Kavli Affiliate: Giorgio Gratta | First 5 Authors: Gautam Venugopalan, Clarke A. Hardy, Kenneth Kohn, Yuqi Zhu, Charles P. Blakemore | Summary: The search for new gravity-like interactions at the sub-millimeter scale is a compelling area of research, with important implications for the understanding of classical gravity and its connections with quantum physics. We report […]
Kavli Affiliate: Brian Van Klaveren | First 5 Authors: Jeremy McCormick, Gregory P. Dubois-Felsmann, Andrei Salnikov, Brian Van Klaveren, Tim Jenness | Summary: The Data Management team of the Vera C. Rubin Observatory has developed a data description language and toolset, Felis, for defining the semantics and metadata of its public-facing data catalogs. Felis uses […]
Kavli Affiliate: Risa H. Wechsler | First 5 Authors: Mahlet Shiferaw, Nickolas Kokron, Risa H. Wechsler, , | Summary: Our ability to extract cosmological information from galaxy surveys is limited by uncertainties in the galaxy-dark matter halo relationship for a given galaxy population, which are governed by the intricacies of galaxy formation. To quantify these […]
Kavli Affiliate: Giorgio Gratta | First 5 Authors: Gautam Venugopalan, Giorgio Gratta, , , | Summary: Microscopic devices are widely used in optomechanical experiments at the cutting-edge of precision experimental physics. Such devices often need to have high electrical conductivity but low reflectivity at optical wavelengths, which can be competing requirements for many commonly available […]
Kavli Affiliate: Noah A. Kurinsky | First 5 Authors: Chao-Lin Kuo, Chelsea L. Bartram, Aaron S. Chou, Taj A. Dyson, Noah A. Kurinsky | Summary: We provide a comprehensive comparison of linear amplifiers and microwave photon-counters in axion dark matter experiments. The study is done assuming a range of realistic operating conditions and detector parameters, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Aaron Roodman | First 5 Authors: John Banovetz, Yousuke Utsumi, Joshua Meyers, Maya Beleznay, Andrew Rasmussen | Summary: During electro-optical testing of the camera for the upcoming Vera C. Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time, a unique low-signal pattern was found in differenced pairs of flat images used to create photon […]
Kavli Affiliate: Nicola Omodei | First 5 Authors: Donggeun Tak, Z. Lucas Uhm, Gregory S. H. Paek, Myungshin Im, Makoto Arimoto | Summary: Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are the most energetic explosions in the universe, and their afterglow emission provides an opportunity to probe the physics of relativistic shock waves in an extreme environment. Several key […]

Kavli Affiliate: Susan E. Clark | First 5 Authors: Brandon Shane, Blakesley Burkhart, Laura Fissel, Susan E. Clark, Philip Mocz | Summary: The characterization of magnetic fields within molecular clouds is fundamental to understanding star formation processes. Accurately gauging the three-dimensional structure of these fields presents a challenge, as observational techniques such as dust polarization […]
