Kavli Affiliate: Tom Abel | First 5 Authors: Samuel Totorica, Masahiro Hoshino, Tom Abel, Frederico Fiuza, | Summary: Magnetic reconnection is a fundamental plasma process that is thought to play a key role in the production of nonthermal particles associated with explosive phenomena in space physics and astrophysics. Experiments at high-energy-density facilities are starting to […]
Kavli Affiliate: Susan Clark | First 5 Authors: Ian Lowe, Gabriele Coppi, Peter A. R. Ade, Peter C. Ashton, Jason E. Austermann | Summary: The BLAST Observatory is a proposed superpressure balloon-borne polarimeter designed for a future ultra-long duration balloon campaign from Wanaka, New Zealand. To maximize scientific output while staying within the stringent superpressure […]
Kavli Affiliate: Dale Li | First 5 Authors: Ian Lowe, Peter A. R. Ade, Peter C. Ashton, Jason E. Austermann, Gabriele Coppi | Summary: The Next Generation Balloon-borne Large Aperture Submillimeter Telescope (BLAST-TNG) is a submillimeter polarimeter designed to map interstellar dust and galactic foregrounds at 250, 350, and 500 microns during a 24-day Antarctic […]
Kavli Affiliate: Dale Li | First 5 Authors: Gabriele Coppi, Peter A. R. Ade, Peter C. Ashton, Jason E. Austermann, Erin G. Cox | Summary: The Next Generation Balloon-Borne Large Aperture Submillimeter Telescope (BLAST-TNG) was a unique instrument for characterizing the polarized submillimeter sky at high-angular resolution. BLAST-TNG flew from the Long Duration Balloon Facility […]
Kavli Affiliate: Arlene Aleman | First 5 Authors: Mary Anne Limbach, Jeffrey Chilcote, Quinn Konopacky, Robert De Rosa, Randall Hamper | Summary: The Gemini Planet Imager (GPI) is a high-contrast imaging instrument designed to directly image and characterize exoplanets. GPI is currently undergoing several upgrades to improve performance. In this paper, we discuss the upgrades […]

Kavli Affiliate: Eli Rykoff | First 5 Authors: Valtteri Lindholm, Alexis Finoguenov, Johan Comparat, Charles C. Kirkpatrick, Eli Rykoff | Summary: Aims. We analyze the autocorrelation function of a large contiguous sample of galaxy clusters, the Constrain Dark Energy with X-ray (CODEX) sample, in which we take particular care of cluster definition. These clusters were […]
Kavli Affiliate: Roger W. Romani | First 5 Authors: Martijn de Vries, Roger W. Romani, Oleg Kargaltsev, George Pavlov, Bettina Posselt | Summary: We have obtained a deep 670 ks CXO ACIS image of the remarkable pulsar wind nebula (PWN) of PSR J1709-4429, in 4 epochs during 2018-2019. Comparison with an archival 2004 data set […]
Kavli Affiliate: Philip J. Marshall | First 5 Authors: Ji Won Park, Sebastian Wagner-Carena, Simon Birrer, Philip J. Marshall, Joshua Yao-Yu Lin | Summary: We investigate the use of approximate Bayesian neural networks (BNNs) in modeling hundreds of time-delay gravitational lenses for Hubble constant ($H_0$) determination. Our BNN was trained on synthetic HST-quality images of […]
Kavli Affiliate: Peter W. Graham | First 5 Authors: Michael A. Fedderke, Peter W. Graham, Surjeet Rajendran, , | Summary: The gravitational coupling of nearby massive bodies to test masses in a gravitational wave (GW) detector cannot be shielded, and gives rise to ‘gravity gradient noise’ (GGN) in the detector. In this paper we show […]
