Anomalies in the gravitational recoil of eccentric black-hole mergers with unequal mass ratios

Kavli Affiliate: Ulrich Sperhake | First 5 Authors: Miren Radia, Ulrich Sperhake, Emanuele Berti, Robin Croft, | Summary: The radiation of linear momentum imparts a recoil (or "kick") to the center of mass of a merging black hole binary system. Recent numerical relativity calculations have shown that eccentricity can lead to an approximate 25% increase […]

The cosmology dependence of galaxy clustering and lensing from a hybrid $N$-body-perturbation theory model

Kavli Affiliate: Risa H. Wechsler | First 5 Authors: Nickolas Kokron, Joseph DeRose, Shi-Fan Chen, Martin White, Risa H. Wechsler | Summary: We implement a model for the two-point statistics of biased tracers that combines dark matter dynamics from $N$-body simulations with an analytic Lagrangian bias expansion. Using Aemulus, a suite of $N$-body simulations built […]

PSR J1810+1744: Companion Darkening and a Precise High Neutron Star Mass

Kavli Affiliate: Roger W. Romani | First 5 Authors: Roger W. Romani, D. Kandel, Alexei V. Filippenko, Thomas G. Brink, WeiKang Zheng | Summary: Keck-telescope spectrophotometry of the companion of PSR J1810+1744 shows a flat, but asymmetric light-curve maximum and a deep, narrow minimum. The maximum indicates strong gravity darkening near the L_1 point, along […]

The Parallax Zero-Point of Gaia Early Data Release 3 from LAMOST Primary Red Clump Stars

Kavli Affiliate: Huawei Zhang | First 5 Authors: Yang Huang, Haibo Yuan, Timothy C. Beers, Huawei Zhang, | Summary: We present an independent examination of the parallax zero-point of the Third Gaia Early Data Release (hereafter EDR3), using the LAMOST primary red clump (PRC) stellar sample. A median parallax offset of around $26 mu$as, slightly […]

Discovery of soft and hard X-ray time lags in low-mass AGNs

Kavli Affiliate: Daniel R. Wilkins | First 5 Authors: Labani Mallick, Daniel R. Wilkins, William N. Alston, Alex Markowitz, Barbara De Marco | Summary: The scaling relations between the black hole (BH) mass and soft lag properties for both active galactic nuclei (AGNs) and BH X-ray binaries (BHXRBs) suggest the same underlying physical mechanism at […]
