Overview and status of EXCLAIM, the experiment for cryogenic large-aperture intensity mapping

Posted by klaurent Chicago

Kavli Affiliate: Jeffrey McMahon | First 5 Authors: Giuseppe Cataldo, Peter Ade, Christopher Anderson, Alyssa Barlis, Emily Barrentine | Summary: The EXperiment for Cryogenic Large-Aperture Intensity Mapping (EXCLAIM) is a balloon-borne far-infrared telescope that will survey star formation history over cosmological time scales to improve our understanding of why the star formation rate declined at […]

Posted by klaurent MIT

Kavli Affiliate: Deepto Chakrabarty | First 5 Authors: Tolga Guver, Tugba Boztepe, Ersin Gogus, Manoneeta Chakraborty, Tod E. Strohmayer | Summary: We report the temporal and spectral analysis of three thermonuclear X-ray bursts from 4U 1608-52, observed by the Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER) during and just after the outburst observed from the source […]

Recovering Density Fields inside Quasar Proximity Zones at $zsim 6$

Posted by klaurent Chicago

Kavli Affiliate: Nickolay Y. Gnedin | First 5 Authors: Huanqing Chen, Nickolay Y. Gnedin, , , | Summary: The matter density field at $zsim 6$ is very challenging to probe. One of the traditional probes of the low density IGM that works successfully at lower redshifts is the Lyman-alpha forest in quasar spectra. However, at […]

Gravitational waves from type II axion-like curvaton model and its implication for NANOGrav result

Posted by klaurent Tokyo

Kavli Affiliate: Masahiro Kawasaki | First 5 Authors: Masahiro Kawasaki, Hiromasa Nakatsuka, , , | Summary: The recent report of NANOGrav is gathering attention since its signal can be explained by the stochastic gravitational waves (GWs) with $Omega_{rm GW}sim 10^{-9}$ at $fsim 10^{-8}$Hz. The PBH formation scenario is one of the candidates for the NANOGrav […]
