Kavli Affiliate: Jeffrey J. McMahon | First 5 Authors: Joseph E. Golec, Jeffrey J. McMahon, Aamir M. Ali, Grace E. Chesmore, Leah Cooperrider | Summary: The Simons Observatory (SO) will be a cosmic microwave background (CMB) survey experiment with three small-aperture telescopes and one large-aperture telescope, which will observe from the Atacama Desert in Chile. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Roger W. Romani | First 5 Authors: Roger W. Romani, D. Kandel, Alexei V. Filippenko, Thomas G. Brink, WeiKang Zheng | Summary: Keck-telescope spectrophotometry of the companion of PSR J1810+1744 shows a flat, but asymmetric light-curve maximum and a deep, narrow minimum. The maximum indicates strong gravity darkening near the L_1 point, along […]
Kavli Affiliate: Huawei Zhang | First 5 Authors: Yang Huang, Haibo Yuan, Timothy C. Beers, Huawei Zhang, | Summary: We present an independent examination of the parallax zero-point of the Third Gaia Early Data Release (hereafter EDR3), using the LAMOST primary red clump (PRC) stellar sample. A median parallax offset of around $26 mu$as, slightly […]
Kavli Affiliate: Keith L. Thompson, Chao-Lin Kuo | First 5 Authors: Maria Salatino, Jason E. Austermann, Keith L. Thompson, Peter A. R. Ade, Xiran Bai | Summary: Ali CMB Polarization Telescope (AliCPT-1) is the first CMB degree-scale polarimeter to be deployed on the Tibetan plateau at 5,250m above sea level. AliCPT-1 is a 90/150 GHz […]

Ade, Xiran Bai | Summary: Ali CMB Polarization Telescope (AliCPT-1) is the first CMB degree-scale polarimeter to be deployed on the Tibetan plateau at 5,250m above sea level. AliCPT-1 is a 90/150 GHz 72 cm […]
Kavli Affiliate: Daniel R. Wilkins | First 5 Authors: Labani Mallick, Daniel R. Wilkins, William N. Alston, Alex Markowitz, Barbara De Marco | Summary: The scaling relations between the black hole (BH) mass and soft lag properties for both active galactic nuclei (AGNs) and BH X-ray binaries (BHXRBs) suggest the same underlying physical mechanism at […]

Kavli Affiliate: Adam B. Mantz | First 5 Authors: Jenny T. Wan, Adam B. Mantz, Jack Sayers, Steven W. Allen, R. Glenn Morris | Summary: We use a sample of 14 massive, dynamically relaxed galaxy clusters to constrain the Hubble Constant, $H_0$, by combining X-ray and Sunyaev-Zel’dovich (SZ) effect signals measured with Chandra, Planck and […]
Kavli Affiliate: Tom Abel | First 5 Authors: Daegene Koh, Tom Abel, Karsten Jedamzik, , | Summary: It has been recently claimed that primordial magnetic fields could relieve the cosmological Hubble tension. We consider the impact of such fields on the formation of the first cosmological objects, mini-halos forming stars, for present-day field strengths in […]
Kavli Affiliate: Wolfgang Tittel | First 5 Authors: Neil Sinclair, Daniel Oblak, Erhan Saglamyurek, Rufus L. Cone, Charles W. Thiel | Summary: We characterize the optical coherence and energy-level properties of the 795 nm $^3$H$_6$ to $^3$H$_4$ transition of Tm$^{3+}$ in a Ti$^{4+}$:LiNbO$_{3}$ waveguide at temperatures as low as 0.65 K. Coherence properties are measured […]
