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

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 […]

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

Kavli Affiliate: Michael D. Gladders | 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. […]

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

Kavli Affiliate: Blake Sherwin | First 5 Authors: Boris Bolliet, Boris Bolliet, , , | 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 […]

3D Atomic-Scale Metrology of Strain Relaxation and Roughness in Gate-All-Around (GAA) Transistors via Electron Ptychography

Kavli Affiliate: David A. Muller | First 5 Authors: Shake Karapetyan, Shake Karapetyan, , , | Summary: To improve transistor density and electronic performance, next-generation semiconductor devices are adopting three-dimensional architectures and feature sizes down to the few-nm regime, which require atomic-scale metrology to identify and resolve performance-limiting fabrication challenges. X-ray methods deliver three-dimensional imaging […]
