Classical novae and type I X-ray bursts: Challenges for the 21st century
AIP Advances, 2014 Classical nova explosions and type I X-ray bursts are the most frequent types of thermonuclear stellar explosions in the Galaxy. Both phenomena arise from thermonuclear ignition in the envelopes of accreting compact objects in close binary star systems ...

On the Non-Thermal Energy Content of Cosmic Structures
Galaxies, 2016 (1) Background: the budget of non-thermal energy in galaxy clusters is not well constrained, owing to the observational and theoretical difficulties in studying these diluted plasmas on large scales; (2) Method: we use recent cosmological simulations ...

Episodic Star Formation. I. Overview and Scatter of the Star-forming Main Sequence
The Astrophysical JournalThere is mounting evidence for episodic star formation cycles in both high- and low-redshift galaxies. This paper aims to understand the detailed physical processes behind such behaviors and investigate how such an episodic star-forming scenario can ...

Insights into Galaxy Evolution from Interpretable Sparse Feature Networks
The Astrophysical JournalGalaxy appearances reveal the physics of how they formed and evolved. Machine learning (ML) models can now exploit galaxies’ information-rich morphologies to predict physical properties directly from image cutouts. Learning the relationship between pixel-

DiffstarPop: A generative physical model of galaxy star formation history
The Open Journal of AstrophysicsWe present DiffstarPop, a differentiable forward model of cosmological populations of galaxy star formation histories (SFH). In the model, individual galaxy SFH is parametrized by Diffstar, which has parameters $θ_{\rm SFH}$ that have a direct ...

The Impact of Void-finding Algorithms on Galaxy Classification
The Astrophysical JournalWe explore how the definition of a void influences the conclusions drawn about the impact of the void environment on galactic properties using two void-finding algorithms in the Void Analysis Software Toolkit: Voronoi Voids ( V ^2 ), a Python ...

Where giants dwell: Probing the environments of early massive quiescent galaxies
Astronomy & AstrophysicsWe investigated the environments of massive quiescent galaxies at 3 ≲ z ≲ 5 using the GAlaxy Evolution and Assembly (GAEA) theoretical model. We selected galaxies with stellar mass above 1010.8 M⊙ and specific star formation rates below 0.3 × t−1 ...
