Chromatic Effects Across the Roman Focal Plane: Implications for Supernova Photometry and Measurements of Cosmological Parameters

Posted by klaurent July 9, 2026July 20, 2026Chicago

Kavli Affiliate: Richard Kessler | Summary:Calibration uncertainties are the leading systematics in cosmological analyses using Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia). For the textitNancy Grace Roman Space Telescope (Roman), we quantify the impact of chromatic effects on SNe Ia photometry and derived cosmological parameters, using simulated light curves from the High-Latitude Time Domain Survey. We investigate […]

Probing Cooper pair momentum by quasiparticle steering with planar Josephson junctions

Posted by klaurent July 9, 2026July 20, 2026Delft

Kavli Affiliate: Anton Akhmerov | Summary:The Cooper pair momentum in a superconductor is associated with a phase gradient of the superconducting order parameter. In general, this momentum is small compared to the Fermi momentum, which makes it challenging to measure. Josephson junctions, however, enable the creation of large phase gradients and transfer of the Cooper […]

The Thesan-Zoom project: bursty star formation is incompatible with prolonged dust survival

Posted by klaurent July 9, 2026July 20, 2026MIT

Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | Summary:Cosmic dust is a key regulator of galaxy evolution, but its build-up and survival in the first billion years remain poorly constrained. We present a systematic analysis of dust in the thesan-zoom suite of radiation-hydrodynamical zoom-in simulations, which self-consistently model dust formation, growth, destruction, and its coupling to radiative transfer […]

What becomes of JWST/NIRCam-selected high-redshift massive galaxies?

Posted by klaurent July 9, 2026July 20, 2026MIT

Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | Summary:Early JWST/NIRCam surveys revealed a puzzling population of high-redshift massive galaxy candidates largely absent from previous rest-frame UV surveys. Spectroscopic follow-up has both confirmed and contested these candidates, whose potential overabundance may challenge traditional models of galaxy formation. In this study we evaluate the reliability of the photometric selections used […]

Psilocybin selectively rescues cognitive flexibility impairments caused by aberrant prefrontal error signalin

Posted by dbos July 9, 2026July 20, 2026UCSF

Kavli Affiliate: Vikaas Sohal | Authors: Christine Liu, Ellie M Ho, Alexander S Enos, Urte Beatrice Baublyte, Isabel M Luna, Alexander R Kosche and Vikaas S Sohal | Summary: Psychedelic drugs show remarkable potential for treating psychiatric disorders, but the mechanisms underlying their therapeutic effects remain relatively unknown. Here, we demonstrate that psilocybin can powerfully […]

HETDEX [OII] galaxies at $z le 0.48$: Volume-limited samples and their power spectra

Posted by klaurent July 9, 2026July 20, 2026Tokyo

Kavli Affiliate: Eiichiro Komatsu | Summary:The catalog from the Hobby-Eberly Telescope Dark Energy Experiment (HETDEX) Public Data Release 1 (PDR1) contains half a million emission-line-selected [OII] galaxies spread across $540~mathrmdeg^2$ at $z le 0.48$ from HETDEX’s unprecedented untargeted spectroscopic survey. In this paper, we construct volume-limited samples from PDR1 in three luminosity bins across the […]

Subaru meets JWST: A Direct Measurement of Ly$boldsymbolα$ Escape Fraction at $boldsymbolzsimeq6.2$ with Dual Narrow-Band Imaging

Posted by klaurent July 9, 2026July 20, 2026Peking

Kavli Affiliate: Kohei Inayoshi | Summary:We present a direct measurement of the Ly$α$ escape fraction, $f^rm Lyα_rm esc$, for H$α$ emitters (HAEs) at $zsimeq6.2$ in the JWST CEERS field by combining JWST/NIRCam F470N imaging with Subaru/HSC NB872 imaging. This unique pair of narrow-band filters enables the simultaneous measurement of Ly$α$ and H$α$ fluxes from galaxies […]
