", "abstract": "We study star formation histories (SFHs) of 500 dwarf galaxies (stellar mass M\u2217=10\u2075\u221210\u2079 M_\u2299\u2060) from FIRE-2 cosmological zoom-in simulations. We compare dwarfs around individual Milky Way (MW)-mass galaxies, dwarfs in Local Group (LG)-like environments, and true field (i.e. isolated) dwarf galaxies. We reproduce observed trends wherein higher mass dwarfs quench later (if at all), regardless of environment. We also identify differences between the environments, both in terms of 'satellite versus central' and 'LG versus individual MW versus isolated dwarf central.' Around the individual MW-mass hosts, we recover the result expected from environmental quenching: central galaxies in the 'near field' have more extended SFHs than their satellite counterparts, with the former more closely resemble isolated (true field) dwarfs (though near-field centrals are still somewhat earlier forming). However, this difference is muted in the LG-like environments, where both near-field centrals and satellites have similar SFHs, which resemble satellites of single MW-mass hosts. This distinction is strongest for M* = 10\u2076\u201310\u2077M\u2299 but exists at other masses. Our results suggest that the paired halo nature of the LG may regulate star formation in dwarf galaxies even beyond the virial radii of the MW and Andromeda. Caution is needed when comparing zoom-in simulations targeting isolated dwarf galaxies against observed dwarf galaxies in the LG.", "date": "2019-11", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society", "volume": "489", "number": "4", "publisher": "Royal Astronomical Society", "pagerange": "4574-4588", "id_number": "CaltechAUTHORS:20191025-090648233", "issn": "0035-8711", "official_url": "https://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechAUTHORS:20191025-090648233", "rights": "No commercial reproduction, distribution, display or performance rights in this work are provided.", "funders": { "items": [ { "agency": "NSF", "grant_number": "PHY-1607611" }, { "agency": "NASA Einstein Fellowship", "grant_number": "PF5-160136" }, { "agency": "NASA", "grant_number": "NAS8-03060" }, { "agency": "NASA", "grant_number": "80NSSC18K0562" }, { "agency": "NASA", "grant_number": "80NSSC18K1097" }, { "agency": "NASA", "grant_number": "HST-GO-12914" }, { "agency": "NASA", "grant_number": "HST-GO-14734" }, { "agency": "NASA", "grant_number": "HST-GO-14191" }, { "agency": "NASA", "grant_number": "HST-AR-13888" }, { "agency": "NASA", "grant_number": "HST-AR-13896" }, { "agency": "NASA", "grant_number": "HST-AR-13921" }, { "agency": "NASA", "grant_number": "HST-AR-14282" }, { "agency": "NASA", "grant_number": "HST-AR-14554" }, { "agency": "NASA", "grant_number": "HST-AR-15006" }, { "agency": "NASA", "grant_number": "HST-AR-15057" }, { "agency": "JPL", "grant_number": "1589742" }, { "agency": "NASA", "grant_number": "NNX17AG29G" }, { "agency": "NASA", "grant_number": "NNX15AB22G" }, { "agency": "NASA", "grant_number": "17-ATP17-0067" }, { "agency": "Space Telescope Science Institute" }, { "agency": "Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy (AURA)" }, { "agency": "NASA", "grant_number": "NAS5-26555" }, { "agency": "NSF", "grant_number": "AST-1455342" }, { "agency": "NSF", "grant_number": "AST-1752913" }, { "agency": "NSF", "grant_number": "AST-1652522" }, { "agency": "NSF", "grant_number": "AST-1715847" }, { "agency": "NSF", "grant_number": "AST-1517226" }, { "agency": "NSF", "grant_number": "AST-1517491" }, { "agency": "NSF", "grant_number": "AST-1518291" }, { "agency": "NSF", "grant_number": "AST-1715101" }, { "agency": "NSF", "grant_number": "AST-1715216" }, { "agency": "NSF Graduate Research Fellowship" }, { "agency": "Caltech Moore Center for Theoretical Cosmology and Physics" }, { "agency": "Alfred P.

", "abstract": "We investigate the lowest-mass quiescent galaxies known to exist in isolated environments (M* = 10^(9.0-9.5) M\u2299); 1.5 Mpc from a more massive galaxy). This population may represent the lowest stellar mass galaxies in which internal feedback quenches galaxy-wide star formation. We present a Keck/Echelle Spectrograph and Imager long-slit spectroscopy for 27 isolated galaxies in this regime (20 quiescent galaxies and 7 star-forming galaxies). We measure emission line strengths as a function of radius and place galaxies on the Baldwin\u2013Phillips\u2013Terlevich (BPT) diagram. Remarkably, 16 of 20 quiescent galaxies in our sample host central active galactic nucleus (AGN)-like line ratios. Only five of these quiescent galaxies were identified as AGN-like in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey due to a lower spatial resolution and signal-to-noise ratio. We find that many of the quiescent galaxies in our sample have spatially extended emission across the non-star-forming regions of BPT-space. While quenched galaxies in denser environments in this mass range often show no evidence for AGN activity, a significant fraction of quiescent galaxies in isolation host AGNs despite their overall passive appearances.", "date": "2019-10-20", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Astrophysical Journal", "volume": "884", "number": "2", "publisher": "American Astronomical Society", "pagerange": "Art.

