The origin of fast molecular outflows in quasars: Molecule formation in AGN-driven galactic winds (2017)
Journal Article
Richings, A. J., & Faucher-Giguère, C. A. (2018). The origin of fast molecular outflows in quasars: Molecule formation in AGN-driven galactic winds. Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 474(3), 3673-3699. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stx3014

We explore the origin of fast molecular outflows that have been observed in active galactic nuclei (AGNs). Previous numerical studies have shown that it is difficult to create such an outflow by accelerating existing molecular clouds in the host gala...

Flickering AGN can explain the strong circumgalactic OVI observed by COS-Halos (2017)
Journal Article
Oppenheimer, B. D., Segers, M., Schaye, J., Richings, A. J., & Crain, R. A. (2018). Flickering AGN can explain the strong circumgalactic OVI observed by COS-Halos. Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 474(4), 4740-4755. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stx2967

Proximity zone fossils (PZFs) are ionization signatures around recently active galactic nuclei (AGNs) where metal species in the circumgalactic medium remain overionized after the AGNs have shut offdue to their long recombination time scales. We expl... Read More about Flickering AGN can explain the strong circumgalactic OVI observed by COS-Halos.

Metals in the circumgalactic medium are out of ionization equilibrium due to fluctuating active galactic nuclei (2017)
Journal Article
Segers, M. C., Oppenheimer, B. D., Schaye, J., & Richings, A. J. (2017). Metals in the circumgalactic medium are out of ionization equilibrium due to fluctuating active galactic nuclei. Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 471(1), 1026-1044. https://doi.org/10.1093/MNRAS/STX1633

We study the effect of a fluctuating active galactic nucleus (AGN) on the abundance of circumgalactic OVI in galaxies selected from the Evolution and Assembly of GaLaxies and their Environments simulations. We follow the time-variable OVI abundance i... Read More about Metals in the circumgalactic medium are out of ionization equilibrium due to fluctuating active galactic nuclei.

The beamformer and correlator for the Large European Array for Pulsars (2017)
Journal Article
Smits, R., Bassa, C. G., Janssen, G. H., Karuppusamy, R., Kramer, M., Lee, K. J., …Zhu, W. W. (2017). The beamformer and correlator for the Large European Array for Pulsars. Astronomy and Computing, 19, 66-74. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ascom.2017.02.002

The Large European Array for Pulsars combines Europe's largest radio telescopes to form a tied-array telescope that provides high signal-to-noise observations of millisecond pulsars (MSPs) with the objective to increase the sensitivity of detecting l...

A Mathematical Model of Lymphangiogenesis in a Zebrafish Embryo (2017)
Journal Article
Wertheim, K. Y., & Roose, T. (2017). A Mathematical Model of Lymphangiogenesis in a Zebrafish Embryo. Bulletin of Mathematical Biology, 79(4), 693-737. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11538-017-0248-7

The lymphatic system of a vertebrate is important in health and diseases. We propose a novel mathematical model to elucidate the lymphangiogenic processes in zebrafish embryos. Specifically, we are interested in the period when lymphatic endothelial... Read More about A Mathematical Model of Lymphangiogenesis in a Zebrafish Embryo.

Timing of 29 Pulsars Discovered in the PALFA Survey (2017)
Journal Article
Lyne, A. G., Stappers, B. W., Bogdanov, S., Ferdman, R. D., Freire, P. C., Kaspi, V. M., …Machenschalk, B. (2017). Timing of 29 Pulsars Discovered in the PALFA Survey. The Astrophysical journal, 834(2), Article 137. https://doi.org/10.3847/1538-4357/834/2/137

We report on the discovery and timing observations of 29 distant long-period pulsars found in the ongoing Arecibo L-band Feed Array pulsar survey. Following discovery with the Arecibo Telescope, confirmation and timing observations of these pulsars o... Read More about Timing of 29 Pulsars Discovered in the PALFA Survey.
