Delensing the CMB with the cosmic infrared background: the impact of foregrounds

Kavli Affiliate: Anthony Challinor | First 5 Authors: Antón Baleato Lizancos, Anthony Challinor, Blake D. Sherwin, Toshiya Namikawa, | Summary: The most promising avenue for detecting primordial gravitational waves from cosmic inflation is through measurements of degree-scale CMB $B$-mode polarisation. This approach must face the challenge posed by gravitational lensing of the CMB, which obscures […]

Constraining reionization with the first measurement of the cross-correlation between the CMB optical-depth fluctuations and the Compton y-map

Kavli Affiliate: Toshiya Namikawa | First 5 Authors: Toshiya Namikawa, Anirban Roy, Blake D. Sherwin, Nicholas Battaglia, David N. Spergel | Summary: We propose a new reionization probe that uses cosmic microwave background (CMB) observations; the cross-correlation between fluctuations in the CMB optical depth which probes the integrated electron density, $deltatau$, and the Compton $y$-map […]

A numerical study of observational systematic errors in lensing analysis of CMB polarization

Kavli Affiliate: Toshiya Namikawa | First 5 Authors: Ryo Nagata, Toshiya Namikawa, , , | Summary: Impacts of observational systematic errors on the lensing analysis of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarization are investigated by numerical simulations. We model errors of gain, angle, and pointing in observation of the CMB polarization and simulate polarization fields […]

R-process-rich stellar streams in the Milky Way

Kavli Affiliate: Anna Frebel | First 5 Authors: Maude Gull, Anna Frebel, Karina Hinojosa, Ian U. Roederer, Alexander P. Ji | Summary: We present high-resolution Magellan/MIKE spectra of 22 bright ($9<V<13.5$) metal-poor stars ($-3.18<mbox{[Fe/H]}<-1.37$) in three different stellar streams, the Helmi debris stream, the Helmi trail stream, and the $omega$ Centauri progenitor stream. We augment […]

Evidence for a high-energy tail in the gamma-ray spectra of globular clusters

Kavli Affiliate: Shunsaku Horiuchi | First 5 Authors: Deheng Song, Oscar Macias, Shunsaku Horiuchi, Roland M. Crocker, David M. Nataf | Summary: Millisecond pulsars are very likely the main source of gamma-ray emission from globular clusters. However, the relative contributions of two separate emission processes–curvature radiation from millisecond pulsar magnetospheres vs. inverse Compton emission from […]

Hamiltonian Gotay-Nester-Hinds analysis of the parametrized unimodular extension of the Holst action

Kavli Affiliate: J. S. Villasenor | First 5 Authors: J. Fernando Barbero G., Bogar Díaz, Juan Margalef-Bentabol, Eduardo J. S. Villaseñor, | Summary: We give a detailed account of the Hamiltonian GNH analysis of the parametrized unimodular extension of the Holst action. The purpose of the paper is to derive, through the clear geometric picture […]

The MUSE Hubble Ultra Deep Field Survey XVI. The angular momentum of low-mass star-forming galaxies. A cautionary tale and insights from TNG50

Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: Nicolas F. Bouché, Shy Genel, Alisson Pellissier, Cédric Dubois, Thierry Contini | Summary: We investigate the specific angular momentum (sAM) $ j(<r)$ profiles of intermediate redshift ($0.4<z<1.4$) star-forming galaxies (SFGs) in the relatively unexplored regime of low masses (down to $M_starsim 10^8$M$_{odot}$), and small sizes (down to […]
