Model-independent measurement of $D^0$-$overline{D}{}^0$ mixing parameters in $D^0rightarrow K^0_{S}π^+π^-$ decays at Belle and Belle II

Posted by dbos Tokyo

Kavli Affiliate: T. Higuchi | First 5 Authors: Belle, Belle II Collaborations, :, I. Adachi, L. Aggarwal | Summary: We perform a model-independent measurement of the $D^0$-$overline{D}{}^0$ mixing parameters using samples of $e^+e^-$-collision data collected by the Belle and Belle II experiments that have integrated luminosities of $951 text{fb}^{-1}$ and $408 text{fb}^{-1}$, respectively. Approximately $2.05times10^6$ […]

Kavli Affiliate: Kiyoshi W. Masui | First 5 Authors: Thomas C. Abbott, Andrew V. Zwaniga, Charanjot Brar, Victoria M. Kaspi, Emily Petroff | Summary: We present frb-voe, a publicly available software package that enables radio observatories to broadcast fast radio burst (FRB) alerts to subscribers through low-latency virtual observatory events (VOEvents). We describe a use-case […]

The realm of Aurora. Density distribution of metal-poor giants in the heart of the Galaxy

Posted by dbos October 29, 2024November 11, 2024Chicago

Kavli Affiliate: Andrey Kravtsov | First 5 Authors: Evgeny P. Kurbatov, Vasily Belokurov, Sergey Koposov, Andrey Kravtsov, Elliot Y. Davies | Summary: The innermost portions of the Milky Way’s stellar halo have avoided scrutiny until recently. The lack of wide-area survey data, made it difficult to reconstruct an uninterrupted view of the density distribution of […]

The missing FeII bump in faint JWST AGN: possible evidence for metal-poor broad-line regions at early cosmic times

Posted by dbos October 29, 2024November 11, 2024Cambridge

Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: Bartolomeo Trefoloni, Xihan Ji, Roberto Maiolino, Francesco D’Eugenio, Hannah Übler | Summary: Recent JWST observations have revealed a large population of intermediate/low-luminosity AGN at early times with peculiar properties, different from local AGN or luminous quasars. To better understand the physical conditions in the BLRs of these […]

Unfolding X-ray Spectral Data: Conditions and Applications

Posted by dbos October 28, 2024November 11, 2024MIT

Kavli Affiliate: David P. Huenemoerder | First 5 Authors: Sean J. Gunderson, David P. Huenemoerder, , , | Summary: We present conditions for which X-ray spectra can be “unfolded” to present accurate representation of the true source spectra. The method we use to unfold the data is implemented in the textit{Interactive Spectral Interpretation Software} citep{Houck2000} […]

Blind source separation of the stellar halo

Posted by dbos October 28, 2024November 11, 2024Chicago

Kavli Affiliate: Andrey Kravtsov | First 5 Authors: Elliot Y. Davies, Vasily Belokurov, Andrey Kravtsov, Stephanie Monty, GyuChul Myeong | Summary: The stellar halo of the Milky Way comprises an abundance of chemical signatures from accretion events and textit{in-situ} evolution, that form an interweaving tapestry in kinematic space. To untangle this, we consider the mixtures […]

$texttt{StreamSculptor}$: Hamiltonian Perturbation Theory for Stellar Streams in Flexible Potentials with Differentiable Simulations

Posted by dbos October 28, 2024November 11, 2024Tokyo

Kavli Affiliate: David N. Spergel | First 5 Authors: Jacob Nibauer, Ana Bonaca, David N. Spergel, Adrian M. Price-Whelan, Jenny E. Greene | Summary: Stellar streams retain a memory of their gravitational interactions with small-scale perturbations. While perturbative models for streams have been formulated in action-angle coordinates, a direct transformation to these coordinates is only […]
