Strongly-Interacting Ultralight Millicharged Particles

Kavli Affiliate: David N. Spergel | First 5 Authors: Stephon Alexander, Evan McDonough, David N. Spergel, , | Summary: We consider the implications of an ultra-light fermionic dark matter candidate that carries baryon number. This naturally arises if dark matter has a small charge under standard model baryon number whilst having an asymmetry equal and […]

The Tianlai Dish Pathfinder Array: design, operation and performance of a prototype transit radio interferometer

Kavli Affiliate: Albert Stebbins | First 5 Authors: Fengquan Wu, Jixia Li, Shifan Zuo, Xuelei Chen, Santanu Das | Summary: The Tianlai Dish Pathfinder Array is a radio interferometer designed to test techniques for 21~cm intensity mapping in the post-reionization universe as a means for measuring large-scale cosmic structure. It performs drift scans of the […]

SED Analysis of 13 Spectroscopically Confirmed Galaxies at z$simeq$6 to Constrain UV-Slope, Model Dust Attenuation and Escape Fractions

Kavli Affiliate: Linhua Jiang | First 5 Authors: Junehyoung Jeon, Rogier Windhorst, Seth H. Cohen, Rolf A. Jansen, Brent M. Smith | Summary: The reionization of the hydrogen in the Universe is thought to have completed by redshift $zsimeq5.5-6$. To probe this era, galaxy observations in the Subaru Deep Field (SDF) have identified more than […]

Re-detection and a Possible Time Variation of Soft X-ray Polarisation from the Crab

Kavli Affiliate: Renxin Xu | First 5 Authors: Hua Feng, Hong Li, Xiangyun Long, Ronaldo Bellazzini, Enrico Costa | Summary: The Crab nebula is so far the only celestial object with a statistically significant detection in soft x-ray polarimetry, a window that has not been explored in astronomy since the 1970s. However, soft x-ray polarimetry […]

AI Poincaré: Machine Learning Conservation Laws from Trajectories

Kavli Affiliate: Max Tegmark | First 5 Authors: Ziming Liu, Max Tegmark, , , | Summary: We present AI Poincar’e, a machine learning algorithm for auto-discovering conserved quantities using trajectory data from unknown dynamical systems. We test it on five Hamiltonian systems, including the gravitational 3-body problem, and find that it discovers not only all […]

Constraints on dark matter to dark radiation conversion in the late universe with DES-Y1 and external data

Kavli Affiliate: Aaron Roodman | First 5 Authors: Angela Chen, Dragan Huterer, Sujeong Lee, Agnès Ferté, Noah Weaverdyck | Summary: We study a phenomenological class of models where dark matter converts to dark radiation in the low redshift epoch. This class of models, dubbed DMDR, characterizes the evolution of comoving dark matter density with two […]

Spectral index of the Galactic foreground emission in the 50-87 MHz range

Kavli Affiliate: George Efstathiou | First 5 Authors: Marta Spinelli, Gianni Bernardi, Hugh Garsden, Lincoln J. Greehill, Anastasia Fialkov | Summary: Total-power radiometry with individual meter-wave antennas is a potentially effective way to study the Cosmic Dawn ($zsim20$) through measurement of sky brightness arising from the $21$~cm transition of neutral hydrogen, provided this can be […]

On the Circular Polarisation of Repeating Fast Radio Bursts

Kavli Affiliate: Renxin Xu | First 5 Authors: Shi Dai, Jiguang Lu, Chen Wang, Weiyang Wang, Renxin Xu | Summary: Fast spinning (e.g., sub-second) neutron star with ultra-strong magnetic fields (or so-called magnetar) is one of the promising origins of repeating fast radio bursts (FRBs). Here we discuss circularly polarised emissions produced by propagation effects […]
