Kavli Affiliate: George Efstathiou | First 5 Authors: Luke Conaboy, Ilian T. Iliev, Anastasia Fialkov, Keri L. Dixon, David Sullivan | Summary: Supersonic relative motion between baryons and dark matter due to the decoupling of baryons from the primordial plasma after recombination affects the growth of the first small-scale structures. Large box sizes (greater than […]

Kavli Affiliate: George Efstathiou | First 5 Authors: Harry Bevins, Will Handley, Pablo Lemos, Peter Sims, Eloy de Lera Acedo | Summary: Cosmological experiments often employ Bayesian workflows to derive constraints on cosmological and astrophysical parameters from their data. It has been shown that these constraints can be combined across different probes such as Planck […]
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 […]
