The Chemistry of the Milky Way: From Micro- to Macro-Physics

open access: yes
The Chemistry of the Milky Way: From Micro- to Macro-Physics. The physics of galaxy formation in the early Universe is driving the development of billion-dollar investments such as the Next Generation Space Telescope and the Square Kilometre Array.

Testing the dark matter caustic theory against observations in the Milky Way

open access: yes, 2015
August 2015School of ScienceWe test a particular theory of dark matter in which dark matter axions form ring ``caustics" in the plane of the Milky Way, against the observations of Milky Way stars. According to this theory, cold, collisionless dark matter

Molecular Clouds Resolved at the Onset of Cosmic Noon

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
We present the discovery of seven molecular clouds in the radio galaxy B2 0902+34 at redshift z = 3.4. These clouds are detected as CO(0–1) absorption features against the bright radio continuum and spectrally resolved using the Karl G. Jansky Very Large

A Turbulent Framework for Star Formation in High-redshift Galaxies

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Observations of distant galaxies suggest that the physics of galaxy formation at high redshifts differs significantly from later times. In contrast to large, steady disk galaxies like the Milky Way, high-redshift galaxies are often characterized by ...

Close Encounters of Wide Binaries Induced by the Galactic Tide: Implications for Stellar Mergers and Gravitational-wave Sources

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
A substantial fraction of stars can be found in wide binaries with projected separations between ∼10 ^2 and 10 ^5 au. In the standard lore of binary physics, these would evolve as effectively single stars that remotely orbit one another on stationary ...

Dark matter substructure in the Milky Way

open access: yes
The standard Lambda-CDM cosmological model predicts a wealth of small-scale structures, including dark matter subhalos residing within more massive halos such as that of our own Milky Way galaxy. While some of these subhalos may be massive enough to host

Improving H2RG Performance in SPHEREx Brassboard Model

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series
Spectro-Photometer for the History of the Universe, Epoch of Reionization, and Ices Explorer is an upcoming NASA satellite mission to study the physics of inflation, the history of galaxy formation, and the abundance of biogenic ices in the Milky Way ...

Pressure-regulated Feedback-modulated Star Formation as a Subgrid Model for Galaxy Formation Simulations

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We present a new subgrid model for interstellar gas evolution in cosmological simulations of galaxy formation, based on the pressure-regulated, feedback-modulated (PRFM) theory of star formation.
