Kavli Affiliate: Austin Joyce | First 5 Authors: Nima Arkani-Hamed, Daniel Baumann, Aaron Hillman, Austin Joyce, Hayden Lee | Summary: Cosmological fluctuations retain a memory of the physics that generated them in their spatial correlations. The strength of correlations varies smoothly as a function of external kinematics, which is encoded in differential equations satisfied by […]

Kavli Affiliate: Daniel E. Holz | First 5 Authors: Aditya Vijaykumar, Maya Fishbach, Susmita Adhikari, Daniel E. Holz, | Summary: Observations of gravitational waves from binary black hole (BBH) mergers have measured the redshift evolution of the BBH merger rate. The number density of galaxies in the Universe evolves differently with redshift based on their […]

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Gladders | First 5 Authors: Alexander Navarre, Gourav Khullar, Matthew Bayliss, Håkon Dahle, Michael Florian | Summary: We present six strongly gravitationally lensed Ly-$alpha$ Emitters (LAEs) at $zsim4-5$ with HST narrowband imaging isolating Ly-$alpha$. Through complex radiative transfer Ly-$alpha$ encodes information about the spatial distribution and kinematics of the neutral hydrogen upon […]
Kavli Affiliate: Wendy L. Freedman | First 5 Authors: Abigail J. Lee, Wendy L. Freedman, In Sung Jang, Barry F. Madore, Kayla A. Owens | Summary: The J-region Asymptotic Giant Branch (JAGB) method is a standard candle that leverages the constant luminosities of color-selected, carbon-rich AGB stars, measured in the near infrared at 1.2 microns. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Robert M. Wald | First 5 Authors: Stefan Hollands, Robert M. Wald, , , | Summary: Operator product expansions (OPEs) in quantum field theory (QFT) provide an asymptotic relation between products of local fields defined at points $x_1, dots, x_n$ and local fields at point $y$ in the limit $x_1, dots, x_n to […]
Kavli Affiliate: Nickolay Y. Gnedin | First 5 Authors: Nickolay Y. Gnedin, , , , | Summary: The role of unresolved structures ("mini-halos") in determining the consumption of ionizing photons during cosmic reionization remains an unsolved problem in modeling cosmic reionization, despite recent extensive studies with small-box high-resolution simulations by Park et al. and Chan […]
Kavli Affiliate: Brian Nord | First 5 Authors: [#item_custom_name[1]], [#item_custom_name[2]], [#item_custom_name[3]], [#item_custom_name[4]], [#item_custom_name[5]] | Summary: Modern astronomical experiments are designed to achieve multiple scientific goals, from studies of galaxy evolution to cosmic acceleration. These goals require data of many different classes of night-sky objects, each of which has a particular set of observational needs. These […]
Kavli Affiliate: Albert Stebbins | First 5 Authors: [#item_custom_name[1]], [#item_custom_name[2]], [#item_custom_name[3]], [#item_custom_name[4]], [#item_custom_name[5]] | Summary: Here it is shown 1) how isocurvature inhomogeneities correlated on causally disconnected (super-horizon) scales are generated from curvature inhomogeneities which are known to be correlated on these scales 2) that super-horizon isocurvature generation is nearly inevitable for non-equilibrium chemical processes […]
