Micrometeoroid Impact Rate Analysis for an Artemis-Era Lunar Base

Daniel A. Yahalomi, Matthew T. Scoggins, Nasiah Anderson +5

NASA's Artemis Mission aims to return astronauts to the Moon and establish a base at the lunar south pole. A key challenge is understanding the threat from micrometeoroid impacts,…

Heavy black hole seed survivors in dwarf galaxies: a case study of Leo I

Matthew T. Scoggins, Zoltan Haiman, Fabio Pacucci

The supermassive black holes (SMBHs) with mass hosted by high-redshift galaxies have challenged our understanding of black hole formation and grow…

Learning the Universe: Tests of a Field Level -body Simulation Emulator

Matthew T. Scoggins, Matthew Ho, Francisco Villaescusa-Navarro +3

We apply and test a field-level emulator for non-linear cosmic structure formation in a volume matching next-generation surveys. Inferring the cosmological parameters and initial c…

A Post-Starburst Pathway for the Formation of Massive Galaxies and Black Holes at z>6

Masafusa Onoue, Xuheng Ding, John D. Silverman +45

Understanding the rapid formation of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) in the early universe requires insight into stellar mass growth in host galaxies. Here, we present NIRSpec res…

Tip of the iceberg: overmassive black holes at 4<z<7 found by JWST are not inconsistent with the local - relation

Junyao Li, John D. Silverman, Yue Shen +8

JWST is revealing a new remarkable population of high-redshift (), low-luminosity Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs) in deep surveys and detecting the host galaxy stellar lig…

Diagnosing the massive-seed pathway to high-redshift black holes: statistics of the evolving black hole to host galaxy mass ratio

Matthew T. Scoggins, Zoltán Haiman

Supermassive black holes (SMBHs) with masses of within the first billion year of the universe challenge our conventional understanding of black hole forma…

Non-Quantum Behaviors of Configuration-Space Density Formulations of quantum mechanics

Philipp Roser, Matthew T. Scoggins

The trajectories of the pilot-wave formulation of quantum mechanics and hence its empirical predictions may be recovered via the dynamics of a density function on the configuration…

Lazarus Stars: Numerical investigations of stellar evolution with star-lifting as a life extension strategy

Matthew T. Scoggins, David Kipping

The aging and gradual brightening of the Sun will challenge Earth's habitability in the next few billion years. If life exists elsewhere in the Universe, the aging of its host star…

How long do high-redshift massive black hole seeds remain outliers in black hole vs. host galaxy relations?

Matthew T. Scoggins, Zoltán Haiman, John H. Wise

The existence of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) within the first billion years of the universe remains a puzzle in our conventional understanding of black h…

Topological and geometric patterns in optimal bang-bang protocols for variational quantum algorithms: application to the model on the square lattice

Matthew T. Scoggins, Armin Rahmani

In this work, we address the challenge of uncovering patterns in variational optimal protocols for taking the system to ground states of many-body Hamiltonians, using variational q…

APOGEE Net: Improving the derived spectral parameters for young stars through deep learning

Richard Olney, Marina Kounkel, Chad Schillinger +6

Machine learning allows efficient extraction of physical properties from stellar spectra that have been obtained by large surveys. The viability of ML approaches has been demonstra…
