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 […]

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: Upcoming surveys are predicted to discover galaxy-scale strong lenses on the order of $10^5$, making deep learning methods necessary in lensing data analysis. Currently, there is insufficient real lensing data to train deep learning algorithms, but the alternative of training […]

Kavli Affiliate: Wayne Hu | First 5 Authors: [#item_custom_name[1]], [#item_custom_name[2]], [#item_custom_name[3]], [#item_custom_name[4]], [#item_custom_name[5]] | Summary: Isocurvature fluctuations, where the relative number density of particle species spatially varies, can be generated from initially adiabatic or curvature fluctuations if the various species fall out of or were never in thermal equilibrium. The freezing of the thermal relic […]

Kavli Affiliate: Wayne Hu | First 5 Authors: Ian Holst, Wayne Hu, Leah Jenks, , | Summary: Isocurvature fluctuations, where the relative number density of particle species spatially varies, can be generated from initially adiabatic, or curvature, fluctuations if the various species fall out of or were never in thermal equilibrium. The freezing of the […]

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Crisler | First 5 Authors: Andrea Bersani, Alan D. Bross, Michael Crisler, Stefania Farinon, Christopher Hayes | Summary: We present a novel conceptual design for a magnet system that provides the magnetic field necessary for the analysis of tracks in a high-pressure gaseous argon TPC while simultaneously serving as a pressure vessel […]
