Population statistics of nanohertz gravitational wave sources

Jiming Yu, Zhen Pan, Xiao Xue +1

The recent detection of a nanohertz gravitational wave (GW) background by pulsar timing arrays (PTA) has sparked extensive discussions regarding its origin-whether it arises from a…

Partially Ionized Gas at Equilibrium Powered by Ultraviolet Irradiation

Liang Dai

We study the formation of a partially ionized zone behind the usual H II zone in photo-ionized gas for gas density intermediate between ordinary H II regions and AGN BLRs and witho…

Non-Gaussian Statistics of Nanohertz Stochastic Gravitational Waves

Xiao Xue, Zhen Pan, Liang Dai

Recent detection of nHz stochastic gravitational wave background (SGWB) by multiple pulsar timing arrays (PTAs) has stimulated intensive discussions about its physical origin. In p…

Effects of Subhalos on Interpreting Highly Magnified Sources Near Lensing Caustics

Lingyuan Ji, Liang Dai

Large magnification factors near gravitational lensing caustics of galaxy cluster lenses allow the study of individual stars or compact stellar associations at cosmological distanc…

Identification of 40 gravitationally magnified stars in a galaxy at redshift of 0.725

Yoshinobu Fudamoto, Fengwu Sun, Jose M. Diego +44

Strong gravitational magnifications enable to detect faint background sources, resolve their internal structures, and even identify individual stars in distant galaxies. Highly mag…
