Wandering intermediate-mass black holes and off-nuclear tidal disruption events from early star clusters
Claire E. Williams, Smadar Naoz, Yihao Zhou +9
Off-nuclear tidal disruption events (TDEs) reveal evidence for massive black holes outside galactic centers, but the origins of this wandering population remain uncertain. We inves…
A concordance model of neutron star kicks
Cheyanne Shariat, Kareem El-Badry, Smadar Naoz
Neutron stars (NSs) receive natal kicks during supernovae that affect their survival in binaries and motion through the Galaxy. The global distribution of these kick velocities acr…
Do we understand the star formation history of the universe?
Sahil Hegde, Steven R. Furlanetto, Smadar Naoz
The evolving relationship between a galaxy's mass and star formation rate -- the so-called `star-forming main sequence' (MS) -- provides a critical benchmark for understanding star…
Discovery of an Inflated Hot Neptune and Its Formation from Jovian Mass Loss
Grant C. Weldon, Samuel W. Yee, Bradley M. S. Hansen +17
The production of Neptune-like planets with orbital periods of 3--6 days is challenging for conventional models of high-eccentricity migration. We present the discovery and charact…
Eccentric Stellar-mass Binary Black Holes: Population, Detectability, and Waveform Analysis in the LISA and LIGO Era
Zeyuan Xuan, Smadar Naoz, Kyle Kremer +3
Eccentric binary black holes (BBHs) formed through dynamical interactions can significantly contribute to gravitational wave (GW) detections. In this work, we present a simulated c…
Observational and Dynamical Constraints on an Unseen Outer Perturber in the GJ 436 Hot Neptune System
Haedam Im, Tiger Lu, Malena Rice +3
Hot Neptunes in the sub-Jovian desert offer unique insights into planetary system evolution, retaining signatures of dynamical processes that shaped their present-day architectures…
