An end-to-end calibration of the Mini-EUSO detector in space

Kavli Affiliate: Angela Olinto | First 5 Authors: Hiroko Miyamoto, Matteo Battisti, Dario Barghini, Alexander Belov, Mario Bertaina | Summary: Mini-EUSO is a wide Field-of-View (FoV, 44$^{circ}$) telescope currently in operation from a nadia-facing UV-transparent window in the Russian Zvezda module on the International Space Station (ISS). It is the first detector of the JEM-EUSO […]

In-situ vs accreted Milky Way globular clusters: a new classification method and implications for cluster formation

Kavli Affiliate: Andrey Kravtsov | First 5 Authors: Vasily Belokurov, Andrey Kravtsov, , , | Summary: We present a new scheme for the classification of the in-situ and accreted globular clusters (GCs). The scheme uses total energy $E$ and $z$-component of the orbital angular momentum and is calibrated using [Al/Fe] abundance ratio. We demonstrate that […]

POEMMA (Probe of Extreme Multi-Messenger Astrophysics) Roadmap Update

Kavli Affiliate: Angela V. Olinto | First 5 Authors: Angela V. Olinto, , , , | Summary: The Probe Of Extreme Multi-Messenger Astrophysics (POEMMA) was designed as a NASA Astrophysics probe-class mission to identify the sources of ultrahigh energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) and observe cosmic neutrinos from extremely energetic transient sources. POEMMA consists of two […]

Dissecting the Thermal SZ Power Spectrum by Halo Mass and Redshift in SPT-SZ Data and Simulations

Kavli Affiliate: Lindsey Bleem | First 5 Authors: Josemanuel Hernandez, Lindsey Bleem, Thomas Crawford, Nicholas Huang, Yuuki Omori | Summary: We explore the relationship between the thermal Sunyaev-Zel’dovich (tSZ) power spectrum amplitude and the halo mass and redshift of galaxy clusters in South Pole Telescope (SPT) data, in comparison with three $N$-body simulations combined with […]

Systematics in the Cepheid and TRGB Distance Scales: Metallicity Sensitivity of the Wesenheit Leavitt Law

Kavli Affiliate: Wendy L. Freedman | First 5 Authors: Barry F. Madore, Wendy L. Freedman, , , | Summary: Using an updated and significantly augmented sample of Cepheid and TRGB distances to 28 nearby spiral and irregular galaxies, covering a wide range of metallicities, we have searched for evidence of a correlation of the zero-point […]

Taking the Milky Way for a spin: disc formation in the ARTEMIS simulations

Kavli Affiliate: Andrey Kravtsov | First 5 Authors: Adam M. Dillamore, Vasily Belokurov, Andrey Kravtsov, Andreea S. Font, | Summary: We investigate the formation (spin-up) of galactic discs in the ARTEMIS simulations of Milky Way-mass galaxies. In almost all galaxies discs spin up at higher [Fe/H] than the Milky Way (MW). Those that contain an […]
