Xiaoyu Hong, Weiren Wu, Qinghui Liu +47
The Lunar Orbital VLBI Experiment (LOVEX) is a scientific component of the Chinese Lunar Exploration Project (CLEP) Chang'E-7. The spaceborne component of LOVEX is implemented onbo…
Proper Motion and Natal Kick in the Galactic Black Hole X-ray Binary AT2019wey
Lang Cui, Pengfei Jiang, Tao An +9
Understanding the formation mechanisms of stellar-mass black holes in X-ray binaries (BHXBs) remains a fundamental challenge in astrophysics. The natal kick velocities imparted dur…
Constraints on the fractional changes of the fundamental constants at a look-back time of 2.5 Myrs
Renzhi Su, Tao An, Stephen J. Curran +3
The quantum nature of gravity remains one of the greatest mysteries of modern physics, with many unified theories predicting variations in fundamental constants across space and ti…
First Detection of Radio Emission from the Intermediate Mass Black Hole in POX 52: Deep Multi-Band Observations with ATCA and VLA
Qi Yuan, Hengxiao Guo, Minfeng Gu +14
We present the first multi-band centimeter detection of POX 52, a nearby dwarf galaxy believed to habor a robust intermediate mass black hole (IMBH). We conducted the deep observat…
