Progress in Direct Measurements of the Hubble Constant

Kavli Affiliate: Wendy L. Freedman | First 5 Authors: Wendy L. Freedman, Barry F. Madore, , , | Summary: One of the most exciting and pressing issues in cosmology today is the discrepancy between some measurements of the local Hubble constant and other values of the expansion rate inferred from the cosmic microwave background (CMB) […]

On the Comparison of AGN with GRMHD Simulations: II. M87

Kavli Affiliate: Roger Blandford | First 5 Authors: Richard Anantua, Angelo Ricarte, George Wong, Razieh Emami, Roger Blandford | Summary: Horizon-scale observations of the jetted active galactic nucleus M87 are compared with simulations spanning a broad range of dissipation mechanisms and plasma content in three-dimensional general relativistic flows around spinning black holes. Observations of synchrotron […]

Line profile of nuclear de-excitation gamma-ray emission from very hot plasma

Kavli Affiliate: Tadayuki Takahashi | First 5 Authors: Hiroki Yoneda, Felix Aharonian, Paolo Coppi, Thomas Siegert, Tadayuki Takahashi | Summary: De-excitation gamma-ray lines, produced by nuclei colliding with protons, provide information about astrophysical environments where particles have kinetic energies of $10-100$ MeV per nucleon. In general, such environments can be categorized into two types: the […]

Ambiguity, Invisibility, and Negativity

Kavli Affiliate: Frank Wilczek | First 5 Authors: Frank Wilczek, , , , | Summary: Many widely different problems have a common mathematical structure wherein limited knowledge lead to ambiguity that can be captured conveniently using a concept of invisibility that requires the introduction of negative values for quantities that are inherently positive. Here I […]

JADES: Resolving the Stellar Component and Filamentary Overdense Environment of HST-Dark Submillimeter Galaxy HDF850.1 at $z=5.18$

Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: Fengwu Sun, Jakob M. Helton, Eiichi Egami, Kevin N. Hainline, George H. Rieke | Summary: HDF850.1 is the brightest submillimeter galaxy (SMG) in the Hubble Deep Field. It is known as a heavily dust-obscured star-forming galaxy embedded in an overdense environment at $z = 5.18$. With nine-band […]

Gaia22dkvLb: A Microlensing Planet Potentially Accessible to Radial-Velocity Characterization

Kavli Affiliate: Subo Dong | First 5 Authors: Zexuan Wu, Subo Dong, Tuan Yi, Zhuokai Liu, Kareem El-Badry | Summary: We report discovering an exoplanet from following up a microlensing event alerted by Gaia. The event Gaia22dkv is toward a nearby disk source at ~2.5 kpc rather than the traditional bulge microlensing fields. Our primary […]
