Kavli Affiliate: Bruce Macintosh | First 5 Authors: Vincent Chambouleyron, Mahawa Cissé, Maïssa Salama, Sebastiaan Haffert, Vincent Déo | Summary: The Zernike wavefront sensor (ZWFS) stands out as one of the most sensitive optical systems for measuring the phase of an incoming wavefront, reaching photon efficiencies close to the fundamental limit. This quality, combined with […]
Kavli Affiliate: Risa Wechsler | First 5 Authors: Mithi A. C. de los Reyes, Yasmeen Asali, Risa Wechsler, Marla Geha, Yao-Yuan Mao | Summary: The stellar masses of galaxies are measured using integrated light via several methods — however, few of these methods were designed for low-mass ($M_{star}lesssim10^{8}rm{M_{odot}}$) "dwarf" galaxies, whose properties (e.g., stochastic star […]
Kavli Affiliate: Laura Schaefer | First 5 Authors: Frances E. Rigby, Lorenzo Pica-Ciamarra, Måns Holmberg, Nikku Madhusudhan, Savvas Constantinou | 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 […]
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 […]

Kavli Affiliate: Chao-Lin Kuo | First 5 Authors: C. Bartram, C. Boutan, T. Braine, J. H. Buckley, T. J. Caligiure | Summary: We report the results of a QCD axion dark matter search with discovery ability for Dine-Fischler-Srednicki-Zhitnitsky (DFSZ) axions using an axion haloscope. Sub-Kelvin noise temperatures are reached with an ultra low-noise Josephson parametric […]
