Nested solitons in two-field fuzzy dark matter

Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: Hoang Nhan Luu, Philip Mocz, Mark Vogelsberger, Simon May, Josh Borrow | Summary: Dark matter as scalar particles consisting of multiple species is well motivated in string theory where axion fields are ubiquitous. A two-field fuzzy dark matter (FDM) model features two species of ultralight axion particles […]

Amalgame: Cosmological Constraints from the First Combined Photometric Supernova Sample

Kavli Affiliate: Richard Kessler | First 5 Authors: Brodie Popovic, Daniel Scolnic, Maria Vincenzi, Mark Sullivan, Dillon Brout | Summary: Future constraints of cosmological parameters from Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) will depend on the use of photometric samples, those samples without spectroscopic measurements of the SNe Ia. There is a growing number of analyses […]

Progress in Direct Measurements of the Hubble Constant

Kavli Affiliate: Wendy L. Freedman | First 5 Authors: Wendy L. Freedman, Barry F. Madore, , , | Summary: One of the most exciting and pressing issues in cosmology today is the discrepancy between some measurements of the local Hubble constant and other values of the expansion rate inferred from the cosmic microwave background (CMB) […]

On the Comparison of AGN with GRMHD Simulations: II. M87

Kavli Affiliate: Roger Blandford | First 5 Authors: Richard Anantua, Angelo Ricarte, George Wong, Razieh Emami, Roger Blandford | Summary: Horizon-scale observations of the jetted active galactic nucleus M87 are compared with simulations spanning a broad range of dissipation mechanisms and plasma content in three-dimensional general relativistic flows around spinning black holes. Observations of synchrotron […]

Line profile of nuclear de-excitation gamma-ray emission from very hot plasma

Kavli Affiliate: Tadayuki Takahashi | First 5 Authors: Hiroki Yoneda, Felix Aharonian, Paolo Coppi, Thomas Siegert, Tadayuki Takahashi | Summary: De-excitation gamma-ray lines, produced by nuclei colliding with protons, provide information about astrophysical environments where particles have kinetic energies of $10-100$ MeV per nucleon. In general, such environments can be categorized into two types: the […]

Ambiguity, Invisibility, and Negativity

Kavli Affiliate: Frank Wilczek | First 5 Authors: Frank Wilczek, , , , | Summary: Many widely different problems have a common mathematical structure wherein limited knowledge lead to ambiguity that can be captured conveniently using a concept of invisibility that requires the introduction of negative values for quantities that are inherently positive. Here I […]
