The Simons Observatory: Design, integration, and testing of the small aperture telescopes

Kavli Affiliate: Jeffrey J. McMahon | First 5 Authors: Nicholas Galitzki, Tran Tsan, Jake Spisak, Michael Randall, Max Silva-Feaver | Summary: The Simons Observatory (SO) is a cosmic microwave background (CMB) survey experiment that includes small-aperture telescopes (SATs) observing from an altitude of 5,200 m in the Atacama Desert in Chile. The SO SATs will […]

Cosmological Consequences of Unconstrained Gravity and Electromagnetism

Kavli Affiliate: Tom Melia | First 5 Authors: Loris Del Grosso, David E Kaplan, Tom Melia, Vivian Poulin, Surjeet Rajendran | Summary: Motivated by the quantum description of gauge theories, we study the cosmological effects of relaxing the Hamiltonian and momentum constraints in general relativity and Gauss’ law in electromagnetism. We show that the unconstrained […]

Stochastic star formation and the abundance of $z>10$ UV-bright galaxies

Kavli Affiliate: Andrey Kravtsov | First 5 Authors: Andrey Kravtsov, Vasily Belokurov, , , | Summary: We use a well-motivated galaxy formation framework to predict stellar masses, star formation rates (SFR), and ultraviolet (UV) luminosities of galaxy populations at redshifts $zin 5-16$, taking into account stochasticity of SFR in a controlled manner. We demonstrate that […]

Astrometric Redshifts of Supernovae

Kavli Affiliate: Richard Kessler | First 5 Authors: Jaemyoung, Lee, Masao Sako, Richard Kessler, Alex I. Malz | Summary: Differential Chromatic Refraction (DCR) is caused by the wavelength dependence of our atmosphere’s refractive index, which shifts the apparent positions of stars and galaxies and distorts their shapes depending on their spectral energy distributions (SEDs). While […]

Probability of Presence Versus $ψ(x,t)^* ψ(x, t)$

Kavli Affiliate: Frank Wilczek | First 5 Authors: Frank Wilczek, Zara Yu, , , | Summary: Postulating the identification of $psi^*(x, t) psi(x,t)$ with a physical probability density is unsatisfactory conceptually and overly limited practically. For electrons, there is a simple, calculable relativistic correction proportional to $nabla psi^* cdot nabla psi$. In particular, zeroes of […]
