The Initial Mass Function and Other Stellar Properties Across the Core of the Hydra I Cluster

Kavli Affiliate: Wendy Freedman | First 5 Authors: Ilaria Lonoce, Wendy Freedman, Anja Feldmeier-Krause, , | Summary: The Hydra I cluster offers an excellent opportunity to study and compare the relic old stellar populations in the core of its two brightest galaxies. In addition, the differing kinematics of the two galaxies allows a test of […]

Sidelobe Modeling and Mitigation for a Three Mirror Anastigmat Cosmic Microwave Background Telescope

Kavli Affiliate: John Carlstrom | First 5 Authors: Ian Gullett, Bradford Benson, Robert Besuner, Richard Bihary, John Carlstrom | Summary: Telescopes measuring cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarization on large angular scales require exquisite control of systematic errors to ensure the fidelity of the cosmological results. In particular, far-sidelobe contamination from wide angle scattering is a […]

Improving initialization and evolution accuracy of cosmological neutrino simulations

Kavli Affiliate: Salman Habib | First 5 Authors: James M. Sullivan, J. D. Emberson, Salman Habib, Nicholas Frontiere, | Summary: Neutrino mass constraints are a primary focus of current and future large-scale structure (LSS) surveys. Non-linear LSS models rely heavily on cosmological simulations — the impact of massive neutrinos should therefore be included in these […]

Modeling the Galaxy Distribution in Clusters using Halo Cores

Kavli Affiliate: Salman Habib | First 5 Authors: Danila Korytov, Esteban Rangel, Lindsey Bleem, Nicholas Frontiere, Salman Habib | Summary: The galaxy distribution in dark matter-dominated halos is expected to approximately trace the details of the underlying dark matter substructure. In this paper we introduce halo `core-tracking’ as a way to efficiently follow the small-scale […]

Hubble Constant Measurement from Three Large-Separation Quasars Strongly Lensed by Galaxy Clusters

Kavli Affiliate: Michael D. Gladders | First 5 Authors: Kate Napier, Keren Sharon, HÃ¥kon Dahle, Matthew Bayliss, Michael D. Gladders | Summary: Tension between cosmic microwave background-based and distance ladder-based determinations of the Hubble constant ${rm H}_{rm 0}$ motivates pursuit of independent methods that are not subject to the same systematic effects. A promising alternative, […]

Mineral Detection of Neutrinos and Dark Matter. A Whitepaper

Kavli Affiliate: Juan I. Collar | First 5 Authors: Sebastian Baum, Patrick Stengel, Natsue Abe, Javier F. Acevedo, Gabriela R. Araujo | Summary: Minerals are solid state nuclear track detectors – nuclear recoils in a mineral leave latent damage to the crystal structure. Depending on the mineral and its temperature, the damage features are retained […]

TDCOSMO. XIII. Improved Hubble constant measurement from lensing time delays using spatially resolved stellar kinematics of the lens galaxy

Kavli Affiliate: Joshua A. Frieman | First 5 Authors: Anowar J. Shajib, Pritom Mozumdar, Geoff C. -F. Chen, Tommaso Treu, Michele Cappellari | Summary: Strong-lensing time delays enable measurement of the Hubble constant ($H_{0}$) independently of other traditional methods. The main limitation to the precision of time-delay cosmography is mass-sheet degeneracy (MSD). Some of the […]
