Probing Relativistic Axions from Transient Astrophysical Sources

Kavli Affiliate: Yevgeny V. Stadnik | First 5 Authors: Joshua Eby, Satoshi Shirai, Yevgeny V. Stadnik, Volodymyr Takhistov, | Summary: Axions constituting dark matter (DM) are often considered to form a non-relativistic oscillating field. We explore bursts of relativistic axions from transient astrophysical sources, such as axion star explosions, where the sources are initially non-relativistic. […]

Probing Relativistic Axions from Transient Astrophysical Sources

Kavli Affiliate: Yevgeny V. Stadnik | First 5 Authors: Joshua Eby, Satoshi Shirai, Yevgeny V. Stadnik, Volodymyr Takhistov, | Summary: Emission of relativistic axions from transient sources, such as axion star explosions, can lead to observable signatures. We show that axion bursts from collapsing axion stars can be detectable over the wide range of axion […]

The Simons Observatory microwave SQUID multiplexing detector module design

Kavli Affiliate: Jeffrey J. McMahon | First 5 Authors: Heather McCarrick, Erin Healy, Zeeshan Ahmed, Kam Arnold, Zachary Atkins | Summary: Advances in cosmic microwave background (CMB) science depend on increasing the number of sensitive detectors observing the sky. New instruments deploy large arrays of superconducting transition-edge sensor (TES) bolometers tiled densely into ever larger […]

The eROSITA Final Equatorial-Depth Survey (eFEDS): A multiwavelength view of WISE mid-infrared galaxies/active galactic nuclei

Kavli Affiliate: John D. Silverman | First 5 Authors: Yoshiki Toba, Teng Liu, Tanya Urrutia, Mara Salvato, Junyao Li | Summary: We investigate the physical properties–such as the stellar mass, SFR, IR luminosity, X-ray luminosity, and hydrogen column density–of MIR galaxies and AGN at $z < 4$ in the 140 deg$^2$ field observed by SRG/eROSITA […]

Shot noise and scatter in the star formation efficiency as a source of 21-cm fluctuations

Kavli Affiliate: George Efstathiou | First 5 Authors: Itamar Reis, Rennan Barkana, Anastasia Fialkov, , | Summary: The 21-cm signal from cosmic dawn and the epoch of reionization (EoR) probes the characteristics of the high redshift galaxy population. Many of the astrophysical properties of galaxies at high redshifts are currently unconstrained due to the lack […]

AGB interlopers in YSO catalogues hunted out by NEOWISE

Kavli Affiliate: Gregory Herczeg | First 5 Authors: Jeong-Eun Lee, Sieun Lee, Seonjae Lee, Kyung-Won Suh, Se-Hyung Cho | Summary: AGBs and YSOs often share the same domains in IR color-magnitude or color-color diagrams leading to potential mis-classification. We extracted a list of AGB interlopers from the published YSO catalogues using the periodogram analysis on […]

Expediting DECam Multimessenger Counterpart Searches with Convolutional Neural Networks

Kavli Affiliate: Brian Nord | First 5 Authors: Adam Shandonay, Robert Morgan, Keith Bechtol, Clecio R. Bom, Brian Nord | Summary: Searches for counterparts to multimessenger events with optical imagers use difference imaging to detect new transient sources. However, even with existing artifact detection algorithms, this process simultaneously returns several classes of false positives: false […]

The Design and Integrated Performance of SPT-3G

Kavli Affiliate: C. L. Kuo | First 5 Authors: J. A. Sobrin, A. J. Anderson, A. N. Bender, B. A. Benson, D. Dutcher | Summary: SPT-3G is the third survey receiver operating on the South Pole Telescope dedicated to high-resolution observations of the cosmic microwave background (CMB). Sensitive measurements of the temperature and polarization anisotropies […]

Benign Overfitting in Multiclass Classification: All Roads Lead to Interpolation

Kavli Affiliate: Ke Wang | First 5 Authors: Ke Wang, Vidya Muthukumar, Christos Thrampoulidis, , | Summary: The literature on "benign overfitting" in overparameterized models has been mostly restricted to regression or binary classification; however, modern machine learning operates in the multiclass setting. Motivated by this discrepancy, we study benign overfitting in multiclass linear classification. […]

Demonstration of Confinement and Chiral Symmetry Breaking in $SO(N_c)$ Gauge Theories

Kavli Affiliate: Hitoshi Murayama | First 5 Authors: Csaba Csáki, Andrew Gomes, Hitoshi Murayama, Ofri Telem, | Summary: We demonstrate that $SO(N_{c})$ gauge theories with matter fields in the vector representation confine due to monopole condensation and break the $SU(N_{F})$ chiral symmetry to $SO(N_{F})$ via the quark bilinear. Our results are obtained by perturbing the […]
