Foldamers 2 and 3 having an XQQ repeat motif (X=α-amino acid, Q=quinoline) were synthesized. Crystals of 2 (X=Phe, Q with an anionic side chain) obtained from water revealed an aromatic helix where amide groups belonging to the α-amino acids created a hydrogen-bond array typical of peptidic helices. Crystals of 3 (X=Ser, Q with a lipophilic side chain) obtained from organic solvents revealed a helix-turn-helix structure in which α-amino acid side chains interfere with main-chain hydrogen bonding.

In particular, variable accretion rates, instabilities, and reverberation effects in the accretion disc of a supermassive black hole are expected to produce correlated flux variations in ultraviolet (UV) and optical bands. Recent work has further argued that binary quasars should exhibit strongly correlated UV and optical periodicities. Strong UV–optical correlations have indeed been established in small samples of (N ≲ 30) quasars with well-sampled light curves, and have extended the ‘bluer-when-brighter’ trend previously found within the optical bands. Here, we further test the nature of quasar variability by examining the observed-frame UV–optical correlations among bright quasars extracted from the Half Million Quasars (HMQ) catalogue. We identified a large sample of 1315 quasars in HMQ with overlapping UV and optical light curves from the Galaxy Evolution Explorer and the Catalina Real-time Transient Survey, respectively. We find that strong correlations exist in this much larger sample, but we rule out, at ∼95 per cent confidence, the simple hypothesis that the intrinsic UV and optical variations of all quasars are fully correlated. Our results therefore imply the existence of physical mechanism(s) that can generate uncorrelated optical and UV flux variations."}],"article_processing_charge":"No","scopus_import":"1","language":[{"iso":"eng"}]},{"user_id":"317138e5-6ab7-11ef-aa6d-ffef3953e345","article_processing_charge":"No","abstract":[{"text":"We performed a series of numerical experiments to quantify the sensitivity of the predictions for weak lensing statistics obtained in ray-tracing dark matter (DM)-only simulations, to two hyper-parameters that influence the accuracy as well as the computational cost of the predictions: the thickness of the lens planes used to build past light cones and the mass resolution of the underlying DM simulation. The statistics considered are the power spectrum (PS) and a series of non-Gaussian observables, including the one-point probability density function, lensing peaks, and Minkowski functionals. Counterintuitively, we find that using thin lens planes (< 60 h−1 Mpc on a 240 h−1 Mpc simulation box) suppresses the PS over a broad range of scales beyond what would be acceptable for a survey comparable to the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST). A mass resolution of 7.2 × 1011 h−1 M⊙ per DM particle (or 2563 particles in a (240 h−1 Mpc)3 box) is sufficient to extract information using the PS and non-Gaussian statistics from weak lensing data at angular scales down to 1' with LSST-like levels of shape noise.","lang":"eng"}],"scopus_import":"1","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"article_number":"284","volume":159,"doi":"10.3847/1538-3881/ab8f8c","publisher":"American Astronomical Society","publication":"The Astronomical Journal","date_created":"2024-09-05T09:35:49Z","status":"public","type":"journal_article","day":"29","date_updated":"2024-09-11T09:03:15Z","year":"2020","publication_status":"published","oa_version":"Published Version","date_published":"2020-05-29T00:00:00Z","article_type":"original","author":[{"last_name":"Matilla","first_name":"José Manuel Zorrilla","full_name":"Matilla, José Manuel Zorrilla"},{"full_name":"Waterval, Stefan","last_name":"Waterval","first_name":"Stefan"},{"id":"7c006e8c-cc0d-11ee-8322-cb904ef76f36","last_name":"Haiman","first_name":"Zoltán","full_name":"Haiman, Zoltán"}],"month":"05","issue":"6","citation":{"mla":"Matilla, José Manuel Zorrilla, et al. “Optimizing Simulation Parameters for Weak Lensing Analyses Involving Non-Gaussian Observables.” The Astronomical Journal, vol. 159, no. 6, 284, American Astronomical Society, 2020, doi:10.3847/1538-3881/ab8f8c.","apa":"Matilla, J.

