Kavli Affiliate: Michael S. Turner | First 5 Authors: Michael S. Turner, , , , | Summary: The past 50 years has seen cosmology go from a field known for the errors being in the exponents to precision science. The transformation, powered by ideas, technology, a paradigm shift and culture change, has revolutionized our understanding […]
Kavli Affiliate: Daniel E. Holz | First 5 Authors: Mesut Çalışkan, Jose María Ezquiaga, Otto A. Hannuksela, Daniel E. Holz, | Summary: Strong gravitational lensing of gravitational waves (GWs) has been forecasted to become detectable in the upcoming observing runs. However, definitively distinguishing pairs of lensed sources from random associations is a challenging problem. We […]
Kavli Affiliate: Emil J. Martinec | First 5 Authors: Emil J. Martinec, , , , | Summary: $AdS_3$ string theory in the stringy regime $k=(R_{AdS}/ell_{str})^2 < 1$ provides a laboratory for the study of holography in which both sides of AdS/CFT duality are under fairly good control. Worldsheet string theory is solvable, and for closed […]
Kavli Affiliate: George R. Ricker | First 5 Authors: Paul A. Dalba, Stephen R. Kane, Diana Dragomir, Steven Villanueva Jr., Karen A. Collins | Summary: We report the discovery of TOI-2180 b, a 2.8 $M_{rm J}$ giant planet orbiting a slightly evolved G5 host star. This planet transited only once in Cycle 2 of the […]
Kavli Affiliate: David N. Spergel | First 5 Authors: Andrina Nicola, Francisco Villaescusa-Navarro, David N. Spergel, Jo Dunkley, Daniel Anglés-Alcázar | Summary: Uncertain feedback processes in galaxies affect the distribution of matter, currently limiting the power of weak lensing surveys. If we can identify cosmological statistics that are robust against these uncertainties, or constrain these […]
Kavli Affiliate: Alan M. Levine | First 5 Authors: Samuel K. Grunblatt, Nicholas Saunders, Meng Sun, Ashley Chontos, Melinda Soares-Furtado | Summary: Giant planets on short-period orbits are predicted to be inflated and eventually engulfed by their host stars. However, the detailed timescales and stages of these processes are not well known. Here we present […]
Kavli Affiliate: Lijing Shao | First 5 Authors: Junjie Zhao, Paulo C. C. Freire, Michael Kramer, Lijing Shao, Norbert Wex | Summary: Benefitting from the unequaled precision of the pulsar timing technique, binary pulsars are important testbeds of gravity theories, providing some of the tightest bounds on alternative theories of gravity. One class of well-motivated […]
Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: William M. Baker, Roberto Maiolino, Asa F. L. Bluck, Lihwai Lin, Sara L. Ellison | Summary: We investigate the nature of the scaling relations between the surface density of star formation rate ($Sigma _{rm SFR}$), stellar mass ($Sigma _*$), and molecular gas mass ($Sigma _{rm H_2}$), aiming […]
Kavli Affiliate: Shunsaku Horiuchi | First 5 Authors: Nick Ekanger, Mukul Bhattacharya, Shunsaku Horiuchi, , | Summary: We study the nucleosynthesis products in neutrino-driven winds from rapidly rotating, highly magnetised and misaligned protomagnetars using the nuclear reaction network SkyNet. We adopt a semi-analytic parameterized model for the protomagnetar and systematically study the capabilities of its […]
