AGN-driven outflows in dwarf galaxies from cosmological simulations: Internal properties and observational signatures
Elena Arjona-Gálvez, Arianna Di Cintio, Robert J. J. Grand +4
While AGN feedback is a key driver of massive galaxy evolution, its physical properties and observational signatures in the dwarf regime remain poorly understood. We investigate th…
JWST Reveals Compact Nuclear Starbursts Masquerading as AGNs in Metal-Poor Dwarfs: Where Are the Accreting Intermediate-Mass Black Holes?
William Matzko, Shobita Satyapal, Jeffrey D. Mckaig +19
We present JWST/NIRSpec spectroscopy of the low-mass, metal-poor galaxy SDSS~J160135.95+311353.7 (J1601), selected for its extreme mid-infrared colors and compact nuclear emission,…
The Galaxy's Guide to the Tokenizer: A Benchmark for Scientific Foundation Models
Sogol Sanjaripour, Michael J. Smith, Manuel Pérez-Carrasco +3
Tokenization is central to adapting scientific data for transformer-based foundation models, yet its impact on learned representations remains poorly understood. We compare four to…
Clumpy Disk, Interloper, or Merger? Nature of a Distant Galaxy Pair at 5 kpc Projected Separation
Hajar Aziz, Vivian U, Archana Aravindan +8
We present the morphological, photometric, and spectroscopic properties of a z ~ 1 galaxy, "lil gal", serendipitously detected in JWST Mid Infrared Instrument (MIRI) images of near…
Sparks: The Magellan/FIRE survey from starburst to post-starburst
Dalya Baron, David J. Setton, Yilun Ma +5
Rapid transitions from starburst to quiescence constitute a key evolutionary pathway in galaxy formation. Post-starburst galaxies trace this brief phase, exhibiting optical spectra…
A High Resolution Search for Dual AGN Candidates in Mergers: A Pre-Selection Strategy using Keck AO
Camilo Vazquez, S. Satyapal, G. Canalizo +20
Accreting supermassive black holes (SMBHs) in galaxy mergers with separations 1 kpc are crucial to our understanding of SMBH growth, galaxy evolution, and SMBH binary evolution…
