Revealing the Nature of a Lyman-$α$ Halo in a Strongly Lensed Interacting System at $z=2.92$

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Gladders | First 5 Authors: Manuel Solimano, Jorge González-López, Manuel Aravena, Evelyn Johnston, Cristóbal Moya-Sierralta | Summary: Spatially extended halos of H I Ly$alpha$ emission are now ubiquitously found around high-redshift star-forming galaxies. But our understanding of the nature and powering mechanisms of these halos is still hampered by the complex radiative […]

The Simulated Catalogue of Optical Transients and Correlated Hosts (SCOTCH)

Kavli Affiliate: Richard Kessler | First 5 Authors: Martine Lokken, Alexander Gagliano, Gautham Narayan, Renée Hložek, Richard Kessler | Summary: As we observe a rapidly growing number of astrophysical transients, we learn more about the diverse host galaxy environments in which they occur. Host galaxy information can be used to purify samples of cosmological Type […]

Observational Inference on the Delay Time Distribution of Short Gamma-ray Bursts

Kavli Affiliate: Daniel E. Holz | First 5 Authors: Michael Zevin, Anya E. Nugent, Susmita Adhikari, Wen-fai Fong, Daniel E. Holz | Summary: The delay time distribution of neutron star mergers provides critical insights into binary evolution processes and the merger rate evolution of compact object binaries. However, current observational constraints on this delay time […]

Public Release of A-SLOTH: Ancient Stars and Local Observables by Tracing Halos

Kavli Affiliate: Alexander P. Ji | First 5 Authors: Tilman Hartwig, Mattis Magg, Li-Hsin Chen, Yuta Tarumi, Volker Bromm | Summary: The semi-analytical model A-SLOTH (Ancient Stars and Local Observables by Tracing Halos) is the first public code that connects the formation of the first stars and galaxies to observables. After several successful projects with […]

High-Precision Redshifts for Type Ia Supernovae with the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope P127 Prism

Kavli Affiliate: Richard Kessler | First 5 Authors: Bhavin A. Joshi, Louis-Gregory Strolger, Russell E. Ryan, Jr., Alexei V. Filippenko, Rebekah Hounsell | Summary: We present results from simulating slitless spectroscopic observations with the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope’s (Roman) Wide-Field Instrument (WFI) P127 prism spanning 0.75 $mu m$ to 1.8 $mu m$. We quantify […]

Gravity as a gapless phase and biform symmetries

Kavli Affiliate: Austin Joyce | First 5 Authors: Kurt Hinterbichler, Diego M. Hofman, Austin Joyce, Grégoire Mathys, | Summary: We study effective field theories (EFTs) enjoying (maximal) biform symmetries. These are defined by the presence of a conserved (electric) current that has the symmetries of a Young tableau with two columns of equal length. When […]

The Astrophysical Distance Scale: V. A 2% Distance to the Local Group Spiral M33 via the JAGB Method, Tip of the Red Giant Branch, and Leavitt Law

Kavli Affiliate: Wendy L. Freedman | First 5 Authors: Abigail J. Lee, Laurie Rousseau-Nepton, Wendy L. Freedman, Barry F. Madore, Maria-Rosa L. Cioni | Summary: The J-region asymptotic giant branch (JAGB) method is a new standard candle that is based on the stable intrinsic J-band magnitude of color-selected carbon stars, and has a precision comparable […]