In active galactic nuclei (AGN), binaries form and evolve efficiently by dynamical interactions and gaseous dissipation. Previous studies have suggested that binary black hole (BBH) mergers in AGN disks can contribute significantly to BBH mergers observed by GW interferometers. Here we examine the distribution of the effective spin parameter χeff of this GW source population. We extend our semi-analytical model of binary formation and evolution in AGN disks by following the evolution of the binary orbital angular momenta and black hole (BH) spins. BH spins change due to gas accretion and BH mergers, while the binary orbital angular momenta evolve due to gas accretion and binary-single interactions. We find that the distribution of χeff predicted by our AGN model is similar to the distribution observed during LIGO/Virgo O1 and O2. On the other hand, if radial migration of BHs is inefficient, χeff is skewed toward higher values compared with the observed distribution, because of the paucity of scattering events that would randomize spin directions relative to the orbital plane. We suggest that high binary masses and the positive correlation between binary mass and the standard deviation of χeff for chirp masses up to ≈20 M⊙, can be possible signatures for mergers originating in AGN disks. Finally, hierarchical mergers in AGN disks naturally produce properties of the recent GW event GW190412, including a low mass ratio, a high primary BH spin, and a significant spin component in the orbital plane."}],"scopus_import":"1","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"article_number":"26"},{"title":"Formation of GW190521 via gas accretion onto population III stellar black hole remnants born in high-redshift minihalos","_id":"17537","publication_identifier":{"issn":["2041-8205","2041-8213"]},"intvolume":" 903","quality_controlled":"1","main_file_link":[{"url":"https://doi.org/10.3847/2041-8213/abc253","open_access":"1"}],"extern":"1","oa":1,"month":"11","issue":"1","citation":{"mla":"Safarzadeh, Mohammadtaher, and Zoltán Haiman. “Formation of GW190521 via Gas Accretion onto Population III Stellar Black Hole Remnants Born in High-Redshift Minihalos.” The Astrophysical Journal Letters, vol. 903, no. 1, L21, American Astronomical Society, 2020, doi:10.3847/2041-8213/abc253.","apa":"Safarzadeh, M., & Haiman, Z.

The primary and secondary BH are both inferred to fall inside the pair-instability (PI) mass gap. Here we propose that the formation of such binaries is possible through gas accretion onto the BH remnants of Population III (Pop~III) stars born in high-redshift (z>10) minihalos. Once the parent halo has grown to the atomic-cooling limit, even brief episodes of gas accretion in the dense central regions of the halo can increase the masses of Pop~III remnant BHs above the PI limit. Starting with a BBH with an initial mass of O(100) M⊙ we find that it would only need to spend about 100~Myr in the inner few pc of an atomic-cooling halo to accrete about 50~M⊙ of material and resemble a system similar to GW190521. The dynamical friction timescale for the binary to sink to the dense inner region of its parent halo is comparable or shorter than the accretion timescale required to increase their mass above the PI limit. Once in the core of the halo, the binary can enter a phase of hyper-Eddington accretion, where it would only take a few thousand years to exceed the PI limit through accretion. Even more massive BBHs could form through this channel, and be detectable by detectors with improved low-frequency sensitivity. Single Pop~III BH remnants would also grow through accretion and could later form binaries dynamically. As little as a few percent of Pop~III BH remnants may be sufficient to match the rate of massive BBH mergers inferred from GW190521 of 0.13+0.3−0.11Gpc−3yr−1.","lang":"eng"}],"user_id":"317138e5-6ab7-11ef-aa6d-ffef3953e345"},{"date_updated":"2024-09-12T09:39:27Z","day":"17","type":"journal_article","status":"public","date_created":"2024-09-05T09:51:17Z","page":"5960-5971","publication":"Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society","publisher":"Oxford University Press","doi":"10.1093/mnras/staa3227","volume":499,"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"scopus_import":"1","abstract":[{"lang":"eng","text":"Recent three-dimensional cosmological simulations of protogalaxy formation have suggested that supermassive stars (SMSs) can form in gas clouds in which H2 cooling is suppressed by dynamical heating prior to the activation of atomic cooling (Wise et al. 2019), but they stopped short of the following growth of a central protostar. Here we examine whether accretion on the protostellar core in this cloud is sufficiently rapid, in the face of the radiation feedback, to produce a SMS. We perform one-dimensional radiation-hydrodynamical simulations of the hot collapsing cloud with non-equilibrium chemical reactions directly adopting the cloud properties from Wise et al.

