Unveiling the Intrinsic Alignment of Galaxies with Self-calibration and DECaLS DR3 Data

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Huanyuan Shan

Galaxy intrinsic alignment (IA) is a source of both systematic contamination of cosmic shear measurement and its cosmological applications and valuable information on the large-scale structure of the universe and galaxy formation. The self-calibration (SC) ...

Probing the gravitational wave background from cosmic strings with LISA

Daniel Garcia Figueroa

Cosmic string networks offer one of the best prospects for detection of cosmological gravitational waves (GWs). The combined incoherent GW emission of a large number of string loops leads to a stochastic GW background (SGWB), which encodes the properties o ...

High-Throughput Nanocapillary Filling Enabled by Microwave Radiation for Scanning Ion Conductance Microscopy Imaging

Aleksandra Radenovic, Georg Fantner, Sanjin Marion, Vytautas Navikas, Sebastian James Davis, Samuel Mendes Leitão

Solid-state nanopores provide a highly sensitive tool for single-molecule sensing and probing nanofluidic effects in solutions. Glass nanopipettes are a cheap and robust type of solid-state nanopore produced from pulling glass capillaries with opening orif ...

Anytime Heuristic for Weighted Matching Through Altruism-Inspired Behavior

Boi Faltings, Aris Filos Ratsikas, Panayiotis Danassis

We present a novel anytime heuristic (ALMA), inspired by the human principle of altruism, for solving the assignment problem. ALMA is decentralized, completely uncoupled, and requires no communication between the participants. We prove an upper bound on th ...

Cosmological Constraints from Multiple Probes in the Dark Energy Survey

Mingkui Wang, Yi Zhang, Eduardo Sanchez, Jonathan Andrew Blazek

The combination of multiple observational probes has long been advocated as a powerful technique to constrain cosmological parameters, in particular dark energy. The Dark Energy Survey has measured 207 spectroscopically confirmed type Ia supernova light cu ...

DeepSphere: Efficient spherical convolutional neural network with HEALPix sampling for cosmological applications

Nathanaël Perraudin, Michaël Defferrard

Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are a cornerstone of the Deep Learning toolbox and have led to many breakthroughs in Artificial Intelligence. So far, these neural networks (NNs) have mostly been developed for regular Euclidean domains such as those su ...

DES Y1 Results: validating cosmological parameter estimation using simulated Dark Energy Surveys

Mingkui Wang, Eduardo Sanchez, Craig Matthew Smith, Jonathan Andrew Blazek, Augusto Martins Lima

We use mock galaxy survey simulations designed to resemble the Dark Energy Survey Year 1 (DES Y1) data to validate and inform cosmological parameter estimation. When similar analysis tools are applied to both simulations and real survey data, they provide ...

Exploring cosmic homogeneity with the BOSS DR12 galaxy sample

Timothée Guy Olivier Delubac

In this study, we probe the transition to cosmic homogeneity in the Large Scale Structure (LSS) of the Universe using the CMASS galaxy sample of BOSS spectroscopic survey which covers the largest effective volume to date, 3 h(-3) Gpc(3) at 0.43

Weak-lensing mass calibration of the Atacama Cosmology Telescope equatorial Sunyaev-Zeldovich cluster sample with the Canada-France-Hawaii telescope stripe 82 survey

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Huanyuan Shan

Mass calibration uncertainty is the largest systematic effect for using clusters of galaxies to constrain cosmological parameters. We present weak lensing mass measurements from the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope Stripe 82 Survey for galaxy clusters select ...

The extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey: a cosmological forecast

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Timothée Guy Olivier Delubac

We present a science forecast for the extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (eBOSS) survey. Focusing on discrete tracers, we forecast the expected accuracy of the baryonic acoustic oscillation (BAO), the redshift-space distortion (RSD) measureme ...
