Development of the 220/270 GHz Receiver of BICEP Array

Posted by dbos Stanford

Kavli Affiliate: Chao-Lin Kuo | First 5 Authors: The BICEP/Keck Collaboration, :, Y. Nakato, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed | Summary: Measurements of B-mode polarization in the CMB sourced from primordial gravitational waves would provide information on the energy scale of inflation and its potential form. To achieve these goals, one must carefully characterize […]

Cosmological limits on the neutrino mass sum for beyond-$Λ$CDM models

Posted by dbos Cambridge

Kavli Affiliate: Blake Sherwin | First 5 Authors: Helen Shao, Jahmour J. Givans, Jo Dunkley, Mathew Madhavacheril, Frank Qu | Summary: The sum of cosmic neutrino masses can be measured cosmologically, as the sub-eV particles behave as `hot’ dark matter whose main effect is to suppress the clustering of matter compared to a universe with […]

Targeting 100-PeV tau neutrino detection with an array of phased and high-gain reconstruction antennas

Posted by dbos Chicago

Kavli Affiliate: Cosmin Deaconu | First 5 Authors: Stephanie Wissel, Andrew Zeolla, Cosmin Deaconu, Valentin Decoene, Kaeli Hughes | Summary: Neutrinos at ultrahigh energies can originate both from interactions of cosmic rays at their acceleration sites and through cosmic-ray interactions as they propagate through the universe. These neutrinos are expected to have a low flux […]

Fragments of harmony amid apparent chaos: a closer look at the X-ray quasi-periodic eruptions of the galaxy RX J1301.9+2747

Posted by dbos MIT

Kavli Affiliate: Erin Kara | First 5 Authors: Margherita Giustini, Giovanni Miniutti, Riccardo Arcodia, Adelle Goodwin, Kate D. Alexander | Summary: Quasi-periodic eruptions (QPEs) are an extreme X-ray variability phenomenon associated with low-mass supermassive black holes. First discovered in the nucleus of the galaxy GSN 069, they have been so far securely detected in five […]

The Formation of Milky Way “Bones”: Ubiquitous HI Narrow Self-Absorption Associated with CO Emission

Posted by dbos Peking

Kavli Affiliate: Ke Wang | First 5 Authors: Shenglan Sun, Ke Wang, Xunchuan Liu, Fengwei Xu, | Summary: Long and skinny molecular filaments running along Galactic spiral arms are known as "bones", since they make up the skeleton of the Milky Way. However, their origin is still an open question. Here, we compare spectral images […]
