Euclid: Early Release Observations – Dwarf galaxies in the Perseus galaxy cluster

Frédéric Courbin, Georges Meylan, Pascale Jablonka

We make use of the unprecedented depth, spatial resolution, and field of view of the Euclid Early Release Observations (EROs) of the Perseus galaxy cluster to detect and characterise the dwarf galaxy population in this massive system. Using a dedicated ann ...

Faces of cosmological polytopes

Leonid Monin

A cosmological polytope is a lattice polytope introduced by Arkani-Hamed, Benin-casa, and Postnikov in their study of the wavefunction of the universe in a class of cosmological models. More concretely, they construct a cosmological polytope for any Feynma ...

On the origin of star formation quenching in massive galaxies at z ≳ 3 in the cosmological simulations Illustris TNG

Michaela Hirschmann, Marion Nancy Amandine Farcy

Using the cosmological simulations IllustrisTNG, we perform a comprehensive analysis of quiescent, massive galaxies at z ≳ 3. The goal is to understand what suppresses their star formation so early in cosmic time, and how other similar mass galaxies remain ...

Modeling lens potentials with continuous neural fields in galaxy-scale strong lenses

Frédéric Courbin, Georgios Vernardos

Strong gravitational lensing is a unique observational tool for studying the dark and luminous mass distribution both within and between galaxies. Given the presence of substructures, current strong lensing observations demand more complex mass models than ...

Void BAO measurements on quasars from eBOSS

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Cheng Zhao, Amélie Tamone, Andrei Variu, Daniel Felipe Forero Sanchez

We present the clustering of voids based on the quasar (QSO) sample of the extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey Data Release 16 in configuration space. We define voids as overlapping empty circumspheres computed by Delaunay tetrahedra spanned b ...

Exploring and mapping the diffuse interstellar band at 862nm

Richard Irving Anderson, Shuangqing Liao, Mária Süveges, Pablo Jose Fernandez Marcos

Context. Di ffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) are common interstellar absorption features in spectroscopic observations but their origins remain unclear. DIBs play an important role in the life cycle of the interstellar medium (ISM) and can also be used to t ...

Time-delay estimation in unresolved lensed quasars

Georgios Vernardos

Time-delay cosmography can be used to infer the Hubble parameter H-0 by measuring the relative time delays between multiple images of gravitationally lensed quasars. A few of such systems have already been used to measure H-0: Their time delays were determ ...

TOCOSMO VIII. A key test of systematics in the hierarchical method of time-delay cosmography

Frédéric Courbin

The largest source of systematic errors in the time-delay cosmography method likely arises from the lens model mass distribution, where an inaccurate choice of model could in principle bias the value of H-0. A Bayesian hierarchical framework has been propo ...

Finding quadruply imaged quasars with machine learning - I. Methods

Cameron Alexander Campbell Lemon

Strongly lensed quadruply imaged quasars (quads) arc extraordinary objects. They arc very rare in the sky and yet they provide unique information about a wide range of topics, including the expansion history and the composition of the Universe, the distrib ...

Gaia Early Data Release 3 The celestial reference frame (Gaia-CRF3)

Richard Irving Anderson

Context. Gaia-CRF3 is the celestial reference frame for positions and proper motions in the third release of data from the Gaia mission, Gaia DR3 (and for the early third release, Gaia EDR3, which contains identical astrometric results). The reference fram ...

Axion assisted Schwinger effect

Valerie Fiona Domcke

We point out an enhancement of the pair production rate of charged fermions in a strong electric field in the presence of time dependent classical axion-like background field, which we call axion assisted Schwinger effect. While the standard Schwinger prod ...

H0LiCOW-XI. A weak lensing measurement of the external convergence in the field of the lensed quasar B1608+656 using HST and Subaru deep imaging

Frédéric Courbin, Georges Meylan, Vivien François Bonvin, David Richard Harvey, Austin Chandler Peel, Olga Tihhonova

We investigate the environment and line of sight (LoS) of the H0LiCOW (H-0 Lenses in COSMOGRAIL's Wellspring) lens B1608+656 using Subaru Suprime-Cam and the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) to perform a weak lensing analysis. We compare three different method ...

Optimal target assignment for massive spectroscopic surveys

Denis Gillet, Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Matin Macktoobian

Robotics have recently contributed to cosmological spectroscopy to automatically obtain the map of the observable universe using robotic fiber positioners. For this purpose, an assignment algorithm is required to assign each robotic fiber positioner to a t ...

Boosting the dark matter signal with Coulomb resonances

Rakhi Nandalal Mahbubani, Kin Shanho Eliaou Mimouni

We show that the presence of nearby Coulombic resonances at finite energy could lead to the enhancement of the dark matter annihilation cross section at specific non-zero velocities correlated with the mass splitting between the dark matter pair and that o ...

Molecular gas in radio galaxies in dense megaparsec-scale environments at z=0.4-2.6

Gianluca Castignani

Context. Low luminosity radio galaxies (LLRGs) typically reside in dense megaparsec-scale environments and are often associated with brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs). They are an excellent tool to study the evolution of molecular gas reservoirs in giant e ...

Flux Tube S-Matrix Bootstrap

João Miguel Augusto Penedones Fernandes, Aditya Hebbar

We bootstrap the S matrix of massless particles in unitary, relativistic two dimensional quantum field theories. We find that the low energy expansion of such S matrices is strongly constrained by the existence of a UV completion. In the context of flux tu ...
