hydrogen lyman-α (lyα) emission has been one of the major observational probes for the high-redshift universe since the first discoveries of high-z lyα-emitting galaxies in the late 1990s. due to the strong lyα emission originated by resonant scattering and recombination of the most abundant element, lyα observations w...

we present n-body simulations of a sagittarius (sgr)-like dwarf spheroidal galaxy that follows its orbit about the milky way (mw) since its first crossing of the galaxy's virial radius to the present day. as sgr orbits around the mw, it excites vertical oscillations, corrugating and flaring the galactic stellar disc. t...
the influence of sagittarius and the large magellanic cloud on the stellar disc of the milky way galaxy
the monte carlo evaluation of path integrals is one of a few general purpose methods to approach strongly coupled systems. it is used in all branches of physics, from qcd/nuclear physics to the correlated electron systems. however, many systems of great importance (dense matter inside neutron stars, the repulsive hubba...
complex paths around the sign problem
we carried out a bayesian homogeneous determination of the orbital parameters of 231 transiting giant planets (tgps) that are alone or have distant companions; we employed differential evolution markov chain monte carlo methods to analyse radial-velocity (rv) data from the literature and 782 new high-accuracy rvs obtai...
the gaps programme with harps-n at tng . xiv. investigating giant planet migration history via improved eccentricity and mass determination for 231 transiting planets
we report the detection of extended lyα emission around individual star-forming galaxies at redshifts z = 3-6 in an ultradeep exposure of the hubble deep field south obtained with muse on the eso-vlt. the data reach a limiting surface brightness (1σ) of ~1 × 10-19 erg s-1 cm-2 arcsec-2 in azimuthally averaged radial pr...
extended lyman α haloes around individual high-redshift galaxies revealed by muse
this work aims to investigate the behaviour of compact stars in the background of theory of gravity. for current work, we consider the krori-barua metric potential i.e., and , where, and c are constants. we use matching conditions of spherically symmetric space-time with schwarzschild solution as an exterior geometry a...
relativistic krori-barua compact stars in f(r,t)f(r,t) gravity
we review the physics of hyperons and δ-resonances in dense matter in compact stars. the covariant density functional approach to the equation of state and composition of dense nuclear matter in the mean-field hartree and hartree-fock approximation is presented, with regimes covering cold β-equilibrated matter, hot and...
heavy baryons in compact stars
advanced ligo and advanced virgo are detecting a large number of binary stellar origin black hole (bh) mergers. a promising channel for accelerated bh merger lies in active galactic nucleus (agn) discs of gas around supermasssive bhs. here, we investigate the relative number of compact object (co) mergers in agn disc m...
black hole, neutron star, and white dwarf merger rates in agn discs
gravitational-wave detections have revealed a previously unknown population of stellar mass black holes with masses above 20 m ⊙. these observations provide a new way to test models of stellar evolution for massive stars. by considering the astrophysical processes likely to determine the shape of the binary black hole ...
measuring the binary black hole mass spectrum with an astrophysically motivated parameterization
the kepler mission has discovered thousands of planets with radii <4 {r}\oplus , paving the way for the first statistical studies of the dynamics, formation, and evolution of these sub-neptunes and super-earths. planetary masses are an important physical property for these studies, and yet the vast majority of keple...
probabilistic mass-radius relationship for sub-neptune-sized planets
the mass spectrum of stellar mass black holes (bhs) is highly uncertain. dynamical mass measurements are available only for few (∼10) bhs in x-ray binaries, while theoretical models strongly depend on the hydrodynamics of supernova (sn) explosions and on the evolution of massive stars. in this paper, we present and dis...
the mass spectrum of compact remnants from the parsec stellar evolution tracks
we present a novel relativistic density-functional approach to modeling quark matter with a mechanism to mimic confinement. the quasiparticle treatment of quarks provides their suppression due to a large quark self energy already at the mean-field level. we demonstrate that our approach is equivalent to a chiral quark ...
density functional approach to quark matter with confinement and color superconductivity
based on various diagnostics and corrections established in the framework of several sunspot number workshops and described by clette et al. (space sci. rev.186, 35, 2014), we now assembled all separately derived corrections to produce a new standard version of the reference sunspot-number time series. we explain here ...
the new sunspot number: assembling all corrections
the organic-inorganic hybrid lead halide perovskites have emerged as a series of star materials for solar cells, lasers and detectors. however, the issues raised by the toxic lead element and marginal stability due to the volatile organic components have severely limited their potential applications. in this work, we d...
