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…

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…

Gravitational redshift profiles of MaNGA BCGs

Hongyu Zhu, Shadab Alam, Rupert A. C. Croft +4

The gravitational potential well of an galaxy will lead to a gravitational redshift differential of order 1 km/s between the galaxy core and its outskirts. Cu…

The Radial Acceleration Relation in Disk Galaxies in the MassiveBlack-II Simulation

Ananth Tenneti, Yao-Yuan Mao, Rupert A. C. Croft +4

A strong correlation has been measured between the observed centripetal accelerations in galaxies and the accelerations implied by the baryonic components of galaxies. This empiric…
