Kavli Affiliate: John E. Carlstrom | First 5 Authors: Eric J. Baxter, Chihway Chang, Andrew Hearin, Jonathan Blazek, Lindsey E. Bleem | Summary: Cosmological data in the next decade will be characterized by high-precision, multi-wavelength measurements of thousands of square degrees of the same patches of sky. By performing multi-survey analyses that harness the correlated […]
Kavli Affiliate: Edward Kolb | First 5 Authors: Daniel Carney, Nirmal Raj, Yang Bai, Joshua Berger, Carlos Blanco | Summary: We outline the unique opportunities and challenges in the search for "ultraheavy" dark matter candidates with masses between roughly $10~{rm TeV}$ and the Planck scale $m_{rm pl} approx 10^{16}~{rm TeV}$. This mass range presents a […]
Kavli Affiliate: Daniel E. Holz | First 5 Authors: Emanuele Berti, Vitor Cardoso, Zoltán Haiman, Daniel E. Holz, Emil Mottola | Summary: Gravitational wave detectors are formidable tools to explore strong-field gravity, especially black holes and neutron stars. These compact objects are extraordinarily efficient at producing electromagnetic and gravitational radiation. As such, they are ideal […]

Kavli Affiliate: Xian Chen | First 5 Authors: Pau Amaro Seoane, Jeff Andrews, Manuel Arca Sedda, Abbas Askar, Quentin Baghi | Summary: The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) will be a transformative experiment for gravitational wave astronomy, and, as such, it will offer unique opportunities to address many key astrophysical questions in a completely novel […]
Kavli Affiliate: Risa H. Wechsler | First 5 Authors: Chun-Hao To, Eduardo Rozo, Elisabeth Krause, Hao-Yi Wu, Risa H. Wechsler | Summary: Bayesian posterior inference of modern multi-probe cosmological analyses incurs massive computational costs. For instance, depending on the combinations of probes, a single posterior inference for the Dark Energy Survey (DES) data had a […]
Kavli Affiliate: Risa H. Wechsler | First 5 Authors: Hao-Yi Wu, Matteo Costanzi, Chun-Hao To, Andrés N. Salcedo, David H. Weinberg | Summary: Cosmological constraints from current and upcoming galaxy cluster surveys are limited by the accuracy of cluster mass calibration. In particular, optically identified galaxy clusters are prone to selection effects that can bias […]

Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: Ali Kurmus, Sownak Bose, Mark Lovell, Francis-Yan Cyr-Racine, Mark Vogelsberger | Summary: Observations of the high redshift universe provide a promising avenue for constraining the nature of the dark matter (DM). This will be even more true with the advent of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). […]
Kavli Affiliate: Emil J. Martinec | First 5 Authors: Iosif Bena, Emil J. Martinec, Samir D. Mathur, Nicholas P. Warner, | Summary: The black-hole information paradox provides a stringent test of would-be theories of quantum gravity. String theory has made significant progress toward a resolution of this paradox, and has led to the fuzzball and […]
