Open Science in Astrophysics: Citation Benefits of Open Code, Open Data, and Open Access

Parth Joshi, Rupert Croft

We analyze the relationship between open-accessibility in data, code, and paper text in astrophysics using a sample of 53,194 peer reviewed papers published between January 2021 an…

Constraining Extragalactic Proper Motion with Gaia Astrometry

Sean Maloney, Tianqing Zhang, Rupert Croft +1

The Solar System's secular motion with respect to the cosmic microwave background (CMB) rest frame is inferred from the CMB dipole and should induce a tiny, coherent apparent drift…

Forecasting the Detection of Lyman-Alpha Forest Weak Lensing from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument and Other Future Surveys

Patrick Shaw, Rupert A. C. Croft, R. Benton Metcalf

The apparent angular positions of quasars are deflected on the sky by the gravitational field sourced by foreground matter. This weak lensing effect is measurable through the disto…

Boosting Line Intensity Map Signal-to-Noise with the Ly- Forest Cross-Correlation

Mahdi Qezlou, Simeon Bird, Adam Lidz +6

We forecast the prospects for cross-correlating future line intensity mapping (LIM) surveys with the current and future Ly- forest data. We use large cosmological hydrodynamic s…

Unequal-mass boson-star binaries: Initial data and merger dynamics

Tamara Evstafyeva, Ulrich Sperhake, Thomas Helfer +4

We present a generalization of the curative initial data construction derived for equal-mass compact binaries in Helfer {\it et al} (2019 Phys. Rev. D 99 044046; 2022 Class. Quantu…

Ultramassive black holes formed by triple quasar mergers at

Yueying Ni, Tiziana DiMatteo, Nianyi Chen +2

The origin of rare and elusive ultramassive black holes (UMBH, with MBH > 1e10 Msun) is an open question. Using the large volume cosmological hydrodynamic simulation ASTRID, we rep…
