ALMA Observations of Young Eruptive Stars: continuum disk sizes and molecular outflows

Kavli Affiliate: David A. Principe | First 5 Authors: Antonio S. Hales, Sebastián Pérez, Camilo Gonzalez-Ruilova, Lucas A. Cieza, Jonathan P. Williams | Summary: We present Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) 1.3 mm observations of four young, eruptive star-disk systems at 0.4" resolution: two FUors (V582 Aur and V900 Mon), one EXor (UZ Tau E) […]

Revealing the formation mechanism of the shell galaxy NGC474 with MUSE

Kavli Affiliate: Eric Peng | First 5 Authors: Jeremy Fensch, Pierre-Alain Duc, Sungsoon Lim, Éric Emsellem, Michal Bílek | Summary: Stellar shells around galaxies could provide precious insights into their assembly history. However, their formation mechanism remains poorly empirically constrained, in particular the type of galaxy collisions at their origin. We present MUSE@VLT data of […]

Illuminating Dark Matter Halo Density Profiles Without Subhaloes

Kavli Affiliate: Risa Wechsler | First 5 Authors: Catherine E. Fielder, Yao-Yuan Mao, Andrew R. Zentner, Jeffrey A. Newman, Hao-Yi Wu | Summary: Cold dark matter haloes consist of a relatively smooth dark matter component as well as a system of bound subhaloes. It is the prevailing practice to include all halo mass, including mass […]

Multi-defect Dynamics in Active Nematics

Kavli Affiliate: Boris I. Shraiman | First 5 Authors: Farzan Vafa, Mark J. Bowick, M. Cristina Marchetti, Boris I. Shraiman, | Summary: Recent experiments and numerical studies have drawn attention to the dynamics of active nematics. Two-dimensional active nematics flow spontaneously and exhibit spatiotemporal chaotic flows with proliferation of topological defects in the nematic texture. […]

On the Chemical Abundance of HR 8799 and the Planet c

Kavli Affiliate: Bruce Macintosh | First 5 Authors: Ji Wang, Jason Wang, Bo Ma, Jeffrey Chilcote, Steve Ertel | Summary: Comparing chemical abundances of a planet and the host star reveals the origin and formation path. Stellar abundance is measured with high-resolution spectroscopy. Planet abundance, on the other hand, is usually inferred from low-resolution data. […]
