Kavli Affiliate: Seth Digel | First 5 Authors: Michela Negro, Henrike Fleischhack, Andreas Zoglauer, Seth Digel, Marco Ajello | Summary: The Fermi Bubbles (FB) are a pair of large-scale ellipsoidal structures extending above and below the Galactic plane almost symmetrically aligned with the Galactic Center. After more than 10 years since their discovery, their nature […]
Kavli Affiliate: Hitoshi Murayama | First 5 Authors: Hitoshi Murayama, Bea Noether, Digvijay Roy Varier, , | Summary: We show that the edges of the conformal window of supersymmetric $SU(N_c)$ QCD, perturbed by Anomaly Mediated Supersymmetry Breaking (AMSB), break chiral symmetry. We do so by perturbatively expanding around Banks–Zaks fixed points and taking advantage of […]
Kavli Affiliate: Hitoshi Murayama | First 5 Authors: Dan Kondo, Hitoshi Murayama, Bea Noether, Digvijay Roy Varier, | Summary: We show that near the edges of the conformal window of supersymmetric $SU(N_c)$ QCD, perturbed by Anomaly Mediated Supersymmetry Breaking (AMSB), chiral symmetry can be broken depending on the initial conditions of the RG flow. We […]
Kavli Affiliate: Luis C. Ho | First 5 Authors: Zhifu Chen, Zhicheng He, Luis C. Ho, Qiusheng Gu, Tinggui Wang | Summary: Both theory and observations suggest that outflows driven by an active central supermassive black hole (SMBH) has a feedback effect on shaping the global properties of the host galaxy. However, whether feedback from […]
Kavli Affiliate: George Ricker | First 5 Authors: Rahul Jayaraman, Donald W. Kurtz, Gerald Handler, Saul Rappaport, George Ricker | Summary: We present two new rapidly oscillating Ap (roAp) stars, TIC 198781841 and TIC 229960986, discovered in TESS photometric data. The periodogram of TIC 198781841 has a large peak at 166.506 d$^{-1}$ (1.93 mHz), with […]
Kavli Affiliate: Steven Allen, Lindsey E. Bleem, Bradford Benson, Adam B. Mantz | First 5 Authors: Adam B. Mantz, Steven W. Allen, Rebecca E. A. Canning, Lucie Baumont, Bradford Benson | Summary: We present updated cosmological constraints from measurements of the gas mass fractions ($f_{gas}$) of massive, dynamically relaxed galaxy clusters. Our new data set […]
Kavli Affiliate: Michael D. Gladders | First 5 Authors: Gourav Khullar, Matthew B. Bayliss, Michael D. Gladders, Keunho J. Kim, Michael S Calzadilla | Summary: Using stellar population synthesis models to infer star formation histories (SFHs), we analyse photometry and spectroscopy of a large sample of quiescent galaxies which are members of Sunyaev-Zel’dovich (SZ)-selected galaxy […]
Kavli Affiliate: Paul L. Schechter | First 5 Authors: Graham P. Smith, Timo Anguita, Simon Birrer, Paul L. Schechter, Aprajita Verma | Summary: We present the Strong Lensing Science Collaboration’s (SLSC) recommended observing targets for the science verification and science validation phases of commissioning. Our recommendations have been developed in collaboration with the Dark Energy […]

Kavli Affiliate: Eiichiro Komatsu | First 5 Authors: Nicoletta Krachmalnicoff, Tomotake Matsumura, Elena de la Hoz, Soumen Basak, Alessandro Gruppuso | Summary: We present a demonstration of the in-flight polarization angle calibration for the JAXA/ISAS second strategic large class mission, LiteBIRD, and estimate its impact on the measurement of the tensor-to-scalar ratio parameter, r, using […]
