On the origin of globular clusters in a hierarchical universe

We present an end-to-end description of the formation of globular clusters (GCs) combining a treatment for their formation and dynamical evolution within galaxy haloes with a state-of-the-art semi-analytic simulation of galaxy formation. Our approach allow ...

White dwarfs as a probe of exceptionally light QCD axions

We study the effects of exceptionally light QCD axions on the stellar configuration of white dwarfs. At finite baryon density, the nonderivative coupling of the axion to nucleons displaces the axion from its invacuum minimum, which implies a reduction of t ...

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 ...

The Pristine dwarf galaxy survey - IV. Probing the outskirts of the dwarf galaxy Bootes I

Pascale Jablonka, Nicolas Lawrence Etienne Longeard, Romain Ely Roland Lucchesi

We present a new spectroscopic study of the dwarf galaxy Bootes I (Boo I) with data from the Anglo-Australian Telescope and its AAOmega spectrograph together with the Two Degree Field multi-object system. We observed 36 high-probability Boo I stars selecte ...

The GOGREEN survey: dependence of galaxy properties on halo mass a z > 1 and implications for environmental quenching

Pascale Jablonka, Hung-Hsu Chan

We use photometric redshifts and statistical background subtraction to measure stellar mass functions in galaxy group-mass (4.5-8 x 10(13) M-circle dot) haloes at 1 < z < 1.5. Groups are selected from COSMOS and SXDF, based on X-ray imaging and sparse spec ...

Instability of a thin viscous film flowing under an inclined substrate: the emergence and stability of rivulets

François Gallaire, Gioele Mariano Nicolò Balestra, Pier Giuseppe Ledda, Gaëtan Pierre Clément Lerisson

We study the pattern formation of a thin film flowing under an inclined planar substrate. The phenomenon is studied in the context of the Rayleigh-Taylor instability using the lubrication equation. Inspired by experimental observations, we numerically stud ...

Barium and related stars, and their white-dwarf companions

Pierre North, Conrad Johnston, Shreeya Sushil Shetye

Barium (Ba) dwarfs and CH subgiants are the less evolved analogues of Ba and CH giants. They are F- to G-type main-sequence stars polluted with heavy elements by their binary companions when the companion was on the asymptotic giant branch (AGB). This comp ...

A SHARP view of H0LiCOW: H-0 from three time-delay gravitational lens systems with adaptive optics imaging

Frédéric Courbin, Vivien François Bonvin, Hung-Hsu Chan, Martin Raoul Robert Millon

We present the measurement of the Hubble constant, H-0, with three strong gravitational lens systems, We describe a blind analysis of both PG 1115+080 and 11E0435-1223 as well as an extension of our previous analysis of RXJ 1131-1231. For each lens, we com ...

Clustering of quasars in SDSS-IV eBOSS: study of potential systematics and bias determination

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Johan Comparat, Pierre Laurent

We study the first year of the eBOSS quasar sample in the redshift range 0.9 < z < 2.2 which includes 68,772 homogeneously selected quasars. We show that the main source of systematics in the evaluation of the correlation function arises from inhomogeneiti ...

Are long gamma-ray bursts biased tracers of star formation? Clues from the host galaxies of the Swift/BAT6 complete sample of bright LGRBs II. Star formation rates and metallicities at z < 1

Hakim Atek

Aims. Long gamma-ray bursts (LGRBs) are associated with the deaths of massive stars and might therefore be a potentially powerful tool for tracing cosmic star formation. However, especially at low redshifts (z < 1.5) LGRBs seem to prefer particular types o ...

Critical heat flux in multi-microchannel copper elements with low pressure refrigerants

John Richard Thome, Jung Eung Park

New saturated critical heat flux (CHF) data have been obtained experimentally in two different multi-microchannel heat sinks made in copper with three low pressure refrigerants (R134a, R236fa, R245fa). one of the test sections has 20 parallel rectangular c ...
