Field Level Neural Network Emulator for Cosmological N-body Simulations

Kavli Affiliate: David N. Spergel | First 5 Authors: Drew Jamieson, Yin Li, Renan Alves de Oliveira, Francisco Villaescusa-Navarro, Shirley Ho | Summary: We build a field level emulator for cosmic structure formation that is accurate in the nonlinear regime. Our emulator consists of two convolutional neural networks trained to output the nonlinear displacements and […]

Magellan/IMACS spectroscopy of Grus I: a low metallicity ultra-faint dwarf galaxy

Kavli Affiliate: Anna Frebel | First 5 Authors: Anirudh Chiti, Joshua D. Simon, Anna Frebel, Andrew B. Pace, Alexander P. Ji | Summary: We present a chemodynamical study of the Grus I ultra-faint dwarf galaxy (UFD) from medium-resolution ($Rsim11,000$) Magellan/IMACS spectra of its individual member stars. We identify eight confirmed members of Grus I, based […]

Simple lessons from complex learning: what a neural network model learns about cosmic structure formation

Kavli Affiliate: David N. Spergel | First 5 Authors: Drew Jamieson, Yin Li, Siyu He, Francisco Villaescusa-Navarro, Shirley Ho | Summary: We train a neural network model to predict the full phase space evolution of cosmological N-body simulations. Its success implies that the neural network model is accurately approximating the Green’s function expansion that relates […]

The stellar halo in Local Group Hestia simulations II. The accreted component

Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: Sergey Khoperskov, Ivan Minchev, Noam Libeskind, Misha Haywood, Paola Di Matteo | Summary: In the Milky Way, recent progress in the exploration of its assembly history is driven by the tremendous amount of high-quality data delivered by Gaia, which has revealed a number of substructures potentially linked […]

The stellar halo in Local Group Hestia simulations I. The in-situ component and the effect of mergers

Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: Sergey Khoperskov, Ivan Minchev, Noam Libeskind, Misha Haywood, Paola Di Matteo | Summary: Theory suggests that mergers play an important role in shaping galactic disks and stellar haloes, which was observationally confirmed in the MW thanks to the Gaia data. In this work, aiming to probe the […]

Cosmological Magnetic Fields from Primordial Kerr-Newman Black Holes

Kavli Affiliate: Gordan Krnjaic | First 5 Authors: Dan Hooper, Aurora Ireland, Gordan Krnjaic, , | Summary: The origin of our universe’s cosmological magnetic fields remains a mystery. In this study, we consider whether these magnetic fields could have been generated in the early universe by a population of charged, spinning primordial black holes. To […]

TESS Shines Light on the Origin of the Ambiguous Nuclear Transient ASASSN-18el

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Fausnaugh | First 5 Authors: Jason T. Hinkle, Christopher S. Kochanek, Benjamin J. Shappee, Patrick J. Vallely, Katie Auchettl | Summary: We analyze high-cadence data from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) of the ambiguous nuclear transient (ANT) ASASSN-18el. The optical changing-look phenomenon in ASASSN-18el has been argued to be due to […]
