Blowing star formation away in AGN hosts (BAH) -- V: The Feeding-Feedback Cycle in local AGNs as revealed by their stellar populations
Rogério Riffel, Rogemar A. Riffel, Gabriel L. Souza-Oliveira +9
We present a spatially resolved analysis of the stellar populations in the inner kiloparsec of NGC 3884, 3C 293, and CGCG 012-070. Using near-infrared spectroscopy, we reconstruct…
A Long Period Stellar-Mass Black Hole Binary in Centauri
Matthew Whitaker, Evan Kerr, Anil Seth +16
Modern simulations of stellar dynamics in globular clusters peg a dominant role for stellar-mass black holes, but direct evidence for black holes in clusters remains limited. We pr…
A Changing-Look Seyfert Discovered by eROSITA Reveals a Two-Component Broad-Line Region
Alex Markowitz, Mirko Krumpe, David Homan +12
Extreme sudden changes in the flow of accreting gas onto SMBHs manifest themselves via large-amplitude continuum variability and changes to broad Balmer emission profiles, driving…
The contribution of the color space in LSST-like photometry for the selection of extragalactic globular cluster candidates
Nicholas Schweder-Souza, Ana L. Chies-Santos, Rafael S. de Souza +16
Globular clusters (GCs) are excellent tracers of their host galaxies' evolutionary histories. Traditional methods for identifying GCs in galaxies rely on cuts over photometric cata…
KRIOS: A new basis-expansion -body code for collisional stellar dynamics
Kerwann Tep, Brian T. Cook, Carl L. Rodriguez +4
The gravitational -body problem is a nearly universal problem in astrophysics which, despite its deceptive simplicity, still presents a significant computational challenge. For…
Emission Line Diagnostics for IMBHs in Dwarf Galaxies: Accounting for BH Seeding and ULX Excitation
Chris T. Richardson, Jordan Wels, Kristen Garofali +13
Dwarf AGN serve as the ideal systems for identifying intermediate mass black holes (IMBHs) down to the most elusive regimes (). However, the ubiquitousl…
Constraining Lens Masses in Moderately to Highly Magnified Microlensing Events from Gaia
U. Pylypenko, Ł. Wyrzykowski, P. J. Mikołajczyk +57
Microlensing events provide a unique way to detect and measure the masses of isolated, non-luminous objects, particularly dark stellar remnants. Under certain conditions, it is pos…
The Lyman alpha Sky as Observed by New Horizons
G. R. Gladstone, J. M. Shull, W. R. Pryor +22
During September 2023 the Alice ultraviolet spectrograph on the New Horizons (NH) spacecraft was used to map diffuse Lyman alpha (Lya) emission over most of the sky, at a range of…
Recovering the properties of the interstellar medium through integrated spectroscopy: application to the z~0 ECO volume-limited star-forming galaxy sample
V. Lebouteiller, C. T. Richardson, M. S. Polimera +7
Deriving physical parameters from integrated galaxy spectra is paramount to interpret the cosmic evolution of star formation, chemical enrichment, and energetic sources. We develop…
Capivara: A Spectral-based Segmentation Method for IFU Data Cubes
Rafael S. de Souza, Luis G. Dahmer-Hahn, Shiyin Shen +7
We present capivara, a fast and scalable spectral-based segmentation package designed to study astrophysical properties within distinct structural components of galaxies. This spec…
Identification and Quenching of Nugget Galaxies in the RESOLVE Survey at z = 0
Derrick S. Carr, Sheila J. Kannappan, Mark A. Norris +7
We present a complete census of candidate nuggets, i.e., dense galaxies likely formed by compaction with intense gas influx, within the volume-limited REsolved Spectrosc…
SMC-Last Extracted Photometry
T. A. Kuchar, G. C. Sloan, D. R. Mizuno +11
We present point-source photometry from the Spitzer Space Telescope's final survey of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). We mapped 30 square degrees in two epochs in 2017, with the…
Non-resonant relaxation of rotating globular clusters
Kerwann Tep, Jean-Baptiste Fouvry, Christophe Pichon
The long-term relaxation of rotating, spherically symmetric globular clusters is investigated through an extension of the orbit averaged Chandrasekhar non-resonant formalism. A com…
Great Balls of FIRE III: Modeling Black Hole Mergers from Massive Star Clusters in Simulations of Galaxies
Tristan Bruel, Carl L. Rodriguez, Astrid Lamberts +3
After the nearly hundred gravitational-wave detections reported by the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Collaboration, the question of the cosmological origin of merging binary black holes (BBHs)…
Runaway and Hypervelocity Stars from Compact Object Encounters in Globular Clusters
Tomás Cabrera, Carl L. Rodriguez
The dense environments in the cores of globular clusters (GCs) facilitate many strong dynamical encounters among stellar objects. These encounters have been shown capable of ejecti…
SMC-Last Mosaic Images
D. R. Mizuno, Kathleen E. Kraemer, T. A. Kuchar +1
We present mosaic images of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) observed with the Spitzer IRAC 3.6 m and 4.5 m bands over two epochs, 2017 August 25 to 2017 September 13, and 20…
Optical variability of eight FRII-type quasars with 13-yr photometric light curves
Agnieszka Kuźmicz, Arti Goyal, Stanisław Zola +7
We characterize the optical variability properties of eight lobe-dominated radio quasars (QSOs): B2 070937, FBQS J095206.3235245, PG 1004130, [HB89] 1156631, [HB89] 142…
Low-density star cluster formation: discovery of a young faint fuzzy on the outskirts of the low-mass spiral galaxy NGC 247
Aaron J. Romanowsky, Søren S. Larsen, Alexa Villaume +21
The classical globular clusters found in all galaxy types have half-light radii of 2-4 pc, which have been tied to formation in the dense cores of giant molecular…
Host galaxy magnitude of OJ 287 from its colours at minimum light
Mauri J. Valtonen, Lankeswar Dey, S. Zola +54
OJ 287 is a BL Lacertae type quasar in which the active galactic nucleus (AGN) outshines the host galaxy by an order of magnitude. The only exception to this may be at minimum ligh…
