Universal lower bound on the axion decay constant from free streaming effects

Kavli Affiliate: Wayne Hu | First 5 Authors: Keisuke Harigaya, Wayne Hu, Rayne Liu, Huangyu Xiao, | Summary: We show that enhancement of the axion relic abundance compared to the standard misalignment contribution generically leads to the production of nonzero momentum axion modes, resulting in warm dark matter behavior and enhanced isocurvature perturbations. It leads […]

Data Can Speak for Itself: Quality-guided Utilization of Wireless Synthetic Data

Kavli Affiliate: Wei Gao | First 5 Authors: Chen Gong, Bo Liang, Wei Gao, Chenren Xu, | Summary: Generative models have gained significant attention for their ability to produce realistic synthetic data that supplements the quantity of real-world datasets. While recent studies show performance improvements in wireless sensing tasks by incorporating all synthetic data into […]

Kilonova constraints for the LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA neutron star merger candidate S250206dm: GW-MMADS observations

Kavli Affiliate: Daniel E. Holz | First 5 Authors: Lei Hu, Tomás Cabrera, Antonella Palmese, James Freeburn, Mattia Bulla | Summary: Gravitational wave (GW) neutron star mergers with an associated electromagnetic counterpart constitute powerful probes of binary evolution, the production sites of heavy elements, general relativity, and the expansion of the universe. Only a handful […]

Increasing single-photon production with cavity-QED

Kavli Affiliate: John E. Bowers | First 5 Authors: Chen Shang, Weng W. Chow, Galan Moody, John E. Bowers, | Summary: A study was performed to determine the extent cavity enhancement may increase single-photon production while maintaining single-photon purity. It was found that certain combinations of cavity lifetime and light-matter coupling strength can lead to […]

TDCOSMO XXIII. First spatially resolved kinematics of the lens galaxy obtained using JWST-NIRSpec to improve time-delay cosmography

Kavli Affiliate: Joshua A. Frieman | First 5 Authors: Anowar J. Shajib, Tommaso Treu, Sherry H. Suyu, David Law, Akın Yıldırım | Summary: Spatially resolved stellar kinematics has become a key ingredient in time-delay cosmography to break the mass-sheet degeneracy in the mass profile and, in turn, provide a precise constraint on the Hubble constant […]

Sifting for a Stream: The Morphology of the $300S$ Stellar Stream

Kavli Affiliate: Alexander P. Ji | First 5 Authors: Benjamin Cohen, Alexander P. Ji, Peter S. Ferguson, Sergey E. Koposov, Alex Drlica-Wagner | Summary: Stellar streams are sensitive laboratories for understanding the small-scale structure in our Galaxy’s gravitational field. Here, we analyze the morphology of the $300S$ stellar stream, which has an eccentric, retrograde orbit […]
