Kavli Affiliate: David N. Spergel | First 5 Authors: Francisco Villaescusa-Navarro, Jupiter Ding, Shy Genel, Stephanie Tonnesen, Valentina La Torre | Summary: Galaxies can be characterized by many internal properties such as stellar mass, gas metallicity, and star-formation rate. We quantify the amount of cosmological and astrophysical information that the internal properties of individual galaxies […]
Kavli Affiliate: David N. Spergel | First 5 Authors: Digvijay Wadekar, Leander Thiele, Francisco Villaescusa-Navarro, J. Colin Hill, Miles Cranmer | Summary: Complex systems (stars, supernovae, galaxies, and clusters) often exhibit low scatter relations between observable properties (e.g., luminosity, velocity dispersion, oscillation period, temperature). These scaling relations can illuminate the underlying physics and can provide […]
Kavli Affiliate: David N. Spergel | First 5 Authors: Francisco Villaescusa-Navarro, Shy Genel, Daniel Anglés-Alcázar, Lucia A. Perez, Pablo Villanueva-Domingo | Summary: The Cosmology and Astrophysics with MachinE Learning Simulations (CAMELS) project was developed to combine cosmology with astrophysics through thousands of cosmological hydrodynamic simulations and machine learning. CAMELS contains 4,233 cosmological simulations, 2,049 N-body […]
Kavli Affiliate: Misao Sasaki | First 5 Authors: Yi-Fu Cai, Xiao-Han Ma, Misao Sasaki, Dong-Gang Wang, Zihan Zhou | Summary: We report a novel prediction from single-field inflation that even a tiny step in the inflaton potential can change our perception of primordial non-Gaussianities of the curvature perturbation. Our analysis focuses on the tail of […]
Kavli Affiliate: Satoshi Shirai | First 5 Authors: Hajime Fukuda, Satoshi Shirai, , , | Summary: The QCD axion is a promising candidate of the dark matter. In this paper, we discuss elastic scattering processes between nucleons and the QCD axion dark matter. We point out that the cross section can be enhanced by more […]
Kavli Affiliate: Misao Sasaki | First 5 Authors: Shi Pi, Misao Sasaki, , , | Summary: In the curvaton scenario, the curvature perturbation is generated after inflation at the curvaton decay, which may have a prominent non-Gaussian effect. For a model with a non-trivial kinetic term, an enhanced curvature perturbation on a small scale can […]

Kavli Affiliate: Misao Sasaki | First 5 Authors: Chul-Moon Yoo, Tomohiro Harada, Shin’ichi Hirano, Hirotada Okawa, Misao Sasaki | Summary: We numerically study the primordial black hole (PBH) formation by an isocurvature perturbation of a massless scalar field on super Hubble scales in the radiation-dominated universe. As a first step we perform simulations of spherically […]
Kavli Affiliate: Eiichiro Komatsu | First 5 Authors: Laura Herold, Elisa G. M. Ferreira, Eiichiro Komatsu, , | Summary: A dark energy-like component in the early universe, known as early dark energy (EDE), is a proposed solution to the Hubble tension. Currently, there is no consensus in the literature as to whether EDE can simultaneously […]
Kavli Affiliate: Satoshi Shirai | First 5 Authors: Masahiro Ibe, Shin Kobayashi, Yuhei Nakayama, Satoshi Shirai, | Summary: We discuss cosmological constraints on a dark scalar particle mixing with the Standard Model Higgs boson. We pay particular attention to the dark scalar production process when the reheating temperature of the Universe is very low, which […]
