Kavli Affiliate: Wendy L. Freedman | First 5 Authors: Barry F. Madore, Wendy L. Freedman, Kayla Owens, , | Summary: This is the second of two papers exploring the effects of metallicity on the multi-wavelength properties of Cepheids in terms of their multi-wavelength period-luminosity (PL) relations, impacting their use as extragalactic distance indicators, underpinning one […]

Kavli Affiliate: Alexander Ji | First 5 Authors: Michael R. Blanton, Joleen K. Carlberg, Tom Dwelly, Ilija Medan, S. Drew Chojnowski | Summary: We present an algorithmic method for efficiently planning a long-term, large-scale multi-object spectroscopy program. The Sloan Digital Sky Survey V (SDSS-V) Focal Plane System performs multi-object spectroscopy using 500 robotic positioners to […]

Kavli Affiliate: Stephan S. Meyer | First 5 Authors: James. H. Adams Jr., Denis Allard, Phillip Alldredge, Luis Anchordoqui, Anna Anzalone | Summary: The Extreme Universe Space Observatory on a Super Pressure Balloon 2 (EUSO-SPB2) is a pathfinder mission toward a space-based observatory such as the Probe of Extreme Multi-Messenger Astrophysics (POEMMA). The aim of […]

Kavli Affiliate: Salman Habib | First 5 Authors: Salman Habib, Remi Chou, Taejoon Kim, , | Summary: The reconstruction of sparse signals from a limited set of measurements poses a significant challenge as it necessitates a solution to an underdetermined system of linear equations. Compressed sensing (CS) deals with sparse signal reconstruction using techniques such […]

Kavli Affiliate: Andrey Kravtsov | First 5 Authors: Xihan Ji, Vasily Belokurov, Roberto Maiolino, Stephanie Monty, Yuki Isobe | Summary: Recent JWST observations have revealed a growing population of galaxies at $z>4$ with elevated nitrogen-to-oxygen ratios. These "N/O-enhanced" galaxies (NOEGs) exhibit near- to super-solar N/O at sub-solar O/H, clearly deviating from the well-established scaling relation […]

Kavli Affiliate: John E. Carlstrom | First 5 Authors: Rohan Dahale, Ilje Cho, Kotaro Moriyama, Kaj Wiik, Paul Tiede | Summary: We investigate the origin of the elliptical ring structure observed in the images of the supermassive black hole M87*, aiming to disentangle contributions from gravitational, astrophysical, and imaging effects. Leveraging the enhanced capabilities of […]

Benson | First 5 Authors: Rohan Dahale, Ilje Cho, Kotaro Moriyama, Kaj Wiik, Paul Tiede | Summary: We investigate the origin of the elliptical ring structure observed in the images of the supermassive black hole M87*, aiming to disentangle contributions from gravitational, astrophysical, and imaging effects. Leveraging the enhanced capabilities of […]

Kavli Affiliate: Gordan Krnjaic | First 5 Authors: Gordan Krnjaic, , , , | Summary: In light of recent DAMIC-M results, we present the status of thermal-relic dark matter $chi$ coupled to a kinetically-mixed dark photon $A^prime$. In the predictive "direct annihilation" regime, $m_{A’} > m_chi$, the relic abundance depends on the kinetic mixing parameter, […]

Kavli Affiliate: Chihway Chang | First 5 Authors: Jazmine Jefferson, Yuuki Omori, Chihway Chang, Shrihan Agarwal, Joe Zuntz | Summary: In recent years, weak lensing shear catalogs have been released by various Stage-III weak lensing surveys including the Kilo-Degree Survey, the Dark Energy Survey, and the Hyper Suprime-Cam Subaru Strategic Program. These shear catalogs have […]

Kavli Affiliate: Marcela Carena | First 5 Authors: Marcela Carena, Guglielmo Coloretti, Wanqiang Liu, Mira Littmann, Ian Low | Summary: We consider 2-to-2 scatterings of Higgs bosons in a CP-conserving two-Higgs-doublet model (2HDM) and study the implication of maximizing the entanglement in the flavor space, where the two doublets $Phi_a$, $a=1,2$, can be viewed as […]
