The QPO in REJ1034+396 originates in the hot corona

Kavli Affiliate: Steven Allen | First 5 Authors: Chloe Taylor, Daniel Wilkins, Steven Allen, , | Summary: REJ1034+396 is one of the few active galactic nuclei with a significant quasi-periodic oscillation (QPO). The QPO has been observed in over 1 Ms of XMM-Newton observations spanning over a decade. We investigate the power spectral density function […]

The Roman View of Strong Gravitational Lenses

Kavli Affiliate: Risa H. Wechsler | First 5 Authors: Bryce Wedig, Tansu Daylan, Simon Birrer, Francis-Yan Cyr-Racine, Cora Dvorkin | Summary: Galaxy-galaxy strong gravitational lenses can constrain dark matter models and the Lambda Cold Dark Matter cosmological paradigm at sub-galactic scales. Currently, there is a dearth of images of these rare systems with high signal-to-noise […]

Revisiting Isocurvature Bounds on the Minimal QCD Axion

Kavli Affiliate: Peter W. Graham | First 5 Authors: Peter W. Graham, Davide Racco, , , | Summary: The QCD axion has important connections to early universe cosmology. For example, it is often said that isocurvature limits rule out a combination of high axion decay constant, $f_a$, and high inflationary Hubble scale, $H_I$. High scales […]

The Onset of Feedback in Abell 1885: Evidence for Large-Scale Quenching Despite a Young Central AGN

Kavli Affiliate: Michael McDonald | First 5 Authors: Laurel White, Michael McDonald, Francesco Ubertosi, Massimo Gaspari, Julie Hlavacek-Larrondo | Summary: We present a new 8.5 ks Chandra observation of Abell 1885, obtained as part of the Cluster Evolution Reference Ensemble At Low-z (CEREAL) survey of ~200 low-z galaxy groups and clusters. These data reveal that […]

The Pandora project. II: how non-thermal physics drives bursty star formation and temperate mass-loaded outflows in dwarf galaxies

Kavli Affiliate: Debora Sijacki | First 5 Authors: Sergio Martin-Alvarez, Debora Sijacki, Martin G. Haehnelt, Alice Concas, Yuxuan Yuan | Summary: Dwarf galaxies provide powerful laboratories for studying galaxy formation physics. Their early assembly, shallow gravitational potentials, and bursty, clustered star formation histories make them especially sensitive to the processes that regulate baryons through multi-phase […]
