Charting the Galactic Underworld I: Comprehensive simulations of the kinematics, rates, and demographics of Milky Way black holes
Tom Wagg, Katelyn Breivik, Adrian M. Price-Whelan +3
With upcoming data from Roman, Gaia DR4, and spectroscopic surveys, we will soon have an unprecedented dataset of Milky Way black holes (BHs) to constrain their formation and evolu…
A new model for the continuum spectra of AM CVn binaries and multi-messenger inference with normalizing flows
Nathan Steinle, Samar Safi-Harb, Austin MacMaster +5
The paper presents a forward model that connects the physical parameters of AM CVn ultra‑compact binaries to their X‑ray, optical, and ultraviolet continuum emission, and estimates…
Searching for Stellar Activity Cycles using Flares II: The TESS CVZ
Tobin M. Wainer, Holland M. Stuart, Guadalupe Tovar Mendoza +3
The paper analyzes seven years of TESS short‑cadence data for over 14,000 stars in the Continuous Viewing Zone to detect long‑term changes in flare activity, identifying 17 stars w…
Implications of modern mass-loss rates for massive stars
JD Merritt, Simon Stevenson, Andreas Sander +7
Massive stars lose a significant fraction of their mass through stellar winds at various stages of their lives, including on the main sequence, during the red supergiant phase, and…
Streamlining and standardizing software citations with The Software Citation Station
Tom Wagg, Floor S. Broekgaarden
Software is crucial for the advancement of astronomy especially in the context of rapidly growing datasets that increasingly require algorithm and pipeline development to process t…
Stellar ejection velocities from the binary supernova scenario: A comparison across population synthesis codes
Tom Wagg, David D. Hendriks, Mathieu Renzo +1
The vast majority of binary systems are disrupted at the moment of the first supernova, resulting in an unbound compact object and companion star. These ejected companion stars con…