We find that the stellar Lyman-Werner (LW) radiation from the SMS dissociates H2 in the inner regions of the gas flow, increasing gas temperature and thermal pressure, and temporarily stopping the accretion. However, this negative feedback ceases when the self-gravity and inward ram pressure force on larger scales push the gas inward. The central protostar is unable to expand an HII region due to the high density, and grows to a mass of ≳105M⊙.

These events involve the coalescence of supermassive black holes in the mass range 105M⊙≲M≲107M⊙ with companion BHs of much lower masses. A subset of E/IMRIs are expected to occur in the accretion discs of active galactic nuclei (AGN), where torques exerted by the disc can interfere with the inspiral and cause a phase shift in the GW waveform. Here we use a suite of two-dimensional hydrodynamical simulations with the moving-mesh code DISCO to present a systematic study of disc torques. We measure torques on an inspiraling BH and compute the corresponding waveform deviations as a function of the binary mass ratio q≡M2/M1, the disc viscosity (α), and gas temperature (or equivalently Mach number; M). We find that the absolute value of the gas torques is within an order of magnitude of previously determined planetary migration torques, but their precise value and sign depends non-trivially on the combination of these parameters. The gas imprint is detectable by LISA for binaries embedded in AGN discs with surface densities above Σ0≥104−6gcm−2, depending on q, α and M. Deviations are most pronounced in discs with higher viscosities, and for E/IMRIs detected at frequencies where LISA is most sensitive. Torques in colder discs exhibit a noticeable dependence on the GW-driven inspiral rate as well as strong fluctuations at late stages of the inspiral.

Our method takes dark matter halo merger trees (including three-dimensional spatial information) from cosmological N-body simulations as input and applies analytic prescriptions to compute both the Population III and metal-enriched star formation histories. We have developed a novel method to accurately compute the major feedback processes affecting Population III star formation: H2 photodissociation from Lyman–Werner (LW) radiation, suppression of star formation due to inhomogeneous reionization, and metal enrichment via supernova winds. Our method utilizes a grid-based approach relying on fast Fourier transforms to rapidly track the LW intensity, ionization fraction, and metallicity in three dimensions throughout the simulation box. We present simulations for a wide range of astrophysical model parameters from z ≈ 30 to 6. Initially long-range LW feedback and local metal enrichment and reionization feedback dominate. However, for z ≲ 15 we find that the star formation rate density (SFRD) of Population III stars is impacted by the combination of external metal enrichment (metals from one halo polluting other pristine halos) and inhomogeneous reionization. We find that the interplay of these processes is particularly important for the Population III SFRD at z ≲ 10. Reionization feedback delays star formation long enough for metal bubbles to reach halos that would otherwise form Population III stars. Including these effects can lead to more than an order-of-magnitude decrease in the Population III SFRD at z = 6 compared to LW feedback alone."}],"article_processing_charge":"No","user_id":"317138e5-6ab7-11ef-aa6d-ffef3953e345","article_number":"95","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"scopus_import":"1","volume":897,"external_id":{"arxiv":["2001.11118"]},"doi":"10.3847/1538-4357/ab994e","oa":1,"extern":"1","main_file_link":[{"url":" https://doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.2001.11118","open_access":"1"}],"intvolume":" 897","quality_controlled":"1","_id":"17542","title":"Self-consistent semianalytic modeling of feedback during primordial star formation and reionization","publication_identifier":{"issn":["0004-637X","1538-4357"]},"date_published":"2020-07-07T00:00:00Z","oa_version":"Preprint","publication_status":"published","year":"2020","article_type":"original","author":[{"last_name":"Visbal","first_name":"Eli","full_name":"Visbal, Eli"},{"last_name":"Bryan","first_name":"Greg L.","full_name":"Bryan, Greg L."},{"id":"7c006e8c-cc0d-11ee-8322-cb904ef76f36","last_name":"Haiman","first_name":"Zoltán","full_name":"Haiman, Zoltán"}],"citation":{"mla":"Visbal, Eli, et al. “Self-Consistent Semianalytic Modeling of Feedback during Primordial Star Formation and Reionization.” The Astrophysical Journal, vol. 897, no. 1, 95, American Astronomical Society, 2020, doi:10.3847/1538-4357/ab994e.","ieee":"E.

