Non-thermal emission from the interaction of magnetized exoplanets with the wind of their host star
Xiawei Wang, Abraham Loeb
We study the non-thermal emission from the interaction between magnetized Jupiter-like exoplanets and the wind from their host star. The supersonic motion of planets through the wi…
Self-sustaining star formation fronts in filaments during cosmic dawn
Xiawei Wang, Abraham Loeb
We propose a new model for the ignition of star formation in low-mass halos by a self-sustaining shock front in cosmic filaments at high redshifts. The gaseous fuel for star format…
Formation and spatial distribution of hypervelocity stars in AGN outflows
Xiawei Wang, Abraham Loeb
We study star formation within outflows driven by active galactic nuclei (AGN) as a new source of hypervelocity stars (HVSs). Recent observations revealed active star formation ins…
Ultra high energy cosmic rays from non-relativistic quasar outflows
Xiawei Wang, Abraham Loeb
It has been suggested that non-relativistic outflows from quasars can naturally account for the missing component of the extragalactic -ray background and explain the cumulative…
Quasar-driven outflows account for the missing extragalactic gamma-ray background
Xiawei Wang, Abraham Loeb
The origin of the extragalactic -ray background permeating throughout the Universe remains a mystery forty years after its discovery. The extrapolated population of blazars can…
Cumulative neutrino background from quasar-driven outflows
Xiawei Wang, Abraham Loeb
Quasar-driven outflows naturally account for the missing component of the extragalactic -ray background through neutral pion production in interactions between protons accelerat…
Detecting Stars at the Galactic Centre via Synchrotron Emission
Idan Ginsburg, Xiawei Wang, Abraham Loeb +1
Stars orbiting within 1$\arcsec$ of the supermassive black hole in the Galactic Centre, Sgr A*, are notoriously difficult to detect due to obscuration by gas and dust. We show that…
Probing the gaseous halo of galaxies through non-thermal emission from AGN-driven outflows
Xiawei Wang, Abraham Loeb
Feedback from outflows driven by active galactic nuclei (AGN) can affect the distribution and properties of the gaseous halos of galaxies. We study the hydrodynamics and non-therma…
New insights from deep VLA data on the potentially recoiling black hole CID-42 in the COSMOS field
Mladen Novak, Vernesa Smolcic, Francesca Civano +12
We present deep 3 GHz VLA observations of the potentially recoiling black hole CID-42 in the COSMOS field. This galaxy shows two optical nuclei in the HST/ACS image and a large vel…
Detecting floating black holes as they traverse the gas disk of the Milky Way
Xiawei Wang, Abraham Loeb
A population of intermediate-mass black holes (BHs) is predicted to be freely floating in the Milky Way (MW) halo, due to gravitational wave recoil, ejection from triple BH systems…
