Searching for Dark Galaxies with HI detection from the Arecibo Legacy Fast ALFA (ALFALFA) survey Open
We present a catalog of 142 dark galaxy candidates in a region covered by the Arecibo Legacy Fast ALFA (ALFALFA) survey. We start with 344 ALFALFA HI sources without optical counterparts and remove those that do not seem to have dark galax…

Microscale velocity-dependent unbinding generates a macroscale performance-efficiency tradeoff in actomyosin systems Open
Myosin motors are fundamental biological actuators, powering diverse mechanical tasks in eukaryotic cells via ATP hydrolysis. Recent work revealed that myosin's velocity-dependent detachment rate can bridge actomyosin dynamics to macroscal…

Dark no more: The low luminosity stellar counterpart of a dark cloud in the Virgo cluster Open
We have discovered the stellar counterpart to the ALFALFA Virgo 7 cloud complex, which has been thought to be optically dark and nearly star-free since its discovery in 2007. This ~190 kpc long chain of enormous atomic gas clouds ($M_\math…

A Restless Supermassive Black Hole in the Galaxy J0437+2456 Open
We present the results from an observing campaign to confirm the peculiar motion of the supermassive black hole (SMBH) in J0437+2456 first reported in Pesce et al. Deep observations with the Arecibo Observatory have yielded a detection of …
