Kavli Affiliate: Naoki Yasuda | First 5 Authors: Seiji Toshikage, Masaomi Tanaka, Naoki Yasuda, Takashi J. Moriya, Ichiro Takahashi | Summary: Recent high-cadence transient surveys have discovered rapid transients whose light curve timescales are shorter than those of typical supernovae. In this paper, we present a systematic search for rapid transients at medium-high redshifts among […]
Kavli Affiliate: David N. Spergel | First 5 Authors: Elena Hernández-Martínez, Shy Genel, Francisco Villaescusa-Navarro, Ulrich P. Steinwandel, Max E. Lee | Summary: We present a study on the inference of cosmological and astrophysical parameters using stacked galaxy cluster profiles. Utilizing the CAMELS-zoomGZ simulations, we explore how various cluster properties–such as X-ray surface brightness, gas […]
Kavli Affiliate: Blake Sherwin | First 5 Authors: Frank J. Qu, Qianjun Hang, Gerrit Farren, Boris Bolliet, Jessica Nicole Aguilar | Summary: We measure the growth of cosmic density fluctuations on large scales and across the redshift range $0.3<z<0.8$ through the cross-correlation of the ACT DR6 CMB lensing map and galaxies from the DESI Legacy […]
Kavli Affiliate: Aaron Roodman | First 5 Authors: Sydney Erickson, Sebastian Wagner-Carena, Phil Marshall, Martin Millon, Simon Birrer | Summary: Strongly lensed quasars can be used to constrain cosmological parameters through time-delay cosmography. Models of the lens masses are a necessary component of this analysis. To enable time-delay cosmography from a sample of $mathcal{O}(10^3)$ lenses, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Xian Chen | First 5 Authors: Yucheng Yin, Josh Mathews, Alvin J. K. Chua, Xian Chen, | Summary: A binary extreme-mass-ratio inspiral (b-EMRI) is a hierarchical triple system consisting of a stellar-mass binary black hole (BBH) orbiting a central Kerr supermassive black hole (SMBH). Although predicted by several astrophysical models, b-EMRIs pose a […]
Kavli Affiliate: Subo Dong | First 5 Authors: Luming Sun, Ning Jiang, Liming Dou, Xinwen Shu, Jiazheng Zhu | Summary: We report the discovery of a second optical flare that occurred in September 2021 in IRAS F01004-2237, where the first flare occurred in 2010 has been reported, and present a detailed analysis of multi-band data. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Todor Milanov | First 5 Authors: John Alexander Cruz Morales, Todor Milanov, , , | Summary: We give a reformulation of the Dubrovin conjecture about the semisimplicity of quantum cohomology in terms of the so-called second structure connection of quantum cohomology. The key ingredient in our work is the notion of a twisted […]
Kavli Affiliate: Lijing Shao | First 5 Authors: Wen-Fan Feng, Tan Liu, Yan Wang, Lijing Shao, | Summary: The successful detection of continuous gravitational waves (GWs) from spinning neutron stars (NSs) will shape our understanding of the physical properties of dense matter under extreme conditions. Binary population synthesis simulations show that forthcoming space-borne GW detectors […]
Kavli Affiliate: Nergis Mavalvala | First 5 Authors: Benjamin B. Lane, Junxin Chen, Ronald E. Pagano, Scott Aronson, Garrett D. Cole | Summary: Squeezed mechanical states are a valuable tool for quantum sensing and error correction in quantum computing, and a pivotal platform for tests of fundamental physics. Recently, solid state mechanical oscillators have been […]
