Constraint on Early Dark Energy from Isotropic Cosmic Birefringence

Kavli Affiliate: Eiichiro Komatsu | First 5 Authors: Johannes R. Eskilt, Laura Herold, Eiichiro Komatsu, Kai Murai, Toshiya Namikawa | Summary: Polarization of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) is sensitive to new physics violating parity symmetry, such as the presence of a pseudoscalar "axionlike" field. Such a field may be responsible for early dark energy […]

EMPRESS. XII. Statistics on the Dynamics and Gas Mass Fraction of Extremely-Metal Poor Galaxies

Kavli Affiliate: Masahiro Kawasaki | First 5 Authors: Yi Xu, Masami Ouchi, Yuki Isobe, Kimihiko Nakajima, Shinobu Ozaki | Summary: We present demography of the dynamics and gas-mass fraction of 33 extremely metal-poor galaxies (EMPGs) with metallicities of $0.015-0.195~Z_odot$ and low stellar masses of $10^4-10^8~M_odot$ in the local universe. We conduct deep optical integral-field spectroscopy […]

Learning Optical Flow and Scene Flow with Bidirectional Camera-LiDAR Fusion

Kavli Affiliate: Jia Liu | First 5 Authors: Haisong Liu, Tao Lu, Yihui Xu, Jia Liu, Limin Wang | Summary: In this paper, we study the problem of jointly estimating the optical flow and scene flow from synchronized 2D and 3D data. Previous methods either employ a complex pipeline that splits the joint task into […]

Constraints on axion-like polarization oscillations in the cosmic microwave background with POLARBEAR

Kavli Affiliate: Nobuhiko Katayama | First 5 Authors: The POLARBEAR Collaboration, Shunsuke Adachi, Tylor Adkins, Kam Arnold, Carlo Baccigalupi | Summary: Very light pseudoscalar fields, often referred to as axions, are compelling dark matter candidates and can potentially be detected through their coupling to the electromagnetic field. Recently a novel detection technique using the cosmic […]

Nucleosynthesis in outflows of compact objects and detection prospects of associated kilonovae

Kavli Affiliate: Shunsaku Horiuchi | First 5 Authors: Nick Ekanger, Mukul Bhattacharya, Shunsaku Horiuchi, , | Summary: We perform a comparative analysis of nucleosynthesis yields from binary neutron star (BNS) mergers, black hole-neutron star (BHNS) mergers, and core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe) with the goal of determining which are the most dominant sources of r-process enrichment observed […]

Wide-gap CdTe Strip Detectors for High-Resolution Imaging in Hard X-rays

Kavli Affiliate: Tadayuki Takahashi | First 5 Authors: Shunsaku Nagasawa, Takahiro Minami, Shin Watanabe, Tadayuki Takahashi, | Summary: We propose a new strip configuration for CdTe X-ray detectors, named "Wide-gap CdTe strip detector", in which the gap between adjacent strips is much wider than the width of each strip. It has been known that the […]
