Optimal multifrequency weighting for CMB lensing

Posted by klaurent Cambridge

Kavli Affiliate: Blake Sherwin | First 5 Authors: Noah Sailer, Emmanuel Schaan, Simone Ferraro, Omar Darwish, Blake Sherwin | Summary: Extragalactic foregrounds in Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) temperature maps lead to significant biases in CMB lensing reconstruction if not properly accounted for. Combinations of multi-frequency data have been used to minimize the overall map variance […]

Topological Optical Parametric Oscillation

Posted by klaurent Caltech

Kavli Affiliate: Alireza Marandi | First 5 Authors: Arkadev Roy, Midya Parto, Rajveer Nehra, Christian Leefmans, Alireza Marandi | Summary: Topological insulators possess protected boundary states which are robust against disorders and have immense implications in both fermionic and bosonic systems. Harnessing these topological effects in non-equilibrium scenarios is highly desirable and has led to […]

Characterizing the FRB host galaxy population and its connection to transients in the local and extragalactic Universe

Posted by klaurent Peking

Kavli Affiliate: Kejia Lee | First 5 Authors: Shivani Bhandari, Kasper E. Heintz, Kshitij Aggarwal, Lachlan Marnoch, Cherie K. Day | Summary: We present the localization and host galaxies of one repeating and two apparently non-repeating Fast Radio Bursts. FRB20180301A was detected and localized with the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array to a star-forming […]
