Kavli Affiliate: Lindsey E. Bleem | First 5 Authors: Ezra Sukay, Gourav Khullar, Michael D. Gladders, Keren Sharon, Guillaume Mahler | Summary: We present COOL J1323+0343, an early-type galaxy at $z = 1.0153 pm 0.0006$, strongly lensed by a cluster of galaxies at z = $z = 0.353 pm 0.001$. This object was originally imaged […]
Kavli Affiliate: Brian D. Nord | First 5 Authors: Apriel K Hodari, Shayna B Krammes, Chanda Prescod-Weinstein, Brian D Nord, Jessica N Esquivel | Summary: The Community Engagement Frontier presents this set of three white papers, as part of Snowmass 2021. These papers address critical issues — Power Dynamics in Physics, Informal Socialization in Physics […]
Kavli Affiliate: Brian D. Nord | First 5 Authors: Apriel K Hodari, Shayna B Krammes, Chanda Prescod-Weinstein, Brian D Nord, Jessica N Esquivel | Summary: This paper addresses issues related to the process of informal socialization into physics, particularly for senior graduate students and postdoctoral scholars. Many physicists’ careers are built on the relationships they […]
Kavli Affiliate: Brian D. Nord | First 5 Authors: Apriel K Hodari, Shayna B Krammes, Chanda Prescod-Weinstein, Brian D Nord, Jessica N Esquivel | Summary: The purpose of this white paper is to describe how unfair power dynamics related to various aspects of identity — race, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, and ability status […]
Kavli Affiliate: Brian D. Nord | First 5 Authors: Apriel K Hodari, Shayna B Krammes, Chanda Prescod-Weinstein, Brian D Nord, Jessica N Esquivel | Summary: The purpose of this white paper is to lay out the impacts of policing and gatekeeping in STEM, illustrated with lived experiences of scientists of color who are achieving despite […]
Kavli Affiliate: Hu Zhan | First 5 Authors: Hengjie Lin, Yan Gong, Xuelei Chen, Kwan Chuen Chan, Zuhui Fan | Summary: China Space Station Telescope (CSST) is a forthcoming powerful Stage IV space-based optical survey equipment. It is expected to explore a number of important cosmological problems in extremely high precision. In this work, we […]

Kavli Affiliate: Giorgio Gratta | First 5 Authors: Charles P. Blakemore, Denzal Martin, Alexander Fieguth, Nadav Priel, Gautam Venugopalan | Summary: Librational motion, whereby a rigid body undergoes angular oscillation around a preferred direction, can be observed in optically trapped, silica microspheres. We demonstrate the cooling of one librational degree of freedom for $sim 5~mu$m […]

Kavli Affiliate: Gregory J. Herczeg | First 5 Authors: William J. Fischer, Lynne A. Hillenbrand, Gregory J. Herczeg, Doug Johnstone, Ágnes Kóspál | Summary: Variable accretion in young stellar objects reveals itself photometrically and spectroscopically over a continuum of timescales and amplitudes. Most dramatic are the large outbursts (e.g., FU Ori, V1647 Ori, and EX […]
