Kavli Affiliate: Susan E. Clark | First 5 Authors: Emily K. Biermann, Yaqiong Li, Sigurd Naess, Steve K. Choi, Susan E. Clark | Summary: We conduct a systematic search for astrophysical transients using data from the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT). The data were taken from 2017 to 2022 in three frequency bands spanning 77 GHz […]

Kavli Affiliate: Peter W. Graham | First 5 Authors: Peter W. Graham, Harikrishnan Ramani, Samuel S. Y. Wong, , | Summary: While much supersymmetric WIMP parameter space has been ruled out, one remaining important candidate is Higgsino dark matter. The Higgsino can naturally realize the “inelastic dark matter" scenario, where the scattering off a nucleus […]

Kavli Affiliate: Peter Graham | Summary:While much supersymmetric weakly interacting massive particle (WIMP) parameter space has been ruled out, one remaining important candidate is Higgsino dark matter. The Higgsino can naturally realize the "inelastic dark matter" scenario, where the scattering off a nucleus occurs between two nearly-degenerate states, making it invisible to WIMP direct detection […]
Kavli Affiliate: Patricia Burchat | Summary:We present an open source Python library for simulating overlapping (i.e., blended) images of galaxies and performing self-consistent comparisons of detection and deblending algorithms based on a suite of metrics. The package, named Blending Toolkit (BTK), serves as a modular, flexible, easy-to-install, and simple-to-use interface for exploring and analyzing systematic […]
Kavli Affiliate: Laura Schaefer | Summary:The recent JWST detections of carbon-bearing molecules in a habitable-zone sub-Neptune have opened a new era in the study of low-mass exoplanets. The sub-Neptune regime spans a wide diversity of planetary interiors and atmospheres not witnessed in the solar system, including mini-Neptunes, super-Earths, and water worlds. Recent works have investigated […]
Kavli Affiliate: Eric Charles | First 5 Authors: Qianjun Hang, Benjamin Joachimi, Eric Charles, John Franklin Crenshaw, Patricia Larsen | Summary: We investigate the impact of spatial survey non-uniformity on the galaxy redshift distributions for forthcoming data releases of the Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST). Specifically, we construct a mock photometry […]

Kavli Affiliate: Chao-Lin Kuo | First 5 Authors: The BICEP/Keck Collaboration, :, Y. Nakato, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed | Summary: Measurements of B-mode polarization in the CMB sourced from primordial gravitational waves would provide information on the energy scale of inflation and its potential form. To achieve these goals, one must carefully characterize […]
