Kavli Affiliate: R. G. McMahon | First 5 Authors: Estelle Pons, Richard G. McMahon, Robert A. Simcoe, Manda Banerji, Paul C. Hewett | Summary: We present the discovery of a new $z sim 6.8$ quasar discovered with the near-IR VISTA Hemisphere Survey (VHS) which has been spectroscopically confirmed by the ESO New Technology Telescope (NTT) […]
Kavli Affiliate: Ulrich Sperhake | First 5 Authors: Davide Gerosa, Alicia Lima, Emanuele Berti, Ulrich Sperhake, Michael Kesden | Summary: Within the framework of 2PN black-hole binary spin precession, we explore configurations where one of the two spins oscillates from being completely aligned with the orbital angular momentum to being completely anti-aligned with it during […]
Kavli Affiliate: R. G. McMahon | First 5 Authors: Cameron A. Lemon, Matthew W. Auger, Richard G. McMahon, , | Summary: We report the discovery and spectroscopic confirmation of 22 new gravitationally lensed quasars found using $textit{Gaia}$ data release 2. The selection was made using several techniques: multiple $textit{Gaia}$ detections around objects in quasar candidate […]

Kavli Affiliate: Anthony Lasenby | First 5 Authors: Edward Higson, Will Handley, Michael Hobson, Anthony Lasenby, | Summary: We present a principled Bayesian framework for signal reconstruction, in which the signal is modelled by basis functions whose number (and form, if required) is determined by the data themselves. This approach is based on a Bayesian […]
Kavli Affiliate: Richard Hills | First 5 Authors: Karl Young, Marcelo Alvarez, Nicholas Battaglia, Jamie Bock, Julian Borrill | Summary: The Probe of Inflation and Cosmic Origins (PICO) is a probe-class mission concept currently under study by NASA. PICO will probe the physics of the Big Bang and the energy scale of inflation, constrain the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Richard Hills | First 5 Authors: Stephen C. Parshley, Michael D. Niemack, Richard Hills, Simon R. Dicker, Rolando Dünner | Summary: A common optical design for a coma-corrected, 6-meter aperture, crossed-Dragone telescope has been adopted for the CCAT-prime telescope of CCAT Observatory, Inc., and for the Large Aperture Telescope of the Simons Observatory. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Richard Hills | First 5 Authors: Stephen C. Parshley, Jörg Kronshage, James Blair, Terry Herter, Mike Nolta | Summary: The CCAT-prime telescope is a 6-meter aperture, crossed-Dragone telescope, designed for millimeter and sub-millimeter wavelength observations. It will be located at an altitude of 5600 meters, just below the summit of Cerro Chajnantor in […]
Kavli Affiliate: E. P. S. Shellard | First 5 Authors: Planck Collaboration, Y. Akrami, F. Arroja, M. Ashdown, J. Aumont | Summary: We report on the implications for cosmic inflation of the 2018 Release of the Planck CMB anisotropy measurements. The results are fully consistent with the two previous Planck cosmological releases, but have smaller […]
Kavli Affiliate: E. P. S. Shellard | First 5 Authors: Planck Collaboration, N. Aghanim, Y. Akrami, M. Ashdown, J. Aumont | Summary: We present cosmological parameter results from the final full-mission Planck measurements of the CMB anisotropies. We find good consistency with the standard spatially-flat 6-parameter $Lambda$CDM cosmology having a power-law spectrum of adiabatic scalar […]
