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, […]

The Kinematic Structure of Magnetically Aligned HI Filaments

Kavli Affiliate: Susan E. Clark | First 5 Authors: Doyeon Avery Kim, Susan E Clark, Mary E Putman, Larry Li, | Summary: We characterize the kinematic and magnetic properties of HI filaments located in a high Galactic latitude region ($165^circ < alpha < 195^circ$ and $12^circ < delta < 24^circ$). We extract three-dimensional filamentary structures […]

A Hierarchical Framework for explaining the Cosmic Ray Spectrum using Diffusive Shock Acceleration

Kavli Affiliate: Roger Blandford | First 5 Authors: Roger Blandford, Paul Simeon, Noémie Globus, Payel Mukhopadhyay, Enrico Peretti | Summary: The hypothesis that the entire cosmic ray spectrum, from $lesssim1,{rm GeV}$ to $gtrsim100,{rm EeV}$ energy, can be accounted for by diffusive shock acceleration on increasingly large scales is critically examined. Specifically, it is conjectured that […]
