Kavli Affiliate: Kaisey Mandel | First 5 Authors: Patrick L. Kelly, Steven Rodney, Tommaso Treu, Masamune Oguri, Wenlei Chen | Summary: The gravitationally lensed Supernova Refsdal appeared in multiple images, produced through gravitational lensing by a massive foreground galaxy cluster. After the supernova appeared in 2014, lens models of the galaxy cluster predicted an additional […]

Kavli Affiliate: Gordan Krnjaic | First 5 Authors: Ian Holst, Dan Hooper, Gordan Krnjaic, Deheng Song, | Summary: We propose that the dark matter of our Universe could be sterile neutrinos which reside within the twin sector of a mirror twin Higgs model. In our scenario, these particles are produced through a version of the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Christopher J. Burke | First 5 Authors: Georgina Dransfield, Mathilde Timmermans, Amaury H. M. J. Triaud, Martín Dévora-Pajares, Christian Aganze | Summary: A new generation of observatories is enabling detailed study of exoplanetary atmospheres and the diversity of alien climates, allowing us to seek evidence for extraterrestrial biological and geological processes. Now is […]
Kavli Affiliate: Yuji Tachikawa | First 5 Authors: Yuji Tachikawa, Mayuko Yamashita, , , | Summary: Inspired by consideration in heterotic string theory, we construct a morphism of spectra from $mathrm{KO}((q))/mathrm{TMF}$ to $Sigma^{-20}I_{mathbb{Z}} mathrm{TMF}$, which we show to be an isomorphism and to implement the Anderson self-duality of $mathrm{TMF}$. We will use this to factor […]

This morphism is then used to define another morphism from $mathrm{TMF}$ to $Sigma^{-20}I_{mathbb{Z}}(mathrm{MSpin}/mathrm{MString})$, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Wendy L. Freedman | First 5 Authors: Barry F. Madore, Wendy L. Freedman Kayla A. Owens, In Sung Jang, , | Summary: We present an extensive grid of numerical simulations quantifying the uncertainties in measurements of the Tip of the Red Giant Branch (TRGB). These simulations incorporate a luminosity function composed of 2 […]
Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: Xuejian Shen, Mark Vogelsberger, Michael Boylan-Kolchin, Sandro Tacchella, Rahul Kannan | Summary: JWST observations have revealed a population of galaxies bright enough that potentially challenge standard galaxy formation models in the $Lambda$CDM cosmology. Using a minimal empirical framework, we investigate the influence of variability on the rest-frame […]
