The Atacama Cosmology Telescope: Reionization kSZ trispectrum methodology and limits

Kavli Affiliate: Toshiya Namikawa | First 5 Authors: Niall MacCrann, Frank J. Qu, Toshiya Namikawa, Boris Bolliet, Hongbo Cai | Summary: Patchy reionization generates kinematic Sunyaev-Zeldovich (kSZ) anisotropies in the cosmic microwave background (CMB). Large-scale velocity perturbations along the line of sight modulate the small-scale kSZ power spectrum, leading to a trispectrum (or four-point function) […]

Small Instanton Effects on Composite Axion Mass

Kavli Affiliate: Satoshi Shirai | First 5 Authors: Takafumi Aoki, Masahiro Ibe, Satoshi Shirai, Keiichi Watanabe, | Summary: This paper investigates the impact of small instanton effects on the axion mass in the composite accidental axion (CAA) models. These models are designed to address the axion quality problem, where QCD gauge symmetry is embedded as […]

Cosmological constraints from weak lensing scattering transform using HSC Y1 data

Kavli Affiliate: Jia Liu | First 5 Authors: Sihao Cheng, Gabriela A. Marques, Daniela Grandón, Leander Thiele, Masato Shirasaki | Summary: As weak lensing surveys go deeper, there is an increasing need for reliable characterization of non-Gaussian structures at small angular scales. Here we present the first cosmological constraints with weak lensing scattering transform, a […]

Cosmic Himalayas: The Highest Quasar Density Peak Identified in a 10,000 deg$^2$ Sky with Spatial Discrepancies between Galaxies, Quasars, and IGM HI

Kavli Affiliate: John D. Silverman | First 5 Authors: Yongming Liang, Masami Ouchi, Dongsheng Sun, Nobunari Kashikawa, Zheng Cai | Summary: We report the identification of a quasar overdensity in the BOSSJ0210 field, dubbed Cosmic Himalayas, consisting of 11 quasars at $z=2.16-2.20$, the densest overdensity of quasars ($17sigma$) in the $sim$10,000 deg$^2$ of the Sloan […]
