Candidate Massive Galaxies at $z sim 4$ in the Dark Energy Survey

Kavli Affiliate: Rafe Schindler | First 5 Authors: Pierandrea Guarnieri, Claudia Maraston, Daniel Thomas, Janine Pforr, Violeta Gonzalez-Perez | Summary: Using stellar population models, we predicted that the Dark Energy Survey (DES) – due to its special combination of area (5000 deg. sq.) and depth ($i = 24.3$) – would be in the position to […]

Astrometry and Occultation predictions to Trans-Neptunian and Centaur Objects observed within the Dark Energy Survey

Kavli Affiliate: Alex Drlica Wagner | First 5 Authors: Martin Banda-Huarca, Julio Camargo, Josselin Desmars, Ricardo Ogando, Roberto Vieira-Martins | Summary: Transneptunian objects (TNOs) are a source of invaluable information to access the history and evolution of the outer solar system. However, observing these faint objects is a difficult task. As a consequence, important properties […]

Nonlocal Entanglement and Directional Correlations of Primordial Perturbations on the Inflationary Horizon

Kavli Affiliate: Craig Hogan | First 5 Authors: Craig Hogan, , , , | Summary: Models are developed to estimate properties of relic cosmic perturbations with "spooky" nonlocal correlations on the inflationary horizon, analogous to those previously posited for information on black hole event horizons. Scalar curvature perturbations are estimated to emerge with a dimensionless […]

Magnifications of paired micro-images emerging from a micro-lensing critical curve

Kavli Affiliate: Paul Schechter | First 5 Authors: Luke Weisenbach, Paul Schechter, Joachim Wambsganss, , | Summary: Studies of the inner regions of micro-lensed AGN during caustic crossing events have often relied upon the approximation that the magnification near a fold caustic is inversely proportional to the square root of the source-caustic distance. We examine […]
