Loop Dominated Signals from Neutrino Portal Dark Matter

Hiren H. Patel, Stefano Profumo, Bibhushan Shakya

We study scenarios where loop processes give the dominant contributions to dark matter decay or annihilation despite the presence of tree level channels. We illustrate this possibi…

A Catalog of M-dwarf Flares with ASAS-SN

Romy Rodríguez Martínez, Laura A. Lopez, Benjamin J. Shappee +5

We analyzed the light curves of 1376 early-to-late, nearby M dwarfs to search for white-light flares using photometry from the All-Sky Automated Survey for Supernovae (ASAS-SN). We…

A hidden friend for the galactic center black hole, Sgr A*

Smadar Naoz, Clifford M. Will, Enrico Ramirez-Ruiz +3

The hierarchical nature of galaxy formation suggests that a supermassive black hole binary could exist in our galactic center. We propose a new approach to constraining the possibl…

The Activation of Galactic Nuclei and Their Accretion Rates are Linked to the Star Formation Rates and Bulge-types of Their Host Galaxies

Hassen M. Yesuf, S. M. Faber, David C. Koo +3

We use bulge-type classifications of 809 representative SDSS galaxies by Gadotti (2009) to classify a large sample of galaxies into real bulges (classical or elliptical) and pseudo…