", "abstract": "We present a new set of high-resolution hydrodynamic cosmological zoom-in simulations that apply the Feedback In Realistic Environments physics to both Local Group (LG)-like and isolated Milky Way (MW)-like volumes (10 host systems in total with a baryonic particle mass \u22433500\u22127000M\u2060). We study the stellar mass functions, circular velocity or mass profiles, and velocity dispersions of the dwarf galaxy populations. The simulations reproduce the stellar mass function and central densities of MW satellite dwarfs for M\u2217\u226510^(5.5) M\u2299 and predict the existence of \u223c3 unidentified galaxies with M\u2217\u223c10^5M\u2299 within 300 kpc of the MW. Overall, we find no evidence for the classical missing satellites or too-big-to-fail (TBTF) problems for satellite galaxies in our sample. Among the satellites, TBTF is resolved primarily by subhalo disruption and overall mass-loss; central density profiles of subhaloes are of secondary importance. For non-satellite galaxies, our LG-like simulations predict as many as \u223c10 as-of-yet unseen galaxies at distances 0.3\u22121Mpc from both hosts, with M\u2217\u224310^(5\u22126) M\u2299 (in haloes with V_(max) \u223c 20 km\u2009s^(\u22121)), albeit with large halo-to-halo variance.

", "abstract": "We use hydrodynamic cosmological zoom-in simulations from the Feedback in Realistic Environments project to explore the morphologies and kinematics of 15 Milky Way (MW)-mass galaxies. Our sample ranges from compact, bulge-dominated systems with 90 per\u2009cent of their stellar mass within 2.5\u2009kpc to well-ordered discs that reach \u227315\u2009kpc. The gas in our galaxies always forms a thin, rotation-supported disc at z = 0, with sizes primarily determined by the gas mass. For stars, we quantify kinematics and morphology both via the fraction of stars on disc-like orbits and with the radial extent of the stellar disc. In this mass range, stellar morphology and kinematics are poorly correlated with the properties of the halo available from dark matter-only simulations (halo merger history, spin, or formation time). They more strongly correlate with the gaseous histories of the galaxies: those that maintain a high gas mass in the disc after z \u223c 1 develop well-ordered stellar discs. The best predictor of morphology we identify is the spin of the gas in the halo at the time the galaxy formed 1/2 of its stars (i.e. the gas that builds the galaxy). High-z mergers, before a hot halo emerges, produce some of the most massive bulges in the sample (from compact discs in gas-rich mergers), while later-forming bulges typically originate from internal processes, as satellites are stripped of gas before the galaxies merge. Moreover, most stars in z = 0 MW-mass galaxies (even z = 0 bulge stars) form in a disc: \u227360--90 per cent of stars begin their lives rotationally supported.", "date": "2018-12-11", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society", "volume": "481", "number": "3", "publisher": "Royal Astronomical Society", "pagerange": "4133-4157", "id_number": "CaltechAUTHORS:20181205-145100415", "issn": "0035-8711", "official_url": "https://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechAUTHORS:20181205-145100415", "rights": "No commercial reproduction, distribution, display or performance rights in this work are provided.", "funders": { "items": [ { "agency": "NASA Einstein Fellowship", "grant_number": "PF5-160136" }, { "agency": "NASA", "grant_number": "NAS8-03060" }, { "agency": "Alfred P.

", "abstract": "We use cosmological hydrodynamical simulations of Milky Way\u2013mass galaxies from the FIRE project to evaluate various strategies for estimating the mass of a galaxy's stellar halo from deep, integrated-light images. We find good agreement with integrated-light observations if we mimic observational methods to measure the mass of the stellar halo by selecting regions of an image via projected radius relative to the disk scale length or by their surface density in stellar mass. However, these observational methods systematically underestimate the accreted stellar component, defined in our (and most) simulations as the mass of stars formed outside of the host galaxy, by up to a factor of 10, since the accreted component is centrally concentrated and therefore substantially obscured by the galactic disk. Furthermore, these observational methods introduce spurious dependencies of the estimated accreted stellar component on the stellar mass and size of galaxies that can obscure the trends in accreted stellar mass predicted by cosmological simulations, since we find that in our simulations, the size and shape of the central galaxy are not strongly correlated with the assembly history of the accreted stellar halo. This effect persists whether galaxies are viewed edge-on or face-on. We show that metallicity or color information may provide a way to more cleanly delineate in observations the regions dominated by accreted stars.

