Kavli Affiliate: Paul L. Schechter | First 5 Authors: Luke Weisenbach, Timo Anguita, Jordi Miralda-Escudé, Masamune Oguri, Prasenjit Saha | Summary: Microlensing near macro-caustics is a complex phenomenon in which swarms of micro-images produced by micro-caustics form on both sides of a macro-critical curve. Recent discoveries of highly magnified images of individual stars in massive […]
Kavli Affiliate: Alexander P. Ji | First 5 Authors: Yue Pan, Anirudh Chiti, Alex Drlica-Wagner, Alexander P. Ji, Ting S. Li | Summary: We conducted an in-depth analysis of candidate member stars located in the peripheries of three ultra-faint dwarf (UFD) galaxy satellites of the Milky Way: Bo"otes I (Boo1), Bo"otes II (Boo2), and Segue […]
Kavli Affiliate: Risa H. Wechsler | First 5 Authors: Deveshi Buch, Ethan O. Nadler, Risa H. Wechsler, Yao-Yuan Mao, | Summary: We present Milky Way-est, a suite of 20 cosmological cold-dark-matter-only zoom-in simulations of Milky Way (MW)-like host halos. Milky Way-est hosts are selected such that they (i) are consistent with the MW’s measured halo […]

Wechsler, Yao-Yuan Mao, | Summary: We present Milky Way-est, a suite of 20 cosmological cold-dark-matter-only zoom-in simulations of Milky Way (MW)-like host halos. Milky Way-est hosts are selected such that they: ($i$) are consistent with the MW’s measured halo […]
Kavli Affiliate: Lee McCuller | First 5 Authors: Sander M. Vermeulen, Torrey Cullen, Daniel Grass, Ian A. O. MacMillan, Alexander J. Ramirez | Summary: The GQuEST (Gravity from the Quantum Entanglement of Space-Time) experiment uses tabletop-scale Michelson laser interferometers to probe for fluctuations in space-time. We present a practicable interferometer design featuring a novel photon […]

Kavli Affiliate: Ke Wang | First 5 Authors: Ke Wang, Chao-Jun Feng, , , | Summary: The curved spacetime induced by gravitational waves can give rise to visual effects such as geometric distortions and redshift structures in the observed image. By establishing a mapping from the object’s surface coordinates to the observer’s screen coordinates, we […]
Kavli Affiliate: Eliska Greplova | First 5 Authors: Lukas Johannes Splitthoff, Miguel Carrera Belo, Guliuxin Jin, Yu Li, Eliska Greplova | Summary: Metamaterials engineered to host topological states of matter in controllable quantum systems hold promise for the advancement of quantum simulations and quantum computing technologies. In this context, the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) model has gained […]
Kavli Affiliate: Luis C. Ho | First 5 Authors: T. E. Zastrocky, Michael S. Brotherton, Pu Du, Jacob N. McLane, Kianna A. Olson | Summary: We report first-time reverberation mapping results for 14 AGNs from the ongoing Monitoring AGNs with H$beta$ Asymmetry campaign (MAHA). These results utilize optical spectra obtained with the Long Slit Spectrograph […]
