Gamma-ray emission from decays of boosted nuclei in proto-magnetar jets

Kavli Affiliate: Shunsaku Horiuchi | First 5 Authors: Sean Heston, Nick Ekanger, Shunsaku Horiuchi, , | Summary: We examine the detectability of $gamma$-ray emission originating from the radioactive decays of unstable nuclei that are synthesized in relativistic outflows launched in magneto-rotational core-collapse supernovae. The observed lines have enhanced energies due to the Lorentz boosted nuclei […]

Geometric Interpretations of the $k$-Nearest Neighbour Distributions

Kavli Affiliate: Tom Abel | First 5 Authors: Kwanit Gangopadhyay, Arka Banerjee, Tom Abel, , | Summary: The $k$-Nearest Neighbour Cumulative Distribution Functions are measures of clustering for discrete datasets that are fast and efficient to compute. They are significantly more informative than the 2-point correlation function. Their connection to $N$-point correlation functions, void probability […]

Shedding light on the star formation rate-halo accretion rate connection and halo quenching mechanism via DECODE, the Discrete statistical sEmi-empiriCal mODEl

Kavli Affiliate: Yingjie Peng | First 5 Authors: Hao Fu, Lumen Boco, Francesco Shankar, Andrea Lapi, Mohammadreza Ayromlou | Summary: Aims: The relative roles of the physical mechanisms involved in quenching galaxy star formation are still unclear. We tackle this fundamental problem with our cosmological semi-empirical model DECODE (Discrete statistical sEmi-empiriCal mODEl), designed to predict […]

Evolving dark energy models: Current and forecast constraints

Kavli Affiliate: Joshua A. Frieman | First 5 Authors: Anowar J. Shajib, Joshua A. Frieman, , , | Summary: Recent results from Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) and baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO), in combination with cosmic microwave background (CMB) measurements, have focused renewed attention on dark energy models with a time-varying equation-of-state parameter, $w(z)$. In […]

Nonrenormalization Theorem for ${cal N}=(4,4)$ Interface Entropy

Kavli Affiliate: Hirosi Ooguri | First 5 Authors: Andreas Karch, Hirosi Ooguri, Mianqi Wang, , | Summary: We derive a formula for the half-BPS interface entropy between any pair of ${cal N}=(4,4)$ theories on the same conformal manifold. This generalizes the diastasis formula derived in arXiv:1311.2202 for ${cal N}=(2,2)$ theories, which is restricted to the […]

Reconstructing the shape of the non-linear matter power spectrum using CMB lensing and cosmic shear

Kavli Affiliate: Blake Sherwin | First 5 Authors: Karen Perez Sarmiento, Alex Laguë, Mathew Madhavacheril, Bhuvnesh Jain, Blake Sherwin | Summary: We reconstruct the non-linear matter power spectrum $P(k)$ using a joint analysis of gravitational lensing of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) and lensing of galaxies. This reconstruction is motivated by the $S_8$ tension between […]

Impact of mass transfer on the orbital evolution of a white dwarf close to an intermediate-mass black hole

Kavli Affiliate: Xian Chen | First 5 Authors: Yang Yang, Jie Yang, Xian Chen, Zihan Zhang, | Summary: Extreme mass ratio inspiral (EMRI) systems composed of low-mass white dwarfs (WDs, $0.1 – 0.3$ $mathrm{M}_{odot } $) and intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs, $10^{3} – 10^{5}$ $mathrm{M}_{odot } $) are ideal objects for multi-messenger astronomy because they […]

The SUPERCOLD-CGM survey: II. [ion{C}{1}]$(1-0)$ emission and the physical conditions of cold gas in Enormous Ly$α$ nebulae at $z,sim,2$

Kavli Affiliate: Ran Wang | First 5 Authors: Jianan Li, Bjorn H. C. Emonts, Zheng Cai, Jianrui Li, Ran Wang | Summary: We report ALMA and ACA observations of atomic carbon ([ion{C}{1}]$(1-0)$) and dust continuum in 10 Enormous Ly$alpha$ Nebulae hosting ultra-luminous Type-I QSOs at $z=2.2-2.5$, as part of the SUrvey of Protocluster ELANe Revealing […]
