TDCOSMO 2025: Cosmological constraints from strong lensing time delays

Kavli Affiliate: Joshua A. Frieman | First 5 Authors: Simon Birrer, Elizabeth J. Buckley-Geer, Michele Cappellari, Frederic Courbin, Frederic Dux | Summary: We present cosmological constraints from 8 strongly lensed quasars (hereafter, the TDCOSMO-2025 sample). Building on previous work, our analysis incorporated new deflector stellar velocity dispersions measured from spectra obtained with the James Webb […]

Sequential Interval Passing for Compressed Sensing

Kavli Affiliate: Salman Habib | First 5 Authors: Salman Habib, Remi Chou, Taejoon Kim, , | Summary: The reconstruction of sparse signals from a limited set of measurements poses a significant challenge as it necessitates a solution to an underdetermined system of linear equations. Compressed sensing (CS) deals with sparse signal reconstruction using techniques such […]

Connecting JWST discovered N/O-enhanced galaxies to globular clusters: Evidence from chemical imprints

Kavli Affiliate: Andrey Kravtsov | First 5 Authors: Xihan Ji, Vasily Belokurov, Roberto Maiolino, Stephanie Monty, Yuki Isobe | Summary: Recent JWST observations have revealed a growing population of galaxies at $z>4$ with elevated nitrogen-to-oxygen ratios. These "N/O-enhanced" galaxies (NOEGs) exhibit near- to super-solar N/O at sub-solar O/H, clearly deviating from the well-established scaling relation […]

Origin of the ring ellipticity in the black hole images of M87*

Kavli Affiliate: John E. Carlstrom | First 5 Authors: Rohan Dahale, Ilje Cho, Kotaro Moriyama, Kaj Wiik, Paul Tiede | Summary: We investigate the origin of the elliptical ring structure observed in the images of the supermassive black hole M87*, aiming to disentangle contributions from gravitational, astrophysical, and imaging effects. Leveraging the enhanced capabilities of […]
