The formation of cores in galaxies across cosmic time - the existence of cores is not in tension with the ΛCDM paradigm
(2024-02-01)
The 'core-cusp' problem is considered a key challenge to the ΛCDM paradigm. Haloes in dark matter only simulations exhibit 'cuspy' profiles, where density continuously increases towards the centre. However, the dark matter ...
Exploring the radio-loudness of SDSS quasars with spectral stacking
(2024-01-22)
We use new 144 MHz observations over 5634 deg 2 from the LOFAR (Low Frequency Array) Two-metre Sky Survey (LoTSS) to compile the largest sample of uniformly selected, spectroscopically confirmed quasars from the 14th data ...
JADES: Resolving the Stellar Component and Filamentary Overdense Environment of Hubble Space Telescope (HST)-dark Submillimeter Galaxy HDF850.1 at z = 5.18
(2024-01-20)
HDF850.1 is the brightest submillimeter galaxy (SMG) in the Hubble Deep Field. It is known as a heavily dust-obscured star-forming galaxy embedded in an overdense environment at z = 5.18. With nine-band NIRCam images at ...
The high energy X-ray probe (HEX-P): magnetars and other isolated neutron stars
(2024-01-09)
The hard X-ray emission from magnetars and other isolated neutron stars remains under-explored. An instrument with higher sensitivity to hard X-rays is critical to understanding the physics of neutron star magnetospheres ...
The High Energy X-ray Probe (HEX-P): probing accretion onto stellar mass black holes
(2024-01-08)
Accretion is a universal astrophysical process that plays a key role in cosmic history, from the epoch of reionization to galaxy and stellar formation and evolution. Accreting stellar-mass black holes in X-ray binaries are ...
The high energy X-ray probe (HEX-P): probing the physics of the X-ray corona in active galactic nuclei
(2024-01-05)
The hard X-ray emission in active galactic nuclei (AGN) and black hole X-ray binaries is thought to be produced by a hot cloud of electrons referred to as the corona. This emission, commonly described by a power law with ...
The impact of supernova feedback on the mass-metallicity relations
(2024-01-01)
Metallicity is a fundamental physical property that strongly constrains galaxy formation and evolution. The formation of stars in galaxies is suppressed by the energy released from supernova explosions and can be enhanced ...
Optimal metallicity diagnostics for MUSE observations of low-z galaxies
(2024-01-01)
The relatively red wavelength range (4800-9300 Å) of the VLT Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) limits which metallicity diagnostics can be used; in particular excluding those requiring the []λλ3726,29 doublet. We ...
BEAGLE-AGN I: simultaneous constraints on the properties of gas in star-forming and AGN narrow-line regions in galaxies
(2024-01-01)
We present the addition of nebular emission from the narrow-line regions (NLR) surrounding active galactic nuclei (AGNs) to beagle (BayEsian Analysis of GaLaxy sEds). Using a set of idealized spectra, we fit to a set of ...
Ultracool Spectroscopic Outliers in Gaia DR3
(2024-01-01)
Gaia DR3 provided a first release of RP spectra and astrophysical parameters for ultracool dwarfs (UCDs). We used these Gaia RP spectra and astrophysical parameters to select the most outlying UCDs. These objects have ...
