Gravitational lensing rarely produces high-mass outliers to the compact binary population

Posted by klaurent July 10, 2025Chicago

Kavli Affiliate: Daniel Holz| First 5 Authors: Amanda Farah, Amanda Farah, , , | Summary:All gravitational-wave signals are inevitably gravitationally lensed by intervening matter as they propagate through the Universe. When a gravitational-wave signal is magnified, it appears to have originated from a closer, more massive system. Thus, high-mass outliers to the gravitational-wave source population […]

The Richness of CSP Non-redundancy

Posted by klaurent July 10, 2025Caltech

Kavli Affiliate: G. Ravichandran| First 5 Authors: [#item_custom_name[1, [#item_custom_name[2, [#item_custom_name[3, [#item_custom_name[4, [#item_custom_name[5| Summary:In the field of constraint satisfaction problems (CSP), a clause is called redundant if its satisfaction is implied by satisfying all other clauses. An instance of CSP$(P)$ is called non-redundant if it does not contain any redundant clause. The non-redundancy (NRD) of a […]

The z=1.03 Merging Cluster SPT-CL J0356-5337: New Strong Lensing Analysis with HST and MUSE

Posted by klaurent July 10, 2025Chicago

Kavli Affiliate: Bradford Benson| First 5 Authors: Grace Smith, Grace Smith, , , | Summary:We present a strong lensing analysis and reconstruct the mass distribution of SPT-CL J0356-5337, a galaxy cluster at redshift z = 1.034. Our model supersedes previous models by making use of new multi-band HST data and MUSE spectroscopy. We identify two […]

Digital Salon: An AI and Physics-Driven Tool for 3D Hair Grooming and Simulation

Posted by klaurent July 10, 2025July 21, 2025UCAS

Kavli Affiliate: Yi Zhou | First 5 Authors: Chengan He, Chengan He, , , | Summary: We introduce Digital Salon, a comprehensive hair authoring system that supports real-time 3D hair generation, simulation, and rendering. Unlike existing methods that focus on isolated parts of 3D hair modeling and involve a heavy computation process or network training, […]

CLASS_SZ II: Notes and Examples of Fast and Accurate Calculations of Halo Model, Large Scale Structure and Cosmic Microwave Background Observables

Posted by klaurent July 10, 2025Cambridge

Kavli Affiliate: Blake Sherwin | Summary:These notes are very much work-in-progress and simply intended to showcase, in various degrees of details (and rigour), some of the cosmology calculations that class_sz can do. We describe the class_sz code in C, Python and Jax. Based on the Boltzmann code class, it can compute a wide range of […]

The Unhurried Universe: A Continued Search for Long Term Variability in ASAS-SN

Posted by klaurent July 9, 2025Peking

Kavli Affiliate: Subo Dong | Summary:We search a sample of 5,685,060 isolated sources in the All Sky Automated Survey for SuperNovae (ASAS-SN) with 14.5<g<15 mag for slowly varying sources with brightness changes larger than ~0.03 mag/year over 10 years. We find 426 slowly-varying systems. Of these systems, 200 are identified as variables for the first […]

The Nineteenth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey

Posted by klaurent July 9, 2025Chicago

Kavli Affiliate: Alexander Ji | Summary:Mapping the local and distant Universe is key to our understanding of it. For decades, the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) has made a concerted effort to map millions of celestial objects to constrain the physical processes that govern our Universe. The most recent and fifth generation of SDSS (SDSS-V) […]
