Age-dating early quiescent galaxies: high star-formation efficiency, but consistent with direct, higher-redshift observations

Posted by dbos October 7, 2024October 21, 2024Cambridge

Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: Crispin Turner, Sandro Tacchella, Francesco D’Eugenio, Stefano Carniani, Mirko Curti | Summary: We present a detailed analysis of JWST/NIRSpec and NIRCam observations of ZF-UDS-7329, a massive, quiescent galaxy at redshift $z=3.2$, which has been put forward to challenge cosmology and galaxy formation physics. Our study extends previous […]

Tomographic constraint on anisotropic cosmic birefringence

Posted by dbos October 7, 2024October 21, 2024Tokyo

Kavli Affiliate: Toshiya Namikawa | First 5 Authors: Toshiya Namikawa, , , , | Summary: We for the first time constrain anisotropic cosmic birefringence generated at reionization using Planck PR4 polarization data. Several recent analyses of WMAP and Planck polarization data have found a tantalizing hint of isotropic cosmic birefringence. Ongoing and future CMB experiments […]

Classification of radio backgrounds at cosmic dawn and 21-cm signal confirmation using neural networks

Posted by dbos October 7, 2024Cambridge

Kavli Affiliate: George Efstathiou | First 5 Authors: Sudipta Sikder, Anastasia Fialkov, Rennan Barkana, , | Summary: Several ongoing and upcoming radio telescopes aim to detect either the global 21-cm signal or the 21-cm power spectrum. The extragalactic radio background, as detected by ARCADE-2 and LWA-1, suggests a strong radio background from cosmic dawn, which […]

LHAASO detection of very-high-energy gamma-ray emission surrounding PSR J0248+6021

Posted by dbos October 6, 2024Peking

Kavli Affiliate: Li Xin Li | First 5 Authors: Zhen Cao, F. Aharonian, Q. An, Axikegu, Y. X. Bai | Summary: We report the detection of an extended very-high-energy (VHE) gamma-ray source coincident with the locations of middle-aged (62.4~rm kyr) pulsar PSR J0248+6021, by using the LHAASO-WCDA data of live 796 days and LHAASO-KM2A data […]

Gravitational Particle Production of Scalars: Analytic and Numerical Approaches Including Early Reheating

Posted by October 4, 2024Chicago

Kavli Affiliate: Edward W. Kolb | First 5 Authors: Leah Jenks, Edward W. Kolb, Keyer Thyme, , | Summary: Cosmological gravitational particle production (GPP) is a generic mechanism by which particles are produced during the inflationary epoch. In this work we consider the GPP of massive scalars in an effort to fully understand the spectrum […]

Connecting Lyman-$α$ and ionizing photon escape in the Sunburst Arc

Posted by dbos Chicago

Kavli Affiliate: Michael D. Gladders | First 5 Authors: M. Riley Owens, Keunho J. Kim, Matthew B. Bayliss, T. Emil Rivera-Thorsen, Keren Sharon | Summary: We investigate the Lyman-$alpha$ (Ly$alpha$) and Lyman continuum (LyC) properties of the Sunburst Arc, a $z=2.37$ gravitationally lensed galaxy with a multiply-imaged, compact region leaking LyC and a triple-peaked Ly$alpha$ […]

A long-duration superflare on the K giant HD 251108

Posted by klaurent October 4, 2024MIT

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Fausnaugh | First 5 Authors: Hans Moritz Günther, Dheeraj Pasham, Alexander Binks, Stefan Czesla, Teruaki Enoto | Summary: Many giant stars are magnetically active, which causes rotational variability, chromospheric emission lines, and X-ray emission. Large outbursts in these emission features can set limits on the magnetic field strength and thus constrain the […]
