by numerically inverting the tolman-oppenheimer-volkov (tov) equation using an explicitly isospin-dependent parametric equation of state (eos) of dense neutron-rich nucleonic matter, a restricted eos parameter space is established using observational constraints on the radius, maximum mass, tidal deformability and caus...
extracting nuclear symmetry energies at high densities from observations of neutron stars and gravitational waves
stars and planets both form by accreting material from a surrounding disk. because they grow from the same material, theory predicts that there should be a relationship between their compositions. in this study, we search for a compositional link between rocky exoplanets and their host stars. we estimate the iron-mass ...

the mean free path of ionizing photons, λmfp, is a key factor in the photoionization of the intergalactic medium (igm). at z ≳ 5, however, λmfp may be short enough that measurements towards qsos are biased by the qso proximity effect. we present new direct measurements of λmfp that address this bias and extend up to z ...

pair-instability and pulsational pair-instability supernovae (ppisne) have not been unambiguously observed so far. they are, however, promising candidates for the progenitors of the heaviest binary black hole (bbh) mergers detected. if these bbhs are the product of binary evolution, then ppisne could occur in very clos...

elements heavier than zinc are synthesized through the rapid (r) and slow (s) neutron-capture processes. the main site of production of the r-process elements (such as europium) has been debated for nearly 60 years. initial studies of trends in chemical abundances in old milky way halo stars suggested that these elemen...

axionlike dark matter whose symmetry breaking occurs after the end of inflation predicts enhanced primordial density fluctuations at small scales. this leads to dense axion minihalos (or miniclusters) forming early in the history of the universe. condensation of axions in the minihalos leads to the formation and subseq...

gravitational wave observations of gw170817 placed bounds on the tidal deformabilities of compact stars, allowing one to probe equations of state for matter at supranuclear densities. here we design new parametrizations for hybrid hadron-quark equations of state, which give rise to low-mass twin stars, and test them ag...

all stellar-mass black holes have hitherto been identified by x-rays emitted from gas that is accreting onto the black hole from a companion star. these systems are all binaries with a black-hole mass that is less than 30 times that of the sun1-4. theory predicts, however, that x-ray-emitting systems form a minority of...

exoplanet discoveries of recent years have provided a great deal of new data for studying the bulk compositions of giant planets. here we identify 47 transiting giant planets (20 m ⊕ < m < 20 m j) whose stellar insolations are low enough (f * < 2 × 108 erg s-1 cm-2, or roughly t eff < 1000) that they are no...
the mass-metallicity relation for giant planets
in this paper, we present the galex-sdss-wise legacy catalog (gswlc), a catalog of physical properties (stellar masses, dust attenuations, and star formation rates [sfrs]) for ∼700,000 galaxies with sloan digital sky survey (sdss) redshifts below 0.3. gswlc contains galaxies within the galaxy evolution explorer footpri...
galex-sdss-wise legacy catalog (gswlc): star formation rates, stellar masses, and dust attenuations of 700,000 low-redshift galaxies
the evolution of helium stars with initial masses in the range 1.6-120 {m}⊙is studied, including the effects of mass loss by winds. these stars are assumed to form in binary systems when their expanding hydrogenic envelopes are promptly lost just after helium ignition. significant differences are found with single-star...
the evolution of massive helium stars, including mass loss
we introduce project nihao (numerical investigation of a hundred astrophysical objects), a set of 100 cosmological zoom-in hydrodynamical simulations performed using the gasoline code, with an improved implementation of the sph algorithm. the haloes in our study range from dwarf (m200 ∼ 5 × 109 m⊙) to milky way (m200 ∼...
nihao project - i. reproducing the inefficiency of galaxy formation across cosmic time with a large sample of cosmological hydrodynamical simulations
context. open clusters are key targets for studies of galaxy structure and evolution, and stellar physics. since the gaia data release 2 (dr2), the discovery of undetected clusters has shown that previous surveys were incomplete.aims: our aim is to exploit the big data capabilities of machine learning to detect new ope...
hunting for open clusters in gaia dr2: 582 new open clusters in the galactic disc
the first four gravitational wave events detected by ligo were all interpreted as merging black hole binaries (bhbs), opening a new perspective on the study of such systems. here we use our new population-synthesis code mobse, an upgraded version of bse, to investigate the demography of merging bhbs. mobse includes met...
merging black hole binaries: the effects of progenitor's metallicity, mass-loss rate and eddington factor
the search for life in the universe is a fundamental problem of astrobiology and modern science. the current progress in the detection of terrestrial-type exoplanets has opened a new avenue in the characterization of exoplanetary atmospheres and in the search for biosignatures of life with the upcoming ground-based and...
impact of space weather on climate and habitability of terrestrial-type exoplanets
annular structures (rings and gaps) in disks around pre-main-sequence stars have been detected in abundance towards class ii protostellar objects that are approximately 1,000,000 years old1. these structures are often interpreted as evidence of planet formation1-3, with planetary-mass bodies carving rings and gaps in t...

during 2014 and 2015, nasa's neutron star interior composition explorer (nicer) mission proceeded success- fully through phase c, design and development. an x-ray (0.2-12 kev) astrophysics payload destined for the international space station, nicer is manifested for launch in early 2017 on the commercial resupply servi...
