Demonstrating sub-electron noise performance in Single electron Sensitive Readout (SiSeRO) devices

Kavli Affiliate: Gregory Prigozhin | First 5 Authors: Tanmoy Chattopadhyay, Sven Herrmann, Peter Orel, Kevan Donlon, Steven W. Allen | Summary: Single electron Sensitive Read Out (SiSeRO) is a novel on-chip charge detection technology that can, in principle, provide significantly greater responsivity and improved noise performance than traditional charge coupled device (CCD) readout circuitry. The […]

Unveiling In-Situ Spheroid Formation in Distant, Submillimeter-Bright Galaxies

Kavli Affiliate: John D. Silverman | First 5 Authors: Qing-Hua Tan, Emanuele Daddi, Benjamin Magnelli, Camila A. Correa, Frédéric Bournaud | Summary: The majority of stars in today’s Universe reside within spheroids, which are bulges of spiral galaxies and elliptical galaxies. Their formation is still an unsolved problem. Infrared/submm-bright galaxies at high redshifts have long […]

Large dark matter content and steep metallicity profile predicted for Ultra-Diffuse Galaxies formed in high-spin halos

Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: José A. Benavides, Laura V. Sales, Mario. G. Abadi, Mark Vogelsberger, Federico Marinacci | Summary: We study the stellar properties of a sample of simulated ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs) with stellar mass $M_star=10^{7.5}$ – $10^{9} ~ rm{M_{odot}}$, selected from the TNG50 simulation, where UDGs form mainly in high-spin […]
