The correlation of high-redshift galaxies with the thermal Sunyaev-Zel’dovich effect traces reionization

Kavli Affiliate: Martin Haehnelt | First 5 Authors: Eric J. Baxter, Lewis Weinberger, Martin Haehnelt, Vid Iršič, Girish Kulkarni | Summary: We explore a potential new probe of reionization: the cross-correlation of high-redshift galaxies with maps of the thermal Sunyaev-Zel’dovich (tSZ) effect. We consider two types of high redshift galaxies: Lyman break galaxies (LBGs) and […]

Anomalies, Black strings and the charged Cardy formula

Kavli Affiliate: Yuji Tachikawa | First 5 Authors: Seyed Morteza Hosseini, Kiril Hristov, Yuji Tachikawa, Alberto Zaffaroni, | Summary: We derive the general anomaly polynomial for a class of two-dimensional CFTs arising as twisted compactifications of a higher-dimensional theory on compact manifolds $mathcal{M}_d$, including the contribution of the isometries of $mathcal{M}_d$. We then use the […]

Multiband Polarimetric Imaging of HR 4796A with the Gemini Planet Imager

Kavli Affiliate: Bruce A. Macintosh | First 5 Authors: Pauline Arriaga, Michael P. Fitzgerald, Gaspard Duchêne, Paul Kalas, Maxwell A. Millar-Blanchaer | Summary: HR4796A hosts a well-studied debris disk with a long history due to its high fractional luminosity and favorable inclination lending itself well to both unresolved and resolved observations. We present new J- […]

Imaging and Spectral Performance of a 60 μm Pitch CdTe Double-Sided Strip Detector

Kavli Affiliate: Tadayuki Takahashi | First 5 Authors: Kento Furukawa, Shunsaku Nagasawa, Lindsay Glesener, Miho Katsuragawa, Shin’ichiro Takeda | Summary: We have evaluated the performance of a fine pitch CdTe Double-sided Strip Detector (CdTe-DSD), which was originally developed for the focal plane detector of a hard X-ray telescope to observe the Sun. The detector has […]

Evidence for magnetic activity at starbirth: a powerful X-ray flare from the Class 0 protostar HOPS 383

Kavli Affiliate: David Principe | First 5 Authors: Nicolas Grosso, Kenji Hamaguchi, David Principe, Joel Kastner, | Summary: Context. Class 0 protostars represent the earliest evolutionary stage of solar-type stars, during which the majority of the system mass resides in an infalling envelope of gas and dust and is not yet in the central, nascent […]

The LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) radioactivity and cleanliness control programs

Kavli Affiliate: C. M. Ignarra | First 5 Authors: D. S. Akerib, C. W. Akerlof, D. Yu. Akimov, A. Alquahtani, S. K. Alsum | Summary: LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) is a second-generation direct dark matter experiment with spin-independent WIMP-nucleon scattering sensitivity above $1.4 times 10^{-48}$ cm$^{2}$ for a WIMP mass of 40 GeV/c$^{2}$ and a 1000 d […]

Deep XMM-Newton Observations of the Most Distant SPT-SZ Galaxy Cluster

Kavli Affiliate: Lindsey E. Bleem | First 5 Authors: Adam B. Mantz, Steven W. Allen, R. Glenn Morris, Rebecca E. A. Canning, Matthew Bayliss | Summary: We present results from a 577 ks XMM-Newton observation of SPT-CL J0459-4947, the most distant cluster detected in the South Pole Telescope 2500 square degree (SPT-SZ) survey, and currently […]

Mass loss from massive globular clusters in tidal fields

Kavli Affiliate: Rainer Spurzem | First 5 Authors: Yohai Meiron, Jeremy J. Webb, Jongsuk Hong, Peter Berczik, Rainer Spurzem | Summary: Massive globular clusters lose stars via internal and external processes. Internal processes include mainly two-body relaxation, while external processes include interactions with the Galactic tidal field. We perform a suite of N-body simulations of […]
