FastEMRIWaveforms: New tools for millihertz gravitational-wave data analysis

Kavli Affiliate: Scott A. Hughes | First 5 Authors: Michael L. Katz, Alvin J. K. Chua, Lorenzo Speri, Niels Warburton, Scott A. Hughes | Summary: We present the FastEMRIWaveforms (FEW) package, a collection of tools to build and analyze extreme mass ratio inspiral (EMRI) waveforms. Here, we expand on the Physical Review Letter that introduced […]

On the size distribution of spots within sunspot groups

Kavli Affiliate: Robert Cameron | First 5 Authors: Sudip Mandal, Natalie A. Krivova, Robert Cameron, Sami K. Solanki, | Summary: Size distribution of sunspots provides key information about the generation and emergence processes of the solar magnetic field. Previous studies on the size distribution have primarily focused on either the whole group or individual spot […]

Muon $g-2$ in Gauge Mediation without SUSY CP Problem

Kavli Affiliate: Satoshi Shirai | First 5 Authors: Masahiro Ibe, Shin Kobayashi, Yuhei Nakayama, Satoshi Shirai, | Summary: We discuss gauge mediated supersymmetry breaking models which explain the observed muon anomalous magnetic moment and the Higgs boson mass simultaneously. The successful explanation requires the messenger sector which violates the relation motivated by the grand unification […]

Warm Jupiters in TESS Full-Frame Images: A Catalog and Observed Eccentricity Distribution for Year 1

Kavli Affiliate: Edward H. Morgan | First 5 Authors: Jiayin Dong, Chelsea X. Huang, Rebekah I. Dawson, Daniel Foreman-Mackey, Karen A. Collins | Summary: Warm Jupiters — defined here as planets larger than 6 Earth radii with orbital periods of 8–200 days — are a key missing piece in our understanding of how planetary systems […]

EUSO-SPB2 sensitivity to macroscopic dark matter

Kavli Affiliate: Angela V. Olinto | First 5 Authors: Thomas C. Paul, Sarah T. Reese, Luis A. Anchordoqui, Angela V. Olinto, Thomas Y. Chen | Summary: Macroscopic dark matter (or macro) provides a broad class of alternative candidates to particle dark matter. These candidates would transfer energy primarily through elastic scattering, and this linear energy […]

A New Approach to Electroweak Symmetry Non-Restoration

Kavli Affiliate: Marcela Carena | First 5 Authors: Marcela Carena, Claudius Krause, Zhen Liu, Yikun Wang, | Summary: Electroweak symmetry non-restoration up to high temperatures well above the electroweak scale offers new alternatives for baryogenesis. We propose a new approach for electroweak symmetry non-restoration via an inert Higgs sector that couples to the Standard Model […]

Stellar Metallicities from SkyMapper Photometry II: Precise photometric metallicities of $sim$280,000 giant stars with [Fe/H] $< -0.75$ in the Milky Way

Kavli Affiliate: Anna Frebel | First 5 Authors: Anirudh Chiti, Anna Frebel, Mohammad K. Mardini, Tatsuya W. Daniel, Xiaowei Ou | Summary: The Milky Way’s metal-poor stars are nearby ancient objects that are used to study early chemical evolution and the assembly and structure of the Milky Way. Here we present reliable metallicities of $sim280,000$ […]
