Slant, Fan, and Narrow: The Response of Stellar Streams to a Tilting Galactic Disk

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Stellar streams are sensitive tracers of the gravitational potential, which is typically assumed to be static in the inner Galaxy. However, massive mergers like Gaia-Sausage-Enceladus can impart torques on the stellar disk of the Milky Way that result in

Stellar streams around dwarf galaxies in the local Universe

open access: yesAstronomy & Astrophysics
Context. While mergers between massive galaxies and their dwarf satellites have been well studied, the properties of dwarf–dwarf satellite mergers are not well constrained.

Bio‐Inspired Artificial Ionic Mechanoreceptor

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A skin‐inspired artificial mechanoreceptor based on ionic interactions is presented for biomimetic tactile sensing. Pressure‐driven ionic redistribution within microfluidic channels generates a self‐powered electrical signal without external bias. The generated waveform exhibits mechanoreceptor‐like temporal features, including overshoot and undershoot,

Dynamical modelling of stellar streams in a cosmological setting [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Stellar streams are created when small groups of stars such as dwarf galaxies and globular clusters are torn apart by tides as they move around a larger galaxy. In the case of the Milky Way, it is believed that the stellar halo is full of such structures.

StarStream on Gaia: Stream Discovery and Mass-loss Rate of Globular Clusters

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series
We apply the automatic stellar stream detection algorithm StarStream to Gaia Data Release 3 and identify 87 stellar streams associated with Galactic globular clusters (GCs), including 34 high-quality cases with median completeness and purity both ...

Dirac‐Source Linear X‐Ray Detection Diode

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Monolayer graphene imparts near linear current‐voltage behavior to a perovskite X‐ray detection diode, contrasting with conventional diode‐like responses. Exploiting graphene's Dirac dispersion and a Schottky‐like back‐to‐back junction, the device achieves six‐orders‐of‐magnitude dark current suppression while retaining linearity over 200 V, enabling ...

Contrastive learning of extragalactic stellar streams

open access: yesAstronomy & Astrophysics
We present a self-supervised approach for characterizing low-surface-brightness tidal features in wide-field imaging data by applying the nearest-neighbor contrastive learning of visual representations (NNCLR) algorithm to a curated subset of the Dark ...

The Density Structure of Simulated Stellar Streams [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2020
Abstract Star particles in a set of dense clusters are self-consistently evolved within an LCDM dark matter distribution with an n-body code. The clusters are started on nearly circular orbits in the more massive sub-halos. Each cluster develops a stellar tidal stream, initially within its original sub-halo.
