ATOMS: ALMA Three-millimeter Observations of Massive Star-forming regions — XI. From inflow to infall in hub-filament systems

Kavli Affiliate: Ke Wang | First 5 Authors: Jian-Wen Zhou, Tie Liu, Neal J. Evans II, Guido Garay, Paul F. Goldsmith | Summary: We investigate the presence of hub-filament systems in a large sample of 146 active proto-clusters, using H$^{13}$CO$^{+}$ J=1-0 molecular line data obtained from the ATOMS survey. We find that filaments are ubiquitous […]

The Atari Disk, a Metal-Poor Stellar Population in the Disk System of the Milky Way

Kavli Affiliate: Anna Frebel | First 5 Authors: Mohammad K. Mardini, Anna Frebel, Anirudh Chiti, Yohai Meiron, Kaley V. Brauer | Summary: We have developed a chemo-dynamical approach to assign 36,010 metal-poor SkyMapper stars to various Galactic stellar populations. Using two independent techniques (velocity and action space behavior), $Gaia$ EDR3 astrometry, and photometric metallicities, we […]

Cold Gas Reservoirs of Low and High Mass Central Galaxies Differ in Response to AGN Feedback

Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Hong Guo, Michael G. Jones, Jing Wang, , | Summary: The growth of supermassive black holes, especially the associated state of active galactic nuclei (AGNs), is generally believed to be the key step in regulating star formation in massive galaxies. As the fuel of star formation, the […]

Binaries Wandering Around Supermassive Black Holes Due To Gravito-electromagnetism

Kavli Affiliate: Xian Chen | First 5 Authors: Xian Chen, Zhongfu Zhang, , , | Summary: Extreme-mass-ratio inspirals (EMRIs) are important sources for space-borne gravitational-wave (GW) detectors. Such a source normally consists of a stellar-mass black hole (BH) and a Kerr supermassive BH (SMBH), but recent astrophysical models predict that the small body could also […]

Conformally-rescaled Schwarzschild metrics do not predict flat galaxy rotation curves

Kavli Affiliate: Anthony Lasenby | First 5 Authors: Michael Hobson, Anthony Lasenby, , , | Summary: For conformally invariant gravity theories defined on Riemannian spacetime and having the Schwarzschild–de-Sitter (SdS) metric as a solution in the Einstein gauge, we consider whether one may conformally rescale this solution to obtain flat rotation curves, such as those […]