In order to model each system we extend previous Doppler plus self-lensing models to include eccentricity. The first quasar is identified in optical data as a binary candidate with a 20-yr period (Ark 120), and shows a prominent spike. For this source, we rule out the lensing hypothesis and disfavor the Doppler-boost hypothesis due to discrepancies in the measured vs. recovered values of the binary mass and optical spectral slope. The second source, which we nickname Spikey, is the rare case of an active galactic nucleus (AGN) identified in Kepler's high-quality, high-cadence photometric data. For this source, we find a model, consisting of a combination of a Doppler modulation and a narrow symmetric lensing spike, consistent with an eccentric SMBHB with a total mass of approximately 30 million solar masses, rest-frame orbital period T=418 days, eccentricity e=0.5, and seen at an inclination of 8 degrees from edge-on.

While the significance of its optical periodicity has been debated due to the stochastic variability of quasars, its multiwavelength variability in the ultraviolet (UV) and optical bands is consistent with relativistic Doppler boost caused by the orbital motion in a binary. However, this conclusion was based previously on sparse UV data that were not taken simultaneously with the optical data. Here, we report simultaneous follow-up observations of PG1302-102 with the Ultraviolet Optical Telescope on the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory in six optical + UV bands. The additional nine Swift observations produce light curves roughly consistent with the trend under the Doppler boost hypothesis, which predicts that UV variability should track the optical, but with a ∼2.2 times higher amplitude. We perform a statistical analysis to quantitatively test this hypothesis. We find that the data are consistent with the Doppler boost hypothesis when we compare the the amplitudes in optical B-band and UV light curves. However, the ratio of UV to V-band variability is larger than expected and is consistent with the Doppler model, only if either the UV/optical spectral slopes vary, the stochastic variability makes a large contribution in the UV, or the sparse new optical data underestimate the true optical variability. We have evidence for the latter from comparison with the optical light curve from All-Sky Automated Survey for Supernovae. Additionally, the simultaneous analysis of all four bands strongly disfavours the Doppler boost model whenever Swift V band is involved. Additional, simultaneous optical + UV observations tracing out another cycle of the 5.2-yr proposed periodicity should lead to a definitive conclusion.","lang":"eng"}],"article_processing_charge":"No","scopus_import":"1","language":[{"iso":"eng"}]},{"volume":58,"external_id":{"arxiv":["1911.05791"]},"doi":"10.1146/annurev-astro-120419-014455","abstract":[{"text":"The existence of ≈10^9 Msun supermassive black holes (SMBHs) within the first billion year of the universe has stimulated numerous ideas for the prompt formation and rapid growth of BHs in the early universe. Here we review ways in which the seeds of massive BHs may have first assembled, how they may have subsequently grown as massive as ≈10^9 Msun, and how multi-messenger observations could distinguish between different SMBH assembly scenarios. We conclude the following: (1) The ultra-rare ≈10^9 Msun SMBHs represent only the tip of the iceberg. Early BHs likely fill a continuum from stellar-mass (approx. 10 Msun) to the super-massive (≈10^9 Msun) regime, reflecting a range of initial masses and growth histories. (2) Stellar-mass BHs were likely left behind by the first generation of stars at redshifts as high as z=30, but their initial growth was typically stunted due to the shallow potential wells of their host galaxies. (3) Conditions in some larger, metal-poor galaxies soon became conducive to the rapid formation and growth of massive `seed' holes, via gas accretion and by mergers in dense stellar clusters. (4) BH masses depend on the environment (such as the number and properties of nearby radiation sources and the local baryonic streaming velocity), and on the metal enrichment and assembly history of the host galaxy. (5) Distinguishing between assembly mechanisms will be difficult, but a combination of observations by LISA (probing massive BH growth via mergers) and by deep multi-wavelength electromagnetic observations (probing growth via gas accretion) is particularly promising.","lang":"eng"}],"article_processing_charge":"No","user_id":"317138e5-6ab7-11ef-aa6d-ffef3953e345","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"scopus_import":"1","date_created":"2024-09-05T12:04:49Z","status":"public","date_updated":"2024-09-18T13:06:37Z","arxiv":1,"day":"30","type":"journal_article","publication":"Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics","publisher":"Annual Reviews","page":"27-97","author":[{"last_name":"Inayoshi","first_name":"Kohei","full_name":"Inayoshi, Kohei"},{"last_name":"Visbal","first_name":"Eli","full_name":"Visbal, Eli"},{"id":"7c006e8c-cc0d-11ee-8322-cb904ef76f36","full_name":"Haiman, Zoltán","first_name":"Zoltán","last_name":"Haiman"}],"citation":{"ista":"Inayoshi K, Visbal E, Haiman Z. 2020.

