Kavli Affiliate: Lina Necib | First 5 Authors: Lina Necib, Tongyan Lin, , , | Summary: Measuring the escape velocity of the Milky Way is critical in obtaining the mass of the Milky Way, understanding the dark matter velocity distribution, and building the dark matter density profile. In Necib $&$ Lin (2021), we introduced a […]
Kavli Affiliate: Frank Wilczek | First 5 Authors: Lu-Chuan Liu, Luo-Yuan Qu, Cheng Wu, Jordan Cotler, Fei Ma | Summary: Interferometers are widely used in imaging technologies to achieve enhanced spatial resolution, but require that the incoming photons be indistinguishable. In previous work, we built and analyzed color erasure detectors which expand the scope of […]
Kavli Affiliate: Huawei Zhang | First 5 Authors: Fangzhou Ren, Richard de Grijs, Huawei Zhang, Licai Deng, Xiaodian Chen | Summary: We present a catalog of eclipsing binaries in the northern Galactic Plane from the Kiso Wide-Field Camera Intensive Survey of the Galactic Plane (KISOGP). We visually identified 7055 eclipsing binaries spread across $sim$330 square […]
Kavli Affiliate: Richard Kessler | First 5 Authors: Brodie Popovic, Dillon Brout, Richard Kessler, Dan Scolnic, Lisa Lu | Summary: Improving the use of Type Ia supernovae (SNIa) as standard candles requires a better approach to incorporate the relationship between SNIa and the properties of their host galaxies. Using a spectroscopically-confirmed sample of $sim$1600 SNIa, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Shunsaku Horiuchi | First 5 Authors: Natalia Tapia Arellano, Shunsaku Horiuchi, , , | Summary: Measuring the solar neutrino flux over gigayear timescales could provide a new window to inform the Solar Standard Model as well as studies of the Earth’s long-term climate. We demonstrate the feasibility of measuring the time-evolution of the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Lina Necib | First 5 Authors: Lina Necib, Tongyan Lin, , , | Summary: The local escape velocity provides valuable inputs to the mass profile of the Galaxy, and requires understanding the tail of the stellar speed distribution. Following Leonard $&$ Tremaine (1990), various works have since modeled the tail of the stellar […]
Kavli Affiliate: Linhua Jiang | First 5 Authors: Linhua Jiang, Shu Wang, Bing Zhang, Nobunari Kashikawa, Luis C. Ho | Summary: In Jiang et al. (2020), we reported a possible bright flash (hereafter GN-z11-flash) from a galaxy GN-z11 at z ~ 11. Recently, Steinhardt et al. (2021; arXiv:2101.12738) found 27 images with transient signals in […]
Kavli Affiliate: Tom Abel | First 5 Authors: Arka Banerjee, Tom Abel, , , | Summary: Cross-correlations between datasets are used in many different contexts in cosmological analyses. Recently, $k$-Nearest Neighbor Cumulative Distribution Functions ($k{rm NN}$-${rm CDF}$) were shown to be sensitive probes of cosmological (auto) clustering. In this paper, we extend the framework of […]
Kavli Affiliate: Hector D. Abruna | First 5 Authors: Yihuang Xiong, Quinn T. Campbell, Julian Fanghanel, Catherine K. Badding, Huaiyu Wang | Summary: The production of hydrogen fuels, via water splitting, is of practical relevance for meeting global energy needs and mitigating the environmental consequences of fossil-fuel-based transportation. Water photoelectrolysis has been proposed as a […]
Kavli Affiliate: Nathan P. Lourie | First 5 Authors: Nathan P. Lourie, John W. Baker, Richard S. Burruss, Mark Egan, Gábor Fűrész | Summary: The Wide-Field Infrared Transient Explorer (WINTER) is a new infrared time-domain survey instrument which will be deployed on a dedicated 1 meter robotic telescope at Palomar Observatory. WINTER will perform a […]
