Kavli Affiliate: Katrin Heitmann, Aaron Roodman | First 5 Authors: Bob Blum, Seth W. Digel, Alex Drlica-Wagner, Salman Habib, Katrin Heitmann | Summary: The Vera C. Rubin Observatory will begin the Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) in 2024, spanning an area of 18,000 square degrees in six bands, with more than 800 observations […]
Kavli Affiliate: John E. Carlstrom | First 5 Authors: Eric J. Baxter, Chihway Chang, Andrew Hearin, Jonathan Blazek, Lindsey E. Bleem | Summary: Cosmological data in the next decade will be characterized by high-precision, multi-wavelength measurements of thousands of square degrees of the same patches of sky. By performing multi-survey analyses that harness the correlated […]

Kavli Affiliate: Edward Kolb | First 5 Authors: Daniel Carney, Nirmal Raj, Yang Bai, Joshua Berger, Carlos Blanco | Summary: We outline the unique opportunities and challenges in the search for "ultraheavy" dark matter candidates with masses between roughly $10~{rm TeV}$ and the Planck scale $m_{rm pl} approx 10^{16}~{rm TeV}$. This mass range presents a […]

Kavli Affiliate: Daniel E. Holz | First 5 Authors: Emanuele Berti, Vitor Cardoso, Zoltán Haiman, Daniel E. Holz, Emil Mottola | Summary: Gravitational wave detectors are formidable tools to explore strong-field gravity, especially black holes and neutron stars. These compact objects are extraordinarily efficient at producing electromagnetic and gravitational radiation. As such, they are ideal […]

Kavli Affiliate: Andrey Kravtsov | First 5 Authors: Neal Dalal, Andrey Kravtsov, , , | Summary: We use observations of ultra-faint dwarf (UFD) galaxies to constrain the particle mass of ultra-light dark matter. Potential fluctuations created by wave interference in virialized "fuzzy" dark matter (FDM) halos dynamically heat stellar orbits in UFDs, some of which […]

Kavli Affiliate: Austin Joyce | First 5 Authors: Noah Bittermann, Austin Joyce, , , | Summary: We study the structure of the flat space wavefunctional in scalar field theories with nonlinearly realized symmetries. These symmetries imply soft theorems that are satisfied by wavefunction coefficients in the limit where one of the external momenta is scaled […]
