Magnetically driven accretion disc winds: the role of gas thermodynamics and comparison to ultra-fast outflows

Kavli Affiliate: Feng Yuan | First 5 Authors: Weixiao Wang, De-Fu Bu, Feng Yuan, , | Summary: Winds are commonly observed in luminous active galactic nuclei (AGNs). A plausible model of those winds is magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) disc winds. In the case of disc winds from a thin accretion disc, isothermal or adiabatic assumption is usually […]

ATOMS: ALMA Three-millimeter Observations of Massive Star-forming regions — XI. From inflow to infall in hub-filament systems

Kavli Affiliate: Ke Wang | First 5 Authors: Jian-Wen Zhou, Tie Liu, Neal J. Evans II, Guido Garay, Paul F. Goldsmith | Summary: We investigate the presence of hub-filament systems in a large sample of 146 active proto-clusters, using H$^{13}$CO$^{+}$ J=1-0 molecular line data obtained from the ATOMS survey. We find that filaments are ubiquitous […]

Cold Gas Reservoirs of Low and High Mass Central Galaxies Differ in Response to AGN Feedback

Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Hong Guo, Michael G. Jones, Jing Wang, , | Summary: The growth of supermassive black holes, especially the associated state of active galactic nuclei (AGNs), is generally believed to be the key step in regulating star formation in massive galaxies. As the fuel of star formation, the […]

Binaries Wandering Around Supermassive Black Holes Due To Gravito-electromagnetism

Kavli Affiliate: Xian Chen | First 5 Authors: Xian Chen, Zhongfu Zhang, , , | Summary: Extreme-mass-ratio inspirals (EMRIs) are important sources for space-borne gravitational-wave (GW) detectors. Such a source normally consists of a stellar-mass black hole (BH) and a Kerr supermassive BH (SMBH), but recent astrophysical models predict that the small body could also […]

Direct ultrafast parametric amplification pumped by a picosecond thin-disk laser

Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Jing Wang, Peng Yuan, Dongfang Zhang, Guoqiang Xie, Kainan Xiong | Summary: Optical quadratic nonlinearity is ultrafast in nature, while parametric interaction usually manifests only the broadband characteristic. Enormous progress has been made toward broadband phase-matching for parametric amplification and wide applications. In existing devices of broadband […]

ET White Paper: To Find the First Earth 2.0

Kavli Affiliate: Subo Dong | First 5 Authors: Jian Ge, Hui Zhang, Weicheng Zang, Hongping Deng, Shude Mao | Summary: We propose to develop a wide-field and ultra-high-precision photometric survey mission, temporarily named "Earth 2.0 (ET)". This mission is designed to measure, for the first time, the occurrence rate and the orbital distributions of Earth-sized […]

Med-DANet: Dynamic Architecture Network for Efficient Medical Volumetric Segmentation

Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Wenxuan Wang, Chen Chen, Jing Wang, Sen Zha, Yan Zhang | Summary: For 3D medical image (e.g. CT and MRI) segmentation, the difficulty of segmenting each slice in a clinical case varies greatly. Previous research on volumetric medical image segmentation in a slice-by-slice manner conventionally use the […]

Finding Quasars behind the Galactic Plane. II. Spectroscopic Identifications of 204 Quasars at $|b|< 20°$

Kavli Affiliate: Linhua Jiang | First 5 Authors: Yuming Fu, Xue-Bing Wu, Linhua Jiang, Yanxia Zhang, Zhi-Ying Huo | Summary: Quasars behind the Galactic plane (GPQs) are important astrometric references and valuable probes of the Galactic gas, yet the search of GPQs is difficult due to severe extinction and source crowding in the Galactic plane. […]

Modeling the inner part of M87 jet: confronting jet morphology with theory

Kavli Affiliate: Feng Yuan | First 5 Authors: Hai Yang, Feng Yuan, Hui Li, Yosuke Mizuno, Fan Guo | Summary: The formation of jets in black hole accretion systems is a long-standing problem. It has been proposed that a jet can be formed by extracting the rotation energy of the black hole ("BZ-jet") or the […]
