Kavli Affiliate: Daniel E. Holz | First 5 Authors: Thomas A. Callister, Reed Essick, Daniel E. Holz, , | Summary: Characterization of search selection effects comprises a core element of gravitational-wave data analysis. Knowledge of selection effects is needed to predict observational prospects for future surveys and is essential in the statistical inference of astrophysical […]

Kavli Affiliate: Jeffrey A. Harvey | First 5 Authors: Harry Fosbinder-Elkins, Jeffrey A. Harvey, , , | Summary: It has been known since 1992 that the McKay-Thompson series $T_g(q)$ of the Moonshine module form Hauptmoduln for genus zero subgroups of $SL(2, mathbb{R})$. In 2021, Lin and Shao constructed a series analogous to the McKay-Thompson series […]

Kavli Affiliate: Angela Olinto | First 5 Authors: Matteo Battisti, Johannes Eser, George Filippatos, Angela Olinto, Giuseppe Osteria | Summary: The POEMMA-Balloon with Radio (PBR) is a proposed payload to fly on a NASA Super Pressure Balloon (SPB). It will act as a pathfinder of the Probe Of Extreme Multi-Messenger Astrophysics (POEMMA) detector. PBR will […]

Kavli Affiliate: Carlos E. M. Wagner | First 5 Authors: Leandro Da Rold, Anibal D. Medina, Subhojit Roy, Carlos E. M. Wagner, | Summary: Although protons are baryons with an overall vanishing lepton number, they possess a non-trivial leptonic content arising from quantum fluctuations which can be described by lepton parton distribution functions (PDFs) of […]

Kavli Affiliate: Wayne Hu | First 5 Authors: Wayne Hu, Qiuyue Liang, Meng-Xiang Lin, Mark Trodden, | Summary: We consider the effects of relaxing the assumption that gravitational waves composing the stochastic gravitational wave background (SGWB) are uncorrelated between frequencies in analyses of the data from Pulsar Timing Arrays (PTAs). While individual monochromatic plane waves […]

Kavli Affiliate: Alexander P. Ji | First 5 Authors: Yuan-Sen Ting, Alexander P. Ji, , , | Summary: Dwarf galaxy star formation histories are theoretically expected to be bursty, potentially leaving distinct imprints on their chemical evolution. We propose that episodic starbursts with quiescent periods longer than $sim$100 Myr should lead to discontinuous tracks in […]

Kavli Affiliate: Wendy L. Freedman | First 5 Authors: Wendy L. Freedman, Barry F. Madore, In Sung Jang, Taylor J. Hoyt, Abigail J. Lee | Summary: We present the latest results from the Chicago Carnegie Hubble Program (CCHP) to measure the Hubble constant using data from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). This program is […]

Kavli Affiliate: Wendy L. Freedman | First 5 Authors: Abigail J. Lee, Wendy L. Freedman, Barry F. Madore, In Sung Jang, Kayla A. Owens | Summary: The J-region asymptotic giant branch (JAGB) method is a new standard candle based on the constant luminosities of carbon-rich asymptotic giant branch stars in the J band. The JAGB […]