Recently it was found, however, that gas enriched to metallicities up to Z∼10−3 Z⊙ can also facilitate supermassive star formation, as long as the total mass infall rate onto the protostar remains sufficiently high. We extend the analysis further by examining how the abundance of supermassive star candidate haloes would be affected if all haloes with super-critical infall rates, regardless of metallicity were included. We investigate this scenario by identifying all atomic cooling haloes in the Renaissance simulations with central mass infall rates exceeding a fixed threshold. We find that among these haloes with central mass infall rates above 0.1 M⊙ yr−1 approximately two-thirds of these haloes have metallicities of Z>10−3 Z⊙. If metal mixing within these haloes is inefficient early in their assembly and pockets of metal-poor gas can remain then the number of haloes hosting supermassive stars can be increased by at least a factor of four. Additionally the centres of these high infall-rate haloes provide ideal environments in which to grow pre-existing black holes.

Here, we raise the possibility that stellar collisions may be sufficiently frequent and energetic to inhibit the contraction of the massive protostar, avoiding strong UV radiation driven outflows, and allowing it to continue growing into an SMS. We investigate this scenario with semianalytic models incorporating star formation; gas accretion; dynamical friction from stars and gas; stellar collisions; and gas ejection. We find that when the collapsing gas fragments at a density of ≲3 × 1010 cm−3, the central protostar contracts due to infrequent stellar mergers, and in turn photoevaporates the remaining collapsing gas, resulting in the formation of a ≲104 M⊙ object. On the other hand, when the collapsing gas fragments at higher densities (expected for a metal-poor cloud with Z ≲ 10−5 Z⊙ with suppressed H2 abundance) the central protostar avoids contraction and keeps growing via frequent stellar mergers, reaching masses as high as ∼105–106 M⊙.

