Kavli Affiliate: E. P. S. Shellard | First 5 Authors: Wuhyun Sohn, James R. Fergusson, E. P. S. Shellard, , | Summary: We present a new independent pipeline for the CMB bispectrum estimation of primordial non-Gaussianity and release a public code for constraining bispectrum shapes of interest based on the Planck 2018 temperature and polarization […]
Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: Raffaella Schneider, Rosa Valiante, Alessandro Trinca, Luca Graziani, Marta Volonteri | Summary: JWST is unveiling for the first time accreting black holes (BHs) with masses of 10^6 – 10^7 Msun at z > 4, with the most distant residing in GNz11 at z = 10.6. Are we […]
Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: Roberto Maiolino, Jan Scholtz, Joris Witstok, Stefano Carniani, Francesco D’Eugenio | Summary: Multiple theories have been proposed to describe the formation of black hole seeds in the early Universe and to explain the emergence of very massive black holes observed in the first billion years after Big […]
Kavli Affiliate: Debora Sijacki | First 5 Authors: Jake S. Bennett, Debora Sijacki, Tiago Costa, Nicolas Laporte, Callum Witten | Summary: High-redshift quasars ($zgtrsim6$), powered by black holes (BHs) with large inferred masses, imply rapid BH growth in the early Universe. The most extreme examples have inferred masses of $sim ! 10^9,$M$_odot$ at $z = […]

Kavli Affiliate: George Efstathiou | First 5 Authors: Calvin Preston, Alexandra Amon, George Efstathiou, , | Summary: Weak galaxy lensing surveys have consistently reported low values of the $S_8$ parameter compared to the $textit{Planck} Lambdarm{CDM}$ cosmology. Amon & Efstathiou (2022) used KiDS-1000 cosmic shear measurements to propose that this tension can be reconciled if the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Anthony Challinor | First 5 Authors: Nicholas Choustikov, Zvonimir Vlah, Anthony Challinor, , | Summary: Perturbation theory is a powerful tool for studying large-scale structure formation in the universe and calculating observables such as the power spectrum or bispectrum. However, beyond linear order, typically this is done by assuming a simplification in the […]
Kavli Affiliate: George Efstathiou | First 5 Authors: Tibor Dome, Sandro Tacchella, Anastasia Fialkov, Avishai Dekel, Omri Ginzburg | Summary: The recent observation of a low-mass $z=5.2$ and an intermediate-mass $z=7.3$ (JADES-GS-z7-01-QU) quenched galaxy with JWST / NIRSpec is the first evidence of halted star formation above $zsim 5$. Here we show how bursty star […]

Here we show how bursty star formation at […]
