Kavli Affiliate: Wendy Freedman | First 5 Authors: Ilaria Lonoce, Wendy Freedman, Anja Feldmeier-Krause, , | Summary: The Hydra I cluster offers an excellent opportunity to study and compare the relic old stellar populations in the core of its two brightest galaxies. In addition, the differing kinematics of the two galaxies allows a test of […]

Wide-gap CdTe Strip Detectors for High-Resolution Imaging in Hard X-rays

Kavli Affiliate: Tadayuki Takahashi | First 5 Authors: Shunsaku Nagasawa, Takahiro Minami, Shin Watanabe, Tadayuki Takahashi, | Summary: We propose a new strip configuration for CdTe X-ray detectors, named "Wide-gap CdTe strip detector", in which the gap between adjacent strips is much wider than the width of each strip. It has been known that the […]

A recently quenched galaxy 700 million years after the Big Bang

Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: Tobias J. Looser, Francesco D’Eugenio, Roberto Maiolino, Joris Witstok, Lester Sandles | Summary: Local and low-redshift ($z$<$3$) galaxies are known to broadly follow a bimodal distribution: actively star forming galaxies with relatively stable star-formation rates, and passive systems. These two populations are connected by galaxies in relatively […]
