The effect of heat conduction on the interaction of disk and corona around black holes
E. Meyer-Hofmeister, F. Meyer
Heat conduction plays an important role in the balance between heating and cooling in many astrophysical objects, e.g. cooling flows in clusters of galaxies. Here we investigate th…
Hot and Cooled baryons in SPH simulations of galaxy clusters: physics and numerics
S. Borgani, K. Dolag, G. Murante +7
We discuss an extended set of Tree+SPH simulations of galaxy clusters, with the goal of investigating the interplay between numerical resolution effects and star-formation/feedback…
Neutron-loaded outflows in gamma-ray bursts
Elena M. Rossi, Andrei M. Beloborodov, Martin J. Rees
Relativistic neutron-loaded outflows in gamma-ray bursts are studied at their early stages, before deceleration by a surrounding medium. The outflow has four components: radiation,…
The Fundamental Scaling Relations of Elliptical Galaxies
B. Robertson, T. J. Cox, L. Hernquist +4
(ABRIDGED) We examine the fundamental scaling relations of elliptical galaxies formed through mergers. Using hundreds of simulations to judge the impact of progenitor galaxy proper…
On the Viability of Bianchi Type VIIh Models with Dark Energy
T. R. Jaffe, S. Hervik, A. J. Banday +1
We generalize the predictions for the CMB anisotropy patterns arising in Bianchi type VIIh universes to include a dark energy component. We consider these models in light of the re…
The evolution of the star formation activity in galaxies and its dependence on environment
B. M. Poggianti, A. von der Linden, G. De Lucia +16
We study how the proportion of star-forming galaxies evolves between z=0.8 and z=0 as a function of galaxy environment, using the [OII] line in emission as a signature of ongoing s…
Lyman-alpha forest-CMB cross-correlation and the search for the ionized baryons at high redshift
Rupert A. C. Croft, A. J. Banday, Lars Hernquist
The intergalactic neutral hydrogen which is responsible for the Lyman alpha forest of quasar absorption is a tracer of much larger amounts of ionised hydrogen. The ionised componen…
Boundary layer emission in luminous LMXBs
M. Gilfanov, M. Revnivtsev
We show that aperiodic and quasiperiodic variability of bright LMXBs - atoll and Z- sources, on ~sec - msec time scales is caused primarily by variations of the boundary layer lumi…
The ignition of thermonuclear flames in Type Ia supernovae
L. Iapichino, M. Brüggen, W. Hillebrandt +1
In the framework of the Chandrasekhar-mass deflagration model for Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia), a persisting free parameter is the initial morphology of the flame front, which is li…
Acoustic oscillations in the SDSS DR4 Luminous Red Galaxy sample power spectrum
Gert Huetsi
We calculate the redshift-space power spectrum of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Data Release 4 (DR4) Luminous Red Galaxy (LRG) sample, finding evidence for a full series of a…
The stability of toroidal fields in stars
Jonathan Braithwaite
We present numerical models of hydromagnetic instabilities under the conditions prevailing in a stably stratified, non-convective stellar interior, and compare them with previous r…
The soft X-ray properties of quasars in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
Shiyin Shen, Simon D. M. White, H. J. Mo +4
We use the ROSAT All Sky Survey (RASS) to study the soft X-ray properties of a homogeneous sample of 46,420 quasars selected from the third data release of the Sloan Digital Sky Su…
Detection with RHESSI of high frequency X-ray oscillations in the tail of the 2004 hyperflare from SGR 1806-20
Anna L Watts, Tod E Strohmayer
The recent discovery of high frequency oscillations in giant flares from SGR 1806-20 and SGR 1900+14 may be the first direct detection of vibrations in a neutron star crust. If thi…
The influence of baryons on the clustering of matter and weak lensing surveys
Y. P. Jing, Pengjie Zhang, W. P. Lin +2
Future weak lensing measurements of cosmic shear will reach such high accuracy that second order effects in weak lensing modeling, like the influence of baryons on structure format…
Evolution in the black hole mass-bulge mass relation: a theoretical perspective
Darren J Croton
We explore the growth of super-massive black holes and host galaxy bulges in the galaxy population using the Millennium Run LCDM simulation coupled with a model of galaxy formation…
Two-Dimensional Hydrodynamic Core-Collapse Supernova Simulations with Spectral Neutrino Transport II. Models for Different Progenitor Stars
R. Buras, H. -Th. Janka, M. Rampp +1
1D and 2D supernova simulations for stars between 11 and 25 solar masses are presented, making use of the Prometheus/Vertex neutrino-hydrodynamics code, which employs a full spectr…
Selecting damped Lyman-alpha systems through CaII absorption. I: Dust depletions and reddening at z~1
Vivienne Wild, Paul Hewett, Max Pettini
We use the average E(B-V) and ZnII column densities of a sample of z~1 CaII (3935, 3970) absorption line systems selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS DR4) to show that…
Cauchy-perturbative matching revisited: tests in spherical symmetry
Burkhard Zink, Enrique Pazos, Peter Diener +1
During the last few years progress has been made on several fronts making it possible to revisit Cauchy-perturbative matching (CPM) in numerical relativity in a more robust and acc…
Weighing the young stellar discs around Sgr A*
Sergei Nayakshin, Walter Dehnen, Jorge Cuadra +1
It is believed that young massive stars orbiting Sgr A* in two stellar discs on scales of 0.1-0.2 parsecs were formed either farther out in the Galaxy and then quickly migrated inw…
How do galactic winds affect the Lyalpha forest?
Serena Bertone, Simon D. M. White
We investigate the effect of galactic winds on the Lyalpha forest in cosmological simulations of structure and galaxy formation. We combine high resolution N-body simulations of th…
