Using Host Galaxy Photometric Redshifts to Improve Cosmological Constraints with Type Ia Supernova in the LSST Era

Kavli Affiliate: Richard Kessler | First 5 Authors: Ayan Mitra, Richard Kessler, Surhud More, Renee Hlozek, The LSST Dark Energy Science Collaboration | Summary: We perform a rigorous cosmology analysis on simulated type Ia supernovae (SN~Ia) and evaluate the improvement from including photometric host-galaxy redshifts compared to using only the "zspec" subset with spectroscopic redshifts […]

Freezing In Vector Dark Matter Through Magnetic Dipole Interactions

Kavli Affiliate: Gordan Krnjaic | First 5 Authors: Gordan Krnjaic, Duncan Rocha, Anastasia Sokolenko, , | Summary: We study a simple model of vector dark matter that couples to Standard Model particles via magnetic dipole interactions. In this scenario, the cosmological abundance arises through the freeze-in mechanism and depends on the dipole coupling, the vector […]

Neutrino propagation in the Earth and emerging charged leptons with $texttt{nuPyProp}$

Kavli Affiliate: Angela V. Olinto | First 5 Authors: Diksha Garg, Sameer Patel, Mary Hall Reno, Alexander Ruestle, Yosui Akaike | Summary: Ultra-high-energy neutrinos serve as messengers of some of the highest energy astrophysical environments. Given that neutrinos are neutral and only interact via weak interactions, neutrinos can emerge from sources, traverse astronomical distances, and […]

Cosmic Reionization On Computers: Baryonic Effects on Halo Concentrations During the Epoch of Reionization

Kavli Affiliate: Nickolay Y. Gnedin | First 5 Authors: Hanjue Zhu, Nickolay Y. Gnedin, , , | Summary: Baryons both increase halo concentration through adiabatic contraction and expel mass through feedback processes. However, it is not well understood how the radiation fields prevalent during the epoch of reionization affect the evolution of concentration in dark […]
