Ion-beam Assisted Sputtering of Titanium Nitride Thin Films

Kavli Affiliate: Clarence Chang | First 5 Authors: Timothy Draher, Tomas Polakovic, Juliang Li, Yi Li, Ulrich Welp | Summary: Titanium nitride is a material of interest for many superconducting devices such as nanowire microwave resonators and photon detectors. Thus, controlling the growth of TiN thin films with desirable properties is of high importance. In […]

The connection between galactic outflows and the escape of ionizing photons

Kavli Affiliate: Michael D. Gladders | First 5 Authors: Ramesh Mainali, Jane R. Rigby, John Chisholm, Matthew Bayliss, Rongmon Bordoloi | Summary: We analyze spectra of a gravitationally lensed galaxy, known as the Sunburst Arc, that is leaking ionizing photons, also known as the Lyman continuum (LyC). Magnification from gravitational lensing permits the galaxy to […]

Breaking Bad Degeneracies with Love: Improving gravitational-wave measurements through universal relations

Kavli Affiliate: Daniel E. Holz | First 5 Authors: Yiqi Xie, Deep Chatterjee, Gilbert Holder, Daniel E. Holz, Scott Perkins | Summary: The distance-inclination degeneracy limits gravitational-wave parameter estimation of compact binary mergers. Although the degeneracy can be partially broken by including higher-order modes or precession, these effects are suppressed in binary neutron stars. In […]

Using Host Galaxy Photometric Redshifts to Improve Cosmological Constraints with Type Ia Supernova in the LSST Era

Kavli Affiliate: Richard Kessler | First 5 Authors: Ayan Mitra, Richard Kessler, Surhud More, Renee Hlozek, | Summary: We perform a rigorous cosmology analysis on simulated type Ia supernovae (SN~Ia) and evaluate the improvement from including photometric host-galaxy redshifts compared to using only the "zspec" subset with spectroscopic redshifts from the host or SN. We […]

Freezing In Vector Dark Matter Through Magnetic Dipole Interactions

Kavli Affiliate: Gordan Krnjaic | First 5 Authors: Gordan Krnjaic, Duncan Rocha, Anastasia Sokolenko, , | Summary: We study a simple model of vector dark matter that couples to Standard Model particles via magnetic dipole interactions. In this scenario, the cosmological abundance arises through the freeze-in mechanism and depends on the dipole coupling, the vector […]
