Kavli Affiliate: Shunsaku Horiuchi | First 5 Authors: Oscar Macias, Harm van Leijen, Deheng Song, Shin’ichiro Ando, Shunsaku Horiuchi | Summary: The leading explanation of the $textit{Fermi}$ Galactic center $gamma$-ray excess is the extended emission from a unresolved population of millisecond pulsars (MSPs) in the Galactic bulge. Such a population would, along with the prompt […]

Kavli Affiliate: Toshiya Namikawa | First 5 Authors: Gabriel Jung, Toshiya Namikawa, Michele Liguori, Dipak Munshi, Alan Heavens | Summary: We investigate three-point statistics in weak lensing convergence, through the integrated bispectrum. This statistic involves measuring power spectra in patches, and is thus easy to measure, and avoids the complexity of estimating the very large […]

Kavli Affiliate: Satoshi Shirai | First 5 Authors: Masahiro Ibe, Shin Kobayashi, Yuhei Nakayama, Satoshi Shirai, | Summary: Recently, the chiral superconductivity of the cosmic string in the axion model has gathered attention. The superconductive nature can alter the standard understanding of the cosmology of the axion model. For example, a string loop with a […]

Kavli Affiliate: Shunsaku Horiuchi | First 5 Authors: Natalia Tapia Arellano, Shunsaku Horiuchi, , , | Summary: Measuring the solar neutrino flux over gigayear timescales could provide a new window to inform the Solar Standard Model as well as studies of the Earth’s long-term climate. We demonstrate the feasibility of measuring the time-evolution of the […]

Kavli Affiliate: Toshiya Namikawa | First 5 Authors: Toshiya Namikawa, Anirban Roy, Blake D. Sherwin, Nicholas Battaglia, David N. Spergel | Summary: We propose a new reionization probe that uses cosmic microwave background (CMB) observations; the cross-correlation between fluctuations in the CMB optical depth which probes the integrated electron density, $deltatau$, and the Compton $y$-map […]

Kavli Affiliate: Toshiya Namikawa | First 5 Authors: Ryo Nagata, Toshiya Namikawa, , , | Summary: Impacts of observational systematic errors on the lensing analysis of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarization are investigated by numerical simulations. We model errors of gain, angle, and pointing in observation of the CMB polarization and simulate polarization fields […]

Kavli Affiliate: Shunsaku Horiuchi | First 5 Authors: Deheng Song, Oscar Macias, Shunsaku Horiuchi, Roland M. Crocker, David M. Nataf | Summary: Millisecond pulsars are very likely the main source of gamma-ray emission from globular clusters. However, the relative contributions of two separate emission processes–curvature radiation from millisecond pulsar magnetospheres vs. inverse Compton emission from […]

Kavli Affiliate: Nobuhiko Katayama | First 5 Authors: Kenji Kiuchi, Shunsuke Adachi, Aamir M. Ali, Kam Arnold, Peter Ashton | Summary: The Simons Observatory (SO) is a cosmic microwave background (CMB) experiment from the Atacama Desert in Chile comprising three small-aperture telescopes (SATs) and one large-aperture telescope (LAT). In total, SO will field over 60,000 […]

Kavli Affiliate: Masahiro Kawasaki | First 5 Authors: Masahiro Kawasaki, Hiromasa Nakatsuka, , , | Summary: The recent report of NANOGrav is gathering attention since its signal can be explained by the stochastic gravitational waves (GWs) with $Omega_{rm GW}sim 10^{-9}$ at $fsim 10^{-8}$Hz. The PBH formation scenario is one of the candidates for the NANOGrav […]

Kavli Affiliate: John Silverman | First 5 Authors: Daizhong Liu, Emanuele Daddi, Eva Schinnerer, Toshiki Saito, Adam Leroy | Summary: We study the Carbon Monoxide (CO) excitation, mean molecular gas density and interstellar radiation field (ISRF) intensity in a comprehensive sample of 76 galaxies from local to high redshift (z~0-6), selected based on detections of […]
