Resolving the vicinity of supermassive black holes with gravitational microlensing
Upcoming wide-field surveys will discover thousands of new strongly lensed quasars which will be monitored with unprecedented cadence by the Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST). Many of these quasars will undergo caustic-crossing events over the 10-yr L ...
Oxford Univ Press2024Accretion Disk Size and Updated Time-delay Measurements in the Gravitationally Lensed Quasar SDSS J165043.44+425149.3
Frédéric Courbin, Martin Raoul Robert Millon
We analyze variability in 15-season optical lightcurves from the doubly imaged lensed quasar SDSS J165043.44+425149.3 (SDSS1650), comprising five seasons of monitoring data from the Maidanak Observatory (277 nights in total, including the two seasons of da ...
Iop Publishing Ltd2024Instability and trajectories of buoyancy-driven annular disks: A numerical study
François Gallaire, Pier Giuseppe Ledda, Giovanni Vagnoli
We investigate the stability of the steady vertical path and the emerging trajectories of a buoyancy -driven annular disk as the diameter of its central hole is varied. The steady and axisymmetric wake associated with the steady vertical path of the disk, ...
Amer Physical Soc2024Strong and micro lensing in distant quasars
Most large galaxies contain Super Massive Black Holes at their centers, drawing matter nearby to form swirling accretion disks emitting electromagnetic radiation. These are Active Galactic Nuclei. The brightest quasars are the most luminous Universe object ...
EPFL2023Resolving Galactic-scale Obscuration of X-Ray AGNs at z & GSIM; 1 with COSMOS-Web
A large fraction of the accreting supermassive black hole population is shrouded by copious amounts of gas and dust, particularly in the distant (z & GSIM; 1) universe. While much of the obscuration is attributed to a parsec-scale torus, there is a known c ...
IOP Publishing Ltd2023Finite-resolution Deconvolution of Multiwavelength Imaging of 20,000 Galaxies in the COSMOS Field: The Evolution of Clumpy Galaxies over Cosmic Time
Compact star-forming clumps observed in distant galaxies are often suggested to play a crucial role in galaxy assembly. In this paper, we use a novel approach of applying finite-resolution deconvolution on ground-based images of the COSMOS field to resolve ...
IOP Publishing Ltd2022The Pristine survey - XVI. The metallicity of 26 stellar streams around the Milky Way detected with the STREAMFINDER in Gaia EDR3
Pascale Jablonka, Carmela Lardo
We use the photometric metallicities provided by the panoramic Pristine survey to study the veracity and derive the metallicities of the numerous stellar streams found by the application of the STREAMFINDER algorithm to the Gaia Early Data Release 3 data. ...
OXFORD UNIV PRESS2022Weakly-supervised Action Transition Learning for Stochastic Human Motion Prediction
We introduce the task of action-driven stochastic human motion prediction, which aims to predict multiple plausible future motions given a sequence of action labels and a short motion history. This differs from existing works, which predict motions that ei ...
IEEE COMPUTER SOC2022Rotation measure and synchrotron emission signatures in simulations of magnetized galactic discs
We analyse observational signatures of magnetic fields for simulations of a Milky Way-like disc with supernova-driven interstellar turbulence and self-consistent chemical processes. In particular, we post-process two simulations data sets of the SILCC Proj ...
OXFORD UNIV PRESS2022Exploring the origin of low-metallicity stars in Milky-Way-like galaxies with the NIHAO-UHD simulations
The kinematics of the most metal-poor stars provide a window into the early formation and accretion history of the Milky Way (MW). Here, we use five high-resolution cosmological zoom-in simulations (similar to 5 x 10(6) star particles) of MW-like galaxies ...
