Kavli Affiliate: Blas Cabrera | Summary:Recent breakthroughs in cryogenic silicon detector technology allow for the observation of single electron-hole pairs released via particle interactions within the target material. This implies sensitivity to energy depositions as low as the smallest band gap, which is $sim1.2$ eV for silicon, and therefore sensitivity to eV/$c^2$-scale bosonic dark matter […]

Kavli Affiliate: Philip J. Marshall | First 5 Authors: Sebastian Wagner-Carena, Ji Won Park, Simon Birrer, Philip J. Marshall, Aaron Roodman | Summary: In the past few years, approximate Bayesian Neural Networks (BNNs) have demonstrated the ability to produce statistically consistent posteriors on a wide range of inference problems at unprecedented speed and scale. However, […]

Kavli Affiliate: Igor Moskalenko | First 5 Authors: Chris Karwin, Simona Murgia, Igor Moskalenko, Sean Fillingham, Anne-Katherine Burns | Summary: An excess $gamma$-ray signal toward the outer halo of M31 has recently been reported. Although other explanations are plausible, the possibility that it arises from dark matter (DM) is valid. In this work we interpret […]

Kavli Affiliate: Eli S. Rykoff | First 5 Authors: LSST Dark Energy Science Collaboration, Bela Abolfathi, David Alonso, Robert Armstrong, Éric Aubourg | Summary: We describe the simulated sky survey underlying the second data challenge (DC2) carried out in preparation for analysis of the Vera C. Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) […]

Bogart | First 5 Authors: LSST Dark Energy Science Collaboration, Bela Abolfathi, David Alonso, Robert Armstrong, Éric Aubourg | Summary: We describe the simulated sky survey underlying the second data challenge (DC2) carried out in preparation for analysis of the Vera C. Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) […]

Kavli Affiliate: Richard Dubois | First 5 Authors: LSST Dark Energy Science Collaboration, Bela Abolfathi, David Alonso, Robert Armstrong, Éric Aubourg | Summary: We describe the simulated sky survey underlying the second data challenge (DC2) carried out in preparation for analysis of the Vera C. Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) by […]

Kavli Affiliate: Steven Kahn | Summary:We describe the simulated sky survey underlying the second data challenge (DC2) carried out in preparation for analysis of the Vera C. Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) by the LSST Dark Energy Science Collaboration (LSST DESC). Significant connections across multiple science domains will be a hallmark […]

Kavli Affiliate: R. Morris | First 5 Authors: Jesus M. Salas, Smadar Naoz, Mark R. Morris, , | Summary: The gas dynamics in the inner few kiloparsecs of barred galaxies often results in configurations that give rise to nuclear gas rings. However, the generic dynamical description of the formation of galactic nuclear rings does not […]

Kavli Affiliate: Risa H. Wechsler | First 5 Authors: Karime Maamari, Vera Gluscevic, Kimberly K. Boddy, Ethan O. Nadler, Risa H. Wechsler | Summary: We use the latest measurements of the Milky Way satellite population from the Dark Energy Survey and Pan-STARRS1 to infer the most stringent astrophysical bound to date on velocity-dependent interactions between […]

Kavli Affiliate: Igor V. Moskalenko | First 5 Authors: Mikhail A. Malkov, Igor V. Moskalenko, , , | Summary: A recently observed bump in the cosmic ray (CR) spectrum from 0.3–30 TV is likely caused by a stellar bow shock that reaccelerates emph{preexisting} CRs, which further propagate to the Sun along the magnetic field lines.
