Dynamical friction in self-interacting ultralight dark matter

Kavli Affiliate: Risa H. Wechsler | First 5 Authors: Noah Glennon, Nathan Musoke, Ethan O. Nadler, Chanda Prescod-Weinstein, Risa H. Wechsler | Summary: We explore how dynamical friction in an ultralight dark matter (ULDM) background is affected by dark matter self-interactions. We calculate the force of dynamical friction on a point mass moving through a […]

The JWST Early Release Science Program for Direct Observations of Exoplanetary Systems V: Do Self-Consistent Atmospheric Models Represent JWST Spectra? A Showcase With VHS 1256 b

Kavli Affiliate: Bruce Macintosh | First 5 Authors: Simon Petrus, Niall Whiteford, Polychronis Patapis, Beth A. Biller, Andrew Skemer | Summary: The unprecedented medium-resolution (R=1500-3500) near- and mid-infrared (1-18um) spectrum provided by JWST for the young (120-160Myr) low-mass (12-20MJup) L-T transition (L7) companion VHS1256b has opened new avenues for the in-depth characterization of substellar object […]

Kavli Affiliate: Bruce Macintosh | First 5 Authors: Simon Petrus, Niall Whiteford, Polychronis Patapis, Beth A. Biller, Andrew Skemer | Summary: The unprecedented medium-resolution (R~1500-3500) near- and mid-infrared (1-18um) spectrum provided by JWST for the young (140+/-20Myr) low-mass (12-20MJup) L-T transition (L7) companion VHS1256b gives access to a catalogue of molecular absorptions. In this study, […]

Mitigation of the Brighter-Fatter Effect in the LSST Camera

Kavli Affiliate: Stuart Marshall | First 5 Authors: Alex Broughton, Yousuke Utsumi, Andrés Plazas Malagón, Christopher Waters, Craig Lage | Summary: Thick, fully depleted charge-coupled devices (CCDs) are known to exhibit non-linear behavior at high signal levels due to the dynamic behavior of charges collecting in the potential wells of pixels, called the brighter-fatter effect […]

Searching for the Highest-z Dual AGN in the Deepest Chandra Surveys

Kavli Affiliate: Steven W. Allen | First 5 Authors: Brandon Sandoval, Adi Foord, Steven W. Allen, Marta Volonteri, Aaron Stemo | Summary: We present an analysis searching for dual AGN among 62 high-redshift ($2.5 < z < 3.5$) X-ray sources selected from publicly available deep Chandra fields. We aim to quantify the frequency of dual […]
