Kavli Affiliate: Toshiya Namikawa | First 5 Authors: Toshiya Namikawa, Shun Saito, Atsushi Taruya, , | Summary: We discuss the synergy of the cosmic shear and CMB lensing experiments to simultaneously constrain the neutrino mass and dark energy properties. Taking fully account of the CMB lensing, cosmic shear, CMB anisotropies, and their cross correlation signals, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Ralf Heilmann | First 5 Authors: Norbert S. Schulz, Glenn Allen, Mark W. Bautz, Claude C. Canizares, John Davis | Summary: Low-mass pre-main sequence (PMS) stars are strong and variable X-ray emitters, as has been well established by EINSTEIN and ROSAT observatories. It was originally believed that this emission was of thermal nature […]
Kavli Affiliate: Stuart Marshall | First 5 Authors: Željko Ivezić, Steven M. Kahn, J. Anthony Tyson, Bob Abel, Emily Acosta | Summary: (Abridged) We describe here the most ambitious survey currently planned in the optical, the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST). A vast array of science will be enabled by a single wide-deep-fast sky survey, […]

Kavli Affiliate: Andrew P. Rasmussen | First 5 Authors: Andrew P. Rasmussen, Steven M. Kahn, Frits Paerels, Jan Willem den Herder, Jelle Kaastra | Summary: In a series of papers, Nicastro et al. have reported the detection of z>0 OVII absorption features in the spectrum of Mrk421 obtained with the Chandra Low Energy Transmission Grating […]
Kavli Affiliate: Scott A. Hughes | First 5 Authors: Scott A. Hughes, , , , | Summary: This article is based on a pair of lectures given at the 2005 SLAC Summer Institute. Our goal is to motivate why most physicists and astrophysicists accept the hypothesis that the most massive, compact objects seen in many […]
Kavli Affiliate: Anthony Zee | First 5 Authors: Daniel E. Holz, Anthony Zee, , , | Summary: As has been previously proposed, a minimal modification of the standard $SU(3)times SU(2)times U(1)$ theory provides a viable dark matter candidate. Such a particle, a scalar gauge singlet, is naturally self-interacting—making it of particular interest given recent developments […]
