Kavli Affiliate: Sven Herrmann | First 5 Authors: Elena Orlando, Eugenio Bottacini, Alexander Moiseev, Arash Bodaghee, Werner Collmar | Summary: The sky at MeV energies is currently poorly explored. Here we present an innovative mission concept and we outline the scientific motivation for combining a coded mask and a Compton telescope. The Galactic Explorer with […]

Kavli Affiliate: Seth Digel | Summary:The sky at MeV energies is currently poorly explored. Here we present an innovative mission concept that builds on and improves past and currently proposed missions at such energies. We outline the motivations for combining a coded mask and a Compton telescope and we define the scientific goals of such […]

Kavli Affiliate: Roger D. Blandford | First 5 Authors: Elena M. Murchikova, Tianshu Wang, Brian Mason, Roger D. Blandford, | Summary: Murchikova et al 2019 discovered a disk of cool ionized gas within 20,000 Schwarzschild radii of the Milky Way’s Galactic Center black hole Sagittarius A*. They further demonstrated that the ionizing photon flux in […]

Kavli Affiliate: Risa H. Wechsler | First 5 Authors: John F. Wu, J. E. G. Peek, Erik J. Tollerud, Yao-Yuan Mao, Ethan O. Nadler | Summary: We present "Extending the Satellites Around Galactic Analogs Survey" (xSAGA), a method for identifying low-$z$ galaxies on the basis of optical imaging, and results on the spatial distributions of […]

Kavli Affiliate: Risa H. Wechsler | First 5 Authors: Nickolas Kokron, Joseph DeRose, Shi-Fan Chen, Martin White, Risa H. Wechsler | Summary: We investigate the stochastic properties of typical red galaxy samples in a controlled numerical environment. We use Halo Occupation Distribution (HOD) modelling to create mock realizations of three separate bright red galaxy samples […]

Kavli Affiliate: C. L. Kuo | First 5 Authors: A. Schillaci, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed, M. Amiri, D. Barkats | Summary: The BICEP/Keck Collaboration is currently leading the quest to the highest sensitivity measurements of the polarized CMB anisotropies on degree scale with a series of cryogenic telescopes, of which BICEP Array is […]

Kavli Affiliate: Kent D. Irwin | First 5 Authors: Marion Dierickx, P. A. R. Ade, Zeeshan Ahmed, Mandana Amiri, Denis Barkats | Summary: The BICEP/Keck series of experiments target the Cosmic Microwave Background at degree-scale resolution from the South Pole. Over the next few years, the "Stage-3" BICEP Array (BA) telescope will improve the program’s […]
