Project AMIGA: The Inner Circumgalactic Medium of Andromeda from Thick Disk to Halo
Nicolas Lehner, J. Christopher Howk, Lucy Collins +22
The inner circumgalactic medium (CGM) of galaxies, where disk and halo processes intersect, remains poorly characterized despite its critical role in regulating galaxy evolution. W…
Gamma-ray Bursts as Distance Indicators by a Statistical Learning Approach
Maria Giovanna Dainotti, Aditya Narendra, Agnieszka Pollo +6
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) can be probes of the early universe, but currently, only 26% of GRBs observed by the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory GRBs have known redshifts () due to o…
FLIMFLAM DR1: The First Constraints on the Cosmic Baryon Distribution from 8 FRB sightlines
Ilya S. Khrykin, Metin Ata, Khee-Gan Lee +15
The dispersion measure of fast radio bursts (FRBs), arising from the interactions of the pulses with free electrons along the propagation path, constitutes a unique probe of the co…
Cosmic Himalayas: The Highest Quasar Density Peak Identified in a 10,000 deg Sky with Spatial Discrepancies between Galaxies, Quasars, and IGM HI
Yongming Liang, Masami Ouchi, Dongsheng Sun +27
We report the identification of a quasar overdensity in the BOSSJ0210 field, dubbed Cosmic Himalayas, consisting of 11 quasars at , the densest overdensity of quasars…