Simulations predict that close-separation accreting SMBH binaries will have different X-ray spectra than single accreting SMBHs, including harder or softer X-ray spectra, ripple-like profiles in the Fe K-α line, and distinct peaks in the spectrum due to the separation of the accretion disk into a circumbinary disk and mini disks around each SMBH. We obtained Chandra observations to test these models and assess whether these quasars could contain binary SMBHs. We instead find that the quasar spectra are all well fit by simple absorbed power-law models, with the rest-frame 2–10 keV photon indices, Γ, and the X-ray-to-optical power slopes, αOX, indistinguishable from those of the larger quasar population. This may indicate that these seven quasars are not truly subparsec binary SMBH systems, or it may simply reflect that our sample size was too small to robustly detect any differences. Alternatively, the X-ray spectral changes might only be evident at energies higher than probed by Chandra. Given the available models and current data, no firm conclusions are drawn. These observations will help motivate and direct further work on theoretical models of binary SMBH systems, such as modeling systems with thinner accretion disks and larger binary separations.","lang":"eng"}],"scopus_import":"1","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"article_number":"148","volume":900,"doi":"10.3847/1538-4357/abad31","publisher":"American Astronomical Society","publication":"The Astrophysical Journal","status":"public","date_created":"2024-09-05T12:25:06Z","type":"journal_article","day":"11","date_updated":"2024-09-19T11:29:46Z","year":"2020","publication_status":"published","oa_version":"Published Version","date_published":"2020-09-11T00:00:00Z","article_type":"original","author":[{"full_name":"Saade, M.

In active galactic nuclei (AGNs), compact-object binaries form, evolve, and interact with a dense star cluster and a gas disk. An important question is whether and how binaries merge in these environments. To address this question, we have performed one-dimensional N-body simulations combined with a semianalytical model that includes the formation, disruption, and evolution of binaries self-consistently. We point out that binaries can form in single–single interactions through the dissipation of kinetic energy in a gaseous medium. This \"gas-capture\" binary formation channel contributes up to 97% of gas-driven mergers and leads to a high merger rate in AGN disks even without preexisting binaries. We find the merger rate to be in the range of ∼0.02–60 Gpc−3 yr−1. The results are insensitive to the assumptions on the gaseous hardening processes: we find that once they are formed, binaries merge efficiently via binary–single interactions even if these gaseous processes are ignored. We find that the average number of mergers per black hole (BH) is 0.4, and the probability for repeated mergers in 30 Myr is ∼0.21–0.45. High BH masses due to repeated mergers, high eccentricities, and a significant Doppler drift of GWs are promising signatures that distinguish this merger channel from others. Furthermore, we find that gas-capture binaries reproduce the distribution of low-mass X-ray binaries in the Galactic center, including an outer cutoff at ∼1 pc due to the competition between migration and hardening by gas torques."}],"article_processing_charge":"No","user_id":"317138e5-6ab7-11ef-aa6d-ffef3953e345","_id":"17587","title":"Formation and evolution of compact-object binaries in AGN disks","publication_identifier":{"issn":["0004-637X","1538-4357"]},"intvolume":" 898","quality_controlled":"1","extern":"1","main_file_link":[{"url":"https://doi.org/10.3847/1538-4357/ab9b8c","open_access":"1"}],"oa":1,"citation":{"ama":"Tagawa H, Haiman Z, Kocsis B.

Although the signal is too weak to detect in individual galaxies, we analyze the feasibility of its statistical detection via stacking CMB data on many galaxies for which the spin orientation can be estimated spectroscopically. We use an “optimistic” model, in which fully ionized atmospheres contain the cosmic baryon fraction and spin at the halo’s circular velocity 𝑣circ, and a more realistic model, based on hydrodynamical simulations, with multiphase atmospheres spinning at a fraction of 𝑣circ. We incorporate realistic noise estimates into our analysis. Using low-redshift galaxy properties from the MaNGA spectroscopic survey (with median halo mass of 6.6×1011 𝑀⊙), and CMB data quality from Planck, we find that a 3𝜎 detection would require a few×104 galaxies, even in the optimistic model. This is too high for current surveys, but upcoming higher-angular resolution CMB experiments will significantly reduce the requirements: stacking CMB data on galaxy spins in a ∼10 deg2 can rule out the optimistic models, and ≈350 deg2 will suffice for a 3𝜎 detection with ACT. As a proof-of-concept, we stacked Planck data on the position of ≈2,000 MaNGA galaxies, aligned with the galaxies’ projected spin, and scaled to their halos’ angular size.

