Lyman- $α$ Escape through Anisotropic Media

Silvia Almada Monter, Max Gronke, Seok-Jun Chang

The escape of Lyman- $α$ (Ly $α$ ) radiation encodes valuable information on the neutral interstellar medium and is often used as a proxy for the escape of ionizing photons. Yet, the…

Crossing walls and windows: the curious escape of Lyman- $α$ photons through ionised channels

Silvia Almada Monter, Max Gronke

The diverse Lyman-alpha (Ly $α$ ) line profiles are essential probes of gas in and around galaxies. While isotropic models can successfully reproduce a range of Ly $α$ observables, th…

A Sun-like star orbiting a black hole

Kareem El-Badry, Hans-Walter Rix, Eliot Quataert +18

We report discovery of a bright, nearby ( $G = 13.8; d = 480 pc$ ) Sun-like star orbiting a dark object. We identified the system as a black hole candidate via its astrometri…
