Constraining effective neutrino species with bispectrum of large scale structures
Yanlong Shi, Chen Heinrich, Olivier Doré
Relativistic and free-streaming particles like neutrinos leave imprints in large scale structures (LSS), providing probes of the effective number of neutrino species .…
Hyper-Eddington Black Hole Growth in Star-Forming Molecular Clouds and Galactic Nuclei: Can It Happen?
Yanlong Shi, Kyle Kremer, Michael Y. Grudić +2
Formation of supermassive black holes (BHs) remains a theoretical challenge. In many models, especially beginning from stellar relic "seeds," this requires sustained super-Eddingto…
Viscous and centrifugal instabilities of massive stars
Yanlong Shi, Jim Fuller
Massive stars exhibit a variety of instabilities, many of which are poorly understood. We explore instabilities induced by centrifugal forces and angular momentum transport in mass…
The mass budget for intermediate-mass black holes in dense star clusters
Yanlong Shi, Michael Y. Grudić, Philip F. Hopkins
Intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) could form via runaway merging of massive stars in a young massive star cluster (YMC). We combine a suite of numerical simulations of YMC form…
Reconstructing the baryon acoustic oscillations using biased tracers
Jack Birkin, Baojiu Li, Marius Cautun +1
The reconstruction of the initial conditions of the Universe is an important topic in cosmology, particularly in the context of sharpening the measurement of the baryon acoustic os…
New method for initial density reconstruction
Yanlong Shi, Marius Cautun, Baojiu Li
A theoretically interesting and practically important question in cosmology is the reconstruction of the initial density distribution provided a late-time density field. This is a…
MOND's Problem in Local Group
Yan-Chi Shi
I use the distances and motions of Local Group galaxies to test Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND). The old Local Group timing argument of Kahn & Woltjer, which assumed Newtonian g…
Testing of MOND with Local Group Timing
Yan-Chi Shi
The timing of the Local Group is used to test Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND). The result shows that the masses predicted by MOND are well below the baryonic contents of the Mil…
