Detecting the signatures of helium in type Iax supernovae

M. R. Magee, S. A. Sim, R. Kotak +2

Recent studies have argued that the progenitor system of type Iax supernovae must consist of a carbon-oxygen white dwarf accreting from a helium star companion. Based on existing e…

Hot Atmospheres, Cold Gas, AGN Feedback and the Evolution of Early Type Galaxies: a Topical Perspective

N. Werner, B. R. McNamara, E. Churazov +1

Most galaxies comparable to or larger than the mass of the Milky Way host hot, X-ray emitting atmospheres, and many such galaxies are radio sources. Hot atmospheres and radio jets…

Constraining the mass density of free-floating black holes using razor-thin lensing arcs

Uddipan Banik, Frank C. van den Bosch, Michael Tremmel +5

Strong lensing of active galactic nuclei in the radio can result in razor-thin arcs, with a thickness of less than a milli-arcsecond, if observed at the resolution achievable with…

The Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect of simulated jet-inflated bubbles in clusters

Kristian Ehlert, Christoph Pfrommer, Rainer Weinberger +2

Feedback by active galactic nuclei (AGNs) is essential for regulating the fast radiative cooling of low-entropy gas at the centers of galaxy clusters and for reducing star formatio…

Search for HI emission from superdisk candidates associated with radio galaxies

Abhijeet Anand, Nirupam Roy, Gopal-Krishna

Giant gaseous layers (termed "superdisk") have been hypothesized in the past to account for the strip-like radio emission gap (or straight-edged central brightness depression) obse…

Simulations of the merging cluster of galaxies Cygnus A

Timo Halbesma, Julius Donnert, Martijn de Vries +1

The archetype FR-II galaxy Cygnus A lies in a moderately rich cluster about to undergo a major merger. We study the pre-merger Cygnus cluster environment using smoothed particle hy…

Chandra centres for COSMOS X-ray galaxy groups: Differences in stellar properties between central dominant and offset brightest group galaxies

Ghassem Gozaliasl, Alexis Finoguenov, Masayuki Tanaka +24

We present the results of a search for galaxy clusters and groups in the square degree of the COSMOS field using all available X-ray observations from the XMM-Newton and Ch…

A -ray determination of the Universe's star-formation history

LAT Collaboration, M. Ajello, K. Helgason +4

The light emitted by all galaxies over the history of the Universe produces the extragalactic background light (EBL) at ultraviolet, optical, and infrared wavelengths. The EBL is a…

Orbit properties of massive prolate galaxies in the Illustris simulation

Yougang Wang, Shude Mao, Hongyu Li +3

We explore orbit properties of 35 prolate-triaxial galaxies selected from the Illustris cosmological hydrodynamic simulation. We present a detailed study of their orbit families, a…

Relativistic envelopes and gamma-rays from neutron star mergers

Andrei M. Beloborodov, Christoffer Lundman, Yuri Levin

We suggest that neutron star mergers eject an ultra-relativistic envelope of mass , which helps explain the gamma-ray burst from GW170817. One ejection mechan…

Singlet-doublet fermion and triplet scalar dark matter with radiative neutrino masses

Juri Fiaschi, Michael Klasen, Simon May

We present a detailed study of a combined singlet-doublet fermion and triplet scalar model for dark matter. These models have only been studied separately in the past. Together, th…

Three-dimensional mixing and light curves: constraints on the progenitor of supernova 1987A

Victor Utrobin, Annop Wongwathanarat, H. -Thomas Janka +3

With the same method as used previously, we investigate neutrino-driven explosions of a larger sample of blue supergiant models. The larger sample includes three new presupernova s…

A Bayesian Model for Bivariate Causal Inference

Maximilian Kurthen, Torsten A. Enßlin

We address the problem of two-variable causal inference without intervention. This task is to infer an existing causal relation between two random variables, i.e. …

Stellar ages, masses and radii from asteroseismic modeling are robust to systematic errors in spectroscopy

Earl P. Bellinger, Saskia Hekker, George C. Angelou +2

The search for twins of the Sun and Earth relies on accurate characterization of stellar and exoplanetary parameters: i.e., ages, masses, and radii. In the modern era of asteroseis…
