Unpacking Merger Jets: A Bayesian Analysis of GW170817, GW190425 and Electromagnetic Observations of Short Gamma-Ray Bursts

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We present a novel fully Bayesian analysis to constrain short gamma-ray burst (sGRB) jet structures associated with cocoon, wide-angle, and simple top-hat jet models, as well as the binary neutron star (BNS) merger rate.

The Faint End of the Centaurus A Satellite Luminosity Function [PDF]

open access: yesAstrophysical Journal, 2018
The Panoramic Imaging Survey of Centaurus and Sculptor (PISCeS) is constructing a wide-field map of the resolved stellar populations in the extended halos of these two nearby, prominent galaxies.

Evolution of Galaxy Luminosity Function and Luminosity Function by Density Environment at 0.03 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Using galaxy sample observed by the BATC large-field multi-color sky survey and galaxy data of SDSS in the overlapped fields, we study the dependence of the restframe $r$-band galaxy luminosity function on redshift and on large-scale environment.

Axions and the luminosity function of white dwarfs: the thin and thick discs, and the halo [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The evolution of white dwarfs is a simple gravothermal process of cooling. Since the shape of their luminosity function is sensitive to the characteristic cooling time, it is possible to use its slope to test the existence of additional sources or sinks ...

Luminosities of Carbon-rich Asymptotic Giant Branch stars in the Milky Way [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Stars evolving along the Asymptotic Giant Branch can become Carbon-rich in the final part of their evolution. They replenish the inter-stellar medium with nuclear processed material via strong radiative stellar winds.

Padé Approximant and Minimax Rational Approximation in Standard Cosmology

open access: yesGalaxies, 2016
The luminosity distance in the standard cosmology as given by ΛCDM and, consequently, the distance modulus for supernovae can be defined by the Padé approximant.

The Luminosity Function of Tidal Disruption Events from Fallback-powered Emission: Implications for the Black Hole Mass Function

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023
Tidal disruption events (TDEs), in which a star is destroyed by the gravitational field of a supermassive black hole (SMBH), are being observed at a high rate owing to the advanced state of survey science.

The Faint End of the z = 5 Quasar Luminosity Function from the CFHTLS [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
We present results from a spectroscopic survey of z ∼ 5 quasars in the CFHT Legacy Survey. Using both optical color selection and a likelihood method, we select 97 candidates over an area of 105 deg2 to a limit of iAB < 23.2, and 7 candidates in the ...

The Quasar Luminosity Function [PDF]

open access: yesSymposium - International Astronomical Union, 1996
Recent results at high redshifts are briefly reviewed. An analysis of the evolution of the quasar luminosity function based on the recently published Hawkins & Véron (1995) variability-selected quasar sample is presented. The results support the conclusions of earlier work that suggested the simple two power law luminosity function, of invariant ...
