Dynamical time and Ashtekar variables for the Husain-Kuchař model

Kavli Affiliate: J. S. Villasenor | Summary:The relation between the Husain-Kuchař model and some extensions thereof that incorporate a dynamical time variable is explored. To this end, we rely on the geometric approach to the Hamiltonian dynamics of singular (constrained) systems provided by the Gotay-Nester-Hinds method (GNH). We also use recent results regarding the derivation […]

The Milky Way atlas for linear filaments II. clump rotation versus filament orientation

Kavli Affiliate: Ke Wang | First 5 Authors: Xuefang Xu, Ke Wang, Qian Gou, Tapas Baug, Di Li | Summary: Dense clumps distributed along filaments are the immediate medium for star formation. Kinematic properties of the clumps, such as velocity gradient and angular momentum, combined with filament orientation, provide important clues to the formation mechanism […]

K-Contact Distance for Noisy Nonhomogeneous Spatial Point Data with application to Repeating Fast Radio Burst sources

Kavli Affiliate: Kiyoshi W. Masui | First 5 Authors: A. M. Cook, Dayi Li, Gwendolyn M. Eadie, David C. Stenning, Paul Scholz | Summary: This paper introduces an approach to analyze nonhomogeneous Poisson processes (NHPP) observed with noise, focusing on previously unstudied second-order characteristics of the noisy process. Utilizing a hierarchical Bayesian model with noisy […]

K-Contact Distance for Noisy Nonhomogeneous Spatial Point Data with application to Repeating Fast Radio Burst sources

Kavli Affiliate: Kiyoshi Masui | Summary:This paper introduces an approach to analyze nonhomogeneous Poisson processes (NHPP) observed with noise, focusing on previously unstudied second-order characteristics of the noisy process. Utilizing a hierarchical Bayesian model with noisy data, we estimate hyperparameters governing a physically motivated NHPP intensity. Simulation studies demonstrate the reliability of this methodology in […]

Revealing EMRI/IMRI candidates with quasiperiodic ultrafast outflows

Kavli Affiliate: Dheeraj R. Pasham | First 5 Authors: Michal Zajaček, Petra Suková, Vladimír Karas, Dheeraj R. Pasham, Francesco Tombesi | Summary: The first detection of the quasiperiodic ultrafast outflow in the ASASSN-20qc system was reported by Pasham et al. (2024). The outflow is revealed in the soft X-ray spectra as an absorption feature, which […]

The outflow is revealed in the soft X-ray spectra as an absorption feature, which is enhanced periodically every $sim 8.3$ days. The repetitive nature of the ultrafast outflow is tentatively explained […]

The $R$-Process Alliance: Enrichment of $r$-process Elements in a Simulated Milky Way-like Galaxy

Kavli Affiliate: Anna Frebel | Summary:We study the formation of stars with varying amounts of heavy elements synthesized by the rapid neutron-capture process ($r$-process) based on our detailed cosmological zoom-in simulation of a Milky Way-like galaxy with an $N$-body/smoothed particle hydrodynamics code, ASURA. Most stars with no overabundance in $r$-process elements, as well as the […]
