Kavli Affiliate: Risa H. Wechsler | First 5 Authors: John F. Wu, Christian Kragh Jespersen, Risa H. Wechsler, , | Summary: We investigate the connection between galaxies, dark matter halos, and their large-scale environments with Illustris TNG300 hydrodynamic simulation data. We predict stellar masses from subhalo properties to test two types of machine learning (ML) […]
Kavli Affiliate: Risa H. Wechsler | First 5 Authors: John F. Wu, Christian Kragh Jespersen, Risa H. Wechsler, , | Summary: We investigate the connection between galaxies, dark matter halos, and their large-scale environments at $z=0$ with Illustris TNG300 hydrodynamic simulation data. We predict stellar masses from subhalo properties to test two types of machine […]
Kavli Affiliate: Tom Abel | First 5 Authors: Minyong Jung, Santi Roca-Fàbrega, Ji-hoon Kim, Anna Genina, Loic Hausammann | Summary: We analyze and compare the satellite halo populations at $zsim2$ in the high-resolution cosmological zoom-in simulations of a $10^{12},{rm M}_{odot}$ target halo ($z=0$ mass) carried out on eight widely-used astrophysical simulation codes ({sc Art-I}, {sc […]
Kavli Affiliate: Susan E. Clark | First 5 Authors: Jiancheng Feng, Rowan J. Smith, Alvaro Hacar, Susan E. Clark, Daniel Seifried | Summary: The interstellar medium is threaded by a hierarchy of filaments from large scales (~ 100 pc) to small scales (~ 0.1pc). The masses and lengths of these nested structures may reveal important […]
Kavli Affiliate: Vahe Petrosian | Summary:Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) can be probes of the early universe, but currently, only 26% of GRBs observed by the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory GRBs have known redshifts ($z$) due to observational limitations. To address this, we estimated the GRB redshift (distance) via a supervised statistical learning model that uses optical […]
Kavli Affiliate: Noah Kurinsky | First 5 Authors: Dylan J Temples, Osmond Wen, Karthik Ramanathan, Taylor Aralis, Yen-Yung Chang | Summary: Microcalorimeters that leverage microwave kinetic inductance detectors to read out phonon signals in the particle-absorbing target, referred to as kinetic inductance phonon-mediated (KIPM) detectors, offer an attractive detector architecture to probe dark matter (DM) […]
Kavli Affiliate: Chao-Lin Kuo | Summary:We report the test results of several independent foreground-cleaning pipelines used in the Ali CMB Polarization Telescope experiment (AliCPT-1), a high-altitude CMB imager in the Northern hemisphere with thousands of detectors dedicated to the search for a primordial CMB polarization $B$-mode signature. Based on simulated data from 4 detector modules […]
Kavli Affiliate: Chao-Lin Kuo | Summary:We present results from the first experimental demonstration of a tunable thin-shell axion haloscope. This novel geometry decouples the overall volume of the cavity-based resonator from its resonant frequency, thereby evading the steep sensitivity degradation at high-frequencies. An aluminum $2.6$ L ($41$ $λ^3$) prototype which tunes from $7.1$ to $8.0$ […]
Kavli Affiliate: Steffen Luitz | Summary:We report on the development of a novel pixel charge readout system, Grid Activated Multi-scale pixel readout (GAMPix), which is under development for use in the GammaTPC gamma ray instrument concept. GammaTPC is being developed to optimize the use of liquid argon time projection chamber technology for gamma ray astrophysics, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Risa H. Wechsler | First 5 Authors: Erin Kado-Fong, Marla Geha, Yao-Yuan Mao, Mithi A. C. de los Reyes, Risa H. Wechsler | Summary: Measuring the relation between star formation and galactic winds is observationally difficult. In this work we make an indirect measurement of the mass loading factor (the ratio between mass […]
