Kavli Affiliate: Bruce Macintosh | First 5 Authors: Zhenxi Du, Saavidra Perera, Daniel Levinstein, Quinn Konopacky, Alex Madurowicz | Summary: The Earth’s atmosphere is comprised of turbulent layers that result in speckled and blurry images from ground-based visible and infrared observations. Adaptive Optics (AO) systems are employed to measure the perturbed wavefront with a wavefront […]
Kavli Affiliate: Erin Kara | First 5 Authors: Oluwashina Adegoke, Javier Garcia, Riley Connors, Yuanze Ding, Guglielmo Mastroserio | Summary: MAXI J1803-298 is a transient black hole candidate discovered in May of 2021 during an outburst that lasted several months. Multiple X-ray observations reveal recurring "dipping" intervals in several of its light curves, particularly during […]
Kavli Affiliate: Risa H. Wechsler | First 5 Authors: Delon Shen, Nickolas Kokron, Joseph DeRose, Jeremy Tinker, Risa H. Wechsler | Summary: Precise and accurate predictions of the halo mass function for cluster mass scales in $wnu{rm CDM}$ cosmologies are crucial for extracting robust and unbiased cosmological information from upcoming galaxy cluster surveys. Here, we […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jia Liu | First 5 Authors: Joaquin Armijo, Gabriela A. Marques, Camila P. Novaes, Leander Thiele, Jessica A. Cowell | Summary: We use Minkowski functionals to analyse weak lensing convergence maps from the first-year data release of the Subaru Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC-Y1) survey. Minkowski functionals provide a description of the morphological properties of […]
Kavli Affiliate: David H. Shoemaker | First 5 Authors: Kathryne J. Daniel, Joshua R. Smith, Stefan Ballmer, Warren Bristol, Jennifer C. Driggers | Summary: Cosmic Explorer (CE) is a next-generation ground-based gravitational-wave observatory that is being designed in the 2020s and is envisioned to begin operations in the 2030s together with the Einstein Telescope in […]
Kavli Affiliate: Ke Wang | First 5 Authors: Kunyan Zhang, Rinu Abraham Maniyara, Yuanxi Wang, Arpit Jain, Maxwell T. Wetherington | Summary: Harnessing quantum interference among bosons provides significant opportunities as bosons often carry longer coherence time than fermions. As an example of quantum interference, Fano resonance involving phonons or photons describes the coupling between […]
Kavli Affiliate: Debora Sijacki | First 5 Authors: Tibor Dome, Sergio Martin-Alvarez, Sandro Tacchella, Yuxuan Yuan, Debora Sijacki | Summary: We study star formation variability, or burstiness, as a method to constrain and compare different galaxy formation models at high redshift using the Azahar simulation suite. The models range from magneto-hydrodynamics with a magneto-thermo-turbulent prescription […]
Kavli Affiliate: John D. Silverman | First 5 Authors: Takumi S. Tanaka, John D. Silverman, Yurina Nakazato, Masafusa Onoue, Kazuhiro Shimasaku | Summary: The current paradigm for the co-evolution of galaxies and their supermassive black holes postulates that dust-obscured active galactic nuclei (AGNs) represent a transitional phase towards a more luminous and unobscured state. However, […]
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 […]
Kavli Affiliate: Philip Marshall | First 5 Authors: Alex Brooks, Philip Marshall, David Ozog, Md. Wasi-ur- Rahman, Lawrence Stewart | Summary: Modern high-end systems are increasingly becoming heterogeneous, providing users options to use general purpose Graphics Processing Units (GPU) and other accelerators for additional performance. High Performance Computing (HPC) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications are […]