In particular, we investigate its properties as both a quantum channel and entanglement witness. We define protocols that allow either the bounding of the channel's entanglement capacity or the determination of aspects of the entanglement structure between the two boundary CFTs. Such protocols and connections allow for the use of quantum channel techniques in the study of gravitational physics and vice versa. More generally, our results suggest a purely quantum information-theoretic criterion for recognizing when the product of two boundary theories has a classical bulk interpretation.", "date": "2018-11", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Journal of High Energy Physics", "volume": "2018", "number": "11", "publisher": "Springer", "pagerange": "Art.

", "abstract": "The Feedback In Realistic Environments (FIRE) project explores feedback in cosmological galaxy formation simulations. Previous FIRE simulations used an identical source code (\"FIRE-1\") for consistency. Motivated by the development of more accurate numerics \u2013 including hydrodynamic solvers, gravitational softening, and supernova coupling algorithms \u2013 and exploration of new physics (e.g. magnetic fields), we introduce \"FIRE-2\", an updated numerical implementation of FIRE physics for the GIZMO code. We run a suite of simulations and compare against FIRE-1: overall, FIRE-2 improvements do not qualitatively change galaxy-scale properties. We pursue an extensive study of numerics versus physics. Details of the star-formation algorithm, cooling physics, and chemistry have weak effects, provided that we include metal-line cooling and star formation occurs at higher-than-mean densities. We present new resolution criteria for high-resolution galaxy simulations. Most galaxy-scale properties are robust to numerics we test, provided: (1) Toomre masses are resolved; (2) feedback coupling ensures conservation, and (3) individual supernovae are time-resolved. Stellar masses and profiles are most robust to resolution, followed by metal abundances and morphologies, followed by properties of winds and circum-galactic media (CGM). Central (\u223ckpc) mass concentrations in massive (>L*) galaxies are sensitive to numerics (via trapping/recycling of winds in hot halos). Multiple feedback mechanisms play key roles: supernovae regulate stellar masses/winds; stellar mass-loss fuels late star formation; radiative feedback suppresses accretion onto dwarfs and instantaneous star formation in disks.

", "abstract": "We investigate the merger histories of isolated dwarf galaxies based on a suite of 15 high-resolution cosmological zoom-in simulations, all with masses of M_(halo) \u2248 10^(10) M\u2299 (and M\u22c6\u223c10^5\u221210^7 M_\u2299) at z = 0, from the Feedback in Realistic Environments project. The stellar populations of these dwarf galaxies at z = 0 are formed essentially entirely 'in situ': over 90\npercent of the stellar mass is formed in the main progenitor in all but two cases, and all 15 of the galaxies have >70 percent of their stellar mass formed in situ. Virtually all galaxy mergers occur prior to z \u223c 3, meaning that accreted stellar populations are ancient. On average, our simulated dwarfs undergo five galaxy mergers in their lifetimes, with typical pre-merger galaxy mass ratios that are less than 1:10. This merger frequency is generally comparable to what has been found in dissipationless simulations when coupled with abundance matching. Two of the simulated dwarfs have a luminous satellite companion at z= 0. These ultra-faint dwarfs lie at or below current detectability thresholds but are intriguing targets for next-generation facilities.

