Ultra-diffuse galaxies in the EAGLE simulation

Haonan Zheng, Shihong Liao, Liang Gao, Fangzhou Jiang, | Summary: [[{“value”:”We use the highest-resolution EAGLE simulation, Recal-L025N0752, to study the properties and formation of ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs). We identify 181 UDGs and find their properties closely match observations. The total masses of EAGLE UDGs range from ${sim}5times 10^{8}~M_{odot}$ to ${sim}2times 10^{11}~M_{odot}$, indicating that they are […]

Detecting Intermediate-mass Black Holes Using Quasar Microlensing

Kavli Affiliate: Luis C. Ho | First 5 Authors: Zihao Wu, Luis C. Ho, , , | Summary: Recent studies suggest that numerous intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) may wander undetected across the Universe, emitting little radiation. These IMBHs largely preserve their birth masses, offering critical insights into the formation of heavy black hole seeds and […]

The “Little Dark Dot”: Evidence for Self-Interacting Dark Matter in the Strong Lens SDSSJ0946+1006?

Shubo Li, Ran Li, Kaihao Wang, Zixiang Jia, Xiaoyue Cao | Summary: [[{“value”:”Previous studies, based on precise modeling of a gravitationally lensing image, have identified what may be a extremely compact, dark perturber in the well-known lensing system SDSSJ0946+1006 (the "Jackpot"). Its remarkable compactness challenges the standard cold dark matter (CDM) paradigm. In this paper, […]

Cross terms and monochromatic gravitational wave sources in our Galactic Centre

Kavli Affiliate: Pau Amaro Seoane | First 5 Authors: Pau Amaro Seoane, Josep V. Arnau, Màrius Josep Fullana i Alfonso, , | Summary: The gravitational capture of a small compact object by a supermassive black hole is one of the most intriguing sources of gravitational waves to be detected by space-borne observatories. Modeling gravitational waves […]

Massive Black Hole Seed Formation in Strong X-ray Environments at High Redshift

Kavli Affiliate: Kohei Inayoshi | First 5 Authors: Kazutaka Kimura, Kohei Inayoshi, Kazuyuki Omukai, , | Summary: Direct collapse of pristine gas in early galaxies is a promissing pathway for forming supermassive black holes (BHs) powering active galactic nuclei (AGNs) at the epoch of reionization (EoR). This seeding mechanism requires suppression of molecular hydrogen (H$_2$) […]

Cosmogenic Neutrino Point Source and KM3-230213A

Kavli Affiliate: Zhuo Li | First 5 Authors: Qinyuan Zhang, Tian-Qi Huang, Zhuo Li, , | Summary: Cosmogenic neutrinos (CNs) are produced by ultra-high energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) interacting with cosmic background radiation. We investigated the properties of CN point/extended sources, i.e, the neutrino spectrum, and angular profile as functions of time, by assuming that […]

Bumblebee cosmology: The FLRW solution and the CMB temperature anisotropy

Kavli Affiliate: Pau Amaro Seoane | First 5 Authors: Rui Xu, Dandan Xu, Lars Andersson, Pau Amaro Seoane, Lijing Shao | Summary: We put into test the idea of replacing dark energy by a vector field against the cosmic microwave background (CMB) observation using the simplest vector-tensor theory, where a massive vector field couples to […]

The X-ray statistical properties of dust-obscured galaxies detected by eROSITA

Kavli Affiliate: Kohei Inayoshi | First 5 Authors: Akatoki Noboriguchi, Kohei Ichikawa, Yoshiki Toba, Tom Dwelly, Kohei Inayoshi | Summary: Dust-obscured galaxies (DOGs) are considered to be in a co-evolution phase, with the associated active galactic nuclei (AGN) obscured by dust and gas. Although the DOGs are thought to harbor rapidly growing SMBHs, their X-ray […]
