Interference with Gravitational Instability: Hot and Fuzzy Dark Matter

Kavli Affiliate: Wayne Hu | First 5 Authors: Rayne Liu, Wayne Hu, Huangyu Xiao, , | Summary: Wave or fuzzy dark matter produced with high momenta behaves in many ways like hot particle dark matter while also possessing seemingly different phenomenology due to wave interference. We develop wave perturbation theory to show that white noise […]

The CosmoVerse White Paper: Addressing observational tensions in cosmology with systematics and fundamental physics

Kavli Affiliate: Daniel E. Holz | First 5 Authors: Eleonora Di Valentino, Jackson Levi Said, Adam Riess, Agnieszka Pollo, Vivian Poulin | Summary: The standard model of cosmology has provided a good phenomenological description of a wide range of observations both at astrophysical and cosmological scales for several decades. This concordance model is constructed by […]

Formation and Environmental Context of Giant Bulgeless Disk Galaxies in the Early Universe: Insights from Cosmological Simulations

Fangzhou Jiang, Jinning Liang, Bingcheng Jin, Zeyu Gao, Weichen Wang | Summary: [[{“value”:”Giant bulgeless disk galaxies, theoretically expected to be rare in the early Universe, have been confirmed by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to exist as early as 2 billion years after the Big Bang. These morphologically extreme systems offer valuable insights into […]

Constraints on Non-Thermal Pressure at galaxy cluster outskirts from a Joint SPT and XMM-Newton Analysis

Kavli Affiliate: Bradford A. Benson | First 5 Authors: Arnab Sarkar, Michael McDonald, Lindsey Bleem, Mark Bautz, Bradford A. Benson | Summary: We present joint South Pole Telescope (SPT) and XMM-Newton observations of 8 massive galaxy clusters (0.8–1.7$times$10$^{15}$ M$_{odot}$) spanning a redshift range of 0.16 to 0.35. Employing a novel SZ+X-ray fitting technique, we effectively […]

Massive Black Holes Seeded by Dark Matter — Implications for Little Red Dots and Gravitational Wave Signatures

Tingwei Shen, Xuejian Shen, Huangyu Xiao, Mark Vogelsberger, Fangzhou Jiang | Summary: [[{“value”:”Observations of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) at high redshifts challenge standard seeding scenarios. We examine a dissipative self-interacting dark matter (dSIDM) model in which gravothermal collapse leads to the formation of massive BH seeds ab initio. We utilize a semi-analytical framework to predict […]

Formation of the Little Red Dots from the Core-collapse of Self-interacting Dark Matter Halos

Fangzhou Jiang, Zixiang Jiang, Haonan Zheng, Luis C. Ho, Kohei Inayoshi | Summary: [[{“value”:”We present a statistical study on the formation and growth of black holes (BHs) seeded by gravothermal core-collapse of self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) halos at high redshifts, using a semi-analytical framework based on Monte-Carlo merger trees. We demonstrate that BH formation via […]

Non-Monotonic Attention-based Read/Write Policy Learning for Simultaneous Translation

Kavli Affiliate: Zeeshan Ahmed | First 5 Authors: Zeeshan Ahmed, Frank Seide, Zhe Liu, Rastislav Rabatin, Jachym Kolar | Summary: Simultaneous or streaming machine translation generates translation while reading the input stream. These systems face a quality/latency trade-off, aiming to achieve high translation quality similar to non-streaming models with minimal latency. We propose an approach […]
