Population statistics of intermediate-mass black holes in dwarf galaxies using the NEWHORIZON simulation
(2023-08-30)
While it is well established that supermassive black holes (SMBHs) co-evolve with their host galaxy, it is currently less clear how lower mass black holes, so-called intermediate mass black holes (IMBHs), evolve within ...
Cosmic evolution of radio-AGN feedback: confronting models with data
(2023-08-30)
Radio-mode feedback is a key ingredient in galaxy formation and evolution models, required to reproduce the observed properties of massive galaxies in the local Universe. We study the cosmic evolution of radio-active ...
A variable active galactic nucleus at $z=2.06$ triply-imaged by the galaxy cluster MACS J0035.4-2015
(2023-07-31)
We report the discovery of a triply imaged active galactic nucleus (AGN), lensed by the galaxy cluster MACS J0035.4−2015 (z d = 0.352). The object is detected in Hubble Space Telescope imaging taken for the RELICS program. ...
Carbonaceous dust grains seen in the first billion years of cosmic time
(2023-07-19)
Large dust reservoirs (up to approximately 10 8 M ⊙) have been detected 1–3 in galaxies out to redshift z ≃ 8, when the age of the Universe was only about 600 Myr. Generating substantial amounts of dust within such a short ...
The ionising photon production efficiency at z~6 for Lyman-alpha emitters using JEMS and MUSE
(2023-06-15)
We study the ionising photon production efficiency at the end of the Epoch of Reionisation ($z \sim 5.4 - 6.6$) for a sample of 30 Lyman-$\alpha$ emitters. This is a crucial quantity to infer the ionising photon budget of ...
VICTORIA project: The LOFAR HBA Virgo Cluster Survey
(2023-06-02)
Context. The Virgo cluster is the nearest (d = 16.5 Mpc) massive (M ≥ 1014 M⊙) galaxy cluster and is therefore a prime target for studying astrophysical processes in dense large-scale environments. In the radio band, we ...
Identifying and characterizing ultracool dwarfs ejected from post-encounter disintegrating systems
(2023-06-01)
Disintegrating multiple systems have been previously discovered from kinematic studies of the $\it Hipparcos$ catalogue. They are presumably the result of dynamical encounters taking place in the Galactic disk between ...
VISIONS: The VISTA Star Formation Atlas
(2023-05-31)
VISIONS is an ESO public survey of five nearby (d < 500 pc) star-forming molecular cloud complexes that are canonically associated with the constellations of Chamaeleon, Corona Australis, Lupus, Ophiuchus, and Orion. The ...
The LOFAR Two-metre Sky Survey: the radio view of the cosmic star formation history
(2023-05-26)
We present a detailed study of the cosmic star formation history over $90$ per cent of cosmic time ($0\lesssim z\lesssim4$), using deep, radio continuum observations that probe star formation activity independent of dust. ...
The Andromeda Galaxy’s Last Major Merger: Constraints from the survey of Planetary Nebulae
(The International Astronomical Union, 2023-05-04)
The Andromeda galaxy (M 31) has experienced a tumultuous merger history as evidenced by the many substructures present in its inner halo. We use planetary nebulae (PNe) as chemodynamic tracers to shed light on the recent ...
