Evolving Dark Energy or Supernovae Systematics?

Kavli Affiliate: George Efstathiou | First 5 Authors: George Efstathiou, , , , | Summary: Recent results from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) collaboration have been interpreted as evidence for evolving dark energy. However, this interpretation is strongly dependent on which Type Ia supernova (SN) sample is combined with DESI measurements of baryon acoustic […]

Spontaneous calcium transients in hair cell stereocilia

Kavli Affiliate: Dwight Bergles | Authors: Saman Hussain, Miloslav Sedlacek, Runjia Cui, Wendy Zhang-Hooks, Dwight E Bergles, Jung-Bum Shin, Katie Kindt and Bechara Kachar | Summary: The hair bundle of auditory and vestibular hair cells converts mechanical stimuli into electrical signals through mechanoelectrical transduction (MET). The MET apparatus is built around a tip link that […]

Quantifying Bursty Star Formation in Dwarf Galaxies

Kavli Affiliate: Alexander P. Ji | First 5 Authors: Yuan-Sen Ting, Alexander P. Ji, , , | Summary: Dwarf galaxy star formation histories are theoretically expected to be bursty, potentially leaving distinct imprints on their chemical evolution. We propose that episodic starbursts with quiescent periods longer than $sim$100 Myr should lead to discontinuous tracks in […]

Entanglement dynamics in 2d HCFTs on the curved background: the case of q-Möbius Hamiltonian

Kavli Affiliate: Masahiro Nozaki | First 5 Authors: Chen Bai, Akihiro Miyata, Masahiro Nozaki, , | Summary: We will explore the dynamical property of non-equilibrium phenomena induced by two-dimensional holographic conformal field theory (2d holographic CFT) Hamiltonian on the curved spacetime by studying the time dependence of the entanglement entropy and mutual information. Here, holographic […]

Modeling parity-violating spectra in Galactic dust polarization with filaments and its applications to cosmic birefringence searches

Kavli Affiliate: Susan E. Clark | First 5 Authors: Carlos Hervías-Caimapo, Ari J. Cukierman, Patricia Diego-Palazuelos, Kevin M. Huffenberger, Susan E. Clark | Summary: We extend the dust-filament-based model presented in Herv’ias-Caimapo & Huffenberger 2022 to produce parity-violating foreground spectra by manipulating the filament orientations relative to the magnetic field. We calibrate our model to […]
