A too-many-dwarf-galaxy-satellites problem in the M 83 group

Dwarf galaxies in groups of galaxies provide excellent test cases for models of structure formation. This led to a so-called small-scale crisis, including the famous missing-satellites and too-big-to-fail problems. It was suggested that these two problems ...

Swift : a modern highly parallel gravity and smoothed particle hydrodynamics solver for astrophysical and cosmological applications

Yves Revaz, Matthieu Schaller, Loïc Hausammann, Mladen Ivkovic, Zhen Xiang

Numerical simulations have become one of the key tools used by theorists in all the fields of astrophysics and cosmology. The development of modern tools that target the largest existing computing systems and exploit state-of-the-art numerical methods and ...

Technosignatures Longevity and Lindy's Law

Claudio Grimaldi

The probability of detecting technosignatures (i.e., evidence of technological activity beyond Earth) increases with their longevity, or the time interval over which they manifest. Therefore, the assumed distribution of longevities has some bearing on the ...

Hidden Gems on a Ring: Infant Massive Clusters and Their Formation Timeline Unveiled by ALMA, HST, and JWST in NGC 3351

Hamid Hassani, Hao He, Robin Gopala Tress, Jiayi Sun

We use 0.1 '' observations from the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA), Hubble Space Telescope (HST), and JWST to study young massive clusters (YMCs) in their embedded "infant" phase across the central starburst ring in NGC 3351. Our new ALMA data revea ...

The effect of pressure-anisotropy-driven kinetic instabilities on magnetic field amplification in galaxy clusters

Yoan Rappaz, Jennifer Waltraud Schober

Context. The intracluster medium (ICM) is the low-density diffuse gas that fills the space between galaxies within galaxy clusters. It is primarily composed of magnetized plasma, which reaches virial temperatures of up to 10(8) K, probably due to mergers o ...

How much metal did the first stars provide to the ultra-faint dwarfs?

Yves Revaz, Pascale Jablonka, Mahsa Sanati

Numerical simulations of dwarf galaxies have so far failed to reproduce the observed metallicity-luminosity relation, down to the regime of ultra-faint dwarfs (UFDs). We address this issue by exploring how the first generations of metal-free stars (Pop III ...

A model for the infrared-radio correlation of main sequence galaxies at gigahertz frequencies and its variation with redshift and stellar mass

Jennifer Waltraud Schober, Mark Thomas Sargent

Context. The infrared-radio correlation (IRRC) of star-forming galaxies can be used to estimate their star formation rate (SFR) based on the radio continuum luminosity at MHz-GHz frequencies. For its practical application in future deep radio surveys, it i ...

The formation of the faintest galaxies in cosmological simulations: from the impact of primordial magnetic fields to the metal enrichment of present day dwarfs by first stars

Mahsa Sanati

In the theory of the bottom-up assembly of cosmic structures, one of the main challenges is to connect the smallest, most inconspicuous galaxies we observe today to the building blocks of more massive galaxies such as our own, the Milky Way. Do these so-ca ...

The extended stellar halo' of the Ursa Minor dwarf galaxy

Pascale Jablonka

Stellar candidates in the Ursa Minor (UMi) dwarf galaxy have been found using a new Bayesian algorithm applied to Gaia EDR3 data. Five of these targets are located in the extreme outskirts of UMi, from similar to 5 to 12 elliptical half-light radii (r h), ...

A possible dwarf galaxy satellite-of-satellite problem in ?CDM

Yves Revaz, Nick Heesters

Dark matter clusters on all scales, and it is therefore expected that even substructure should host its own substructure. Using the Extragalactic Distance Database, we searched for dwarf-galaxy satellites of dwarf galaxies, that is, satellite-of-satellite ...

Emission-line properties of IllustrisTNG galaxies: from local diagnostic diagrams to high-redshift predictions for JWST

Michaela Hirschmann, Adèle Marie Françoise Plat

We compute synthetic, rest-frame optical and ultraviolet (UV) emission-line properties of galaxy populations at redshifts from z approximate to 0 to =8 in a full cosmological framework. We achieve this by coupling, in post-processing, the cosmological Illu ...

Metallicity Distribution Functions of 13 Ultra-faint Dwarf Galaxy Candidates from Hubble Space Telescope Narrowband Imaging

Nicolas Lawrence Etienne Longeard

We present uniformly measured stellar metallicities of 463 stars in 13 Milky Way (MW) ultra-faint dwarf galaxies (UFDs; M-V = -7.1 to -0.8) using narrowband CaHK (F395N) imaging taken with the Hubble Space Telescope. This represents the largest homogeneous ...
