The Origins of Gas Accreted by Supermassive Black Holes: The Importance of Recycled Gas

We investigate the fueling mechanisms of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) by analyzing 10 zoom-in cosmological simulations of massive galaxies, with stellar masses 1011-12 M circle dot and SMBH masses 108.9-9.7 M circle dot at z = 0, featuring various majo ...

Investigating Non-equilibrium Physics in Wide Bandgap Semiconductors and Quantum Materials via Ultrafast Spectroscopy

Hui-Yuan Chen

This thesis uses femtosecond laser spectroscopy in studying strong correlation in condensed matters that are pertinent to future technology: a wide bandgap perovskite and a quantum material, with the employment of ultrafast time-resolved spectroscopy in th ...

Optical and mid-infrared line emission in nearby Seyfert galaxies

Michaela Hirschmann

Line ratio diagnostics provide valuable clues as to the source of ionizing radiation in galaxies with intense black hole accretion and starbursting events, such as local Seyfert galaxies or galaxies at the peak of their star formation history. We aim to pr ...

Secular effects of ultralight dark matter on binary pulsars

Sergey Sibiryakov, Diego Blas Temino

Dark matter (DM) can consist of very light bosons behaving as a classical scalar field that experiences coherent oscillations. The presence of this DM field would perturb the dynamics of celestial bodies, either because the (oscillating) DM stress tensor m ...

Probing Molecular Chirality by Orbital-Angular-Momentum-Carrying X-ray Pulses

Jérémy Raymond Jean Maurice Rouxel

A twisted X-ray beam with orbital angular momentum is employed in a theoretical study to probe molecular chirality. A nonlocal response description of the matter-field coupling is adopted to account for the field short wavelength and the structured spatial ...

Ultralight Dark Matter Resonates with Binary Pulsars

Sergey Sibiryakov, Diego Blas Temino

We consider the scenario where dark matter (DM) is represented by an ultralight classical scalar field performing coherent periodic oscillations. We point out that such DM perturbs the dynamics of binary systems either through its gravitational field or vi ...

What is the Milky Way outer halo made of? High resolution spectroscopy of distant red giants

Pascale Jablonka, Pierre North

In a framework where galaxies form hierarchically, extended stellar haloes are predicted to be an ubiquitous feature around Milky Way-like galaxies and to consist mainly of the shredded stellar component of smaller galactic systems. The type of accreted st ...

Constraining the production of cosmic rays by pulsars

Mikhail Ivanov

One of the possible sources of hadronic cosmic rays (CRs) are newborn pulsars. If this is indeed the case, they should feature diffusive gamma-ray halos produced by interactions of CRs with interstellar gas. In this paper we try to identify extended gamma- ...

Laser arrival measurement tools for SwissFEL

Christoph Peter Hauri

SwissFEL is aiming to produce X-ray pulses from 30 fs down to the attosecond time scale. This requires the compression of the several picosecond long electron bunches produced by a photo-injector to sub-fs level. To achieve this, 40fs accurate injection of ...

Sc2Ga2CuO7: A possible quantum spin liquid near the percolation threshold

Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Paul Gregory Freeman

Sc2Ga2CuO7 (SGCO) crystallizes in a hexagonal structure (space group: P63/mmc), which can be seen as an alternating stacking of single and double triangular layers. Combining neutron, x-ray, and resonant x-ray diffraction, we establish that the single tria ...

Gravitational radiation in Horava gravity

Diego Blas Temino

We study the radiation of gravitational waves by self-gravitating binary systems in the low-energy limit of Horava gravity. We find that the predictions for the energy-loss formula of general relativity are modified already for Newtonian sources: the quadr ...

Towards a more reliable symmetry determination from powder diffraction: a redetermination of the low-temperature structure of 4-methylpyridine-N-oxide

The low-temperature structure of 4-methylpyridine-N-oxide was previously determined in symmetry P4(1) [Damay et al. (2006), Acta Cryst. B62, 627-633]. Using a recently published symmetry-determination method it was found that the true symmetry of the struc ...

STAGES: the Space Telescope A901/2 Galaxy Evolution Survey

We present an overview of the Space Telescope A901/2 Galaxy Evolution Survey (STAGES). STAGES is a multiwavelength project designed to probe physical drivers of galaxy evolution across a wide range of environments and luminosity. A complex multicluster sys ...

Flares from a candidate Galactic magnetar suggest a missing link to dim isolated neutron stars

Andrea Kraus

Magnetars(1) are young neutron stars with very strong magnetic fields of the order of 10(14)-10(15) G. They are detected in our Galaxy either as soft gamma-ray repeaters or anomalous X-ray pulsars. Soft gamma-ray repeaters are a rare type of gamma-ray tran ...
