An Analytic, Fully Relativistic Framework for Tidal Disruption Event Streams in Schwarzschild Geometry
Alexander J. Dittmann
We present an analytic and fully relativistic framework for studying the self-intersection of tidal disruption event (TDE) streams, restricting ourselves to the Schwarzschild space…
Molecular Gas Properties and CO-to-H2 Conversion Factors in the Central Kiloparsec of NGC 3351
Yu-Hsuan Teng, Karin M. Sandstrom, Jiayi Sun +16
The CO-to-H conversion factor ($α_\rm{CO}$) is critical to studying molecular gas and star formation in galaxies. The value of $α_\rm{CO}$ has been found to vary within and bet…
Microlensing Events in the Galactic Plane Using the Zwicky Transient Facility
Antonio C. Rodriguez, Przemek Mróz, Shrinivas R. Kulkarni +9
Microlensing is a powerful technique to study the Galactic population of "dark" objects such as exoplanets both bound and unbound, brown dwarfs, low-luminosity stars, old white dwa…
Exploring the Dust Content of Galactic Halos with Herschel. IV. NGC 3079
S. Veilleux, M. Melendez, M. Stone +11
We present the results from an analysis of deep Herschel far-infrared observations of the edge-on disk galaxy NGC 3079. The PSF-cleaned PACS images at 100 and 160 um display a 25 k…
Probing the circumnuclear environment of NGC1275 with High-Resolution X-ray spectroscopy
Christopher S. Reynolds, Robyn N. Smith, Andrew C. Fabian +6
NGC1275 is the Brightest Cluster Galaxy (BCG) in the Perseus cluster and hosts the active galactic nucleus (AGN) that is heating the central 100\,kpc of the intracluster medium (IC…
On the Terminal Spins of Accreting Stars and Planets: Boundary Layers
Alexander J. Dittmann
The origin of the spins of giant planets is an open question in astrophysics. As planets and stars accrete from discs, if the specific angular momentum accreted corresponds to that…
