Kavli Affiliate: Misao Sasaki | First 5 Authors: Niayesh Afshordi, Abhay Ashtekar, Enrico Barausse, Emanuele Berti, Richard Brito | Summary: The gravitational physics landscape is evolving rapidly, driven by our ability to study strong-field regions, in particular black holes. Black Holes Inside and Out gathered world experts to discuss the status of the field and […]
Kavli Affiliate: Naoki Yasuda | First 5 Authors: Seiji Toshikage, Masaomi Tanaka, Naoki Yasuda, Takashi J. Moriya, Ichiro Takahashi | Summary: Recent high-cadence transient surveys have discovered rapid transients whose light curve timescales are shorter than those of typical supernovae. In this paper, we present a systematic search for rapid transients at medium-high redshifts among […]
Kavli Affiliate: David N. Spergel | First 5 Authors: Elena Hernández-Martínez, Shy Genel, Francisco Villaescusa-Navarro, Ulrich P. Steinwandel, Max E. Lee | Summary: We present a study on the inference of cosmological and astrophysical parameters using stacked galaxy cluster profiles. Utilizing the CAMELS-zoomGZ simulations, we explore how various cluster properties–such as X-ray surface brightness, gas […]
Kavli Affiliate: Todor Milanov | First 5 Authors: John Alexander Cruz Morales, Todor Milanov, , , | Summary: We give a reformulation of the Dubrovin conjecture about the semisimplicity of quantum cohomology in terms of the so-called second structure connection of quantum cohomology. The key ingredient in our work is the notion of a twisted […]
Kavli Affiliate: T. Higuchi | First 5 Authors: Belle II Collaboration, I. Adachi, L. Aggarwal, H. Ahmed, H. Aihara | Summary: We present a measurement of the branching fraction and time-dependent charge-parity ($CP$) decay-rate asymmetries in $B^0 to J/psi pi^0$ decays. The data sample was collected with the Belle~II detector at the SuperKEKB asymmetric $e^+e^-$ […]
Kavli Affiliate: John D. Silverman | First 5 Authors: Jia-Lai Kang, Chris Done, Scott Hagen, Matthew J. Temple, John D. Silverman | Summary: A recent study on the spectral energy distribution (SED) of AGN combined unobscured X-ray sources from the eROSITA eFEDS Survey with high quality optical imaging from Subaru’s Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC). The HSC […]
Kavli Affiliate: Toshiya Namikawa | First 5 Authors: Toshiya Namikawa, , , , | Summary: We for the first time constrain anisotropic cosmic birefringence generated at reionization using Planck PR4 polarization data. Several recent analyses of WMAP and Planck polarization data have found a tantalizing hint of isotropic cosmic birefringence. Ongoing and future CMB experiments […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jia Liu | First 5 Authors: Joaquin Armijo, Gabriela A. Marques, Camila P. Novaes, Leander Thiele, Jessica A. Cowell | Summary: We use Minkowski functionals to analyse weak lensing convergence maps from the first-year data release of the Subaru Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC-Y1) survey. Minkowski functionals provide a description of the morphological properties of […]
Kavli Affiliate: John D. Silverman | First 5 Authors: Takumi S. Tanaka, John D. Silverman, Yurina Nakazato, Masafusa Onoue, Kazuhiro Shimasaku | Summary: The current paradigm for the co-evolution of galaxies and their supermassive black holes postulates that dust-obscured active galactic nuclei (AGNs) represent a transitional phase towards a more luminous and unobscured state. However, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jia Liu | First 5 Authors: Qi Bi, Jinhui Guo, Jia Liu, Yan Luo, Xiao-Ping Wang | Summary: We explore the potential of studying sterile neutrinos at a future high-energy muon collider, where these particles can generate small active neutrino masses via the seesaw mechanism and exhibit long-lived particle signatures. A Dirac sterile […]
