Kavli Affiliate: Jeffrey A. Harvey | First 5 Authors: Harry Fosbinder-Elkins, Harry Fosbinder-Elkins, , , | Summary: In 2023, Moore and Singh used the theory of orbifold vertex operator algebras to explicitly construct an $mathcalN = 1$ supercurrent in the Beauty and the Beast module of Dixon, Ginsparg, and Harvey. Using their techniques, we show […]

Kavli Affiliate: Bradford A. Benson | First 5 Authors: Isaac S. Magolego, Isaac S. Magolego, , , | Summary: Radio halos are diffuse synchrotron sources that trace the turbulent intracluster medium (ICM) of galaxy clusters. However, their origin remains unknown. Two main formation models have been proposed: the hadronic model, in which relativistic electrons are […]
Kavli Affiliate: Wendy L. Freedman | First 5 Authors: M. M. Phillips, M. M. Phillips, , , | Summary: In this paper, the suitability of fast-declining Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) as cosmological standard candles is examined utilizing a Hubble Flow sample of 43 of these objects observed by the Carnegie Supernova Project (CSP). We […]
Kavli Affiliate: Wayne Hu | First 5 Authors: Giulia Campailla, Giulia Campailla, , , | Summary: When a gravitational wave encounters a massive object along the line of sight, repeated copies of the original signal may be produced due to gravitational lensing. In this paper, we develop a series of new machine-learning based statistical methods […]
Kavli Affiliate: Stephan Meyer | First 5 Authors: Eric Mayotte, Eric Mayotte, , , | Summary: POEMMA Balloon with Radio (PBR) is a NASA super-pressure balloon mission building toward the proposed Probe Of Extreme Multi-Messenger Astrophysics (POEMMA) dual satellite mission. In its planned 2027 launch, PBR will study Ultra-High-Energy Cosmic Rays, Neutrinos, and High-Altitude Horizontal […]

Kavli Affiliate: Andrey Kravtsov | First 5 Authors: Sarah G. Kane, Sarah G. Kane, , , | Summary: As sites of some of the most efficient star formation in the Universe, globular clusters (GCs) have long been hypothesized to be the building blocks of young galaxies. Within the Milky Way, our best tracers of the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Andrey Kravtsov | First 5 Authors: Simon May, Simon May, , , | Summary: The particle mass of dark matter (DM) was previously constrained using kinematics of ultra-faint dwarf galaxies to $m > 3 times 10^-19,mathrmeV$. This constraint, which excludes the "fuzzy" range of ultra-light dark matter from comprising all of the DM, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Salman Habib | First 5 Authors: Andrew Ferguson, Andrew Ferguson, , , | Summary: This community paper developed out of the NSF Workshop on the Future of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Mathematical and Physics Sciences (MPS), which was held in March 2025 with the goal of understanding how the MPS domains (Astronomy, […]
