Kavli Affiliate: Richard Hills | First 5 Authors: Patricio A. Gallardo, Bradford Benson, John Carlstrom, Simon R. Dicker, Nick Emerson | Summary: CMB-S4 — the next-generation ground-based cosmic microwave background (CMB) experiment – will significantly advance the sensitivity of CMB measurements and improve our understanding of the origin and evolution of the universe. CMB-S4 will […]
Kavli Affiliate: Ulrich Sperhake | First 5 Authors: Robin Croft, Thomas Helfer, Bo-Xuan Ge, Miren Radia, Tamara Evstafyeva | Summary: In this work we study the long-lived post-merger gravitational wave signature of a boson-star binary coalescence. We use full numerical relativity to simulate the post-merger and track the gravitational afterglow over an extended period of […]
Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: Jane Rigby, Marshall Perrin, Michael McElwain, Randy Kimble, Scott Friedman | Summary: This document characterizes the actual science performance of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), as known on 12 July 2022. Following six months of commissioning to prepare JWST for science operations, the observatory is now […]
Kavli Affiliate: George Efstathiou | First 5 Authors: Roger de Belsunce, Steven Gratton, George Efstathiou, , | Summary: We present constraints on primordial B modes from large angular scale cosmic microwave background polarisation anisotropies measured with the Planck satellite. To remove Galactic polarised foregrounds, we use a Bayesian parametric component separation method, modelling synchrotron radiation […]
Kavli Affiliate: Martin Haehnelt | First 5 Authors: Joakim Rosdahl, Jérémy Blaizot, Harley Katz, Taysun Kimm, Thibault Garel | Summary: We measure escape fractions, $f_{rm esc}$, of ionizing radiation from galaxies in the SPHINX suite of cosmological radiation-hydrodynamical simulations of reionization, resolving halos with $M_{rm vir} gtrapprox 7.5 times 10^7 M_{odot}$ with a minimum cell […]
Kavli Affiliate: George Efstathiou | First 5 Authors: Alexandra Amon, George Efstathiou, , , | Summary: Weak galaxy lensing surveys have consistently reported a lower amplitude for the matter fluctuation spectrum, as measured by the $S_8$ parameter, than expected in the $Lambda{rm CDM}$ cosmology favoured by $Planck$. However, the expansion history follows the predictions of […]
Kavli Affiliate: Debora Sijacki | First 5 Authors: Sophie Koudmani, Debora Sijacki, Matthew C. Smith, , | Summary: There is growing observational evidence for dwarf galaxies hosting active galactic nuclei (AGN), including hints of AGN-driven outflows in dwarfs. However, in the common theoretical model of galaxy formation, efficient supernova (SN) feedback is the tool of […]

Kavli Affiliate: Anthony Lasenby | First 5 Authors: Michael Hobson, Anthony Lasenby, , , | Summary: For conformally invariant gravity theories defined on Riemannian spacetime and having the Schwarzschild–de-Sitter (SdS) metric as a solution in the Einstein gauge, we consider whether one may conformally rescale this solution to obtain flat rotation curves, such as those […]
Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: Adam Marshall, Matthew W. Auger-Williams, Manda Banerji, Roberto Maiolino, Rebecca Bowler | Summary: We perform spectral energy distribution (SED) fitting to 711 luminous X-ray AGN at 0.7 < z < 4.5 using 10-bands of optical and infra-red photometric data for objects within XMM-SERVS. This fitting provided 510 […]
