Smallest Remnants of Early Matter Domination

Kavli Affiliate: Albert Stebbins | First 5 Authors: Gabriela Barenboim, Nikita Blinov, Albert Stebbins, , | Summary: The evolution of the universe prior to Big Bang Nucleosynthesis could have gone through a phase of early matter domination (EMD) which enhanced the growth of small-scale dark matter structure. If EMD was long enough, self-gravitating objects formed […]

Modeling Nearest Neighbor distributions of biased tracers using Hybrid Effective Field Theory

Kavli Affiliate: Tom Abel | First 5 Authors: Arka Banerjee, Nickolas Kokron, Tom Abel, , | Summary: We investigate the application of Hybrid Effective Field Theory (HEFT) — which combines a Lagrangian bias expansion with subsequent particle dynamics from $N$-body simulations — to the modeling of $k$-Nearest Neighbor Cumulative Distribution Functions ($k{rm NN}$-${rm CDF}$s) of […]

UV Fluorescence Traces Gas and LyA Evolution in Protoplanetary Disks

Kavli Affiliate: Gregory J. Herczeg | First 5 Authors: Nicole Arulanantham, Kevin France, Keri Hoadley, P. C. Schneider, Catherine C. Espaillat | Summary: Ultraviolet spectra of protoplanetary disks trace distributions of warm gas at radii where rocky planets form. We combine HST-COS observations of H2 and CO emission from 12 classical T Tauri stars to […]

Analysis of Polarimetry Data with Angular Uncertainties

Kavli Affiliate: Herman L. Marshall | First 5 Authors: Herman L. Marshall, , , , | Summary: For a track based polarimeter, such as the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE), the sensitivity to polarization depends on the modulation factor, which is a strong function of energy. In previous work, a likelihood method was developed that […]

Femtojoule, femtosecond all-optical switching in lithium niobate nanophotonics

Kavli Affiliate: Alireza Marandi | First 5 Authors: Qiushi Guo, Ryoto Sekine, Luis Ledezma, Rajveer Nehra, Devin J. Dean | Summary: Optical nonlinear functions are crucial for various applications in integrated photonics, such as all-optical information processing, photonic neural networks and on-chip ultrafast light sources. Due to the weak nonlinearities in most integrated photonic platforms, […]
