Dark matter may be detected in X-ray decay, including from the decay of the dark matter particles that make up the Milky Way (MW) halo. We use a range of density profiles to compute X-ray line intensity profiles, with a focus on the resonantly produc...

Spatial migration of temporal earthquake clusters driven by the transfer of differential stress between neighbouring fault/shear-zone structures (2024)
Journal Article
Roberts, G., Sgambato, C., Mildon, Z., Iezzi, F., Beck, J., Robertson, J., …Mitchell, S. (2024). Spatial migration of temporal earthquake clusters driven by the transfer of differential stress between neighbouring fault/shear-zone structures. Journal of Structural Geology, 181, Article 105096. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jsg.2024.105096

Uncertainty concerning the processes responsible for slip-rate fluctuations associated with temporal clustering of surface faulting earthquakes is a fundamental, unresolved issue in tectonics, because strain-rates accommodated by fault/shear-zone str...

A new test of gravity – I. Introduction to the method (2024)
Journal Article
Armijo, J., Baugh, C. M., Norberg, P., & Padilla, N. D. (2024). A new test of gravity – I. Introduction to the method. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 529(3), 2866-2876. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stae719

We introduce a new scheme based on the marked correlation function to probe gravity using the large-scale structure of the Universe. We illustrate our approach by applying it to simulations of the metric-variation f(R) modified gravity theory and gen... Read More about A new test of gravity – I. Introduction to the method.

The origin of lopsided satellite galaxy distribution around isolated systems in MillenniumTNG (2024)
Journal Article
Liu, Y., Wang, P., Guo, H., Springel, V., Bose, S., Pakmor, R., & Hernquist, L. (2024). The origin of lopsided satellite galaxy distribution around isolated systems in MillenniumTNG. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 529(2), 1405-1413. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stae625

Dwarf satellites in galaxy groups are distributed in an anisotropic and asymmetric manner, which is called the ‘lopsided satellite distribution’. This lopsided signal has been observed not only in galaxy pairs but also in isolated systems. However, t...

The effect of different types of virtual influencers on consumers’ emotional attachment (2024)
Journal Article
Yan, J., Xia, S., Jiang, A., & Lin, Z. (2024). The effect of different types of virtual influencers on consumers’ emotional attachment. Journal of Business Research, 177, Article 114646. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jbusres.2024.114646

A virtual influencer (VI) is a computer-generated, imagery-based digital character. It has become one of the hottest marketing trends, motivating researchers to investigate how consumers perceive VIs. However, consumers’ emotional attachment and bene...
