Kavli Affiliate: Wendy Freedman | First 5 Authors: Wendy L. Freedman, , , , | Summary: The Carnegie Supernova Project (CSP) is aimed at providing an independent measure of change in the the Hubble expansion as a function of redshift, and setting constraints dark energy contribution to the total energy content of the universe. Using […]
Kavli Affiliate: Michael Gladders | First 5 Authors: Michael D. Gladders, Howard K. C. Yee, , , | Summary: The Red-Sequence Cluster Survey (RCS) is a $sim$100 square degree, two-filter imaging survey in the $R_C$ and $z’$ filters, designed primarily to locate and characterise galaxy clusters to redshifts as high as $z=1.4$. This paper provides […]
Kavli Affiliate: David Charbonneau | First 5 Authors: David Charbonneau, , , , | Summary: The Hubble Space Telescope is uniquely able to study planets that are observed to transit their parent stars. The extremely stable platform afforded by an orbiting spacecraft, free from the contaminating effects of the Earth’s atmosphere, enables HST to conduct […]
Kavli Affiliate: Marcela Carena | First 5 Authors: Marcela Carena, Ariel Megevand, Mariano Quiros, Carlos E. M. Wagner, | Summary: New fermions, strongly coupled to the Standard Model Higgs boson provide a well motivated extension of the Standard Model (SM). In this work we show that, once new physics at heavier scales is added to […]
Kavli Affiliate: Andrew P. Rasmussen | First 5 Authors: Thierry Lanz, Gisela A. Telis, Marc Audard, Frits Paerels, Andrew P. Rasmussen | Summary: We present a non-LTE model atmosphere analysis of Chandra HRC-S/LETG and XMM-Newton RGS spectroscopy of the prototypical supersoft source CAL 83 in the Large Magellanic Cloud. Taken with a 16-month interval, the […]

Kavli Affiliate: John Carlstrom | First 5 Authors: Erik M. Leitch, J. M. Kovac, N. W. Halverson, J. E. Carlstrom, C. Pryke | Summary: We present the analysis of the complete 3-year data set obtained with the Degree Angular Scale Interferometer (DASI) polarization experiment, operating from the Amundsen-Scott South Pole research station. Additional data obtained […]
Kavli Affiliate: Peter Michelson | First 5 Authors: Roger W. Romani, David Sowards-Emmerd, Lincoln Greenhill, Peter Michelson, | Summary: We report the discovery of a radio-loud flat-spectrum QSO at z=5.47 with properties similar to those of the EGRET gamma-ray blazars. This source is the brightest radio QSO at z>5, with a pc-scale radio jet and […]
Kavli Affiliate: Salman Habib | First 5 Authors: Salman Habib, , , , | Summary: A direct comparison of quantum and classical dynamical systems can be accomplished through the use of distribution functions. This is useful for both fundamental investigations such as the nature of the quantum-classical transition as well as for applications such as […]
Kavli Affiliate: Luca Grandi | First 5 Authors: R. Brunetti, E. Calligarich, M. Cambiaghi, F. Carbonara, A. Cocco | Summary: The WARP programme is a graded programme intended to search for cold Dark Matter in the form of WIMP’s. These particles may produce via weak interactions nuclear recoils in the energy range 10-100 keV. A […]
