A semi-supervised Machine Learning search for never-seen Gravitational-Wave sources

Tom Marianer, Dovi Poznanski, J. Xavier Prochaska

By now, tens of gravitational-wave (GW) events have been detected by the LIGO and Virgo detectors. These GWs have all been emitted by compact binary coalescence, for which we have…

Host Galaxy Properties and Offset Distributions of Fast Radio Bursts: Implications for their Progenitors

Kasper E. Heintz, J. Xavier Prochaska, Sunil Simha +15

We present observations and detailed characterizations of five new host galaxies of fast radio bursts (FRBs) discovered with the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP…

On the Environments of Giant Radio Galaxies

Ting-Wen Lan, J. Xavier Prochaska

We test the hypothesis that environments play a key role in enabling the growth of enormous radio structures spanning more than 700 kpc, an extreme population of radio galaxies cal…

A census of baryons in the Universe from localized fast radio bursts

J. -P. Macquart, J. X. Prochaska, M. McQuinn +13

More than three quarters of the baryonic content of the Universe resides in a highly diffuse state that is difficult to observe, with only a small fraction directly observed in gal…

Spectropolarimetric analysis of FRB 181112 at microsecond resolution: Implications for Fast Radio Burst emission mechanism

Hyerin Cho, Jean-Pierre Macquart, Ryan M. Shannon +14

We have developed a new coherent dedispersion mode to study the emission of Fast Radio Bursts that trigger the voltage capture capability of the Australian SKA Pathfinder (ASKAP) i…

The cold circumgalactic environment of MAMMOTH-I: dynamically cold gas in the core of an Enormous Ly-alpha Nebula

Bjorn Emonts, Zheng Cai, Xavier Prochaska +2

The MAMMOTH-I Nebula at redshift 2.3 is one of the largest known Ly-alpha nebulae in the Universe, spanning ~440 kpc. Enormous Ly-alpha nebulae like MAMMOTH-I typically trace the d…
