A Comparative Systems-Engineering Framework for RFI Coexistence in Radio Astronomy and Aviation Safety Systems
Simthembile Dlamini
Radio astronomy and aviation safety systems occupy opposite ends of the signal-power spectrum, yet both depend on the same finite resource and are increasingly squeezed by commerci…
The PHANGS-Hα survey. Ground-based narrow-band imaging of nearby star-forming galaxies
Alessandro Razza, Guillermo A. Blanc, Brent Groves +36
We present PHANGS-Hα, a narrow-band imaging survey that maps Hα emission over a sample of 65 nearby massive star-forming galaxies. The data were obtained using the MPG-ESO 2.2-me…
The lifetime of 100,000 molecular clouds in the nearby Universe
Z. Bazzi, M. I. N. Kobayashi, D. Colombo +25
Multiple mechanisms are proposed for the formation of giant molecular clouds (GMCs), from gravitational free-fall caused by self-gravity to stellar feedback-driven gas compression.…
Fast Radio Burst Dispersion Measure--Timing Cross-Correlations: Bias Self-Calibration and Primordial Non-Gaussianity Constraints
Simthembile Dlamini
Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) carry fossil information about non-Gaussianity generated during inflation. This primordial signal is most accessible on the largest scales, where the scale…
Constraining the Sub-Galactic Relationship Between Star Formation and the Hot Interstellar Medium in NGC 4254
Erik B. Monson, Bret D. Lehmer, Amirnezam Amiri +17
We investigate the relationship between star formation and X-ray emission from the hot interstellar medium (ISM) on kpc scales in NGC 4254 (M99) by combining spatially resolv…
PHANGS-JWST: the largest extragalactic molecular cloud catalog traced by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon emission
Z. Bazzi, D. Colombo, F. Bigiel +25
High-resolution JWST images of nearby spiral galaxies reveal polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) emission structures that trace molecular gas, including CO-dark regions. We ident…
