Light Dark Matter Constraints from SuperCDMS HVeV Detectors Operated Underground with an Anticoincidence Event Selection

Kavli Affiliate: D. B. Macfarlane | Summary:This article presents constraints on dark-matter-electron interactions obtained from the first underground data-taking campaign with multiple SuperCDMS HVeV detectors operated in the same housing. An exposure of 7.63 g-days is used to set upper limits on the dark-matter-electron scattering cross section for dark matter masses between 0.5 and 1000 […]

GD-1 Stellar Stream and Cocoon in the DESI Early Data Release

Kavli Affiliate: Risa H. Wechsler | First 5 Authors: Monica Valluri, Parker Fagrelius, Sergey. E. Koposov, Ting S. Li, Oleg Y. Gnedin | Summary: We present ~ 126 new spectroscopically identified members of the GD-1 tidal stream obtained with the 5000-fiber Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI). We confirm the existence of a “cocoon” which is […]

A Generative Model for Realistic Galaxy Cluster X-ray Morphologies

Kavli Affiliate: Steven W. Allen | First 5 Authors: Maya Benyas, Jordan Pfeifer, Adam B. Mantz, Steven W. Allen, Elise Darragh-Ford | Summary: The X-ray morphologies of clusters of galaxies display significant variations, reflecting their dynamical histories and the nonlinear dependence of X-ray emissivity on the density of the intracluster gas. Qualitative and quantitative assessments […]

A Generative Model for Realistic Galaxy Cluster X-ray Morphologies

Kavli Affiliate: Adam Mantz | Summary:The X-ray morphologies of clusters of galaxies display significant variations, reflecting their dynamical histories and the nonlinear dependence of X-ray emissivity on the density of the intracluster gas. Qualitative and quantitative assessments of X-ray morphology have long been considered a proxy for determining whether clusters are dynamically active or "relaxed." […]

Experimental Measurement of Assembly Indices are Required to Determine The Threshold for Life

Kavli Affiliate: Stuart Marshall | First 5 Authors: Sara I. Walker, Cole Mathis, Stuart Marshall, Leroy Cronin, | Summary: Assembly Theory (AT) was developed to help distinguish living from non-living systems. The theory is simple as it posits that the amount of selection or Assembly is a function of the number of complex objects where […]

Experimental Measurement of Assembly Indices are Required to Determine The Threshold for Life

Kavli Affiliate: Stuart Marshall | Summary:Assembly Theory (AT) was developed to help distinguish living from non-living systems. The theory is simple as it posits that the amount of selection or Assembly is a function of the number of complex objects where their complexity can be objectively determined using assembly indices. The assembly index of a […]
