Picture an Astronomer: Best Practices for Retaining Talent in Astrophysics
Ava Polzin, Katherine E. Whitaker, C. Megan Urry +85
Women are consistently underrepresented in astrophysics yet are simultaneously subject to disproportionate attrition at every career stage. This disparity between demonstrated effi…
FEADME: Fast Elliptical Accretion Disk Modeling Engine
Nicholas Earl, K. Decker French, Jason T. Hinkle +5
We present FEADME (Fast Elliptical Accretion Disk Modeling Engine), a GPU-accelerated Python framework for modeling broad Balmer-line emission with a relativistic elliptical accret…
Meet the Neighbors: Gas Rich "Buddy Galaxies" are Common Around Recently Quenched Massive Galaxies in the SQuIGGE Survey
Anika Kumar, David J. Setton, Rachel Bezanson +7
In this work, we characterize the environments of massive () post-starburst galaxies (PSBs) by studying serendipitously-detected CO(2-1) e…
SQuIGGE: Buried star formation cannot explain the rapidly fading CO(2-1) luminosity in massive, post-starburst galaxies
David J. Setton, Justin S. Spilker, Rachel Bezanson +12
Observational and theoretical studies have long held that rapid gas consumption in starbursts is responsible for the formation of quiescent galaxies. However, studies of recently q…
Radio Variability in Recently-Quenched Galaxies: The Impact of TDE or AGN Driven Outflows
K. Decker French, Kristina Nyland, Pallavi Patil +7
Outflows and jets launched from the nuclei of galaxies emit radio synchrotron emission that can be used to study the impact of accretion energy on the host galaxy. The decades-long…
Unusually High Gas-to-Dust Ratios Observed in High-Redshift Quiescent Galaxies
Justin S. Spilker, Katherine E. Whitaker, Desika Narayanan +15
Tracking the cold molecular gas contents of galaxies is critical to understand the interplay between star formation and galaxy growth across cosmic time. Observations of the long-w…
Modeling Star Formation Histories of Changing-Look AGN Host Galaxies with Prospector
Margaret E. Verrico, K. Decker French, Katherine Suess +7
Changing-look active galactic nuclei, or CL-AGN, are AGN which appear to transition between Seyfert Type 1 and 2 over periods of months to years. Several mechanisms to trigger thes…
Cold gas in a post-starburst pair at z ~ 1.4: major mergers as a pathway to quenching in the HeavyMetal survey
Katherine A. Suess, Aliza G. Beverage, Mariska Kriek +12
Recent observations at low redshift have revealed that some post-starburst galaxies retain significant molecular gas reservoirs despite low ongoing star formation rates, challengin…
A Large-Scale Search for Photometrically Variable AGNs in Dwarf Galaxies Using the Young Supernova Experiment
Alexander Messick, Vivienne Baldassare, David O. Jones +12
We conduct an analysis of over 60,000 dwarf galaxies (7<=log(M_*/M_\odot)<=10) in search of photometric variability indicative of active galactic nuclei (AGNs). Using data from the…
