Fast Radio Bursts from White Dwarf Binary Mergers: Isolated and Triple-Induced Channels
Cheyanne Shariat, Claire S. Ye, Smadar Naoz +1
The detection of fast radio bursts (FRBs) in both young and old stellar populations suggests multiple formation pathways, beyond just young magnetars from core-collapse supernovae.…
Saving Doomed Planets: Mass Loss and Angular Momentum Return Boost Hot Jupiter Survival Rates
Grant C. Weldon, Bradley M. S. Hansen, Smadar Naoz
The existence of giant extrasolar planets on short-period orbits ("hot Jupiters") challenges planet formation theories because such planets are difficult to form close to the star.…
Observing compact Pop III star clusters and the presence of cosmic streaming
Claire E. Williams, Smadar Naoz, Naoki Yoshida +7
The formation of the Universe's first luminous stellar structures depends on the unique conditions at "Cosmic Dawn," which are set by the underlying cosmological model and early ba…
Possible Dynamical Pathways to the Misalignment of the VHS 1256-1257 System
Liz Holzknecht, Smadar Naoz, Cheyanne Shariat
Circumbinary planets (CBPs) provide a unique window into planet formation and dynamical evolution in complex gravitational environments. Their orbits are shaped not only by the pro…
Triples as Links between Binary Black Hole Mergers, their Electromagnetic Counterparts, and Galactic Black Holes
Smadar Naoz, Zoltan Haiman, Eliot Quataert +1
We propose a formation pathway linking black holes (BHs) observed in gravitational-wave (GW) mergers, wide BH-stellar systems uncovered by Gaia, and accreting low-mass X-ray binari…
From Wide Triples to UCXBs: Multimessenger Signatures of Dynamically-formed Black Hole-White Dwarf Systems in the LISA Band
Zeyuan Xuan, Cheyanne Shariat, Smadar Naoz
Ultracompact X-ray binaries (UCXBs) are a subclass of low-mass X-ray binaries characterized by tight orbits and degenerate donors, which pose significant challenges to our understa…
