Kavli Affiliate: Richard Kessler | First 5 Authors: Martine Lokken, Alexander Gagliano, Gautham Narayan, Renée Hložek, Richard Kessler | Summary: As we observe a rapidly growing number of astrophysical transients, we learn more about the diverse host galaxy environments in which they occur. Host galaxy information can be used to purify samples of cosmological Type […]
Kavli Affiliate: Daniel E. Holz | First 5 Authors: Michael Zevin, Anya E. Nugent, Susmita Adhikari, Wen-fai Fong, Daniel E. Holz | Summary: The delay time distribution of neutron star mergers provides critical insights into binary evolution processes and the merger rate evolution of compact object binaries. However, current observational constraints on this delay time […]
Kavli Affiliate: Alexander P. Ji | First 5 Authors: Tilman Hartwig, Mattis Magg, Li-Hsin Chen, Yuta Tarumi, Volker Bromm | Summary: The semi-analytical model A-SLOTH (Ancient Stars and Local Observables by Tracing Halos) is the first public code that connects the formation of the first stars and galaxies to observables. After several successful projects with […]

Kavli Affiliate: Richard Kessler | First 5 Authors: Bhavin A. Joshi, Louis-Gregory Strolger, Russell E. Ryan, Jr., Alexei V. Filippenko, Rebekah Hounsell | Summary: We present results from simulating slitless spectroscopic observations with the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope’s (Roman) Wide-Field Instrument (WFI) P127 prism spanning 0.75 $mu m$ to 1.8 $mu m$. We quantify […]

Kavli Affiliate: Austin Joyce | First 5 Authors: Kurt Hinterbichler, Diego M. Hofman, Austin Joyce, Grégoire Mathys, | Summary: We study effective field theories (EFTs) enjoying (maximal) biform symmetries. These are defined by the presence of a conserved (electric) current that has the symmetries of a Young tableau with two columns of equal length. When […]
Kavli Affiliate: Wendy L. Freedman | First 5 Authors: Abigail J. Lee, Laurie Rousseau-Nepton, Wendy L. Freedman, Barry F. Madore, Maria-Rosa L. Cioni | Summary: The J-region asymptotic giant branch (JAGB) method is a new standard candle that is based on the stable intrinsic J-band magnitude of color-selected carbon stars, and has a precision comparable […]

Kavli Affiliate: Daniel E. Holz | First 5 Authors: Michael Zevin, Daniel E. Holz, , , | Summary: The population of binary black hole mergers identified through gravitational waves has uncovered unexpected features in the intrinsic properties of black holes in the Universe. One particularly surprising and exciting result is the possible existence of black […]
