WALLABY Pre-Pilot Survey: The effects of tidal interaction on radial distribution of color in galaxies of the Eridanus supergroup

Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Shun Wang, Jing Wang, Bi-Qing For, Bumhyun Lee, Tristan Reynolds | Summary: We study the tidal interaction of galaxies in the Eridanus supergroup, using HI data from the pre-pilot survey of WALLABY (Widefield ASKAP L-band Legacy All-sky Blind surveY). We obtain optical photometric measurements and quantify the […]

Evidence for A Hot Wind from High-resolution X-ray Spectroscopic Observation of the Low-luminosity Active Galactic Nucleus in NGC 7213

Kavli Affiliate: Feng Yuan | First 5 Authors: Fangzheng Shi, Bocheng Zhu, Zhiyuan Li, Feng Yuan, | Summary: Super-massive black holes (SMBHs) spend most of their lifetime accreting at a rate well below the Eddington limit, manifesting themselves as low-luminosity active galactic nuclei (LLAGNs). The prevalence of a hot wind from LLAGNs is a generic […]

Milli-Hertz Gravitational Wave Background Produced by Quasi-Periodic Eruptions

Kavli Affiliate: Xian Chen | First 5 Authors: Xian Chen, Yu Qiu, Shuo Li, F. K. Liu, | Summary: Extreme-mass-ratio inspirals (EMRIs) are important targets for future space-borne gravitational-wave (GW) detectors, such as the Laser Interferometer Sapce Antenna (LISA). Recent works suggest that EMRI may reside in a population of newly discovered X-ray transients called […]

The radio spectral turnover of radio-loud quasars at $z>5$

Kavli Affiliate: Ran Wang | First 5 Authors: Yali Shao, Jeff Wagg, Ran Wang, Emmanuel Momjian, Chris L. Carilli | Summary: We present Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) S- (2–4 GHz), C- (4–8 GHz), and X-band (8–12 GHz) continuum observations toward seven radio-loud quasars at $z>5$. This sample has previously been found to […]

Could TDE outflows produce the PeV neutrino events?

Kavli Affiliate: Zhuo Li | First 5 Authors: Han-Ji Wu, Guo-Bin Mou, Kai Wang, Wei Wang, Zhuo Li | Summary: The origin of ultra-high energy neutrinos still lacks observational evidence, besides, the physical mechanism is also unclear. There is an association of a PeV neutrino event (IceCube-191001A) with an optical tidal disruption event (TDE, AT2019dsg) […]

AutoDrop: Training Deep Learning Models with Automatic Learning Rate Drop

Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Yunfei Teng, Jing Wang, Anna Choromanska, , | Summary: Modern deep learning (DL) architectures are trained using variants of the SGD algorithm that is run with a $textit{manually}$ defined learning rate schedule, i.e., the learning rate is dropped at the pre-defined epochs, typically when the training loss […]

Detection of a Parsec-Scale Jet in a Radio-Quiet Narrow-Line Seyfert 1 Galaxy with Highly Accreting Supermassive Black Hole

Kavli Affiliate: Ran Wang | First 5 Authors: Su Yao, Xiaolong Yang, Minfeng Gu, Tao An, Jun Yang | Summary: The jet in active galactic nuclei (AGN) is a key ingredient in understanding the co-evolution of galaxies and their central supermassive black holes (SMBHs). Unfortunately, the mechanism of jet launching and collimation is still elusive. […]

Evidence for the connection between star formation rate and evolutionary phases of quasars

Kavli Affiliate: Luis C. Ho | First 5 Authors: Zhifu Chen, Zhicheng He, Luis C. Ho, Qiusheng Gu, Tinggui Wang | Summary: Both theory and observations suggest that outflows driven by an active central supermassive black hole (SMBH) has a feedback effect on shaping the global properties of the host galaxy. However, whether feedback from […]
