Kavli Affiliate: Eric D. Miller | First 5 Authors: Trisha F. Doyle, Matthew P. Holland, Robert S. Hill, Tahir Yaqoob, Mike Loewenstein | Summary: XRISM (X-Ray Imaging and Spectroscopy Mission), with the Resolve high-resolution spectrometer and the Xtend wide-field imager on-board, is designed to build on the successes of the abbreviated Hitomi mission to address […]
Kavli Affiliate: Richard Kessler | First 5 Authors: Ayan Mitra, Richard Kessler, Surhud More, Renee Hlozek, | Summary: We perform a rigorous cosmology analysis on simulated type Ia supernovae (SN~Ia) and evaluate the improvement from including photometric host-galaxy redshifts compared to using only the "zspec" subset with spectroscopic redshifts from the host or SN. We […]

Kavli Affiliate: Ke Wang | First 5 Authors: Praveen Ravirathinam, Rahul Ghosh, Ke Wang, Keyang Xuan, Ankush Khandelwal | Summary: Creating separable representations via representation learning and clustering is critical in analyzing large unstructured datasets with only a few labels. Separable representations can lead to supervised models with better classification capabilities and additionally aid in […]
Kavli Affiliate: Luis C. Ho | First 5 Authors: Anuvab Banerjee, Vibhore Negi, Ravi Joshi, Nagendra Kumar, Paul J. Wiita | Summary: We investigate the possible presence of quasi-periodic oscillation (QPO) signals in 2103 blazars from the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) time-domain survey. We detect a low-frequency QPO signal in five blazars observed over these […]
Kavli Affiliate: Claudio Ricci | First 5 Authors: Grisha Zeltyn, Benny Trakhtenbrot, Michael Eracleous, Jessie Runnoe, Jonathan R. Trump | Summary: We report the discovery of a new `changing-look’ active galactic nucleus (CLAGN) event, in the quasar SDSS J162829.17+432948.5 at z=0.2603, identified through repeat spectroscopy from the fifth Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS-V). Optical photometry […]
Kavli Affiliate: Robert Cameron | First 5 Authors: Akash Biswas, Bidya Binay Karak, Robert Cameron, , | Summary: A striking feature of the solar cycle is that at the beginning, sunspots appear around mid-latitudes, and over time the latitudes of emergences migrate towards the equator.The maximum level of activity (e.g., sunspot number) varies from cycle […]
Kavli Affiliate: Misao Sasaki | First 5 Authors: Misao Sasaki, Valeri Vardanyan, Vicharit Yingcharoenrat, , | Summary: We propose a novel mechanism for significantly enhancing the amplitude of primordial electromagnetic fields during inflation. Similar to existing proposals, our idea is based on parametric resonance effects due to conformal-symmetry-breaking coupling of the gauge field and the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Gordan Krnjaic | First 5 Authors: Gordan Krnjaic, Duncan Rocha, Anastasia Sokolenko, , | Summary: We study a simple model of vector dark matter that couples to Standard Model particles via magnetic dipole interactions. In this scenario, the cosmological abundance arises through the freeze-in mechanism and depends on the dipole coupling, the vector […]
Kavli Affiliate: C. M. Ignarra | First 5 Authors: LUX Collaboration, D. S. Akerib, S. Alsum, H. M. Araújo, X. Bai | Summary: Dual-phase xenon time projection chamber (TPC) detectors have demonstrated superior search sensitivities to dark matter over a wide range of particle masses. To extend their sensitivity to include low-mass dark matter interactions, […]
