TDCOSMO XVII. New time delays in 22 lensed quasars from optical monitoring with the ESO-VST 2.6m and MPG 2.2m telescopes

Kavli Affiliate: R. G. McMahon | First 5 Authors: , , , , | Summary: We present new time delays, the main ingredient of time delay cosmography, for 22 lensed quasars resulting from high-cadence r-band monitoring on the 2.6 m ESO VLT Survey Telescope and Max-Planck-Gesellschaft 2.2 m telescope. Each lensed quasar was typically monitored […]

Core collapse in resonant self-interacting dark matter across two decades in halo mass

Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: Vinh Tran, Vinh Tran, , , | Summary: Core collapse, a process associated with self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) models, can increase the central density of halos by orders of magnitude with observable consequences for dwarf galaxy properties and gravitational lensing. Resonances in the self-interaction cross section, features […]

QPanda3: A High-Performance Software-Hardware Collaborative Framework for Large-Scale Quantum-Classical Computing Integration

Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Tianrui Zou, Yuan Fang, Jing Wang, Menghan Dou, Jun Fu | Summary: In emerging quantum-classical integration applications, the classical time cost-especially from compilation and protocol-level communication often exceeds the execution time of quantum circuits themselves, posing a severe bottleneck to practical deployment. To overcome these limitations, QPanda3 […]

Nuclear Winds Drive Large-Scale Cold Gas Outflows in Quasars during the Reionization Epoch

Kavli Affiliate: Luis C. Ho | First 5 Authors: Yongda Zhu, Marcia J. Rieke, Luis C. Ho, Yang Sun, George H. Rieke | Summary: Accreting supermassive black holes (SMBHs) regulate the evolution of their host galaxies through powerful outflows and multi-phase feedback. This process plays a crucial role in shaping SMBH-galaxy co-evolution across cosmic time, […]

Evidence for Large-Scale Cold Gas Outflows Associated with Nuclear Winds in Reionization-Era Quasars

Kavli Affiliate: Luis C. Ho | First 5 Authors: Yongda Zhu, Yongda Zhu, , , | Summary: Accreting supermassive black holes (SMBHs) are thought to influence the evolution of their host galaxies through multi-phase feedback driven by powerful nuclear outflows. Although this mechanism is central to theoretical models of SMBH–galaxy co-evolution across cosmic time, direct […]
