Black hole metamorphosis and stabilization by memory burden

Systems of enhanced memory capacity are subjected to a universal effect of memory burden, which suppresses their decay. In this paper, we study a prototype model to show that memory burden can be overcome by rewriting stored quantum information from one se ...

Probing non-Gaussian stochastic gravitational wave backgrounds with LISA

Daniel Garcia Figueroa, Valerie Fiona Domcke

The stochastic gravitational wave background (SGWB) contains a wealth of information on astrophysical and cosmological processes. A major challenge of upcoming years will be to extract the information contained in this background and to disentangle the con ...

Sloan Digital Sky Survey IV: Mapping the Milky Way, Nearby Galaxies, and the Distant Universe

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Zheng Zheng, Johan Comparat, Anand Stéphane Raichoor, David Schlegel, Timothée Guy Olivier Delubac, John Wilson, Chao Liu, Yuting Wang, Amy Jones, Hongyu Li, Cheng Li, Guillaume Blanc, Jiayi Sun, Meng Yang

We describe the Sloan Digital Sky Survey IV (SDSS-IV), a project encompassing three major spectroscopic programs. The Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment 2 (APOGEE-2) is observing hundreds of thousands of Milky Way stars at high resoluti ...

Signatures of the Primordial Universe from Its Emptiness: Measurement of Baryon Acoustic Oscillations from Minima of the Density Field

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Cheng Zhao, Yu Liang

Sound waves from the primordial fluctuations of the Universe imprinted in the large-scale structure, called baryon acoustic oscillations (BAOs), can be used as standard rulers to measure the scale of the Universe. These oscillations have already been detec ...

Prospective constraints on Lorentz violation from ultrahigh-energy photon detection

Sergey Sibiryakov

We point out that violation of Lorentz invariance affects the interaction of high-energy photons with the Earth's atmosphere and magnetic field. In a certain parameter region this interaction becomes suppressed and the photons escape observation, passing t ...

Constraints on primordial non-Gaussianity

Julien Lesgourgues, Fabio Finelli

The Planck nominal mission cosmic microwave background (CMB) maps yield unprecedented constraints on primordial non-Gaussianity (NG). Using three optimal bispectrum estimators, separable template-fitting (KSW), binned, and modal, we obtain consistent value ...

ORIGIN: metal creation and evolution from the cosmic dawn

Alexey Boyarsky, Douglas Cameron Watson, Oleg Ruchayskiy, Simone Campana

ORIGIN is a proposal for the M3 mission call of ESA aimed at the study of metal creation from the epoch of cosmic dawn. Using high-spectral resolution in the soft X-ray band, ORIGIN will be able to identify the physical conditions of all abundant elements ...
