The Cosmic Telescope that Lenses the Sunburst Arc, PSZ1 G311.65-18.48: Strong Gravitational Lensing model and Source Plane Analysis

Kavli Affiliate: Michael D. Gladders | First 5 Authors: Keren Sharon, Guillaume Mahler, T. Emil Rivera-Thorsen, Hakon Dahle, Michael D. Gladders | Summary: We present a strong lensing analysis of the cluster PSZ1 G311.65-18.48, based on Hubble Space Telescope imaging, archival VLT/MUSE spectroscopy, and Chandra X-ray data. This cool-core cluster (z=0.443) lenses the brightest lensed […]

Spatial and orbital planes of the Milky Way satellites: unusual but consistent with $Λ$CDM

Kavli Affiliate: Andrey Kravtsov | First 5 Authors: Khanh Pham, Andrey Kravtsov, Viraj Manwadkar, , | Summary: We examine the spatial distribution and orbital pole correlations of satellites in a suite of zoom-in high-resolution dissipationless simulations of Miky Way (MW) sized haloes. We use the measured distribution to estimate the incidence of satellite configurations as […]

Quantum interference in gravitational particle production

Kavli Affiliate: Edward W. Kolb | First 5 Authors: Edward Basso, Daniel J. H. Chung, Edward W. Kolb, Andrew J. Long, | Summary: Previous numerical investigations of gravitational particle production during the coherent oscillation period of inflation displayed unexplained fluctuations in the spectral density of the produced particles. We argue that these features are due […]

Reconstructing Large-scale Temperature Profiles around $zsim 6$ Quasars

Kavli Affiliate: Nickolay Y. Gnedin | First 5 Authors: Huanqing Chen, Rupert Croft, Nickolay Y. Gnedin, , | Summary: High-redshift quasars ionize HeII into HeIII around them, heating the IGM in the process and creating large regions with elevated temperature. In this work, we demonstrate a method based on a convolutional neural network (CNN) to […]

Gauge Theory Couplings on Anisotropic Lattices

Kavli Affiliate: Marcela Carena | First 5 Authors: Marcela Carena, Erik J. Gustafson, Henry Lamm, Ying-Ying Li, Wanqiang Liu | Summary: The advantage of simulating lattice field theory with quantum computers is hamstrung by the limited resources that induce large errors from finite volume and sizable lattice spacings. Previous work has shown how classical simulations […]
