Kavli Affiliate: Eli Rykoff | First 5 Authors: DES Collaboration, Tim Abbott, Michel Aguena, Alex Alarcon, Sahar Allam | Summary: We perform a joint analysis of the counts and weak lensing signal of redMaPPer clusters selected from the Dark Energy Survey (DES) Year 1 dataset. Our analysis uses the same shear and source photometric redshifts […]
Kavli Affiliate: Roger D. Blandford | First 5 Authors: Noemie Globus, Roger D. Blandford, , , | Summary: Biological molecules chose one of two structurally, chiral systems which are related by reflection in a mirror. It is proposed that this choice was made, causally, by magnetically polarized and physically chiral cosmic-rays, which are known to […]
Kavli Affiliate: Eric Charles | First 5 Authors: Ke Fang, Arka Banerjee, Eric Charles, Yuuki Omori, | Summary: The origin of the bulk of the astrophysical neutrinos detected by the IceCube Observatory remains a mystery. Previous source-finding analyses compare the directions of IceCube events and individual sources in astrophysical catalogs. The source association method is […]
Kavli Affiliate: Brian Lantz | First 5 Authors: Rana X Adhikari, Odylio Aguiar, Koji Arai, Bryan Barr, Riccardo Bassiri | Summary: The detection of gravitational waves from compact binary mergers by LIGO has opened the era of gravitational wave astronomy, revealing a previously hidden side of the cosmos. To maximize the reach of the existing […]
Kavli Affiliate: Robert L. Byer | First 5 Authors: Zhexin Zhao, Dylan S. Black, R. Joel England, Tyler W. Hughes, Yu Miao | Summary: To be useful for most scientific and medical applications, compact particle accelerators will require much higher average current than enabled by current architectures. For this purpose, we propose a photonic crystal […]
Kavli Affiliate: Robert Byer | Summary:To be useful for most scientific and medical applications, compact particle accelerators will require much higher average current than enabled by current architectures. For this purpose, we propose a photonic crystal architecture for a dielectric laser accelerator, referred to as a multi-input multi-output silicon accelerator (MIMOSA), that enables simultaneous acceleration […]
Kavli Affiliate: James Chiang | First 5 Authors: F. Javier Sánchez, Chris W. Walter, Humna Awan, James Chiang, Scott F. Daniel | Summary: Data Challenge 1 (DC1) is the first synthetic dataset produced by the Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) Dark Energy Science Collaboration (DESC). DC1 is designed to develop and […]
Kavli Affiliate: Heather Kelly | Summary:Data Challenge 1 (DC1) is the first synthetic dataset produced by the Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) Dark Energy Science Collaboration (DESC). DC1 is designed to develop and validate data reduction and analysis and to study the impact of systematic effects that will affect the LSST […]
Kavli Affiliate: Peter W. Graham | First 5 Authors: Kim V. Berghaus, Peter W. Graham, David E. Kaplan, , | Summary: Slow-roll inflation is a successful paradigm. However we find that even a small coupling of the inflaton to other light fields can dramatically alter the dynamics and predictions of inflation. As an example, the […]
Kavli Affiliate: J. Todd Hoeksema | Summary:Solar Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) are sometimes deflected during their propagation. This deflection may be the consequence of interaction between a CME and a coronal hole or the solar wind. We analyze 44 halo-CMEs whose deflection angle exceeds 90 degrees. The coronal magnetic field configuration is computed from daily […]
