Heuristic Estimation of the Vacuum Energy Density of the Universe: Part II-Analysis Based on Frequency Domain Electromagnetic Radiation

In Part I of this paper, an inequality satisfied by the vacuum energy density of the universe was derived using an indirect and heuristic procedure. The derivation is based on a proposed thought experiment, according to which an electron is accelerated to ...

An Atlas of Color-selected Quiescent Galaxies at z > 3 in Public JWST Fields

Michaela Hirschmann, Minju Lee

We present the results of a systematic search for candidate quiescent galaxies in the distant universe in 11 JWST fields with publicly available observations collected during the first 3 months of operations and covering an effective sky area of similar to ...

Strong gravitational lensing by AGNs as a probe of the quasar-host relations in the distant Universe

Frédéric Courbin, Malte Tewes, Martin Raoul Robert Millon, Aymeric Alexandre Galan

A rare case of a quasar acting as a gravitational lens allows a precise determination of the mass of the quasar's host galaxy and offers a new path to studying the connections between supermassive black holes and their host galaxies. ...

CEERS Key Paper. VI. JWST/MIRI Uncovers a Large Population of Obscured AGN at High Redshifts

Michaela Hirschmann

Mid-infrared (mid-IR) observations are powerful in identifying heavily obscured active galactic nuclei (AGN) that have weak emission in other wavelengths. Data from the Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) on board the James Webb Space Telescope provides an exce ...

CosmoLattice: A modern code for lattice simulations of scalar and gauge field dynamics in an expanding universe

Daniel Garcia Figueroa, Adrien Florio, Wessel Valkenburg, Francisco Torrenti

This paper describes CosmoGattice, a modern package for lattice simulations of the dynamics of interacting scalar and gauge fields in an expanding universe. CosmoGattice incorporates a series of features that makes it very versatile and powerful: i) it is ...

Uncovering a population of gravitational lens galaxies with magnified standard candle SN Zwicky

Rémy Elie Joseph, Cameron Alexander Campbell Lemon, Johan Richard, Johannes Richard Cornelis Geerit Kruis

Detecting gravitationally lensed supernovae is among the biggest challenges in astronomy. It involves a combination of two very rare phenomena: catching the transient signal of a stellar explosion in a distant galaxy and observing it through a nearly perfe ...

The ellipticity parameterization for an NFW profile: An overlooked angular structure in strong lens modeling

Frédéric Courbin

Galaxy-scale gravitational lenses are often modeled with two-component mass profiles where one component represents the stellar mass and the second is a Navarro Frenk White (NFW) profile representing the dark matter. Outside of the spherical case, the NFW ...

LensWatch. I. Resolved HST Observations and Constraints on the Strongly Lensed Type Ia Supernova 2022qmx ("SN Zwicky")

Frédéric Courbin, Adriano Agnello

Supernovae (SNe) that have been multiply imaged by gravitational lensing are rare and powerful probes for cosmology. Each detection is an opportunity to develop the critical tools and methodologies needed as the sample of lensed SNe increases by orders of ...

Strong and micro lensing in distant quasars

Eric Gérard Guy Paic

Most large galaxies contain Super Massive Black Holes at their centers, drawing matter nearby to form swirling accretion disks emitting electromagnetic radiation. These are Active Galactic Nuclei. The brightest quasars are the most luminous Universe object ...

The art of simulating the early universe. Part I. Integration techniques and canonical cases

Daniel Garcia Figueroa, Adrien Florio, Wessel Valkenburg, Francisco Torrenti

We present a comprehensive discussion on lattice techniques for the simulation of scalar and gauge field dynamics in an expanding universe. After reviewing the continuum formulation of scalar and gauge field interactions in Minkowski and FLRW backgrounds, ...
