Kavli Affiliate: Alexander P. Ji | First 5 Authors: Melissa K. Ness, J. Trevor Mendel, Sven Buder, Adam Wheeler, Alexander P. Ji | Summary: The element abundances of local group galaxies connect enrichment mechanisms to galactic properties and serve to contextualise the Milky Way’s abundance distributions. Individual stellar spectra in nearby galaxies can be extracted […]
Kavli Affiliate: Brian Nord | First 5 Authors: Sreevani Jarugula, Brian Nord, Abhijith Gandrakota, Aleksandra Ćiprijanović, | Summary: In this work, we present a scalable approach for inferring the dark energy equation-of-state parameter ($w$) from a population of strong gravitational lens images using Simulation-Based Inference (SBI). Strong gravitational lensing offers crucial insights into cosmology, but […]
Kavli Affiliate: Gordan Krnjaic | First 5 Authors: Gordan Krnjaic, Duncan Rocha, Tanner Trickle, , | Summary: Electronic excitations in atomic, molecular, and crystal targets are at the forefront of the ongoing search for light, sub-GeV dark matter (DM). In many light DM-electron interactions the energy and momentum deposited is much smaller than the electron […]
Kavli Affiliate: Daniel E. Holz | First 5 Authors: Reed Essick, Daniel E. Holz, , , | Summary: We explore scaling relations for the information carried by individual events, and how that information accumulates in catalogs like those from ground-based gravitational-wave detectors. For a variety of situations, the larger number of quiet/distant signals dominates the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Nickolay Y. Gnedin | First 5 Authors: Ava Polzin, Andrey V. Kravtsov, Vadim A. Semenov, Nickolay Y. Gnedin, | Summary: We analyze high-resolution hydrodynamics simulations of an isolated disk dwarf galaxy with an explicit model for unresolved turbulence and turbulence-based star formation prescription. We examine the characteristic values of the star formation efficiency […]
Kavli Affiliate: Eric Oberla | First 5 Authors: Jinseo Park, Evan Angelico, Andrew Arzac, Davide Braga, Ahan Datta | Summary: 1 ps timing resolution is the entry point to signature based searches relying on secondary/tertiary vertices and particle identification. We describe a preliminary design for PSEC5, an 8-channel 40 GS/s waveform-sampling ASIC in the TSMC […]

Kavli Affiliate: Wendy L. Freedman | First 5 Authors: Taylor J. Hoyt, In Sung Jang, Wendy L. Freedman, Barry F. Madore, Abigail J. Lee | Summary: Boasting a 6.5m mirror in space, JWST can increase by several times the number of supernovae (SNe) to which a redshift-independent distance has been measured with a precision distance […]
Kavli Affiliate: Andrey Kravtsov | First 5 Authors: Ariane Dekker, Andrey Kravtsov, , , | Summary: Although the standard $Lambda$+Cold Dark Matter ($Lambda$CDM) model is well tested on large scales, the primordial power spectrum may deviate from the $Lambda$CDM spectrum on small scales due to specific dark matter properties or alternative inflationary models. These deviations […]
Kavli Affiliate: Robert M. Wald | First 5 Authors: Daine L. Danielson, Gautam Satishchandran, Robert M. Wald, , | Summary: It was previously shown that if an experimenter, Alice, puts a massive or charged body in a quantum spatial superposition, then the presence of a black hole (or more generally any Killing horizon) will eventually […]
