The Accretion Explorer Interferometer (AEI) Phase I NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts Final Report
Kimberly A. Weaver, Jenna M. Cann, Kenneth Carpenter +30
We must create superb X-ray images to understand the detailed physical processes behind some of the most powerful astronomical objects. The need to achieve this capability has been…
A Population of Little Red Dot-like Quasars in SDSS
Quinn O. Casey, Ryan C. Hickox, Nikko J. Cleri +6
Compact and red sources in the high redshift () Universe, known as "Little Red Dots" (LRDs), are among JWST's most intriguing discoveries. These sources have broad Balmer e…
The Hunt for Red Dual AGNs I: Spatially-Resolved Mid-IR Dual AGNs in the DeCam Legacy Survey
Ryan W. Pfeifle, Kimberly A. Weaver, Barry Rothberg +13
Theoretical studies predict that dual AGNs are a critical stage of galaxy merger-driven supermassive black hole growth. Systematic searches for dual AGNs typically target late-stag…
AGN versus Star-formation: A MUSE Analysis of NGC 1365
Kyla Mullaney, Kelly E. Whalen, Jenna Cann +3
Active galactic nuclei (AGN) and star formation feedback may heat and remove gas from galaxies in a process that quenches ongoing star formation and shapes the evolution of galaxie…
The Need for Ultra High Resolution X-ray Imaging
Kimberly A. Weaver, Jenna M. Cann, Ryan Pfeifle +20
This paper discusses the broad science case for obtaining milliarcsecond to microarcsecond astronomical imaging resolution in the soft to medium-energy X-ray band (~0.5 to ~8 keV).…
Limitations on Morphological Fitting for JWST "Little Red Dots"
Kelly E. Whalen, Kimberly A. Weaver, Ryan C. Hickox +1
Early results from JWST uncover a peculiar class of objects referred to as ``little red dots'' (LRDs). The extremely compact morphology of LRDs is often invoked to point towards an…
Deep Ultraviolet, Emission-Line Imaging of the Makani Galactic Wind
Triet Ha, David Rupke, Shane Caraker +14
The OVI 1032, 1038 A line is a key probe of cooling gas in the circumgalactic medium (CGM) of galaxies, but has been observed to date primarily in absorption along single sightline…
The case for super-Eddington accretion in JWST broad-line AGN during the first billion years
Erini Lambrides, Rebecca Larson, Kristen Garofali +23
A multitude of JWST studies reveal a surprising over-abundance of over-massive accreting super-massive black holes (SMBHs) -- leading to a deepening tension between theory and obse…
The Intrinsic Sizes of Odd Radio Circles
David Rupke, Alison Coil, Kelly Whalen +3
A new class of radio source, the so-called Odd Radio Circles (ORCs), have been discovered by recent sensitive, large-area radio continuum surveys. The distances of these sources ha…
Ionized Gas Extended Over 40 kpc in an Odd Radio Circle Host Galaxy
Alison L. Coil, Serena Perrotta, David S. N. Rupke +10
A new class of extragalactic astronomical sources discovered in 2021, named Odd Radio Circles (ORCs, Norris et al. 2021), are large rings of faint, diffuse radio continuum emission…
Kinematics, Structure, and Mass Outflow Rates of Extreme Starburst Galactic Outflows
Serena Perrotta, Alison L. Coil, David S. N. Rupke +10
We present results on the properties of extreme gas outflows in massive (10), compact, starburst ($200 \, \rm M_{\odot} \ yr^{-1}…
The Ionization and Dynamics of the Makani Galactic Wind
David S. N. Rupke, Alison L. Coil, Serena Perrotta +10
The Makani galaxy hosts the poster child of a galactic wind on scales of the circumgalactic medium. It consists of a two-episode wind in which the slow, outer wind originated 400 M…
Host Dark Matter Halos of WISE-selected Obscured & Unobscured Quasars: Evidence for Evolution
Grayson C. Petter, Ryan C. Hickox, David M. Alexander +4
Obscuration in quasars may arise from steep viewing angles along the dusty torus, or instead may represent a distinct phase of supermassive black hole growth. We test these scenari…
The Space Density of Intermediate Redshift, Extremely Compact, Massive Starburst Galaxies
Kelly E. Whalen, Ryan C. Hickox, Alison L. Coil +10
We present a measurement of the intrinsic space density of intermediate redshift (), massive (), compact ( pc) star…
Host Dark Matter Halos of SDSS Red and Blue Quasars: No Significant Difference in Large-scale Environment
Grayson C. Petter, Ryan C. Hickox, David M. Alexander +6
The observed optical colors of quasars are generally interpreted in one of two frameworks: unified models which attribute color to random orientation of the accretion disk along th…
Virgo Filaments II: Catalog and First Results on the Effect of Filaments on galaxy properties
G. Castignani, B. Vulcani, R. A. Finn +12
Virgo is the nearest galaxy cluster; it is thus ideal for studies of galaxy evolution in dense environments in the local Universe. It is embedded in a complex filamentary network o…
Physical Properties of Massive Compact Starburst Galaxies with Extreme Outflows
Serena Perrotta, Erin R. George, Alison L. Coil +12
We present results on the nature of extreme ejective feedback episodes and the physical conditions of a population of massive (), compact starburst…
Compact Starburst Galaxies with Fast Outflows: Central Escape Velocities and Stellar Mass Surface Densities from Multi-band Hubble Space Telescope Imaging
