Kavli Affiliate: Herman L. Marshall | First 5 Authors: Martin C. Weisskopf, Paolo Soffitta, Luca Baldini, Brian D. Ramsey, Stephen L. O’Dell | Summary: Scheduled to launch in late 2021, the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) is a NASA Small Explorer Mission in collaboration with the Italian Space Agency (ASI). The mission will open a […]
Kavli Affiliate: Donald G. York | First 5 Authors: Varsha P. Kulkarni, David V. Bowen, Lorrie A. Straka, Donald G. York, Neeraj Gupta | Summary: We report {it HST} COS spectroscopy of 10 quasars with foreground star-forming galaxies at 0.02$<$$z$$<$ 0.14 within impact parameters of $sim$1-7 kpc. We detect damped/sub-damped Ly$alpha$ absorption in 100$%$ of […]
Kavli Affiliate: C. L. Kuo | First 5 Authors: J. P. Filippini, A. E. Gambrel, A. S. Rahlin, E. Y. Young, P. A. R. Ade | Summary: Experiments deploying large arrays of transition-edge sensors (TESs) often require a robust method to monitor gain variations with minimal loss of observing time. We propose a sensitive and […]
Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: Sylvain Veilleux, David S. N. Rupke, Weizhe Liu, Anthony To, Margaret Trippe | Summary: This program is part of QUEST (Quasar/ULIRG Evolutionary Study) and seeks to examine the gaseous environments of z < 0.3 quasars and ULIRGs as a function of host galaxy properties and age across […]
Kavli Affiliate: Toshiyuki Kobayashi | First 5 Authors: Toshiyuki Kobayashi, , , , | Summary: How does an irreducible representation of a group behave when restricted to a subgroup? This is part of branching problems, which are one of the fundamental problems in representation theory, and also interact naturally with other fields of mathematics. This […]

Kavli Affiliate: Avi Shporer | First 5 Authors: Robert A. Wittenmyer, Jake T. Clark, Trifon Trifonov, Brett C. Addison, Duncan J. Wright | Summary: The imminent launch of space telescopes designed to probe the atmospheres of exoplanets has prompted new efforts to prioritise the thousands of transiting planet candidates for follow-up characterisation. We report the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Sara Seager | First 5 Authors: William Bains, Oliver Shorttle, Sukrit Ranjan, Paul B. Rimmer, Janusz J. Petkowski | Summary: The initial reports of the presence of phosphine in the cloud decks of Venus has led to the suggestion that volcanism was the source of phosphine, through volcanic phosphides ejected into the clouds. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: Sandro Tacchella, Aaron Smith, Rahul Kannan, Federico Marinacci, Lars Hernquist | Summary: The nebular recombination line H$alpha$ is widely used as a star-formation rate (SFR) indicator in the local and high-redshift Universe. We present a detailed H$alpha$ radiative transfer study of high-resolution isolated Milky-Way and Large Magellanic […]
Kavli Affiliate: Risa H. Wechsler | First 5 Authors: Nickolas Kokron, Joseph DeRose, Shi-Fan Chen, Martin White, Risa H. Wechsler | Summary: We investigate the stochastic properties of typical red galaxy samples in a controlled numerical environment. We use Halo Occupation Distribution (HOD) modelling to create mock realizations of three separate bright red galaxy samples […]
