Unique probe of dark matter in the core of M87 with the Event Horizon Telescope
Thomas Lacroix, Mansour Karami, Avery E. Broderick +2
We demonstrate the unprecedented capabilities of the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) to image the innermost dark matter profile in the vicinity of the supermassive black hole at the…
A free-form lensing model of A370 revealing stellar mass dominated BCGs, in Hubble Frontier Fields images
Jose M. Diego, Kasper B. Schmidt, Tom Broadhurst +9
We derive a free-form mass distribution for the unrelaxed cluster A370 (z=0.375), using the latest Hubble Frontier Fields images and GLASS spectroscopy. Starting from a reliable se…
The Most Massive Galaxies and Black Holes Allowed by CDM
Peter Behroozi, Joseph Silk
Given a galaxy's stellar mass, its host halo mass has a lower limit from the cosmic baryon fraction and known baryonic physics. At z>4, galaxy stellar mass functions place lower li…
AGN Outflow Shocks on Bonnor-Ebert Spheres
Zachary Dugan, Volker Gaibler, Rebekka Bieri +2
Feedback from Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) and subsequent jet cocoons and outflow bubbles can have a significant impact on star formation in the host galaxy. To investigate feedbac…
Feedback by AGN Jets and Wide-Angle Winds on a Galactic Scale
Zachary Dugan, Volker Gaibler, Joseph Silk
To investigate the differences in mechanical feedback from radio-loud and radio-quiet Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) on the host galaxy, we perform 3D AMR hydrodynamic simulations of…
Galaxy Quenching from Cosmic Web Detachment
Miguel A. Aragon-Calvo, Mark C. Neyrinck, Joseph Silk
We propose the Cosmic Web Detachment (CWD) model, a framework to interpret the star-formation history of galaxies in a cosmological context. The CWD model unifies several starvatio…
Outflows Driven by Quasars in High-Redshift Galaxies with Radiation Hydrodynamics
Rebekka Bieri, Yohan Dubois, Joakim Rosdahl +3
The quasar mode of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) in the high-redshift Universe is routinely observed in gas-rich galaxies together with large-scale AGN-driven winds. It is crucial t…
Comparing Simulations of AGN Feedback
Mark L. A. Richardson, Evan Scannapieco, Julien Devriendt +5
We perform adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) and smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) cosmological zoom simulations of a region around a forming galaxy cluster, comparing the ability…
Evolution of dispersion in the cosmic deuterium abundance
Irina Dvorkin, Elisabeth Vangioni, Joseph Silk +2
Deuterium is created during Big Bang Nucleosynthesis, and, in contrast to the other light stable nuclei, can only be destroyed thereafter by fusion in stellar interiors. In this pa…
Hubble Space Telescope Wide Field Camera 3 Observations of Escaping Lyman Continuum Radiation from Galaxies and Weak AGN at Redshifts 2.3-4.1
Brent M. Smith, Rogier A. Windhorst, Rolf A. Jansen +9
We present observations of escaping Lyman Continuum (LyC) radiation from 34 massive star-forming galaxies and 12 weak AGN with reliably measured spectroscopic redshifts at $\sim…
