Kavli Affiliate: Satoshi Shirai | First 5 Authors: Sean Heston, Shunsaku Horiuchi, Satoshi Shirai, , | Summary: We constrain the neutrino-dark matter cross section using properties of the dark matter density profiles of Milky Way dwarf spheroidal galaxies. The constraint arises from core-collapse supernova neutrinos scattering on dark matter as a form of energy injection, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: Xuejian Shen, Mark Vogelsberger, Josh Borrow, Yongao Hu, Evan Erickson | Summary: We investigate galaxy sizes at redshift $zgtrsim 6$ with the cosmological radiation-magneto-hydrodynamic simulation suite THESAN(-HR). These simulations simultaneously capture the reionization of the large-scale intergalactic medium and resolved galaxy properties. The intrinsic size ($r^{ast}_{1/2}$) of […]

Kavli Affiliate: Risa H. Wechsler | First 5 Authors: John F. Wu, Christian Kragh Jespersen, Risa H. Wechsler, , | Summary: We investigate the connection between galaxies, dark matter halos, and their large-scale environments at $z=0$ with Illustris TNG300 hydrodynamic simulation data. We predict stellar masses from subhalo properties to test two types of machine […]
Kavli Affiliate: Andrew Vanderburg | First 5 Authors: Drake A. Lehmann, Andrew Vanderburg, , , | Summary: Data from the Kepler space telescope have led to the discovery of thousands of planet candidates. Most of these candidates are likely to be real exoplanets, but a significant number of false positives still contaminate the sample, especially […]
Kavli Affiliate: Kiyoshi W. Masui | First 5 Authors: Adam E. Lanman, Shion Andrew, Mattias Lazda, Vishwangi Shah, Mandana Amiri | Summary: Localizing fast radio bursts (FRBs) to their host galaxies is an essential step to better understanding their origins and using them as cosmic probes. The CHIME/FRB Outrigger program aims to add VLBI-localization capabilities […]
Kavli Affiliate: Roland Vanderspek | First 5 Authors: Ashley Chontos, Daniel Huber, Samuel K. Grunblatt, Nicholas Saunders, Joshua N. Winn | Summary: We present a dedicated transit and radial velocity survey of planets orbiting subgiant stars observed by the TESS Mission. Using $sim$$16$ nights on Keck/HIRES, we confirm and characterize $12$ new transiting planets — […]

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Wimmer | First 5 Authors: Juan Daniel Torres Luna, A. Mert Bozkurt, Michael Wimmer, Chun-Xiao Liu, | Summary: Connecting quantum dots through Andreev bound states in a semiconductor-superconductor hybrid provides a platform to create a Kitaev chain. Interestingly, in a double quantum dot, a pair of poor man’s Majorana zero modes can […]
Kavli Affiliate: David Shoemaker | First 5 Authors: Monica Colpi, Karsten Danzmann, Martin Hewitson, Kelly Holley-Bockelmann, Philippe Jetzer | Summary: The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) is the first scientific endeavour to detect and study gravitational waves from space. LISA will survey the sky for Gravitational Waves in the 0.1 mHz to 1 Hz frequency […]
