The Radio Spectral Energy Distribution and Star Formation Rate Calibration in Galaxies
F. S. Tabatabaei, E. Schinnerer, M. Krause +17
We study the spectral energy distribution (SED) of the radio continuum emission from the KINGFISH sample of nearby galaxies to understand the energetics and origin of this emission…
iPTF Discovery of the Rapid "Turn On" of a Luminous Quasar
S. Gezari, T. Hung, S. B. Cenko +13
We present a radio-quiet quasar at z=0.237 discovered "turning on" by the intermediate Palomar Transient Factory (iPTF). The transient, iPTF 16bco, was detected by iPTF in the nucl…
Molecular outflows in local ULIRGs: energetics from multi-transition OH analysis
E. González-Alfonso, J. Fischer, H. W. W. Spoon +11
We report on the energetics of molecular outflows in 14 local Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxies (ULIRGs) that show unambiguous outflow signatures (P-Cygni profiles or high-velocity a…
Gravitational waves from f-modes excited by the inspiral of highly eccentric neutron star binaries
Cecilia Chirenti, Roman Gold, M. Coleman Miller
As gravitational wave instrumentation becomes more sensitive, it is interesting to speculate about subtle effects that could be analyzed using upcoming generations of detectors. On…
Can tidal disruption events produce the IceCube neutrinos?
Lixin Dai, Ke Fang
Powerful jets and outflows generated in tidal disruption events (TDEs) around supermassive black holes have been suggested to be possible sites producing high-energy neutrinos, but…
Millimeter-Wave Line Ratios and Sub-beam Volume Density Distributions
Adam K. Leroy, Antonio Usero, Andreas Schruba +11
We explore the use of mm-wave emission line ratios to trace molecular gas density when observations integrate over a wide range of volume densities within a single telescope beam.…
Energetic constraints on electromagnetic signals from double black hole mergers
Lixin Dai, Jonathan C. McKinney, M. Coleman Miller
The possible Fermi detection of an electromagnetic counterpart to the double black hole merger GW150914 has inspired many theoretical models, some of which propose that the holes s…
Far-Ultraviolet to Near-Infrared Spectroscopy of A Nearby Hydrogen Poor Superluminous Supernova Gaia16apd
Lin Yan, R. Quimby, A. Gal-Yam +8
We report the first maximum-light far-Ultraviolet to near-infrared spectra (1000A - 1.62um, rest) of a H-poor superluminous supernova, Gaia16apd. At z=0.1018, it is one of the clos…
Parameter estimation for heavy binary-black holes with networks of second-generation gravitational-wave detectors
Salvatore Vitale, Ryan Lynch, Vivien Raymond +3
The era of gravitational-wave astronomy has started with the discovery of the binary black hole coalescences (BBH) GW150914 and GW151226 by the LIGO instruments. These systems allo…
The Highest-Energy Cosmic Rays Cannot be Dominantly Protons from Steady Sources
Ke Fang, Kumiko Kotera
The bulk of observed ultrahigh energy cosmic rays could be light or heavier elements, and originate from an either steady or transient population of sources. This leaves us with fo…
The Role of Host Galaxy for the Environmental Dependence of Active Nuclei in Local Galaxies
R. I. Davies, E. K. S. Hicks, P. Erwin +22
We discuss the environment of local hard X-ray selected active galaxies, with reference to two independent group catalogues. We find that the fraction of these AGN in S0 host galax…
After the Fall: Late-Time Spectroscopy of Type IIP Supernovae
Jeffrey M. Silverman, Stephanie Pickett, J. Craig Wheeler +11
Herein we analyse late-time (post-plateau; 103 < t < 1229 d) optical spectra of low-redshift (z < 0.016), hydrogen-rich Type IIP supernovae (SNe IIP). Our newly constructed sample…
BAT AGN Spectroscopic Survey-III. An observed link between AGN Eddington ratio and narrow emission line ratios
Kyuseok Oh, Kevin Schawinski, Michael Koss +14
We investigate the observed relationship between black hole mass (), bolometric luminosity (), and Eddington ratio () with optical emission li…
The Molecular Wind in the Nearest Seyfert Galaxy Circinus Revealed by ALMA
Laura K. Zschaechner, Fabian Walter, Alberto Bolatto +6
We present ALMA observations of the inner 1' (1.2 kpc) of the Circinus galaxy, the nearest Seyfert. We target CO (1-0) in the region associated with a well-known multiphase outflow…
Exploring Damped Lyman- System Host Galaxies using Gamma-ray Bursts
Vicki L. Toy, Antonino Cucchiara, Sylvain Veilleux +6
We present a sample of 45 Damped Lyman- system (DLA, \nhi\ ) counterparts (33 detections, 12 upper limits) which host gamma-ray bursts (GRB…
Double Compton and Cyclo-Synchrotron in Super-Eddington Disks, Magnetized Coronae, and Jets
Jonathan C. McKinney, Jens Chluba, Maciek Wielgus +2
We present an extension to the general relativistic radiation magnetohydrodynamic code HARMRAD to account for emission and absorption by thermal cyclo-synchrotron, double Compton,…
On the early-time excess emission in hydrogen-poor superluminous supernovae
Paul M. Vreeswijk, Giorgos Leloudas, Avishay Gal-Yam +27
We present the light curves of the hydrogen-poor superluminous supernovae (SLSNe-I) PTF12dam and iPTF13dcc, discovered by the (intermediate) Palomar Transient Factory. Both show ex…
Identifying Ultrahigh-Energy Cosmic-Ray Accelerators with Future Ultrahigh-Energy Neutrino Detectors
Ke Fang, Kumiko Kotera, M. Coleman Miller +2
The detection of ultrahigh-energy (UHE) neutrino sources would contribute significantly to solving the decades-old mystery of the origin of the highest-energy cosmic rays. We inves…
Effects of Spin on High-Energy Radiation from Accreting Black Holes
Michael O' Riordan, Asaf Pe'er, Jonathan C. McKinney
Observations of jets in X-ray binaries show a correlation between radio power and black hole spin. This correlation, if confirmed, points towards the idea that relativistic jets ma…
