Constraining Baryon Fractions in Galaxy Groups and Clusters with the First CHIME/FRB Outrigger

Kavli Affiliate: Kiyoshi W. Masui | First 5 Authors: Adam E. Lanman, Adam E. Lanman, , , | Summary: Fast radio bursts (FRBs) provide a sensitive probe of diffuse baryons: their dispersion measures (DMs) measure electron density independent of temperature and scale linearly with gas density. This makes them particularly well suited to studying the […]

Carnegie Supernova Project: Fast-Declining Type Ia Supernovae as Cosmological Distance Indicators

Kavli Affiliate: Wendy L. Freedman | First 5 Authors: M. M. Phillips, M. M. Phillips, , , | Summary: In this paper, the suitability of fast-declining Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) as cosmological standard candles is examined utilizing a Hubble Flow sample of 43 of these objects observed by the Carnegie Supernova Project (CSP). We […]

What’s the Buzz About GX 13+1? Constraining Coronal Geometry with QUEEN-BEE: A Bayesian Nested Sampling Framework for X-ray Polarization Rotation Analysis

Kavli Affiliate: Herman L. Marshall | First 5 Authors: Swati Ravi, Swati Ravi, , , | Summary: Observations from the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) have revealed electric vector position angle (EVPA) rotation in several neutron star low-mass X-ray binaries, including the galactic X-ray burster GX 13+1. We developed a novel Bayesian nested sampling framework-"Q-U […]

Machine Learning Assisted Parameter-Space Searches for Lensed Gravitational Waves

Kavli Affiliate: Wayne Hu | First 5 Authors: Giulia Campailla, Giulia Campailla, , , | Summary: When a gravitational wave encounters a massive object along the line of sight, repeated copies of the original signal may be produced due to gravitational lensing. In this paper, we develop a series of new machine-learning based statistical methods […]

A Spatial Gap in the Sky Distribution of Fast Radio Burst Detections Coinciding with Galactic Plasma Overdensities

Kavli Affiliate: Kiyoshi W. Masui | First 5 Authors: Swarali Shivraj Patil, Swarali Shivraj Patil, , , | Summary: We analyze the positional and morphological properties of about 3600 unique fast radio burst (FRB) sources reported in the second FRB catalog generated by the Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment (CHIME) telescope. We find a two-dimensional […]

Confinement, deconfinement, and bound states in the spin-$1$ and spin-$3/2$ generalizations of the Majumdar–Ghosh chain

Kavli Affiliate: Natalia Chepiga | First 5 Authors: Aman Sharma, Aman Sharma, , , | Summary: We investigate the nature of low-energy excitations in a spin chain with antiferrmomagnetic nearest-neighbor $J_1$, next-nearest-neighbor $J_2$, and three-site $J_3$ interactions using the time-dependent density matrix renormalization group and the single mode approximation techniques. In the absence of the […]
