On the rate of black hole binary mergers in galactic nuclei due to dynamical hardening

Nathan W. C. Leigh, Aaron M. Geller, B. McKernan +9

We assess the contribution of dynamical hardening by direct three-body scattering interactions to the rate of stellar-mass black hole binary (BHB) mergers in galactic nuclei. We de…

To the Galactic Virial Radius with Hyper Suprime-Cam

Alis J. Deason, Vasily Belokurov, Sergey E. Koposov

We exploit the exquisite, deep Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC) imaging data to probe the Galactic halo out to 200 kpc. Using the ~100 square degree, multi-band photometry of the first HSC…

Hierarchical Bayesian inference of the Initial Mass Function in Composite Stellar Populations

M. Dries, S. C. Trager, L. V. E. Koopmans +2

The initial mass function (IMF) is a key ingredient in many studies of galaxy formation and evolution. Although the IMF is often assumed to be universal, there is continuing eviden…

The temporal evolution of neutron-capture elements in the Galactic discs

Lorenzo Spina, Jorge Meléndez, Amanda I. Karakas +8

Important insights into the formation and evolution of the Galactic disc(s) are contained in the chemical compositions of stars. We analysed high-resolution and high signal to nois…

Stellar feedback strongly alters the amplification and morphology of galactic magnetic fields

Kung-Yi Su, Christopher C. Hayward, Philip F. Hopkins +3

Using high-resolution magnetohydrodynamic simulations of idealized, non-cosmological galaxies, we investigate how cooling, star formation, and stellar feedback affect galactic magn…

CANDELS: Elevated Black Hole Growth in the Progenitors of Compact Quiescent Galaxies at z~2

Dale D. Kocevski, Guillermo Barro, S. M. Faber +31

We examine the fraction of massive (), compact star-forming galaxies (cSFGs) that host an active galactic nucleus (AGN) at . These cSFGs are likely…
