Robust Field-level Likelihood-free Inference with Galaxies

Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: NatalĂ­ S. M. de Santi, Helen Shao, Francisco Villaescusa-Navarro, L. Raul Abramo, Romain Teyssier | Summary: We train graph neural networks to perform field-level likelihood-free inference using galaxy catalogs from state-of-the-art hydrodynamic simulations of the CAMELS project. Our models are rotational, translational, and permutation invariant and do […]

Primordial-tensor-induced stochastic gravitational waves

Kavli Affiliate: Misao Sasaki | First 5 Authors: Mohammad Ali Gorji, Misao Sasaki, , , | Summary: Cosmological stochastic gravitational waves (GWs) induced by a spectator field are usually expected to have an amplitude very small compared with those generated by the curvature perturbation, or equivalently by a field dominating the universe. On the contrary […]

DESI survey validation data in the COSMOS/HSC field: Cool gas trace main sequence star-forming galaxies at the cosmic noon

Kavli Affiliate: Linhua Jiang | First 5 Authors: Siwei Zou, Linhua Jiang, Zheng Cai, John Moustakas, Zechang Sun | Summary: We present the first result in exploring the gaseous halo and galaxy correlation using the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) survey validation data in the Cosmic Evolution Survey (COSMOS) and Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC) field. We […]

Quantum $z=2$ Lifshitz criticality in one-dimensional interacting fermions

Kavli Affiliate: Ke Wang | First 5 Authors: Ke Wang, , , , | Summary: We consider Lifshitz criticality (LC) with the dynamical critical exponent $z=2$ in one-dimensional interacting fermions with a filled Dirac Sea. We report that interactions have crucial effects on Lifshitz criticality. Single particle excitations are destabilized by interaction and decay into […]

Unusual Hard X-ray Flares Caught in NICER Monitoring of the Binary Supermassive Black Hole Candidate AT2019cuk/Tick Tock/SDSS J1430+2303

Kavli Affiliate: Ronald A. Remillard | First 5 Authors: Megan Masterson, Erin Kara, Dheeraj R. Pasham, Daniel J. D’Orazio, Dominic J. Walton | Summary: The nuclear transient AT2019cuk/Tick Tock/SDSS J1430+2303 has been suggested to harbor a supermassive black hole (SMBH) binary near coalescence. We report results from high-cadence NICER X-ray monitoring with multiple visits per […]

The interplay between accretion, galaxy downsizing and the formation of box/peanut bulges in TNG50

Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: Stuart Robert Anderson, Steven Gough-Kelly, Victor P. Debattista, Min Du, Peter Erwin | Summary: From the TNG50 cosmological simulation we build a sample of 191 well-resolved barred galaxies with a stellar mass $log M_star > 10$ at $z=0$. We search for box/peanut bulges (BPs) in this sample, […]

Wet Compaction to a Blue Nugget: a Critical Phase in Galaxy Evolution

Sharon Lapiner, Avishai Dekel, Jonathan Freundlich, Omri Ginzburg, Fangzhou Jiang | Summary: [[{“value”:”We utilize high-resolution cosmological simulations to reveal that high-redshift galaxies tend to undergo a robust `wet compaction’ event when near a `golden’ stellar mass of $sim 10^{10} M_{odot}$. This is a gaseous shrinkage to a compact star-forming phase, a `blue nugget’ (BN), followed […]
