Exploring the AGN-ram pressure stripping connection in local clusters
Giorgia Peluso, Benedetta Vulcani, Bianca M. Poggianti +8
Ram-pressure stripping by the intracluster medium (ICM) is one of the most advocated mechanisms that affect the properties of cluster galaxies. A recent study based on a small samp…
Evidence for mixing between ICM and stripped ISM by the analysis of the gas metallicity in the tails of jellyfish galaxies
Andrea Franchetto, Stephanie Tonnesen, Bianca M. Poggianti +11
Hydrodynamical simulations show that the ram-pressure stripping in galaxy clusters fosters a strong interaction between stripped interstellar medium (ISM) and the surrounding mediu…
Measuring the properties of active galactic nuclei disks with gravitational waves
Avi Vajpeyi, Eric Thrane, Rory Smith +2
Active galactic nuclei (AGN) are promising environments for the assembly of merging binary black hole (BBH) systems. Interest in AGNs as nurseries for merging BBH is rising followi…
VERTICO: The Virgo Environment Traced In CO Survey
Toby Brown, Christine D. Wilson, Nikki Zabel +33
We present the Virgo Environment Traced in CO (VERTICO) survey, a new effort to map CO(), CO(), and CO() in 51 Virgo Cluster galaxies with the A…
The Galaxy Replacement Technique (GRT): a New Approach to Study Tidal Stripping and Formation of Intracluster Light in a Cosmological Context
Kyungwon Chun, Jihye Shin, Rory Smith +2
We introduce the Galaxy Replacement Technique (GRT) that allows us to model tidal stripping of galaxies with very high-mass (m~M/h) and high-spa…
A novel approach for calculating galaxy rotation curves using spaxel cross-correlation and iterative smoothing
Satadru Bag, Arman Shafieloo, Rory Smith +5
Precise measurements of the internal dynamics of galaxies have proven of great importance for understanding the internal dark matter distribution of galaxies. We present a novel me…
GW200115: a non-spinning black hole -- neutron star merger
Ilya Mandel, Rory J. E. Smith
GW200115 was the second merger of a black hole and a neutron star confidently detected through gravitational waves. Inference on the signal allows for a large black hole spin misal…
Multiwavelength Analysis of A1240, the Double Radio Relic Merging Galaxy Cluster Embedded in a ~80 Mpc-long Cosmic Filament
Hyejeon Cho, M. James Jee, Rory Smith +2
We present a multiwavelength study of the double radio relic cluster A1240 at z=0.195. Our Subaru-based weak lensing analysis detects three mass clumps forming a ~4 Mpc filamentary…
Inference with finite time series: Observing the gravitational Universe through windows
Colm Talbot, Eric Thrane, Sylvia Biscoveanu +1
Time series analysis is ubiquitous in many fields of science including gravitational-wave astronomy, where strain time series are analyzed to infer the nature of gravitational-wave…
High-precision source characterization of intermediate mass-ratio black hole coalescences with gravitational waves: The importance of higher-order multipoles
Tousif Islam, Scott E. Field, Carl-Johan Haster +1
Intermediate mass ratio inspiral (IMRI) binaries -- containing stellar-mass black holes coalescing into intermediate-mass black holes () -- are a highly anticipated…
Brought to Light II: Revealing the Origins of Cloaked Spiral Features in Cluster Passive Dwarf Galaxies
Rory Smith, Josefina Michea, Anna Pasquali +8
In our companion paper (Brought to Light I: Michea et al. 2021), we reveal spectacular spiral galaxy-like features in deep optical imaging of nine Virgo early-type dwarf galaxies,…
Brought to Light I: Quantification of Disk Substructure in Dwarf Early-Type Galaxies
Josefina Michea, Anna Pasquali, Rory Smith +4
Dwarf early-type galaxies (ETGs) display a rich diversity in their photometric, structural, and dynamical properties. In this work, we address their structural complexity by studyi…
Bayesian inference for gravitational waves from binary neutron star mergers in third-generation observatories
Rory Smith, Ssohrab Borhanian, Bangalore Sathyaprakash +10
Third-generation (3G) gravitational-wave detectors will observe thousands of coalescing neutron star binaries with unprecedented fidelity. Extracting the highest precision science…
Temperature dependent appearance of exotic matter makes nascent neutron stars spin faster
Francisco Hernandez-Vivanco, Paul D. Lasky, Eric Thrane +5
Neutron stars offer the opportunity to study the behaviour of matter at densities and temperatures inaccessible to terrestrial experiments. Gravitational-wave observations of binar…
