The Occurrence of Rocky Habitable Zone Planets Around Solar-Like Stars from Kepler Data

Kavli Affiliate: Christopher J. Burke | First 5 Authors: Steve Bryson, Michelle Kunimoto, Ravi K. Kopparapu, Jeffrey L. Coughlin, William J. Borucki | Summary: We present occurrence rates for rocky planets in the habitable zones (HZ) of main-sequence dwarf stars based on the Kepler DR25 planet candidate catalog and Gaia-based stellar properties. We provide the […]

Fast computation of angular power spectra and covariances of high-resolution cosmic microwave background maps using the Toeplitz approximation

Kavli Affiliate: Anthony Challinor | First 5 Authors: Thibaut Louis, Sigurd Naess, Xavier Garrido, Anthony Challinor, | Summary: We present a simple approximation that can speed up the computation of the mode-coupling matrices, which are usually the bottleneck for computing unbiased angular power spectra, as well as their associated covariance matrices, of the cosmic microwave […]

Limitations of CMB B-mode template delensing

Kavli Affiliate: Anthony Challinor | First 5 Authors: Antón Baleato Lizancos, Anthony Challinor, Julien Carron, , | Summary: Efforts to detect a primordial $B$-mode of CMB polarization generated by inflationary gravitational waves ought to mitigate the large variance associated with the $B$-modes produced by gravitational lensing, a process known as delensing. A popular approach to […]

Diffusing wave spectroscopy: a unified treatment on temporal sampling and speckle ensemble methods

Kavli Affiliate: Changhuei Yang | First 5 Authors: Jian Xu, Ali K. Jahromi, Changhuei Yang, , | Summary: Diffusing wave spectroscopy (DWS) is a well-known set of methods to measure the temporal dynamics of dynamic samples. In DWS, dynamic samples scatter the incident coherent light, and the information of the temporal dynamics is encoded in […]

Hierarchical Inference With Bayesian Neural Networks: An Application to Strong Gravitational Lensing

Kavli Affiliate: Philip J. Marshall | First 5 Authors: Sebastian Wagner-Carena, Ji Won Park, Simon Birrer, Philip J. Marshall, Aaron Roodman | Summary: In the past few years, approximate Bayesian Neural Networks (BNNs) have demonstrated the ability to produce statistically consistent posteriors on a wide range of inference problems at unprecedented speed and scale. However, […]

Nonabelian stable envelopes, vertex functions with descendents, and integral solutions of $q$-difference equations

Kavli Affiliate: Andrei Okounkov | First 5 Authors: Andrei Okounkov, , , , | Summary: We generalize the construction of elliptic stable envelopes to actions of connected reductive groups and give a direct inductive proof of their existence and uniqueness in a rather general situation. We show these have powerful enumerative applications, in particular, to […]

Phase Curves of Hot Neptune LTT 9779b Suggest a High-Metallicity Atmosphere

Kavli Affiliate: Christopher J. Burke | First 5 Authors: Ian J. M. Crossfield, Diana Dragomir, Nicolas B. Cowan, Tansu Daylan, Ian Wong | Summary: Phase curve measurements provide a global view of the composition, thermal structure, and dynamics of exoplanet atmospheres. Although most of the dozens of phase curve measurements made to date are of […]

NetSquid, a NETwork Simulator for QUantum Information using Discrete events

Kavli Affiliate: Stephanie Wehner | First 5 Authors: Tim Coopmans, Robert Knegjens, Axel Dahlberg, David Maier, Loek Nijsten | Summary: In order to bring quantum networks into the real world, we would like to determine the requirements of quantum network protocols including the underlying quantum hardware. Because detailed architecture proposals are generally too complex for […]

The Cosmic Ultraviolet Baryon Survey (CUBS) II: Discovery of an H$_{2}$-Bearing DLA in the Vicinity of an Early-Type Galaxy at z = 0.576

Kavli Affiliate: Robert A. Simcoe | First 5 Authors: Erin Boettcher, Hsiao-Wen Chen, Fakhri S. Zahedy, Thomas J. Cooper, Sean D. Johnson | Summary: We report the serendipitous detection of an H$_{2}$-bearing damped Lyman-$alpha$ absorber at z = 0.576 in the spectrum of the QSO J0111-0316 in the Cosmic Ultraviolet Baryon Survey. Spectroscopic observations from […]
