Kavli Affiliate: Edward W. Kolb | First 5 Authors: Leah Jenks, Edward W. Kolb, Keyer Thyme, , | Summary: Cosmological gravitational particle production (GPP) is a generic mechanism by which particles are produced during the inflationary epoch. In this work we consider the GPP of massive scalars in an effort to fully understand the spectrum […]
Kavli Affiliate: Michael D. Gladders | First 5 Authors: M. Riley Owens, Keunho J. Kim, Matthew B. Bayliss, T. Emil Rivera-Thorsen, Keren Sharon | Summary: We investigate the Lyman-$alpha$ (Ly$alpha$) and Lyman continuum (LyC) properties of the Sunburst Arc, a $z=2.37$ gravitationally lensed galaxy with a multiply-imaged, compact region leaking LyC and a triple-peaked Ly$alpha$ […]
Kavli Affiliate: Alexander P. Ji | First 5 Authors: Anya E. Nugent, Alexander P. Ji, Wen-fai Fong, Hilay Shah, Freeke van de Voort | Summary: Neutron star (NS) mergers are currently the only observed source of r-process production in the Universe. Yet, it is unclear how much r-process mass from these mergers is incorporated into […]

Yet, it is unclear how much $r$-process mass from these mergers is incorporated into […]
Kavli Affiliate: Salman Habib | First 5 Authors: Tupendra Oli, Wilkie Olin-Ammentorp, Xingfu Wu, Justin H. Qian, Vinod K. Sangwan | Summary: As particle physics experiments evolve to achieve higher energies and resolutions, handling the massive data volumes produced by silicon pixel detectors, which are used for charged particle tracking, poses a significant challenge. To […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jeffrey J. McMahon | First 5 Authors: Alina Sabyr, Carlos Sierra, J. Colin Hill, Jeffrey J. McMahon, | Summary: Deviations of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) energy spectrum from a perfect blackbody uniquely probe a wide range of physics, ranging from fundamental physics in the primordial Universe ($mu$-distortion) to late-time baryonic feedback processes […]
Kavli Affiliate: Brian D. Nord | First 5 Authors: Ashwin Samudre, Mircea Petrache, Brian D. Nord, Shubhendu Trivedi, | Summary: There has been much recent interest in designing symmetry-aware neural networks (NNs) exhibiting relaxed equivariance. Such NNs aim to interpolate between being exactly equivariant and being fully flexible, affording consistent performance benefits. In a separate […]
Kavli Affiliate: Michael D. Gladders | First 5 Authors: Erik Solhaug, Hsiao-Wen Chen, Mandy C. Chen, Fakhri Zahedy, Max Gronke | Summary: The hydrogen Lyman-alpha (Lya) emission line, the brightest spectral feature of a photoionized gas, is considered an indirect tracer of the escape of Lyman continuum (LyC) photons, particularly when the intergalactic medium is […]
