Modeling Photoionized Turbulent Material in the Circumgalactic Medium III: Effects of Co-rotation and Magnetic Fields

Edward Buie, Evan Scannapieco, G. Mark Voit

Absorption-line measurements of the circumgalactic medium (CGM) display a highly non-uniform distribution of lower ionization state species accompanied by more widespread higher io…

A Statistical Detection of Wide Binary Systems in the Ultra-Faint Dwarf Galaxy Reticulum II

Mohammadtaher Safarzadeh, Joshua D. Simon, Abraham Loeb

Binary stars can inflate the observed velocity dispersion of stars in dark matter dominated systems such as ultra-faint dwarf galaxies (UFDs). However, the population of binaries i…

A New Challenge for Dark Matter Models

Mohammadtaher Safarzadeh, Abraham Loeb

Cold dark matter (CDM) has faced a number of challenges mainly at small scales, such as the too-big-to-fail problem, and core-cusp density profile of dwarf galaxies. Such problems…

The Challenge to MOND from ultra faint dwarf galaxies

Mohammadtaher Safarzadeh, Abraham Loeb

Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND) at low acceleration has been astonishingly powerful at explaining the flat rotation curve of galaxies and the relation between the baryonic conte…

Modeling Photoionized Turbulent Material in the Circumgalactic Medium II: Effect of Turbulence within a Stratified Medium

Edward Buie, William J. Gray, Evan Scannapieco +1

The circumgalactic medium (CGM) of nearby star-forming galaxies shows clear indications of OVI absorption accompanied by little to no detectable NV absorption. This unusual spectra…

Measuring the delay time distribution of binary neutron stars. I. Through Scaling Relations of the Host Galaxies of Gravitational Wave Events

Mohammadtaher Safarzadeh, Edo Berger

The delay time distribution of (DTD) of binary neutron stars (BNS) remains poorly constrained, mainly by the small known population of Galactic binaries, the properties of short ga…
