More than just halo mass: Modelling how the red galaxy fraction depends on multiscale density in a HOD framework

Stefanie Phleps, David J. Wilman, Stefano Zibetti +1

The fraction of galaxies with red colours depends sensitively on environment, and on the way in which environment is measured. To distinguish competing theories for the quenching o…

Discovery of a new black hole transient within 100" (400 pc) of M31*

R. Barnard, M. R. Garcia, F. Primini +1

We identified a new X-ray transient CXOM31 004252.457+411631.17 (T13) in M31 during a 2013 June Chandra observation. This system is particularly exciting because it is located with…
