On the universality of star formation efficiency in galaxies

Kavli Affiliate: Nickolay Y. Gnedin | First 5 Authors: Ava Polzin, Andrey V. Kravtsov, Vadim A. Semenov, Nickolay Y. Gnedin, | Summary: We analyze high-resolution hydrodynamics simulations of an isolated disk dwarf galaxy with an explicit model for unresolved turbulence and turbulence-based star formation prescription. We examine the characteristic values of the star formation efficiency […]

Little Red Dots: Rapidly Growing Black Holes Reddened by Extended Dusty Flows

Kavli Affiliate: Luis C. Ho | First 5 Authors: Zhengrong Li, Kohei Inayoshi, Kejian Chen, Kohei Ichikawa, Luis C. Ho | Summary: The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) observations have revolutionized extragalactic research, particularly with the discovery of little red dots (LRD), which we propose are dust-reddened broad-line active galactic nuclei (AGNs). Their unique v-shape […]

PKS 2131-021 — Discovery of Strong Coherent Sinusoidal Variations from Radio to Optical Frequencies: Compelling Evidence for a Blazar Supermassive Black Hole Binary

Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: Sebastian Kiehlmann, Philipe Vergara De La Parra, Andrew Sullivan, A. Synani, Ioannis Liodakis | Summary: Haystack and Owens Valley Radio Observatory (OVRO) observations recently revealed strong sinusoidal total flux density variations that maintained coherence between 1975 and 2021 in the blazar PKS 2131-021 ($z=1.283)$. This was interpreted […]
