Numerical simulations of stochastic inflation using importance sampling

22 Jun 2022

We show how importance sampling can be used to reconstruct the statistics of rare cosmological fluctuations in stochastic inflation.

Primordial non-Gaussianity and non-Gaussian Covariance

21 Jun 2022

We then consider these effects on the hydrogen bispectrum as observed from a PUMA-like 21-cm intensity mapping survey at redshifts $2<z<6$ and show that not including off-diagonal covariance over-predicts the constraining power on $f_{\rm NL}$ by up to a factor of $5$.

Exoplanet atmosphere retrievals in 3D using phase curve data with ARCiS: application to WASP-43b

20 Jun 2022

For the free chemistry retrievals, we retrieve abundances of H2O, CH4, CO, CO2, AlO, and NH3 as a function of phase, with many more species considered for the equilibrium chemistry retrievals.

The BlueTides Mock Image Catalogue: Simulated observations of high-redshift galaxies and predictions for JWST imaging surveys

17 Jun 2022

We predict that the COSMOS-Web survey will detect ~1000 MUV<-20. 1 mag galaxies at 6. 5<z<7. 5, by virtue of its large survey area.

Rotational Variation Allows for Narrow Age Spread in the Extended Main Sequence Turnoff of Massive Cluster NGC 1846

16 Jun 2022

In this paper, we compute continuous probability densities in three-dimensional color, magnitude, and vsini space for individual stars in a cluster's eMSTO, based on a rotating stellar evolution model.

The Frequency and Mass-Ratio Distribution of Binaries in Clusters I: Description of the method and application to M67

15 Jun 2022

We present a new method for probabilistic generative modelling of stellar colour-magnitude diagrams (CMDs) to infer the frequency of binary stars and their mass-ratio distribution.

CMB lensing from Planck PR4 maps

15 Jun 2022

We reconstruct the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) lensing potential on the latest Planck CMB PR4 (NPIPE) maps, which include slightly more data than the 2018 PR3 release, and implement quadratic estimators using more optimal filtering.

Investigation of stellar magnetic activity using variational autoencoder based on low-resolution spectroscopic survey

15 Jun 2022

We apply the variational autoencoder (VAE) to the LAMOST-K2 low-resolution spectra to detect the magnetic activity of the stars in the K2 field.
