Kavli Affiliate: Michael D. Gladders | First 5 Authors: J. R. Rigby, Michael Florian, A. Acharyya, Matthew Bayliss, Michael D. Gladders | Summary: For the extremely bright lensed galaxy SDSS J1723+3411 at z=1.3293 , we analyze spatially integrated MMT, Keck, and Hubble Space Telescope spectra that fully cover the rest-frame wavelength range of 1400 to […]

Kavli Affiliate: Carlos E. M. Wagner | First 5 Authors: Sebastian Baum, Marcela Carena, Nausheen R. Shah, Carlos E. M. Wagner, Yikun Wang | Summary: Electroweak baryogenesis is an attractive mechanism to generate the baryon asymmetry of the Universe via a strong first order electroweak phase transition. We compare the phase transition patterns suggested by […]

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Turner | First 5 Authors: Gianmarco Mengaldo, David Moxey, Michael Turner, Rodrigo C. Moura, Ayad Jassim | Summary: We present a successful deployment of high-fidelity Large-Eddy Simulation (LES) technologies based on spectral/hp element methods to industrial flow problems, which are characterized by high Reynolds numbers and complex geometries. In particular, we describe […]

Kavli Affiliate: Emil J. Martinec | First 5 Authors: Emil J. Martinec, Nicholas P. Warner, , , | Summary: We consider the fate of a massless (or ultra-relativistic massive) string probe propagating down the BTZ-like throat of a microstate geometry in the D1-D5 system. Far down the throat, the probe encounters large tidal forces that […]

Kavli Affiliate: Jonathan L. Rosner | First 5 Authors: Marek Karliner, Jonathan L. Rosner, , , | Summary: Structure in the di-$J/psi$ mass spectrum observed by the LHCb experiment around 6.9 and 7.2 GeV is interpreted in terms of $J^{PC}=0^{++}$ and $2^{++}$ resonances between a $cc$ diquark and a $bar c bar c$ antidiquark, using […]

Kavli Affiliate: Edward W. Kolb | First 5 Authors: Edward W. Kolb, Andrew J. Long, , , | Summary: Starting with the de Broglie–Proca Lagrangian for a massive vector field, we calculate the number density of particles resulting from gravitational particle production (GPP) during inflation, with detailed consideration to the evolution of the number density […]

Kavli Affiliate: Robert M. Wald | First 5 Authors: Jose María Ezquiaga, Daniel E. Holz, Wayne Hu, Macarena Lagos, Robert M. Wald | Summary: Assessing the probability that two or more gravitational waves (GWs) are lensed images of the same source requires an understanding of the image properties, including their relative phase shifts in strong […]

Kavli Affiliate: Joshua Frieman | First 5 Authors: Yu-Ching Chen, Xin Liu, Wei-Ting Liao, A. Miguel Holgado, Hengxiao Guo | Summary: Periodically variable quasars have been suggested as close binary supermassive black holes. We present a systematic search for periodic light curves in 625 spectroscopically confirmed quasars with a median redshift of 1.8 in a […]

Kavli Affiliate: Richard Kessler | First 5 Authors: Wei-Ting Liao, Yu-Ching Chen, Xin Liu, A. Miguel Holgado, Hengxiao Guo | Summary: Binary supermassive black holes (BSBHs) are expected to be a generic byproduct from hierarchical galaxy formation. The final coalescence of BSBHs is thought to be the loudest gravitational wave (GW) siren, yet no confirmed […]

Kavli Affiliate: Karen Byrum | First 5 Authors: The CMB-S4 Collaboration, :, Kevork Abazajian, Graeme E. Addison, Peter Adshead | Summary: CMB-S4—the next-generation ground-based cosmic microwave background (CMB) experiment—is set to significantly advance the sensitivity of CMB measurements and enhance our understanding of the origin and evolution of the Universe, from the highest energies at […]
