Kavli Affiliate: Eli Rykoff | First 5 Authors: Brittany J. Fuzia, Lalitwadee Kawinwanichakij, Nicola Mehrtens, Simone Aiola, Nicholas Battaglia | Summary: We examine the stacked thermal Sunyaev-Zeltext{‘}dovich (SZ) signals for a sample of galaxy cluster candidates from the Spitzer-HETDEX Exploratory Large Area (SHELA) Survey, which are identified in combined optical and infrared SHELA data using […]

Kavli Affiliate: Robert L. Byer | First 5 Authors: Zhexin Zhao, Dylan S. Black, R. Joel England, Tyler W. Hughes, Yu Miao | Summary: To be useful for most scientific and medical applications, compact particle accelerators will require much higher average current than enabled by current architectures. For this purpose, we propose a photonic crystal […]

Kavli Affiliate: Laura Schaefer | First 5 Authors: Edwin S. Kite, Bruce Fegley Jr., Laura Schaefer, Eric Ford, | Summary: Planets with 2 $R_{oplus}$ < $R$ < 3 $R_{oplus}$ and orbital period $<$100 d are abundant; these sub-Neptune exoplanets are not well understood. For example, $Kepler$ sub-Neptunes are likely to have deep magma oceans in […]

Kavli Affiliate: Aaron Roodman | First 5 Authors: Adam Snyder, Aaron Roodman, , , | Summary: The traditional characterization of charge transfer inefficiency (CTI) in charge-coupled devices (CCDs) can suffer from a number of deficiencies: CTI is often only calculated for a limited number of signal levels, CTI is calculated from a limited number of […]

Kavli Affiliate: James Chiang | First 5 Authors: F. Javier Sánchez, Chris W. Walter, Humna Awan, James Chiang, Scott F. Daniel | Summary: Data Challenge 1 (DC1) is the first synthetic dataset produced by the Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) Dark Energy Science Collaboration (DESC). DC1 is designed to develop and […]

Kavli Affiliate: Peter W. Graham | First 5 Authors: Kim V. Berghaus, Peter W. Graham, David E. Kaplan, , | Summary: Slow-roll inflation is a successful paradigm. However we find that even a small coupling of the inflaton to other light fields can dramatically alter the dynamics and predictions of inflation. As an example, the […]

Kavli Affiliate: Sarah Church | First 5 Authors: Che-Yu Chen, Shaye Storm, Zhi-Yun Li, Lee G. Mundy, David Frayer | Summary: We present the first results of high-spectral resolution (0.023 km/s) N$_2$H$^+$ observations of dense gas dynamics at core scales (~0.01 pc) using the recently commissioned Argus instrument on the Green Bank Telescope (GBT). While […]

Kavli Affiliate: Peter F. Michelson | First 5 Authors: Peter F. Michelson, Robert L. Byer, Sasha Buchman, Ilya Mandel, John Lipa | Summary: We make the case for the early development of a Mid-Frequency-Band (MFB) gravitational wave (GW) observatory in geosynchronous orbit (73,000 km arm), optimized for the frequency band 10 mHz to 1 Hz. […]

Kavli Affiliate: Hsiao-Mei (Sherry) Cho | First 5 Authors: Kevork Abazajian, Graeme Addison, Peter Adshead, Zeeshan Ahmed, Steven W. Allen | Summary: We provide an overview of the science case, instrument configuration and project plan for the next-generation ground-based cosmic microwave background experiment CMB-S4, for consideration by the 2020 Decadal Survey. | Search Query: ArXiv […]
