A Taxonomy for the Configurations of Quadruply Lensed Quasars

Kavli Affiliate: Paul L. Schechter | First 5 Authors: Paul L. Schechter, , , , | Summary: A simple, novice-friendly scheme for classifying the image configurations of quadruply lensed quasars is proposed. With only six classes, it is intentionally coarse-grained. It focuses on the kitelikeness and circularity of these configurations, or the absence thereof. Other […]

The Astrophysical Distance Scale: V. A 2% Distance to the Local Group Spiral M33 via the JAGB Method, Tip of the Red Giant Branch, and Leavitt Law

Kavli Affiliate: Wendy L. Freedman | First 5 Authors: Abigail J. Lee, Laurie Rousseau-Nepton, Wendy L. Freedman, Barry F. Madore, Maria-Rosa L. Cioni | Summary: The J-region asymptotic giant branch (JAGB) method is a new standard candle that is based on the stable intrinsic J-band magnitude of color-selected carbon stars, and has a precision comparable […]

Split personalities in Bayesian Neural Networks: the case for full marginalisation

Kavli Affiliate: Anthony Lasenby | First 5 Authors: David Yallup, Will Handley, Mike Hobson, Anthony Lasenby, Pablo Lemos | Summary: The true posterior distribution of a Bayesian neural network is massively multimodal. Whilst most of these modes are functionally equivalent, we demonstrate that there remains a level of real multimodality that manifests in even the […]

The Ages of Optically Bright Sub-Clusters in the Serpens Star-Forming Region

Kavli Affiliate: Gregory J. Herczeg | First 5 Authors: Xingyu Zhou, Gregory J. Herczeg, Yao Liu, Min Fang, Michael Kuhn | Summary: The Serpens Molecular Cloud is one of the most active star-forming regions within 500 pc, with over one thousand of YSOs at different evolutionary stages. The ages of the member stars inform us […]

High-precision temperature monitoring system for room-temperature equipment in astrophysical observations

Kavli Affiliate: Nobuhiko Katayama | First 5 Authors: Daiki Tanabe, Masaya Hasegawa, Masashi Hazumi, Nobuhiko Katayama, Shuhei Kikuchi | Summary: We present a precise thermometry system to monitor room-temperature components of a telescope for radio-astronomy such as cosmic microwave background (CMB) observation. The system realizes precision of 1 mK${rm sqrt{s}}$ on a timescale of 20 […]
