Effects of overlapping sources on cosmic shear estimation: Statistical sensitivity and pixel-noise bias

Kavli Affiliate: Patricia R. Burchat | First 5 Authors: Javier Sanchez, Ismael Mendoza, David P. Kirkby, Patricia R. Burchat, | Summary: In Stage-IV imaging surveys, a significant amount of the cosmologically useful information is due to sources whose images overlap with those of other sources on the sky. The cosmic shear signal is primarily encoded […]

OPTIMADE, an API for exchanging materials data

Kavli Affiliate: Kristin A. Persson | First 5 Authors: Casper W. Andersen, Rickard Armiento, Evgeny Blokhin, Gareth J. Conduit, Shyam Dwaraknath | Summary: The Open Databases Integration for Materials Design (OPTIMADE) consortium has designed a universal application programming interface (API) to make materials databases accessible and interoperable. We outline the first stable release of the […]

Formation of an extended stellar halo around an ultra-faint dwarf galaxy following one of the earliest mergers from galactic building blocks

Kavli Affiliate: Anna Frebel | First 5 Authors: Yuta Tarumi, Naoki Yoshida, Anna Frebel, , | Summary: Ultra-faint dwarf galaxies (UFDs) are promising observable proxies to building blocks of galaxies formed in the early Universe. We study the formation and evolution of UFDs using cosmological hydrodynamic simulations. In particular, we show that a major merger […]

Dynamical Evolution of Voids with Surrounding Gravitational Tidal Field

Kavli Affiliate: Naoshi Sugiyama | First 5 Authors: Mutsumi Minoguchi, Atsushi J. Nishizawa, Tsutomu T. Takeuchi, Naoshi Sugiyama, | Summary: The void ellipticity distribution today can be well explained by the tidal field. Going a step further from the overall distribution, we investigate individuality on the tidal response of void shape in non-linear dynamical evolution. […]
