Minkowski functionals and the nonlinear perturbation theory in the large-scale structure: second-order effects

Kavli Affiliate: Chiaki Hikage | First 5 Authors: Takahiko Matsubara, Chiaki Hikage, Satoshi Kuriki, , | Summary: The second-order formula of Minkowski functionals in weakly non-Gaussian fields is compared with the numerical $N$-body simulations. Recently, weakly non-Gaussian formula of Minkowski functionals is extended to include the second-order effects of non-Gaussianity in general dimensions. We apply […]

Constraints on the rate of supernovae lasting for more than a year from Subaru/Hyper Suprime-Cam

Kavli Affiliate: Naoki Yasuda | First 5 Authors: Takashi J. Moriya, Ji-an Jiang, Naoki Yasuda, Mitsuru Kokubo, Kojiro Kawana | Summary: Some supernovae such as pair-instability supernovae are predicted to have the duration of more than a year in the observer frame. To constrain the rates of supernovae lasting for more than a year, we […]

A Comprehensive X-ray Report on AT2019wey

Kavli Affiliate: Ronald A. Remillard | First 5 Authors: Yuhan Yao, S. R. Kulkarni, K. C. Gendreau, Gaurava K. Jaisawal, Teruaki Enoto | Summary: Here, we present MAXI, SWIFT, NICER, NuSTAR and Chandra observations of the X-ray transient AT2019wey (SRGA J043520.9+552226, SRGE J043523.3+552234). From spectral and timing analyses we classify it as a Galactic low-mass […]

Large-Scale Gravitational Lens Modeling with Bayesian Neural Networks for Accurate and Precise Inference of the Hubble Constant

Kavli Affiliate: Philip J. Marshall | First 5 Authors: Ji Won Park, Sebastian Wagner-Carena, Simon Birrer, Philip J. Marshall, Joshua Yao-Yu Lin | Summary: We investigate the use of approximate Bayesian neural networks (BNNs) in modeling hundreds of time-delay gravitational lenses for Hubble constant ($H_0$) determination. Our BNN was trained on synthetic HST-quality images of […]