We consider the effect of H− photodetachment by Lyα cooling radiation trapped in the optically-thick cores of three such haloes, a process that has not been included in previous simulations. Because H− is a precursor of molecular hydrogen, its destruction can diminish the H2 abundance and cooling. We find that the critical UV flux for suppressing H2-cooling is decreased by ∼15–50 per cent in our fiducial models. Previous one-zone modelling found a larger effect, with Jcrit reduced by a factor of a few; we show that adopting a constant halo mass to determine the trapped Lyα energy density, as is done in the one-zone models, yields a larger reduction in Jcrit, consistent with their findings. Our results nevertheless suggest that Lyα radiation may have an important effect on the thermal evolution of UV-irradiated haloes, and therefore on the potential for massive black hole formation."}],"article_processing_charge":"No","scopus_import":"1","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"volume":500,"doi":"10.1093/mnras/staa3057","publication":"Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society","publisher":"Oxford University Press","page":"138-144","status":"public","date_created":"2024-09-05T12:42:37Z","day":"09","type":"journal_article","date_updated":"2024-09-23T12:42:07Z","publication_status":"published","oa_version":"Published Version","year":"2020","date_published":"2020-10-09T00:00:00Z","article_type":"original","author":[{"first_name":"Jemma","last_name":"Wolcott-Green","full_name":"Wolcott-Green, Jemma"},{"full_name":"Haiman, Zoltán","first_name":"Zoltán","last_name":"Haiman","id":"7c006e8c-cc0d-11ee-8322-cb904ef76f36"},{"last_name":"Bryan","first_name":"Greg L","full_name":"Bryan, Greg L"}],"citation":{"ama":"Wolcott-Green J, Haiman Z, Bryan GL.

Measuring the redshift dependence of their merger rate will help probe the formation and evolution of galaxies and the evolution of the star formation rate. Here we compute the cosmic evolution of the merger rate for stellar-mass binaries in the disks of active galactic nuclei (AGNs). We focus on recent evolution out to redshift z = 2, covering the accessible range of current Earth-based gravitational-wave observatories. On this scale, the AGN population density is the main contributor to redshift dependence. We find that the AGN-assisted merger rate varies by less than a factor of two in the range 0 < z ≤ 2, comparable to the expected level of evolution for globular clusters, but much smaller than the order-of-magnitude evolution for field binaries."}],"scopus_import":"1","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"article_number":"138"},{"external_id":{"arxiv":["2007.06529"]},"doi":"10.1103/physrevd.102.123506","volume":102,"article_number":"123506","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"scopus_import":"1","abstract":[{"lang":"eng","text":"Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) are powerful algorithms that have been proven capable of extracting non-Gaussian information from weak lensing (WL) data sets. Understanding which features in the data determine the output of these nested, non-linear algorithms is an important but challenging task. We analyze a DNN that has been found in previous work to accurately recover cosmological parameters in simulated maps of the WL convergence (κ). We derive constraints on the cosmological parameter pair (Ωm,σ8) from a combination of three commonly used WL statistics (power spectrum, lensing peaks, and Minkowski functionals), using ray-traced simulated κ maps. We show that the network can improve the inferred parameter constraints relative to this combination by 20% even in the presence of realistic levels of shape noise. We apply a series of well established saliency methods to interpret the DNN and find that the most relevant pixels are those with extreme κ values. For noiseless maps, regions with negative κ account for 86−69% of the attribution of the DNN output, defined as the square of the saliency in input space. In the presence of shape nose, the attribution concentrates in high convergence regions, with 36−68% of the attribution in regions with κ>3σκ."}],"article_processing_charge":"No","user_id":"317138e5-6ab7-11ef-aa6d-ffef3953e345","date_updated":"2024-09-23T13:04:36Z","arxiv":1,"day":"09","type":"journal_article","status":"public","date_created":"2024-09-05T12:44:45Z","publication":"Physical Review D","publisher":"American Physical Society","issue":"12","citation":{"mla":"Matilla, José Manuel Zorrilla, et al. “Interpreting Deep Learning Models for Weak Lensing.” Physical Review D, vol. 102, no. 12, 123506, American Physical Society, 2020, doi:10.1103/physrevd.102.123506.","ieee":"J.
