Kavli Affiliate: Robert M. Wald | First 5 Authors: Stefan Hollands, Robert M. Wald, Victor G. Zhang, , | Summary: We propose a new formula for the entropy of a dynamical black hole$-$valid to leading order for perturbations off of a stationary black hole background$-$in an arbitrary classical diffeomorphism covariant Lagrangian theory of gravity in […]

Kavli Affiliate: Michael D. Gladders | First 5 Authors: Maxwell Klein, Keren Sharon, Kate Napier, Michael D. Gladders, Gourav Khullar | Summary: We present a strong lensing analysis of COOL J1241+2219, the brightest known gravitationally lensed galaxy at $z geq 5$, based on new multi-band Hubble Space Telescope (HST) imaging data. The lensed galaxy has […]
Kavli Affiliate: Carlos E. M. Wagner | First 5 Authors: Subhojit Roy, Carlos E. M. Wagner, , , | Summary: We unveil blind spot regions in dark matter (DM) direct detection (DMDD), for weakly interacting massive particles with a mass around a few hundred~GeV that may reveal interesting photon signals at the LHC. We explore […]

Gladders, Gourav Khullar, Keren Sharon, Nathalie Chicoine | Summary: We compute parametric measurements of the Einstein-radius-enclosed total mass for 177 cluster-scale strong gravitational lenses identified by the ChicagO Optically-selected Lenses Located At the Margins of Public Surveys (COOL-LAMPS) collaboration with lens […]

Kavli Affiliate: Nickolay Gnedin | First 5 Authors: Hanjue Zhu, Nickolay Gnedin, Camille Avestruz, , | Summary: We investigate Lyman-alpha (Ly$alpha$) transmission spikes at $5.2 < z < 6.8$ using synthetic quasar spectra from the “Cosmic Reionization On Computers" simulations. We focus on understanding the relationship between these spikes and the properties of the intergalactic […]
Kavli Affiliate: Alexander P. Ji | First 5 Authors: Alexander P. Ji, Sanjana Curtis, Nicholas Storm, Vedant Chandra, Kevin C. Schlaufman | Summary: Stars formed with initial mass over 50 Msun are very rare today, but they are thought to be more common in the early universe. The fates of those early, metal-poor, massive stars […]
Kavli Affiliate: Alexander P. Ji | First 5 Authors: Sam A. Usman, Alexander P. Ji, Ting S. Li, Andrew B. Pace, Lara R. Cullinane | Summary: Milky Way globular clusters (GCs) display chemical enrichment in a phenomenon called multiple stellar populations (MSPs). While the enrichment mechanism is not fully understood, there is a correlation between […]
