A DECADE of dwarfs: first detection of weak lensing around spectroscopically confirmed low-mass galaxies

Kavli Affiliate: Chihway Chang | First 5 Authors: Chun-Hao To, Chun-Hao To, , , | Summary: We present the first detection of weak gravitational lensing around spectroscopically confirmed dwarf galaxies, using the large overlap between DESI DR1 spectroscopic data and DECADE/DES weak lensing catalogs. A clean dwarf galaxy sample with well-defined redshift and stellar mass […]

Shedding Light on Dark Matter at the LHC with Machine Learning

Kavli Affiliate: Carlos E. M. Wagner | First 5 Authors: Ernesto Arganda, Ernesto Arganda, , , | Summary: We investigate a WIMP dark matter (DM) candidate in the form of a singlino-dominated lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP) within the $Z_3$-symmetric Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model. This framework gives rise to regions of parameter space where DM is […]

Mitigating Random-Phase Sampling Noise in the Cepheid Period-Luminosity Relation: A Cross-Filter Consistency Approach

Kavli Affiliate: Wendy L. Freedman | First 5 Authors: Mahdi Abdollahi, Mahdi Abdollahi, , , | Summary: The Period-Luminosity (PL) relation is usually derived using time-averaged magnitudes, which require multiple-epoch observations to determine periods and adequately sample the light curves. Although single-epoch observations are more practical and require significantly less observational effort, they inherently introduce […]

R-parity violation and 8 TeV four-jet events at the LHC: a falsification opportunity for Wagner’s Rule

Kavli Affiliate: Carlos E. M. Wagner | First 5 Authors: Pedro Bittar, Pedro Bittar, , , | Summary: The CMS Collaboration at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has observed two four-jet events with a total invariant mass of about 8 TeV; within each event, the jets can be paired into two dijets with invariant masses […]

Superconformal symmetry in a class of Schellekens theories

Kavli Affiliate: Jeffrey A. Harvey | First 5 Authors: Harry Fosbinder-Elkins, Harry Fosbinder-Elkins, , , | Summary: In 2023, Moore and Singh used the theory of orbifold vertex operator algebras to explicitly construct an $mathcalN = 1$ supercurrent in the Beauty and the Beast module of Dixon, Ginsparg, and Harvey. Using their techniques, we show […]

Discovery of a $z sim 0.8$ Ultra Steep Spectrum Radio Halo in the MeerKAT-South Pole Telescope Survey

Kavli Affiliate: Bradford A. Benson | First 5 Authors: Isaac S. Magolego, Isaac S. Magolego, , , | Summary: Radio halos are diffuse synchrotron sources that trace the turbulent intracluster medium (ICM) of galaxy clusters. However, their origin remains unknown. Two main formation models have been proposed: the hadronic model, in which relativistic electrons are […]

Carnegie Supernova Project: Fast-Declining Type Ia Supernovae as Cosmological Distance Indicators

Kavli Affiliate: Wendy L. Freedman | First 5 Authors: M. M. Phillips, M. M. Phillips, , , | Summary: In this paper, the suitability of fast-declining Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) as cosmological standard candles is examined utilizing a Hubble Flow sample of 43 of these objects observed by the Carnegie Supernova Project (CSP). We […]

Machine Learning Assisted Parameter-Space Searches for Lensed Gravitational Waves

Kavli Affiliate: Wayne Hu | First 5 Authors: Giulia Campailla, Giulia Campailla, , , | Summary: When a gravitational wave encounters a massive object along the line of sight, repeated copies of the original signal may be produced due to gravitational lensing. In this paper, we develop a series of new machine-learning based statistical methods […]
