Kavli Affiliate: Michael D. Gladders | First 5 Authors: Michael N. Martinez, Kate A. Napier, Aidan P. Cloonan, Ezra Sukay, Katya Gozman | Summary: In the third paper from the COOL-LAMPS Collaboration, we report the discovery of COOL J0542-2125, a gravitationally lensed quasar at $z=1.84$, observed as three images due to an intervening massive galaxy […]
Kavli Affiliate: Risa H. Wechsler | First 5 Authors: David J. Schlegel, Simone Ferraro, Greg Aldering, Charles Baltay, Segev BenZvi | Summary: In this white paper, we present an experimental road map for spectroscopic experiments beyond DESI. DESI will be a transformative cosmological survey in the 2020s, mapping 40 million galaxies and quasars and capturing […]
Kavli Affiliate: Michael D. Gladders | First 5 Authors: Keren Sharon, Guillaume Mahler, T. Emil Rivera-Thorsen, Hakon Dahle, Michael D. Gladders | Summary: We present a strong lensing analysis of the cluster PSZ1 G311.65-18.48, based on Hubble Space Telescope imaging, archival VLT/MUSE spectroscopy, and Chandra X-ray data. This cool-core cluster (z=0.443) lenses the brightest lensed […]
Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: Angus Beane, Lars Hernquist, Elena D’Onghia, Federico Marinacci, Charlie Conroy | Summary: Elongated bar-like features are ubiquitous in galaxies, occurring at the centers of approximately two-thirds of spiral disks. Due to gravitational interactions between the bar and the other components of galaxies, it is expected that angular […]
Kavli Affiliate: John D. Silverman | First 5 Authors: Xuheng Ding, John D. Silverman, Masafusa Onoue, , | Summary: We measure the host galaxy properties of five quasars with $zsim 1.6 – 3.5$ selected from SDSS and AEGIS, which fall within the JWST/HST CEERS survey area. A PSF library is constructed based on stars in […]
Kavli Affiliate: Rana Adhikari | Summary:Current laser-interferometric gravitational wave detectors suffer from a fundamental limit to their precision due to the displacement noise of optical elements contributed by various sources. Several schemes for Displacement-Noise Free Interferometers (DFI) have been proposed to mitigate their effects. The idea behind these schemes is similar to decoherence-free subspaces in […]
Kavli Affiliate: Lijing Shao | First 5 Authors: Lijing Shao, Kent Yagi, , , | Summary: Neutron stars are versatile in their application to studying various important aspects of fundamental physics, in particular strong-field gravity tests and the equation of state for super-dense nuclear matter at low temperatures. However, in many cases these two objectives […]
Kavli Affiliate: Kristin A. Persson | First 5 Authors: Ruo Xi Yang, Matthew K. Horton, Jason Munro, Kristin A. Persson, | Summary: An optical absorption spectrum constitutes one of the most fundamental material characteristics, with relevant applications ranging from material identification to energy harvesting and optoelectronics. However, the database of both experimental and computational spectra […]
Kavli Affiliate: Austin Minnich | Summary:We report the on-wafer characterization of $S$-parameters and microwave noise temperature ($T_50$) of discrete metamorphic InGaAs high electron mobility transistors (mHEMTs) at 40 K and 300 K and over a range of drain-source voltages ($V_DS$). From these data, we extract a small-signal model and the drain (output) noise current power […]
Kavli Affiliate: Risa H. Wechsler | First 5 Authors: Ethan O. Nadler, Philip Mansfield, Yunchong Wang, Xiaolong Du, Susmita Adhikari | Summary: We present Symphony, a compilation of $262$ cosmological, cold dark matter-only zoom-in simulations spanning four decades of host halo mass, from $10^{11}~M_{mathrm{odot}}$ to $10^{15}~M_{mathrm{odot}}$. This compilation includes three existing simulation suites at the […]
