Predicting Session Length in Media Streaming
Theodore Vasiloudis, Hossein Vahabi, Ross Kravitz +1
Session length is a very important aspect in determining a user's satisfaction with a media streaming service. Being able to predict how long a session will last can be of great us…
A "Light," Centrally-Concentrated Milky Way Halo?
Valery Rashkov, Annalisa Pillepich, Alis J. Deason +4
We discuss a novel approach to "weighing" the Milky Way dark matter halo, one that combines the latest samples of halo stars selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) with…
A Population of Relic Intermediate-Mass Black Holes in the Halo of the Milky Way
Valery Rashkov, Piero Madau
If "seed" central black holes were common in the subgalactic building blocks that merged to form present-day massive galaxies, then relic intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) shou…
Direct Gravitational Imaging of Intermediate Mass Black Holes in Extragalactic Halos
Kaiki Taro Inoue, Valery Rashkov, Joseph Silk +1
A galaxy halo may contain a large number of intermediate mass black holes (IMBHs) with masses in the range of 10^{2-6} solar mass. We propose to directly detect these IMBHs by obse…
Insight Into the Formation of the Milky Way Through Cold Halo Substructure. III. Statistical Chemical Tagging in the Smooth Halo
Kevin C. Schlaufman, Constance M. Rockosi, Young Sun Lee +5
We find that the relative contribution of satellite galaxies accreted at high redshift to the stellar population of the Milky Way's smooth halo increases with distance, becoming ob…
On the assembly of the Milky Way dwarf satellites and their common mass scale
Valery Rashkov, Piero Madau, Michael Kuhlen +1
We use a particle tagging technique to dynamically populate the N-body Via Lactea II high-resolution simulation with stars. The method is calibrated using the observed luminosity f…
