Weighing the Milky Way's Satellite Galaxies Using Pulsar Accelerations
Thomas Donlon, Sukanya Chakrabarti, Jason A. S. Hunt
The properties of dwarf galaxies orbiting the Milky Way (MW) are useful for testing models of the formation of our Galaxy, and by extension various theories of cosmology. Recent ef…
Mean Mass Density near the Sun from the Divergence Theorem and Pulsar Accelerations
Thomas Donlon, Lawrence M. Widrow, Sukanya Chakrabarti
We introduce a new, non-parametric method for estimating the mass enclosed within a sphere of arbitrary radius centered on the Sun. The method is based on the divergence theorem as…
Chemical Components in the Virgo Overdensity and Hercules-Aquila Cloud: hints of more than one merger event in GSE-like debris
Haoyang Liu, Cuihua Du, Thomas Donlon +1
Using elemental abundances for 1.26 million K giants in the LAMOST DR8 value-added catalog, we analyze the chemical abundances of the Virgo Overdensity (VOD) and Hercules-Aquila Cl…
Empirical Modeling of Magnetic Braking in Millisecond Pulsars to Measure the Local Dark Matter Density and Effects of Orbiting Satellite Galaxies
Thomas Donlon, Sukanya Chakrabarti, Sophia Vanderwaal +3
We present a novel method that enables us to estimate the acceleration of individual millisecond pulsars (MSPs) using only their spin period and its time derivative. For our binary…
