Kavli Affiliate: Savdeep Sethi | First 5 Authors: Savdeep Sethi, , , , | Summary: Type II string theory and M-theory admit flux configurations that break supersymmetry below the Kaluza-Klein scale. These backgrounds play a central role in most models of the string landscape. I argue that the behavior of such backgrounds at weak coupling […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jeffrey John McMahon | First 5 Authors: Sean Bryan, Peter Ade, J. Richard Bond, Francois Boulanger, Mark Devlin | Summary: BFORE is a NASA high-altitude ultra-long-duration balloon mission proposed to measure the cosmic microwave background (CMB) across half the sky during a 28-day mid-latitude flight launched from Wanaka, New Zealand. With the unique […]
Kavli Affiliate: Richard Kessler | First 5 Authors: Richard Kessler, Dan Scolnic, , , | Summary: We present a new technique to create a bin-averaged Hubble Diagram (HD) from photometrically identified SN~Ia data. The resulting HD is corrected for selection biases and contamination from core collapse (CC) SNe, and can be used to infer cosmological […]
Kavli Affiliate: Elise Jennings | First 5 Authors: Elise Jennings, Maeve Madigan, , , | Summary: Given the complexity of modern cosmological parameter inference where we are faced with non-Gaussian data and noise, correlated systematics and multi-probe correlated data sets, the Approximate Bayesian Computation (ABC) method is a promising alternative to traditional Markov Chain Monte […]
Kavli Affiliate: Austin Joyce | First 5 Authors: Kurt Hinterbichler, Austin Joyce, , , | Summary: In four dimensions, partially massless fields of all spins and depths possess a duality invariance akin to electric-magnetic duality. We construct metric-like gauge invariant curvature tensors for partially massless fields of all integer spins and depths, and show how […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jeffrey McMahon | First 5 Authors: Jeffrey M. McMahon, , , , | Summary: Density-functional theory is a formally exact description of a many-body quantum system in terms of its density; in practice, however, approximations to the universal density functional are required. In this work, a model based on deep learning is developed […]

Kavli Affiliate: Chihway Chang | First 5 Authors: Chihway Chang, Christian Monstein, Joel Akeret, Sebastian Seehars, Alexandre Refregier | Summary: We describe the design and performance of the hardware system at the Bleien Observatory. The system is designed to deliver a map of the Galaxy for studying the foreground contamination of low-redshift (z=0.13–0.43) H$_{rm I}$ […]
Kavli Affiliate: Eric Oberla | First 5 Authors: M. Bogdan, E. Oberla, H. J. Frisch, M. Wetstein, | Summary: We describe a modular multi-channel data acquisition system based on the 5-15 Gigasample-per-second waveform-recording PSEC4 chip. The system architecture incorporates two levels of hardware with FPGA-embedded system control and in-line data processing. The front-end unit is […]
Kavli Affiliate: Donald G. York | First 5 Authors: Ryan J. Oelkers, Lucas M. Macri, Lifan Wang, Michael C. B. Ashley, Xiangqun Cui | Summary: The Chinese Small Telescope ARray (CSTAR) carried out high-cadence time-series observations of 20.1 square degrees centered on the South Celestial Pole during the 2008, 2009 & 2010 winter seasons from […]
