Measuring patchy reionisation with kSZ-21 cm correlations

Q. Ma, K. Helgason, E. Komatsu +2

We study cross-correlations of the kinetic Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect (kSZ) and 21 cm signals during the epoch of reionisation (EoR) to measure the effects of patchy reionisation. S…

The dependence of cosmic ray driven galactic winds on halo mass

Svenja Jacob, Rüdiger Pakmor, Christine M. Simpson +2

Galactic winds regulate star formation in disk galaxies and help to enrich the circum-galactic medium. They are therefore crucial for galaxy formation, but their driving mechanism…

The evolution of young HII regions

P. D. Klaassen, K. G. Johnston, J. S. Urquhart +6

High-mass stars form in much richer environments than those associated with isolated low-mass stars, and once they reach a certain mass, produce ionised (HII) regions. The formatio…

Halo Substructure in the SDSS-Gaia Catalogue : Streams and Clumps

G. C. Myeong, N. W. Evans, V. Belokurov +2

We use the SDSS-Gaia Catalogue to identify six new pieces of halo substructure. SDSS-Gaia is an astrometric catalogue that exploits SDSS data release 9 to provide first epoch photo…

AGN Feedback Compared: Jets versus Radiation

S. Cielo, R. Bieri, M. Volonteri +2

Feedback by Active Galactic Nuclei is often divided into quasar and radio mode, powered by radiation or radio jets, respectively. Both are fundamental in galaxy evolution, especial…

SNe 2013K and 2013am: observed and physical properties of two slow, normal Type IIP events

L. Tomasella, E. Cappellaro, M. L. Pumo +28

We present one year of optical and near-infrared photometry and spectroscopy of the Type IIP SNe 2013K and 2013am. Both objects are affected by significant extinction, due to their…

AGB subpopulations in the nearby globular cluster NGC 6397

B. T. MacLean, S. W. Campbell, G. M. De Silva +5

It has been well established that Galactic Globular clusters (GCs) harbour more than one stellar population, distinguishable by the anti-correlations of light element abundances (C…

Interaction of the accretion flows in corona and disk near the black hole in AGN

E. Meyer-Hofmeister, B. F. Liu, E. Qiao

Accretion flows toward black holes can be of a quite different nature, described as an optically thick cool gas flow in a disk for high accretion rates or as a hot coronal opticall…
