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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Kavli Affiliate: Nobuhiko Katayama | First 5 Authors: Kenji Kiuchi, Shunsuke Adachi, Aamir M. Ali, Kam Arnold, Peter Ashton | Summary: The Simons Observatory (SO) is a cosmic microwave background (CMB) experiment from the Atacama Desert in Chile comprising three small-aperture telescopes (SATs) and one large-aperture telescope (LAT). In total, SO will field over 60,000 […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jeffrey McMahon | First 5 Authors: Giuseppe Cataldo, Peter Ade, Christopher Anderson, Alyssa Barlis, Emily Barrentine | Summary: The EXperiment for Cryogenic Large-Aperture Intensity Mapping (EXCLAIM) is a balloon-borne far-infrared telescope that will survey star formation history over cosmological time scales to improve our understanding of why the star formation rate declined at […]
Kavli Affiliate: Deepto Chakrabarty | First 5 Authors: Tolga Guver, Tugba Boztepe, Ersin Gogus, Manoneeta Chakraborty, Tod E. Strohmayer | Summary: We report the temporal and spectral analysis of three thermonuclear X-ray bursts from 4U 1608-52, observed by the Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER) during and just after the outburst observed from the source […]
