Eccentricity dynamics of wide binaries -- II. The effect of stellar encounters and constraints on formation channels
Chris Hamilton, Shaunak Modak
GAIA wide stellar binaries (separations AU) are observed to have a superthermal eccentricity distribution function (DF), well-fit by with $α…
Record-breaking polarization from the interacting superluminous supernova 2017hcc
Jon C. Mauerhan, Nathan Smith, G. Grant Williams +12
We present multiepoch spectropolarimetry of the superluminous interacting Type IIn supernova SN2017hcc, covering 16 to 391 days after explosion. In our first epoch we measure conti…
Eccentricity dynamics of wide binaries -- I. The effect of Galactic tides
Shaunak Modak, Chris Hamilton
A major puzzle concerning the wide stellar binaries (semimajor axes \,AU) in the Solar neighborhood is the origin of their observed superthermal eccentricity distrib…
Cosmic-Ray Driven Galactic Winds from the Warm Interstellar Medium
Shaunak Modak, Eliot Quataert, Yan-Fei Jiang +1
We study the properties of cosmic-ray (CR) driven galactic winds from the warm interstellar medium using idealized spherically symmetric time-dependent simulations. The key ingredi…
