General Relativistic Shock Wave Solutions with Black Hole Formation: The Singular Isothermal Sphere Case

Chien-Ting J. Chen, Michael J. Cai, Fabio Pacucci

The rapid emergence at of ubiquitous populations of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) revealed by JWST and of quasars with estimated masses $M_\bullet > 10^{10} M_\odot…

JWST/NIRCam imaging of the Bipolar Planetary Nebula NGC 6537: the (Infra)red Spider, Revealed

Joel Kastner, Paula Moraga Baez, Bruce Balick +5

We present James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) near-infrared (NIRCam) Br, H, [Fe II], and PAH imaging of the molecule-rich, high-excitation bipolar planetary nebula (PN) NGC 6…

Galaxies in the Epoch of Reionization Are All Bark and No Bite -- Plenty of Ionizing Photons, Low Escape Fractions

Casey Papovich, Justin W. Cole, Weida Hu +27

Early results from JWST suggest that epoch-of-reionization (EoR) galaxies produce copious ionizing photons, which, if they escape efficiently, could cause reionization to occur too…

Development of the 220/270 GHz Receiver of BICEP Array

Keck Collaboration, Y. Nakato, P. A. R. Ade +82

Measurements of B-mode polarization in the CMB sourced from primordial gravitational waves would provide information on the energy scale of inflation and its potential form. To ach…

New Compact Object Binary Populations with Precision Astrometry (Roman White Paper)

P. Gandhi, C. Dashwood Brown, Y. Zhao +6

Compact object binaries (a black hole or a neutron star orbiting a non-degenerate stellar companion) are key to our understanding of late massive star evolution, in addition to bei…

Colour evolution of Betelgeuse and Antares over two millennia, derived from historical records, as a new constraint on mass and age

Ralph Neuhäuser, Guillermo Torres, Markus Mugrauer +4

After core hydrogen burning, massive stars evolve from blue-white dwarfs to red supergiants by expanding, brightening, and cooling within few millennia. We discuss a previously neg…
