We introduce the Bias-free Extragalactic Analysis for Cosmic Origins with NIRCam (BEACON) survey, a JWST Cycle2 program allocated up to 600 pure-parallel hours of observations. BEA…
The rates and host galaxies of pair-instability supernovae through cosmic time: Predictions from BPASS and IllustrisTNG
Max M. Briel, Benjamin Metha, Jan J. Eldridge +2
Pair-instability supernovae (PISNe) have long been predicted to be the final fates of near-zero-metallicity very massive stars (, $\mathrm{M}_\mathrm{ZAMS} \gtrsim 1…
A "Rosetta Stone" for Studies of Spatial Variation in Astrophysical Data: Power Spectra, Semivariograms, Structure Functions, and More
Benjamin Metha, Sabrina Berger
From the turbulent interstellar medium to the cosmic web, astronomers in many different fields have needed to make sense of spatial data describing our Universe. Through different…
A forward-modelling approach to overcome PSF smearing and fit flexible models to the chemical structure of galaxies
Benjamin Metha, Simon Birrer, Tommaso Treu +3
Historically, metallicity profiles of galaxies have been modelled using a radially symmetric, two-parameter linear model, which reveals that most galaxies are more metal-rich in th…
