Journal ArticleDOI
Stochastic Heating, Differential Flow, and the Alpha-to-Proton Temperature Ratio in the Solar Wind
Benjamin D. G. Chandran,Benjamin D. G. Chandran,Daniel Verscharen,Eliot Quataert,Justin C. Kasper,Philip A. Isenberg,Sofiane Bourouaine +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors derived an analytic expression for the ion-toproton perpendicular temperature ratio in the solar wind for any ion species, assuming that stochastic heating is the dominant ion heating mechanism.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Thermal Bremsstrahlung Model For the Quiescent X-ray Emission from Sagittarius A*
TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider the thermal bremsstrahlung emission from hot accretion flows (Bondi/ADAFs), taking into account the finite size of the observing telescope's beam relative to the Bondi accretion radius (R_A).
Journal ArticleDOI
An Explanation for the Slopes of Stellar Cusps in Galaxy Spheroids
Philip F. Hopkins,Eliot Quataert +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue that the stellar surface density profiles observed are a natural consequence of the gravitational instabilities that dominate angular momentum transport in the gravitational potential of a central massive black hole.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of gravitational-wave recoil on the demography of massive black holes
Piero Madau,Eliot Quataert +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the dynamics of recoiling massive black hole (MBH) binaries following galaxy mergers is studied and its effects on the demography of MBHs at the centers of galaxies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hillenbrand,Michael Hrynewych,Drew Medeiros,Rafael Millan-Gabet,John D. Monnier,D. Morrison,T. Panteleeva,Eliot Quataert,Bill Randolph,B. Smith,K. Summers,Kevin Tsubota,C. Tyau,Nevin N. Weinberg,Ed Wetherell,Peter Wizinowich +25 more
TL;DR: The sensitivity and astrometry upgrade ASTRA of the Keck Interferometer is introduced in this paper, which will provide the KI with the means to observe two objects simultaneously, and measure the distance between them with a precision eventually better than 100 uas.
