Kavli Affiliate: Toshiya Namikawa | First 5 Authors: Toshiya Namikawa, Shun Saito, Atsushi Taruya, , | Summary: We discuss the synergy of the cosmic shear and CMB lensing experiments to simultaneously constrain the neutrino mass and dark energy properties. Taking fully account of the CMB lensing, cosmic shear, CMB anisotropies, and their cross correlation signals, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Tomasz Biesiadzinski | First 5 Authors: Michael Schubnell, Tomasz Biesiadzinski, Wolfgang Lorenzon, Robert Newman, Greg Tarle | Summary: Flux dependent non-linearity (reciprocity failure) in HgCdTe NIR detectors with 1.7 micron cut-off was investigated. A dedicated test station was designed and built to measure reciprocity failure over the full dynamic range of near infrared […]
Kavli Affiliate: Robert A. Cameron | First 5 Authors: Robert A. Cameron, , , , | Summary: We present the prospects for a future joint gamma-ray and radio survey of southern hemisphere sources using the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) and the upcoming Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP) radio telescope. ASKAP is a next […]
Kavli Affiliate: Tom Chang | First 5 Authors: Sunny W. Y. Tam, Tom Chang, Paul M. Kintner, Eric M. Klatt, | Summary: Rank-Ordered Multifractal Analysis (ROMA), a recently developed technique that combines the ideas of parametric rank ordering and one parameter scaling of monofractals, has the capabilities of deciphering the multifractal characteristics of intermittent fluctuations. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Catherine Grant | First 5 Authors: Eric D. Miller, Marshall Bautz, Catherine Grant, Ryan Hickox, Mark Brodwin | Summary: Galaxy groups are key tracers of galaxy evolution, cluster evolution, and structure formation, yet they are difficult to study at even moderate redshift. We have undertaken a project to observe a flux-limited sample of […]
Kavli Affiliate: Alan Levine | First 5 Authors: Martin Durant, Remon Cornelisse, Ron Remillard, Alan Levine, | Summary: Regular observations by the All Sky Monitor aboard the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer satellite have yielded well-sampled light-curves with a time baseline of over ten years. We find that up to eight of the sixteen brightest persistent […]
Kavli Affiliate: Ralf Heilmann | First 5 Authors: Herman L. Marshall, Ralf Heilmann, Norbert Schulz, Kendrah Murphy, | Summary: We developed an instrument design capable of measuring linear X-ray polarization over a broad-band using conventional spectroscopic optics. A set of multilayer-coated flats reflects the dispersed X-rays to the instrument detectors. The intensity variation with position […]
Kavli Affiliate: Tomiyoshi Haruyama | First 5 Authors: The J-Parc Ucn Taskforce, :, Tomokazu Aso, Masatoshi Futakawa, Tomiyoshi Haruyama | Summary: Discussions in the taskforce meetings in the period of Jan.-Mar. 2009 on the technical possibility of the ultracold neutron (UCN) source at the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC) is summarized. | Search Query: […]
Kavli Affiliate: Karen L. Byrum | First 5 Authors: Robert G. Wagner, Karen L. Byrum, Mayly Sanchez, Alexandre V. Vaniachine, Oswald Siegmund | Summary: We advocate support of research aimed at developing alternatives to the photomultiplier tube for photon detection in large astroparticle experiments such as gamma-ray and neutrino astronomy, and direct dark matter detectors. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Ralf Heilmann | First 5 Authors: Norbert S. Schulz, Glenn Allen, Mark W. Bautz, Claude C. Canizares, John Davis | Summary: Low-mass pre-main sequence (PMS) stars are strong and variable X-ray emitters, as has been well established by EINSTEIN and ROSAT observatories. It was originally believed that this emission was of thermal nature […]
