Robust cosmological inference from non-linear scales with k-th nearest neighbor statistics

Kavli Affiliate: Tom Abel | First 5 Authors: Sihan Yuan, Tom Abel, Risa H. Wechsler, , | Summary: We present the methodology for deriving accurate and reliable cosmological constraints from non-linear scales (<50Mpc/h) with k-th nearest neighbor (kNN) statistics. We detail our methods for choosing robust minimum scale cuts and validating galaxy-halo connection models. Using […]

Sub-relativistic Alternating Phase Focusing Dielectric Laser Accelerators

Kavli Affiliate: Robert L. Byer | First 5 Authors: Payton Broaddus, Thilo Egenolf, Dylan S. Black, Melanie Murillo, Clarisse Woodahl | Summary: We demonstrate a silicon-based electron accelerator that uses laser optical near fields to both accelerate and confine electrons over extended distances. Two dielectric laser accelerators (DLA) designs were tested, each consisting of two […]

Outgassing Composition of the Murchison Meteorite: Implications for Volatile Depletion of Planetesimals and Interior-atmosphere Connections for Terrestrial Exoplanets

Kavli Affiliate: Laura Schaefer | First 5 Authors: Maggie A. Thompson, Myriam Telus, Graham Harper Edwards, Laura Schaefer, Jasmeet Dhaliwal | Summary: Outgassing is a central process during the formation and evolution of terrestrial planets and their atmospheres both within and beyond the solar system. Although terrestrial planets’ early atmospheres likely form via outgassing during […]

Small-scale signatures of primordial non-Gaussianity in k-Nearest Neighbour cumulative distribution functions

Kavli Affiliate: Tom Abel | First 5 Authors: William R. Coulton, Tom Abel, Arka Banerjee, , | Summary: Searches for primordial non-Gaussianity in cosmological perturbations are a key means of revealing novel primordial physics. However, robustly extracting signatures of primordial non-Gaussianity from non-linear scales of the late-time Universe is an open problem. In this paper, […]
