Scattering Loss in Precision Metrology due to Mirror Roughness

Kavli Affiliate: Rana X. Adhikari | First 5 Authors: Yehonathan Drori, Johannes Eichholz, Tega Edo, Hiro Yamamoto, Yutaro Enomoto | Summary: Optical losses degrade the sensitivity of laser interferometric instruments. They reduce the number of signal photons and introduce technical noise associated with diffuse light. In quantum-enhanced metrology, they break the entanglement between correlated photons. […]

Probabilistic Mass Mapping with Neural Score Estimation

Kavli Affiliate: Jia Liu | First 5 Authors: Benjamin Remy, Francois Lanusse, Niall Jeffrey, Jia Liu, Jean-Luc Starck | Summary: Weak lensing mass-mapping is a useful tool to access the full distribution of dark matter on the sky, but because of intrinsic galaxy ellipticies and finite fields/missing data, the recovery of dark matter maps constitutes […]

Systematic biases in determining dust attenuation curves through galaxy SED fitting

Kavli Affiliate: Yingjie Peng | First 5 Authors: Jianbo Qin, Xian Zhong Zheng, Min Fang, Zhizheng Pan, Stijn Wuyts | Summary: While the slope of the dust attenuation curve ($delta$) is found to correlate with effective dust attenuation ($A_V$) as obtained through spectral energy distribution (SED) fitting, it remains unknown how the fitting degeneracies shape […]

ALMaQUEST — VII: Star Formation Scaling Relations of Green Valley Galaxies

Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: Lihwai Lin, Sara L. Ellison, Hsi-An Pan, Mallory Thorp, Po-Chieh Yu | Summary: We utilize the ALMA-MaNGA QUEnch and STar formation (ALMaQUEST) survey to investigate the kpc-scale scaling relations, presented as the resolved star forming main sequence (rSFMS: $Sigma_{rm SFR}$ vs. $Sigma_{*}$), the resolved Schmidt-Kennicutt relation (rSK: […]

Lensing or luck? False alarm probabilities for gravitational lensing of gravitational waves

Kavli Affiliate: Daniel E. Holz | First 5 Authors: Mesut Çalışkan, Jose María Ezquiaga, Otto A. Hannuksela, Daniel E. Holz, | Summary: Strong gravitational lensing of gravitational waves (GWs) has been forecasted to become detectable in the upcoming observing runs. However, definitively distinguishing pairs of lensed sources from random associations is a challenging problem. We […]
