A Long Period Stellar-Mass Black Hole Binary in Centauri

Matthew Whitaker, Evan Kerr, Anil Seth +16

Modern simulations of stellar dynamics in globular clusters peg a dominant role for stellar-mass black holes, but direct evidence for black holes in clusters remains limited. We pr…

The Intermediate Mass Black Hole in Omega Centauri: Constraints on Accretion from JWST

Steven Chen, Jeremy Hare, Oleg Kargaltsev +4

We analyze JWST observations of the central region of the globular cluster Centauri (NGC 5139, Cen hereafter), around the position of the candidate IMBH inferred by \cite…

A 5kHz modulator for pyramid wavefront sensors

Maximilian Häberle, Vianak Naranjo, Yared Reinarz +5

Despite the emergence of new types of wavefront sensors, the modulated pyramid wavefront sensor remains the workhorse for ELT instrumentation, and is among the options even for adv…

oMEGACat. VIII. A Subpopulation Census of ω Centauri

C. Clontz, A. C. Seth, Z. Wang +8

An understanding of the assembly history of the complex star cluster Omega Centauri has long been sought after, with many studies separating the stars on the color-magnitude diagra…

oMEGACat. VII. Tracing Interstellar and Intracluster Medium of Centauri using Sodium Absorptions

Z. Wang, A. C. Seth, M. Latour +14

We investigate the foreground interstellar medium along the line of sight and intracluster medium of Centauri ( Cen) by measuring the equivalent width of Na I D absorption…

Studying Binary Systems in Omega Centauri with MUSE: II. Observational constraints on the orbital period distribution

S. Saracino, S. Kamann, F. Wragg +8

Omega Centauri ( Cen) is one of the most complex star clusters in the Milky Way, and likely the stripped nucleus of an accreted dwarf galaxy. Being the subject of debate betwee…
