Forecast of joint analysis of cosmic shear and supernovae magnification from CSST and LSST

Kavli Affiliate: Hu Zhan | First 5 Authors: Ye Cao, Bin Hu, Ji Yao, Hu Zhan, | Summary: Cosmic shear and cosmic magnification reflect the same gravitational lensing field. Each of these two probes are affected by different systematics. We study the auto- and cross-correlations of the cosmic shear from the China Space Survey Telescope […]

Narrow spectrum in repeating fast radio burst

Kavli Affiliate: Renxin Xu | First 5 Authors: Wei-Yang Wang, Yuan-Pei Yang, Hong-Bo Li, Jifeng Liu, Renxin Xu | Summary: Fast radio bursts (FRBs) can present narrow-band spectra with a variety of polarization properties. We study spectral properties from perspectives of intrinsic radiation mechanisms by invoking bunching mechanism and perturbations on charged bunches moving at […]

KMT-2023-BLG-1431Lb: A New $q < 10^{-4}$ Microlensing Planet from a Subtle Signature

Kavli Affiliate: Subo Dong | First 5 Authors: Aislyn Bell, Jiyuan Zhang, Youn Kil Jung, Jennifer C. Yee, Hongjing Yang | Summary: The current studies of microlensing planets are limited by small number statistics. Follow-up observations of high-magnification microlensing events can efficiently form a statistical planetary sample. Since 2020, the Korea Microlensing Telescope Network (KMTNet) […]

Gravitomagnetic Clock Effect: Using GALILEO to explore General Relativity

Kavli Affiliate: Sven Herrmann | First 5 Authors: Jan Scheumann, Dennis Philipp, Sven Herrmann, Eva Hackmann, Benny Rievers | Summary: All experiments to date are in remarkable agreement with the predictions of Einstein’s theory of gravity, General Relativity. Besides the classical tests, involving light deflection, orbit precession, signal delay, and the gravitational redshift, modern technology […]

Chasing the break: Tracing the full evolution of a black hole X-ray binary jet with multi-wavelength spectral modeling

Kavli Affiliate: Erin Kara | First 5 Authors: Constanza Echiburú-Trujillo, Alexandra J. Tetarenko, Daryl Haggard, Thomas D. Russell, Karri I. I. Koljonen | Summary: Black hole X-ray binaries (BH XRBs) are ideal targets to study the connection between accretion inflow and jet outflow. Here we present quasi-simultaneous, multi-wavelength observations of the Galactic black hole system […]

New limits on the local Lorentz invariance violation of gravity in the Standard-Model Extension with pulsars

Kavli Affiliate: Lijing Shao | First 5 Authors: Yiming Dong, Ziming Wang, Lijing Shao, , | Summary: Lorentz Invariance Violation (LIV) is posited as a possible relic effect of quantum gravity at low energy scales. The Standard-Model Extension provides an effective field-theoretic framework for examining possible deviations attributed to LIV. With the observations of the […]

New $μ$ Forces From $ν_μ$ Sources

Kavli Affiliate: Gordan Krnjaic | First 5 Authors: Cari Cesarotti, Yonatan Kahn, Gordan Krnjaic, Duncan Rocha, Joshua Spitz | Summary: Accelerator-based experiments reliant on charged pion and kaon decays to produce muon-neutrino beams also deliver an associated powerful flux of muons. Therefore, these experiments can additionally be sensitive to light new particles that preferentially couple […]

Direct Optimal Mapping Image Power Spectrum and its Window Functions

Kavli Affiliate: Jacqueline N. Hewitt | First 5 Authors: Zhilei Xu, Honggeun Kim, Jacqueline N. Hewitt, Kai-Feng Chen, Nicholas S. Kern | Summary: The key to detecting neutral hydrogen during the epoch of reionization (EoR) is to separate the cosmological signal from the dominating foreground radiation. We developed direct optimal mapping (Xu et al. 2022) […]
