New constraint on the tensor-to-scalar ratio from the $Planck$ and BICEP/Keck Array data using the profile likelihood

Kavli Affiliate: Eiichiro Komatsu | First 5 Authors: Paolo Campeti, Eiichiro Komatsu, , , | Summary: We derive a new upper bound on the tensor-to-scalar ratio parameter $r$ using the frequentist profile likelihood method. We vary all the relevant cosmological parameters of the $Lambda$CDM model, as well as the nuisance parameters. Unlike the Bayesian analysis […]

The coupling of an EUV coronal wave and ion acceleration in a Fermi-LAT behind-the-limb solar flare

Kavli Affiliate: Nicola Omodei | First 5 Authors: Melissa Pesce-Rollins, Nicola Omodei, Sam Krucker, Niccol`o Di Lalla, Wen Wang | Summary: We present the Fermi-LAT observations of the behind-the-limb (BTL) flare of July 17, 2021 and the joint detection of this flare by STIX onboard Solar Orbiter. The separation between Earth and the Solar Orbiter […]

Forecasting ground-based sensitivity to the Rayleigh scattering of the CMB in the presence of astrophysical foregrounds

Kavli Affiliate: John E. Carlstrom, Bradford A. Benson | First 5 Authors: Karia R. Dibert, Adam J. Anderson, Amy N. Bender, Bradford A. Benson, Federico Bianchini | Summary: The Rayleigh scattering of cosmic microwave background (CMB) photons off the neutral hydrogen produced during recombination effectively creates an additional scattering surface after recombination that encodes new […]

Concordance between observations and simulations in the evolution of the mass relation between supermassive black holes and their host galaxies

Kavli Affiliate: John D. Silverman | First 5 Authors: Xuheng Ding, John D. Silverman, Tommaso Treu, Junyao Li, Aklant K. Bhowmick | Summary: We carry out a comparative analysis of the relation between the mass of supermassive black holes (BHs) and the stellar mass of their host galaxies at $0.2<z<1.7$ using well-matched observations and multiple […]

Insights into the origin of halo mass profiles from machine learning

Kavli Affiliate: Risa H. Wechsler | First 5 Authors: Luisa Lucie-Smith, Susmita Adhikari, Risa H. Wechsler, , | Summary: The mass distribution of dark matter haloes is the result of the hierarchical growth of initial density perturbations through mass accretion and mergers. We use an interpretable machine-learning framework to provide physical insights into the origin […]

A neural network model for timing control with reinforcement

Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Jing Wang, Yousuf El-Jayyousi, Ilker Ozden, , | Summary: How do humans and animals perform trial-and-error learning when the space of possibilities is infinite? In a previous study, we used an interval timing production task and discovered an updating strategy in which the agent adjusted the behavioral […]

On the faintest solar coronal hard X-rays observed with FOXSI

Kavli Affiliate: Tadayuki Takahashi | First 5 Authors: Juan Camilo Buitrago-Casas, Lindsay Glesener, Steven Christe, Säm Krucker, Juliana Vievering | Summary: Solar nanoflares are small eruptive events releasing magnetic energy in the quiet corona. If nanoflares follow the same physics as their larger counterparts, they should emit hard X-rays (HXRs) but with a rather faint […]
