Active galactic nuclei feedback in an elliptical galaxy (III): the impacts and fate of cosmological inflow

Kavli Affiliate: Yingjie Peng | First 5 Authors: Bocheng Zhu, Feng Yuan, Suoqing Ji, Yingjie Peng, Luis C. Ho | Summary: The cosmological inflow of a galaxy is speculated to be able to enter the galaxy and enhance the star formation rate (SFR) and black hole accretion rate (BHAR). In this paper, by performing high-resolution […]

Angular correlations on causally-coherent inflationary horizons

Kavli Affiliate: Craig Hogan | First 5 Authors: Craig Hogan, Stephan S. Meyer, Nathaniel Selub, Frederick Wehlen, | Summary: We develop a model for correlations of cosmic microwave background anisotropy on the largest angular scales, based on standard causal geometrical relationships in slow-roll inflation. Unlike standard models based on quantized field modes, it describes perturbations […]

Prompt Detection of Fast Optical Bursts with the Vera C. Rubin Observatory

Kavli Affiliate: Steven M. Kahn | First 5 Authors: Guillem Megias Homar, Joshua E. Meyers, Steven M. Kahn, , | Summary: The transient optical sky has remained largely unexplored on very short timescales. While there have been some experiments searching for optical transients from minutes to years, none have had the capability to distinguish millisecond […]

First measurement of the nuclear-recoil ionization yield in silicon at 100 eV

Kavli Affiliate: D. B. Macfarlane | First 5 Authors: M. F. Albakry, I. Alkhatib, D. Alonso, D. W. P. Amaral, P. An | Summary: We measured the nuclear–recoil ionization yield in silicon with a cryogenic phonon-sensitive gram-scale detector. Neutrons from a mono-energetic beam scatter off of the silicon nuclei at angles corresponding to energy depositions […]

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 […]
