Kavli Affiliate: Nickolay Gnedin | First 5 Authors: Enrico Garaldi, Nickolay Gnedin, Piero Madau, , | Summary: We investigate Lyman-$alpha$ transmission spikes at $z > 5$ in synthetic quasar spectra, and discuss their connection to the properties of the intergalactic medium and their ability to constrain reionization models. We use state-of-the-art radiation-hydrodynamic simulations from the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Robert J. Wood | First 5 Authors: Neel Doshi, Kaushik Jayaram, Samantha Castellanos, Scott Kuindersma, Robert J Wood | Summary: Limitations in actuation, sensing, and computation have forced small legged robots to rely on carefully tuned, mechanically mediated leg trajectories for effective locomotion. Recent advances in manufacturing, however, have enabled the development of […]
Kavli Affiliate: Mark Hartz | First 5 Authors: Aysel Kayis Topaksu, Edward Blucher, Bernard Andrieu, Jianming Bian, Byron Roe | Summary: With the discovery of non-zero value of $theta_{13}$ mixing angle, the next generation of long-baseline neutrino (LBN) experiments offers the possibility of obtaining statistically significant samples of muon and electron neutrinos and anti-neutrinos with […]
Kavli Affiliate: Rafe Schindler | First 5 Authors: Joseph DeRose, Risa H. Wechsler, Matthew R. Becker, Michael T. Busha, Eli S. Rykoff | Summary: We present a suite of 18 synthetic sky catalogs designed to support science analysis of galaxies in the Dark Energy Survey Year 1 (DES Y1) data. For each catalog, we use […]
