Kavli Affiliate: Risa H. Wechsler | First 5 Authors: Helena Treiber, Helena Treiber, , , | Summary: We present the most precise and lowest-mass weak lensing measurements of dwarf galaxies to date, enabled by spectroscopic lenses from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) and photometric lenses from the Dark Energy Survey (DES) calibrated with DESI […]
Kavli Affiliate: Laura Schaefer | First 5 Authors: Lichang Zhu, Lichang Zhu, , , | Summary: Predicting and interpreting thermal performance under oscillating flow in porous structures remains a critical challenge due to the complex coupling between fluid dynamics and geometric features. This study introduces a data-driven wGAN-LBM-Nested_CV framework that integrates generative deep learning, numerical […]
Kavli Affiliate: Bruce Macintosh | First 5 Authors: Kyle Van Gorkom, Kyle Van Gorkom, , , | Summary: NASA’s Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) aims to achieve starlight suppression to the $10^-10$ level for the detection and spectral characterization of Earth-like exoplanets. Broadband ozone absorption features are key biosignatures that appear in the 200-400nm near-ultraviolet (UV) […]
Kavli Affiliate: Chao-Lin Kuo | First 5 Authors: Y. Wan, Y. Wan, , , | Summary: Blind discoveries of millimeter-wave (mm-wave) transient events in non-targeted surveys, as opposed to follow-up or pointed observations, have only become possible in the past decade using cosmic microwave background surveys. Here we present the first results from the SPT-3G […]
Kavli Affiliate: Sven Herrmann | First 5 Authors: Govindarajan Prakash, Govindarajan Prakash, , , | Summary: Optically trapped Silica nanoparticles are a promising tool for precise sensing of gravitational or inertial forces and fundamental physics, including tests of quantum mechanics at ‘large’ mass scales. This field, called levitated optomechanics can greatly benefit from an application […]
Kavli Affiliate: Bruce Macintosh | First 5 Authors: Jayke S. Nguyen, Jayke S. Nguyen, , , | Summary: Mid-IR wavelengths are of particular interest to exoplanet science due to the fact they can extend the searchable parameter space to planets that are older and/or colder. However, a significant source of uncertainty at mid-IR wavelengths on […]
Kavli Affiliate: Roger W. Romani | First 5 Authors: Jack T. Dinsmore, Jack T. Dinsmore, , , | Summary: As the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) measures increasingly faint sources, the need for precise polarimetry extraction becomes paramount. In addition to previously described neural-net (NN) weights, we introduce here point-spread function weights and particle background […]

Kavli Affiliate: Bruce A. Macintosh | First 5 Authors: Nathalie K. Jones, Nathalie K. Jones, , , | Summary: We present confirmation of HD 143811 AB b, a substellar companion to spectroscopic binary HD 143811 AB through direct imaging with the Gemini Planet Imager (GPI) and Keck NIRC2. HD 143811 AB was observed as a […]
Kavli Affiliate: Bruce Macintosh | First 5 Authors: Anne E. Peck, Anne E. Peck, , , | Summary: HD~143811~AB is the host star to the directly imaged planet HD~143811~AB~b, which was recently discovered using data from the Gemini Planet Imager and Keck NIRC2. A member of the Sco-Cen star-forming region with an age of $13 […]
