Forecasting ground-based sensitivity to the Rayleigh scattering of the CMB in the presence of astrophysical foregrounds

Kavli Affiliate: W. L. Kimmy Wu | First 5 Authors: Karia R. Dibert, Adam J. Anderson, Amy N. Bender, Bradford A. Benson, Federico Bianchini | Summary: The Rayleigh scattering of cosmic microwave background (CMB) photons off the neutral hydrogen produced during recombination effectively creates an additional scattering surface after recombination that encodes new cosmological information, […]

Insights into the origin of halo mass profiles from machine learning

Kavli Affiliate: Risa H. Wechsler | First 5 Authors: Luisa Lucie-Smith, Susmita Adhikari, Risa H. Wechsler, , | Summary: The mass distribution of dark matter haloes is the result of the hierarchical growth of initial density perturbations through mass accretion and mergers. We use an interpretable machine-learning framework to provide physical insights into the origin […]

Integral field spectroscopy with the solar gravitational lens

Kavli Affiliate: Bruce Macintosh | First 5 Authors: Alexander Madurowicz, Bruce Macintosh, , , | Summary: The prospect of combining integral field spectroscopy with the solar gravitational lens (SGL) to spectrally and spatially resolve the surfaces and atmospheres of extrasolar planets is investigated. The properties of hyperbolic orbits visiting the focal region of the SGL […]

Extragalactic magnetism with SOFIA (SALSA Legacy Program) — III: First data release and on-the-fly polarization mapping characterization

Kavli Affiliate: Susan E. Clark | First 5 Authors: Enrique Lopez-Rodriguez, Melanie Clarke, Sachin Shenoy, William Vacca, Simon Coude | Summary: We describe the data processing of the Survey on extragALactic magnetiSm with SOFIA (SALSA Legacy Program). This first data release presents 33% (51.34h out of 155.7h, including overheads) of the total awarded time taken […]

The level-1 trigger for the SuperCDMS experiment at SNOLAB

Kavli Affiliate: Richard Partridge | First 5 Authors: Jonathan S. Wilson, Hanno Meyer zu Theenhausen, Belina von Krosigk, Elham Azadbakht, Ray Bunker | Summary: The SuperCDMS SNOLAB dark matter search experiment aims to be sensitive to energy depositions down to O(1 eV). This imposes requirements on the resolution, signal efficiency, and noise rejection of the […]

Ergomagnetosphere, Ejection Disc, Magnetopause in M87. I Global Flow of Mass, Angular Momentum, Energy and Current

Kavli Affiliate: Roger Blandford | First 5 Authors: Roger Blandford, Noemie Globus, , , | Summary: We interpret the 1.3mm VLBI observations made by the Event Horizon Telescope of the black hole in M87. It is proposed that, instead of being a torus of accreting gas, the ring is a rotating, magnetically-dominated ergomagnetosphere that can […]
