A New Model for the Milky Way Halo Dispersion Measure with the ENGAWA Simulations: Low DMs and Large Anisotropy

Scott Lucchini, Liam Connor, Samuel McCarty +1

Fast radio burst (FRB) dispersion measures (DMs) are powerful tracers of the low density universe, but interpretation is made difficult by the integrated nature of DM. In this pape…

The CGM with local universe FRBs: evidence of strong AGN feedback in a massive elliptical galaxy

Samuel McCarty, Liam Connor, Ralf M. Konietzka

Modern cosmology and galaxy formation rely on an understanding of how cosmic baryons are distributed, a significant portion of which exist in the diffuse gas confined to halos. Fas…

Ray-tracing Fast Radio Bursts Through IllustrisTNG: Cosmological Dispersion Measures from Redshift 0 to 5.5

Ralf M. Konietzka, Liam Connor, Vadim A. Semenov +3

The dispersion measures (DMs) of Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) arise predominantly from free electrons in the large-scale structure of the Universe. The increasing number of FRB observa…

A Correlation Between FRB Dispersion Measure and Foreground Large-Scale Structure

Maryam Hussaini, Liam Connor, Ralf M. Konietzka +4

The distribution of baryons in the Universe remains a fundamental open question in astronomy, and the dispersion measure (DM) of Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) serves as a valuable tool…

The Origin of the Cluster of Local Interstellar Clouds

Catherine Zucker, Seth Redfield, Sara Starecheski +2

The interstellar medium within of the Sun consists of a complex of fifteen diffuse, partially ionized clouds. Located within the Local Bubble, these clouds, k…

The physical properties of Cluster Chains

Laura Posch, João Alves, Nuria Mirét-Roig +5

We explore the kinematics and star formation history of the Scorpius Centaurus (Sco-Cen) OB association following the initial identification of sequential, linearly aligned chains…

A gas-rich cosmic web revealed by the partitioning of the missing baryons

Liam Connor, Vikram Ravi, Kritti Sharma +17

Approximately half of the Universe's dark matter resides in collapsed halos; significantly less than half of the baryonic matter (protons and neutrons) remains confined to halos. A…

Most nearby young star clusters formed in three massive complexes

Cameren Swiggum, João Alves, Robert Benjamin +9

Efforts to unveil the structure of the local interstellar medium and its recent star formation history have spanned the past seventy years. Recent studies utilizing precise data fr…

The Radcliffe Wave is Oscillating

Ralf Konietzka, Alyssa A. Goodman, Catherine Zucker +6

Our Sun lies within 300 pc of the 2.7-kpc-long sinusoidal chain of dense gas clouds known as the Radcliffe Wave. The structure's wave-like shape was discovered using 3D dust mappin…

Insights into star formation and dispersal from the synchronisation of stellar clocks

Núria Miret Roig, João Alves, David Barrado +3

Age is one of the most fundamental parameters of stars, yet it is one of the hardest to determine as it requires modelling various aspects of stellar formation and evolution. When…

A 3D View of Orion: I. Barnard's Loop

Michael M. Foley, Alyssa Goodman, Catherine Zucker +11

Barnard's Loop is a famous arc of H emission located in the Orion star-forming region. Here, we provide evidence of a possible formation mechanism for Barnard's Loop and compare…
