Kavli Affiliate: Peter Graham | First 5 Authors: Pete Barry, Karl Berggren, A. Baha Balantekin, John Bollinger, Ray Bunker | Summary: A subset of QuantISED Sensor PIs met virtually on May 26, 2020 to discuss a response to a charge by the DOE Office of High Energy Physics. In this document, we summarize the QuantISED […]
Kavli Affiliate: Tom Abel | First 5 Authors: Arka Banerjee, Tom Abel, , , | Summary: Cross-correlations between datasets are used in many different contexts in cosmological analyses. Recently, $k$-Nearest Neighbor Cumulative Distribution Functions ($k{rm NN}$-${rm CDF}$) were shown to be sensitive probes of cosmological (auto) clustering. In this paper, we extend the framework of […]
Kavli Affiliate: Risa H. Wechsler | First 5 Authors: Nickolas Kokron, Joseph DeRose, Shi-Fan Chen, Martin White, Risa H. Wechsler | Summary: We implement a model for the two-point statistics of biased tracers that combines dark matter dynamics from $N$-body simulations with an analytic Lagrangian bias expansion. Using Aemulus, a suite of $N$-body simulations built […]
Kavli Affiliate: Sven C. Herrmann | First 5 Authors: Adam Coogan, Alexander Moiseev, Logan Morrison, Stefano Profumo, Matthew G. Baring | Summary: We outline the science opportunities in the areas of searches for dark matter and new physics offered by a proposed future MeV gamma-ray telescope, the Galactic Explorer with a Coded Aperture Mask Compton […]
Kavli Affiliate: Roger W. Romani | First 5 Authors: Roger W. Romani, D. Kandel, Alexei V. Filippenko, Thomas G. Brink, WeiKang Zheng | Summary: Keck-telescope spectrophotometry of the companion of PSR J1810+1744 shows a flat, but asymmetric light-curve maximum and a deep, narrow minimum. The maximum indicates strong gravity darkening near the L_1 point, along […]
Kavli Affiliate: Keith L. Thompson, Chao-Lin Kuo | First 5 Authors: Maria Salatino, Jason E. Austermann, Keith L. Thompson, Peter A. R. Ade, Xiran Bai | Summary: Ali CMB Polarization Telescope (AliCPT-1) is the first CMB degree-scale polarimeter to be deployed on the Tibetan plateau at 5,250m above sea level. AliCPT-1 is a 90/150 GHz […]

Ade, Xiran Bai | Summary: Ali CMB Polarization Telescope (AliCPT-1) is the first CMB degree-scale polarimeter to be deployed on the Tibetan plateau at 5,250m above sea level. AliCPT-1 is a 90/150 GHz 72 cm […]
Kavli Affiliate: Daniel R. Wilkins | First 5 Authors: Labani Mallick, Daniel R. Wilkins, William N. Alston, Alex Markowitz, Barbara De Marco | Summary: The scaling relations between the black hole (BH) mass and soft lag properties for both active galactic nuclei (AGNs) and BH X-ray binaries (BHXRBs) suggest the same underlying physical mechanism at […]

Kavli Affiliate: Adam B. Mantz | First 5 Authors: Jenny T. Wan, Adam B. Mantz, Jack Sayers, Steven W. Allen, R. Glenn Morris | Summary: We use a sample of 14 massive, dynamically relaxed galaxy clusters to constrain the Hubble Constant, $H_0$, by combining X-ray and Sunyaev-Zel’dovich (SZ) effect signals measured with Chandra, Planck and […]
