Preimpact Detection of Chelyabinsk‐Type Objects in the Thermal Infrared: Possibilities and Limitations

open access: yesAdvances in Astronomy, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
The Chelyabinsk meteor entered Earth’s atmosphere on 15 February 2013, producing a shock wave that injured about 1500 people and damaged thousands of buildings. Despite its relatively large size (∼20 m), the progenitor asteroid approached Earth undetected. Its apparent radiant was too close to the Sun for standard ground‐based near‐Earth asteroid (NEA)

A Glimpse of Satellite Galaxies in the Milky Way with the 2.5 m Wide Field Survey Telescope (WFST): Boötes III and Draco

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We carry out deep imaging of the Milky Way satellite galaxies, Boötes III and Draco, with the Wide Field Survey Telescope (WFST) as one pilot observing program to demonstrate the capability of WFST. Combining catalogs with PS1 DR2 and Gaia DR3, we derive

Aliasing from Galactic Plane Setting in Widefield Radio Interferometry

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Measurements with widefield radio interferometers often include the near-infinite gradient between the sky and the horizon. This causes aliasing inherent to the measurement itself and is purely a consequence of the Fourier basis.

The DESI Bright Galaxy Survey: Final Target Selection, Design, and Validation

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 2023
Over the next 5 yr, the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) will use 10 spectrographs with 5000 fibers on the 4 m Mayall Telescope at Kitt Peak National Observatory to conduct the first Stage IV dark energy galaxy survey.

Antimatter Gravity and the Results of the ALPHA‐g Experiment

open access: yesAnnalen der Physik, Volume 536, Issue 7, July 2024.
The recent results of the ALPHA‐g experiment, which show gravitational attraction between antihydrogen atoms and the Earth, seem to undermine the success of repulsive‐gravity models in the cosmological field. Analyzing the theory of CPT gravity, two solutions are found that are consistent with the experimental results, while preserving the large‐scale ...

Mapping the Filamentary Nebula of NGC 1275 with Multiwavelength SITELLE Observations

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
The filamentary nebula encompassing the central galaxy of the Perseus Cluster, NGC 1275, is a complex structure extending dozens of kiloparsecs from NGC 1275.

A Large-scale Kinematic Study of Molecular Gas in High-z Cluster Galaxies: Evidence for High Levels of Kinematic Asymmetry

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We investigate the resolved kinematics of the molecular gas, as traced by the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array in CO (2−1), of 25 cluster member galaxies across three different clusters at a redshift of z ∼ 1.6.

Measurement of the Cosmic Optical Background using the Long Range Reconnaissance Imager on New Horizons

open access: yes, 2017
The cosmic optical background is an important observable that constrains energy production in stars and more exotic physical processes in the universe, and provides a crucial cosmological benchmark against which to judge theories of structure formation ...

Probing extreme black‐hole outflows on short timescales via high spectral‐resolution x‐ray imagers

open access: yesAstronomische Nachrichten, Volume 345, Issue 6-7, July-August 2024.
Abstract We investigate outflows and the physics of super‐Eddington versus sub‐Eddington regimes in black hole systems. Our focus is on prospective science using next‐generation high‐resolution soft x‐ray instruments. We highlight the properties of black hole ultraluminous x‐ray source (ULX) systems in particular. Owing to scale invariance in accreting

Galaxy and Mass Assembly (GAMA). The Properties of Quasar Host Galaxies: Star Formation Histories and Stellar Populations

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We investigated the star formation history and stellar populations of a sample of 205 Type I quasar host galaxies (0.1 < z < 0.35) and compared them with normal (nonactive) galaxies of the same mass and redshift within the volume of the Galaxy and Mass ...
