Candidate Periodically Variable Quasars from the Dark Energy Survey and the Sloan Digital Sky Survey

Kavli Affiliate: Joshua Frieman | First 5 Authors: Yu-Ching Chen, Xin Liu, Wei-Ting Liao, A. Miguel Holgado, Hengxiao Guo | Summary: Periodically variable quasars have been suggested as close binary supermassive black holes. We present a systematic search for periodic light curves in 625 spectroscopically confirmed quasars with a median redshift of 1.8 in a […]

Cosmology Intertwined IV: The Age of the Universe and its Curvature

Kavli Affiliate: Wendy Freedman | First 5 Authors: Eleonora Di Valentino, Luis A. Anchordoqui, Ozgur Akarsu, Yacine Ali-Haimoud, Luca Amendola | Summary: A precise measurement of the curvature of the Universe is of primeval importance for cosmology since it could not only confirm the paradigm of primordial inflation but also help in discriminating between different […]

Cosmology Intertwined III: $f σ_8$ and $S_8$

Kavli Affiliate: Daniel Holz | First 5 Authors: Eleonora Di Valentino, Luis A. Anchordoqui, Ozgur Akarsu, Yacine Ali-Haimoud, Luca Amendola | Summary: The standard $Lambda$ Cold Dark Matter cosmological model provides a wonderful fit to current cosmological data, but a few tensions and anomalies became statistically significant with the latest data analyses. While these anomalies […]

Cosmology Intertwined II: The Hubble Constant Tension

Kavli Affiliate: Daniel Holz | First 5 Authors: Eleonora Di Valentino, Luis A. Anchordoqui, Ozgur Akarsu, Yacine Ali-Haimoud, Luca Amendola | Summary: The current cosmological probes have provided a fantastic confirmation of the standard $Lambda$ Cold Dark Matter cosmological model, that has been constrained with unprecedented accuracy. However, with the increase of the experimental sensitivity […]

Covariantizing Phase Space

Kavli Affiliate: Tom Melia | First 5 Authors: Andrew J. Larkoski, Tom Melia, , , | Summary: We covariantize calculations over the manifold of phase space, establishing Stokes’ theorem for differential cross sections and providing new definitions of familiar observable properties like infrared and collinear safety. Through the introduction of explicit coordinates and a metric […]
