Kavli Affiliate: John D. Silverman | First 5 Authors: Xuheng Ding, Simon Birrer, Tommaso Treu, John D. Silverman, | Summary: Galight is a Python-based open-source package that can be used to perform two-dimensional model fitting of optical and near-infrared images to characterize the light distribution of galaxies with components including a disk, bulge, bar, and […]
Kavli Affiliate: Risa Wechsler | First 5 Authors: Yunchong Wang, Shude Mao, Mark Vogelsberger, Volker Springel, Lars Hernquist | Summary: Early-type galaxies (ETGs) possess total radial density profiles that are largely described by singular isothermal spheres, which can lead to non-Gaussian line-of-sight velocity dispersion (LOSVD) under anisotropic stellar orbits. However, recent observations of local ETGs […]
Kavli Affiliate: David N. Spergel | First 5 Authors: Pablo Villanueva-Domingo, Francisco Villaescusa-Navarro, Daniel Anglés-Alcázar, Shy Genel, Federico Marinacci | Summary: Understanding the halo-galaxy connection is fundamental in order to improve our knowledge on the nature and properties of dark matter. In this work we build a model that infers the mass of a halo […]
Kavli Affiliate: Ran Wang | First 5 Authors: Ran Wang, Beibei Zhang, , , | Summary: In this paper, we establish a large deviation principle for the stochastic generalized Ginzburg-Landau equation driven by jump noise. The main difficulties come from the highly non-linear coefficient. Here we adopt a new sufficient condition for the weak convergence […]
Kavli Affiliate: Sunil Golwala | First 5 Authors: Osmond Wen, Taylor Aralis, Ritoban Basu Thakur, Bruce Bumble, Yen-Yung Chang | Summary: Detection of sub-GeV dark matter candidates requires sub-keV detector thresholds on deposited energy. We provide an update on a gram-scale phonon-mediated KID-based device that was designed for a dark matter search in this mass […]
Kavli Affiliate: David T. Limmer | First 5 Authors: Aditya N. Singh, David T. Limmer, , , | Summary: We use molecular dynamics simulations to study the thermodynamics and kinetics of alanine dipeptide isomerization at the air-water interface. Thermodynamically, we find an affinity of the dipeptide to the interface. This affinity arises from stablizing intramolecular […]
Kavli Affiliate: Marshall Bautz | First 5 Authors: Charlotte Feldman, Paul O’Brien, Nicholas White, Wayne Baumgartner, Nicholas Thomas | Summary: The Lobster Eye X-ray Telescope (LEXT) is one of the payloads on-board the Gamow Explorer, which will be proposed to the 2021 NASA Explorer MIDEX opportunity. If approved, it will be launched in 2028, and […]

Kavli Affiliate: Kunio Inoue | First 5 Authors: M. Sajjad Athar, Steven W. Barwick, Thomas Brunner, Jun Cao, Mikhail Danilov | Summary: This review demonstrates the unique role of the neutrino by discussing in detail the physics of and with neutrinos. We deal with neutrino sources, neutrino oscillations, absolute masses, interactions, the possible existence of […]
