Ordering of timescales predicts applicability of quasi-linear theory in unstable flows
Curtis J. Saxton, Brad Marston, Jeffrey S. Oishi +1
We discuss the applicability of quasilinear-type approximations for a turbulent system with a large range of spatial and temporal scales. We consider a paradigm fluid system of rot…
Polarised radiative transfer, rotation measure fluctuations and large-scale magnetic fields
Alvina Y. L. On, Jennifer Y. H. Chan, Kinwah Wu +2
Faraday rotation measure at radio wavelengths is commonly used to diagnose large-scale magnetic fields. It is argued that the length-scales on which magnetic fields vary in large-s…
Spectral features of tidal-disruption candidates and alternative origins for such transient flares
Curtis J. Saxton, Hagai B. Perets, Alexei Baskin
UV and optically selected candidates for stellar tidal disruption events (TDE) often exhibit broad spectral features (HeII emission, H emission, or absorption lines) on a blackb…
Dark matter concentrations in galactic nuclei according to polytropic models
Curtis J. Saxton, Ziri Younsi, Kinwah Wu
We calculate the radial profiles of galaxies where the nuclear region is self-gravitating, consisting of self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) with degrees of freedom. For suffic…
High-energy neutrino fluxes from AGN populations inferred from X-ray surveys
Idunn B. Jacobsen, Kinwah Wu, Alvina Y. L. On +1
High-energy neutrinos and photons are complementary messengers, probing violent astrophysical processes and structural evolution of the Universe. X-ray and neutrino observations jo…
Dark halo microphysics and massive black hole scaling relations in galaxies
Curtis J. Saxton, Roberto Soria, Kinwah Wu
We investigate the black hole (BH) scaling relation in galaxies using a model in which the galaxy halo and central BH are a self-gravitating sphere of dark matter (DM) with an isot…
