Probing light relics through cosmic dawn

lesgourg/class_public 26 Sep 2023

We explore the prospects of upcoming 21-cm surveys of cosmic dawn ($12\lesssim \! z\lesssim\! 30$) to provide cosmological information on top of upcoming cosmic microwave background (CMB) and large-scale structure surveys, such as CMB-S4, Simons Observatory (SO) and DESI.

Atmospheric Reconnaissance of TRAPPIST-1 b with JWST/NIRISS: Evidence for Strong Stellar Contamination in the Transmission Spectra

dfm/emcee 13 Sep 2023

The two transmission spectra show moderate to strong evidence of contamination from unocculted stellar heterogeneities, which dominates the signal in both visits.

The buildup of galaxies and their spheroids: the contributions of mergers, disc instabilities and star formation

swiftsim/swiftsim 14 Jul 2022

Disc instabilities and their associated starbursts dominate for intermediate-mass spheroids ($10^{8. 5}<M_\mathrm{*, sph}<10^{11}$ M$_\odot$) at $z=0$.

Energy spectra of secondaries in proton-proton interactions

aafragpy/aafragpy 1 Oct 2021

We compare the predictions of AAfrag for the spectra of secondary photons, neutrinos, electrons, and positrons produced in proton-proton collisions to those of the parameterisations of Kamae et al., Kelner et al., and Kafexhiu et al. We find that the differences in the normalisation of the photon energy spectra reach 20$-$50% at intermediate values of the transferred energy fraction $x$, growing up to a factor of two for $x\rightarrow\,$1, while the differences in the neutrino spectra are even larger.
