Kavli Affiliate: Keith C. Schwab| First 5 Authors: Jonathan P. Gardner, Jonathan P. Gardner, , , | Summary:Twenty-six years ago a small committee report, building on earlier studies, expounded a compelling and poetic vision for the future of astronomy, calling for an infrared-optimized space telescope with an aperture of at least $4m$. With the support […]

Chen | Summary: Goal-directed tasks involve acquiring an internal model, known as a predictive map, of relevant stimuli and associated outcomes to guide behavior. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Linhua Jiang | Summary:The formation of the first supermassive black holes is expected to have occurred in some most pronounced matter and galaxy overdensities in the early universe. We have conducted a sub-mm wavelength continuum survey of 54 $zsim6$ quasars using the Submillimeter Common-User Bolometre Array-2 (SCUBA2) on the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope […]

Kavli Affiliate: Radomir Smida | Summary:Oscura is a proposed multi-kg skipper-CCD experiment designed for a dark matter (DM) direct detection search that will reach unprecedented sensitivity to sub-GeV DM-electron interactions with its 10 kg detector array. Oscura is planning to operate at SNOLAB with 2070 m overburden, and aims to reach a background goal of […]
Kavli Affiliate: Todor Milanov | Summary:Let $X$ be a smooth projective variety with a semisimple quantum cohomology. It is known that the blowup $operatornameBl_rm pt(X)$ of $X$ at one point also has semisimple quantum cohomology. In particular, the monodromy group of the quantum cohomology of $operatornameBl_rm pt(X)$ is a reflectiongroup. We found explicit formulas for […]
