ON THE MAXIMUM LUMINOSITY OF GALAXIES AND THEIR CENTRAL BLACK HOLES: FEEDBACK FROM MOMENTUM-DRIVEN WINDS
- N. Murray, E. Quataert, T. Thompson
- Physics
- 2 June 2004
We investigate large-scale galactic winds driven by momentum deposition. Momentum injection is provided by (1) radiation pressure produced by the continuum absorption and scattering of photons on…
Radiation Pressure-supported Starburst Disks and Active Galactic Nucleus Fueling
- T. Thompson, E. Quataert, N. Murray
- Physics
- 1 March 2005
We consider the structure of marginally Toomre-stable starburst disks under the assumption that radiation pressure on dust grains provides the dominant vertical support against gravity. This…
Six months of multiwavelength follow-up of the tidal disruption candidate asassn-14li and implied tde rates from asas-sn
- T. Holoien, C. Kochanek, P. Wozniak
- Physics
- 6 July 2015
We present ground-based and Swift photometric and spectroscopic observations of the candidate tidal disruption event (TDE) ASASSN-14li, found at the center of PGC043234 (d ' 90 Mpc) by the All-Sky…
Magnetic Fields in Starburst Galaxies and the Origin of the FIR-Radio Correlation
- T. Thompson, E. Quataert, E. Waxman, N. Murray, Crystal L. Martin
- Physics
- 26 January 2006
We estimate minimum energy magnetic fields (Bmin) for a sample of galaxies with measured gas surface densities, spanning more than four orders of magnitude in surface density, from normal spirals to…
A 4,700-Year Record of Lake Level and Isostasy for Lake Michigan
- S. J. Baedke, T. Thompson
- Environmental Science
- 2000
The Relationship between Molecular Gas Tracers and Kennicutt-Schmidt Laws
- M. Krumholz, T. Thompson
- Physics
- 5 April 2007
We provide a model for how Kennicutt-Schmidt (KS) laws, which describe the correlation between star formation rate and gas surface or volume density, depend on the molecular line chosen to trace the…
The All-Sky Automated Survey for Supernovae (ASAS-SN) Light Curve Server v1.0
- C. Kochanek, B. Shappee, W. U. Observatory
- Physics
- 21 June 2017
The All-Sky Automated Survey for Supernovae (ASAS-SN) is working towards imaging the entire visible sky every night to a depth of V~17 mag. The present data covers the sky and spans ~2-5~years with…
The Disruption of Giant Molecular Clouds by Radiation Pressure & the Efficiency of Star Formation in Galaxies
- N. Murray, E. Quataert, T. Thompson
- Physics
- 29 June 2009
Star formation is slow in the sense that the gas consumption time is much longer than the dynamical time. It is also inefficient; star formation in local galaxies takes place in giant molecular…
The Cosmic Core-collapse Supernova Rate does not match the Massive-Star Formation Rate
- S. Horiuchi, J. Beacom, C. Kochanek, J. Prieto, K. Stanek, T. Thompson
- Physics
- 9 February 2011
We identify a "supernova rate problem": the measured cosmic core-collapse supernova rate is a factor of ~ 2 smaller (with significance ~ 2 sigma) than that predicted from the measured cosmic…
ASASSN-15lh: A highly super-luminous supernova
- S. Dong, B. Shappee, P. Wozniak
