Kavli Affiliate: Yuji Tachikawa | First 5 Authors: Yasunori Lee, Yuji Tachikawa, , , | Summary: Global gauge anomalies in $6d$ associated with non-trivial homotopy groups $pi_6(G)$ for $G=SU(2)$, $SU(3)$, and $G_2$ were computed and utilized in the past. In the modern bordism point of view of anomalies, however, they come from the bordism groups […]
Kavli Affiliate: Deepto Chakrabarty | First 5 Authors: Peter Bult, Diego Altamirano, Zaven Arzoumanian, Anna V. Bilous, Deepto Chakrabarty | Summary: In this work we report on observations with the Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer of the known neutron star X-ray transient XTE J1739-285. We observed the source in 2020 February and March, finding it […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jeffrey McMahon | First 5 Authors: Thomas Essinger-Hileman, Trevor Oxholm, Gage Siebert, Peter Ade, Christopher Anderson | Summary: This work describes the optical design of the EXperiment for Cryogenic Large-Aperture Intensity Mapping (EXCLAIM). EXCLAIM is a balloon-borne telescope that will measure integrated line emission from carbon monoxide (CO) at redshifts z < 1 […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jeffrey McMahon | First 5 Authors: Thomas Essinger-Hileman, Trevor Oxholm, Gage Siebert, Alyssa Barlis, Emily M. Barrentine | Summary: This work describes the design and implementation of optics for EXCLAIM, the EXperiment for Cryogenic Large-Aperture Intensity Mapping. EXCLAIM is a balloon-borne telescope that will measure integrated line emission from carbon monoxide (CO) at […]

EXCLAIM is a balloon-borne telescope that will measure integrated line emission from carbon monoxide (CO) at redshifts […]
Kavli Affiliate: Huawei Zhang | First 5 Authors: Yang Huang, Qingzheng Li, Huawei Zhang, Xinyi Li, Weixiang Sun | Summary: In this letter, we report the discovery of an intriguing HVS (J1443+1453) candidate that is probably from the Sagittarius Dwarf Spheroidal galaxy (Sgr dSph). The star is an old and very metal-poor low-mass main-sequence turn-off […]
Kavli Affiliate: Bruce Macintosh | First 5 Authors: Lea A. Hirsch, Lee Rosenthal, Benjamin J. Fulton, Andrew W. Howard, David R. Ciardi | Summary: We explore the impact of outer stellar companions on the occurrence rate of giant planets detected with radial velocities. We searched for stellar and planetary companions to a volume-limited sample of […]
Kavli Affiliate: Erin Kara | First 5 Authors: Michael McDonald, Brian R. McNamara, Michael S. Calzadilla, Chien-Ting Chen, Massimo Gaspari | Summary: We present a study of the relationship between black hole accretion rate (BHAR) and star formation rate (SFR) in a sample of giant elliptical galaxies. These galaxies, which live at the centers of […]
Kavli Affiliate: E. P. S. Shellard | First 5 Authors: Philip Clarke, E. P. S. Shellard, , , | Summary: Calculating the primordial bispectrum predicted by a model of inflation and comparing it to what we see in the sky is very computationally intensive, necessitating layers of approximations and limiting the models which can be […]
Kavli Affiliate: Misao Sasaki | First 5 Authors: Guillem Domènech, Chunshan Lin, Misao Sasaki, , | Summary: We calculate the gravitational waves (GWs) induced by the density fluctuations due to inhomogeneous distribution of primordial black holes (PBHs) in the case where PBHs eventually dominate and reheat the universe by Hawking evaporation. The initial PBH density […]
