Kavli Affiliate: Anthony Challinor | Summary:Noise maps from CMB experiments are generally statistically anisotropic, due to scanning strategies, atmospheric conditions, or instrumental effects. Any mis-modeling of this complex noise can bias the reconstruction of the lensing potential and the measurement of the lensing power spectrum from the observed CMB maps. We introduce a new CMB […]

Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | Summary:JWST has revealed the apparent evolution of the black hole (BH)-stellar mass ($M_mathrmBH$-$M_rmast$) relation in the early Universe, while remaining consistent with the BH-dynamical mass ($M_mathrmBH$-$M_mathrmdyn$) relation. We predict BH masses for $z>3$ galaxies in the high-resolution THESAN-ZOOM simulations by assuming the $M_mathrmBH$-$M_mathrmdyn$ relation is fundamental. Even without live BH […]

Kavli Affiliate: Kaisey Mandel | Summary:Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) are standardisable candles: their peak magnitudes can be corrected for correlations between light curve properties and their luminosities to precisely estimate distances. Understanding SN Ia standardisation across wavelength improves methods for correcting SN Ia magnitudes. Using 150 SNe Ia from the Foundation Supernova Survey and […]

Kavli Affiliate: Martin Haehnelt | Summary:Dwarf galaxies provide powerful laboratories for studying galaxy formation physics. Their early assembly, shallow gravitational potentials, and bursty, clustered star formation histories make them especially sensitive to the processes that regulate baryons through multi-phase outflows. Using high-resolution, cosmological zoom-in simulations of a dwarf galaxy from textitthe Pandora suite, we explore […]

Kavli Affiliate: Martin Haehnelt | Summary:Ly$α$ emitters (LAEs) have now been discovered out to redshift $z=13$, and are valuable probes of the reionization history at redshifts beyond the reach of other currently available tracers. Most inferences of the neutral hydrogen fraction from LAE observations rely on one-point and two-point statistics like the luminosity function and […]

Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | Summary:JWST uncovered a large number of massive quiescent galaxies (MQGs) at $z>3$, which theoretical models struggle to reproduce. Explaining the number density of such objects requires extremely high conversion efficiency of baryons into stars in early dark matter halos. Using stellar kinematics, we can investigate the processes shaping the mass […]
