Nonlinearity and pixel shifting effects in HXRG infrared detectors
A. A. Plazas, C. Shapiro, R. Smith +2
We study the nonlinearity (NL) in the conversion from charge to voltage in infrared detectors (HXRG) for use in precision astronomy. We present laboratory measurements of the NL fu…
Euclid: Early Release Observations -- The formation of peanutty dwarf galaxies in Perseus
A. U. Kapoor, R. Smith, A. J. Zuiderwijk +133
Dwarf galaxies in dense cluster environments are susceptible to tidal interactions that can alter their morphology and kinematics. Boxy isophotes are well studied in massive galaxi…
Stellar-Mass Black Holes and Their Progenitors
J. M. Miller, P. Uttley, K. Nandra +14
If a black hole has a low spin value, it must double its mass to reach a high spin parameter. Although this is easily accomplished through mergers or accretion in the case of super…
A stringent upper limit on the direct 3 decay of the Hoyle State in C
R. Smith, M. Gai, M. W. Ahmed +4
We investigate an implication of the most recent observation of a second state in C, which was measured using the C(,)Be r…
The HI/OH/Recombination line survey of the inner Milky Way (THOR)
H. Beuther, S. Bihr, M. Rugel +27
Context: The past decade has witnessed a large number of Galactic plane surveys at angular resolutions below 20". However, no comparable high-resolution survey exists at long radio…
QUEST-DMC superfluid He detector for sub-GeV dark matter
S. Autti, A. Casey, N. Eng +22
The focus of dark matter searches to date has been on Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) in the GeV/-TeV/ mass range. The direct, indirect and collider searches…