", "abstract": "We measure how the properties of star-forming central galaxies correlate with large-scale environment, \u03b4, measured on 10 h^(\u22121)\u2009Mpc scales. We use galaxy group catalogues to isolate a robust sample of central galaxies with high purity and completeness. The galaxy properties we investigate are star formation rate (SFR), exponential disc scale length R_(exp), and Sersic index of the galaxy light profile, n_S. We find that, at all stellar masses, there is an inverse correlation between SFR and \u03b4, meaning that above-average star-forming centrals live in underdense regions. For n_S and R_(exp), there is no correlation with \u03b4 at M* \u2272 10^(10.5)M\u2299, but at higher masses there are positive correlations; a weak correlation with R_(exp) and a strong correlation with n_S. These data are evidence of assembly bias within the star-forming population. The results for SFR are consistent with a model in which SFR correlates with present-day halo accretion rate, M_h. In this model, galaxies are assigned to haloes using the abundance-matching ansatz, which maps galaxy stellar mass onto halo mass. At fixed halo mass, SFR is then assigned to galaxies using the same approach, but \nM_h is used to map onto SFR. The best-fitting model requires some scatter in the M_h\n\u2013SFR relation. The R_(exp) and n_S measurements are consistent with a model in which both of these quantities are correlated with the spin parameter of the halo, \u03bb. Halo spin does not correlate with \u03b4 at low halo masses, but for higher mass haloes, high-spin haloes live in higher density environments at fixed M_h. Put together with the earlier instalments of this series, these data demonstrate that quenching processes have limited correlation with halo formation history, but the growth of active galaxies, as well as other detailed galaxies properties, are influenced by the details of halo assembly.", "date": "2018-08-21", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society", "volume": "478", "number": "4", "publisher": "Royal Astronomical Society", "pagerange": "4487-4499", "id_number": "CaltechAUTHORS:20180829-110132653", "issn": "0035-8711", "official_url": "https://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechAUTHORS:20180829-110132653", "rights": "No commercial reproduction, distribution, display or performance rights in this work are provided.", "funders": { "items": [ { "agency": "NSF", "grant_number": "AST-1615997" }, { "agency": "Caltech-Carnegie Fellowship" }, { "agency": "Moore Center for Theoretical Cosmology and Physics, Caltech" }, { "agency": "NASA", "grant_number": "HST-GO-14734" } ] }, "local_group": { "items": [ { "id": "TAPIR" }, { "id": "Moore-Center-for-Theoretical-Cosmology-and-Physics" } ] }, "doi": "10.1093/mnras/sty1263", "primary_object": { "basename": "1705.08458.pdf", "url": "https://authors.library.caltech.edu/records/83w9g-ps112/files/1705.08458.pdf" }, "related_objects": [ { "basename": "sty1263.pdf", "url": "https://authors.library.caltech.edu/records/83w9g-ps112/files/sty1263.pdf" } ], "pub_year": "2018", "author_list": "Tinker, Jeremy L.; Hahn, ChangHoon; et el." }, { "id": "https://authors.library.caltech.edu/records/dxa4p-wxh94", "eprint_id": 86439, "eprint_status": "archive", "datestamp": "2023-08-19 10:32:38", "lastmod": "2023-10-18 19:35:42", "type": "article", "metadata_visibility": "show", "creators": { "items": [ { "id": "Chan-Tsang-Keung", "name": { "family": "Chan", "given": "T.

", "abstract": "We test if the cosmological zoom-in simulations of isolated galaxies from the FIRE project reproduce the properties of ultra diffuse galaxies (UDGs). We show that outflows that dynamically heat galactic stars, together with a passively aging stellar population after imposed quenching, naturally reproduce the observed population of red UDGs, without the need for high spin halos, or dynamical influence from their host cluster. We reproduce the range of surface brightness, radius and absolute magnitude of the observed red UDGs by quenching simulated galaxies at a range of different times. They represent a mostly uniform population of dark matter-dominated dwarf galaxies with M* \u223c 10^8\u2009M\u2299, low metallicity and a broad range of ages; the more massive the UDGs, the older they are. The most massive red UDG in our sample (M* \u223c 3 \u00d7 10^8M\u2299) requires quenching at z \u223c 3 when its halo reached M_h \u223c 10^(11)\u2009M\u2299. Our simulated UDGs form with normal stellar-to-halo ratios and match the central enclosed masses and the velocity dispersions of the observed UDGs. Enclosed masses remain largely fixed across a broad range of quenching times because the central regions of their dark matter halos complete their growth early. If our simulated dwarfs are not quenched, they evolve into bluer low-surface brightness galaxies with M/L similar to observed field dwarfs. While our simulation sample covers a limited range of formation histories and halo masses, we predict that UDG is a common, and perhaps even dominant, galaxy type around M* \u223c 10^8\u2009M\u2299, both in the field and in clusters.", "date": "2018-07-21", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society", "volume": "478", "number": "1", "publisher": "Royal Astronomical Society", "pagerange": "906-925", "id_number": "CaltechAUTHORS:20180517-101404866", "issn": "0035-8711", "official_url": "https://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechAUTHORS:20180517-101404866", "rights": "No commercial reproduction, distribution, display or performance rights in this work are provided.", "funders": { "items": [ { "agency": "NSF", "grant_number": "AST-1412153" }, { "agency": "NSF", "grant_number": "AST-1715101" }, { "agency": "Research Corporation" }, { "agency": "Caltech-Carnegie Fellowship" }, { "agency": "Caltech Moore Center for Theoretical Cosmology and Physics" }, { "agency": "NASA", "grant_number": "HST-GO-14734" }, { "agency": "NASA", "grant_number": "HST-AR-15057" }, { "agency": "Alfred P.

", "abstract": "We study the implementation of mechanical feedback from supernovae (SNe) and stellar mass loss in galaxy simulations, within the Feedback In Realistic Environments (FIRE) project. We present the FIRE-2 algorithm for coupling mechanical feedback, which can be applied to any hydrodynamics method (e.g. fixed-grid, moving-mesh, and mesh-less methods), and black hole as well as stellar feedback. This algorithm ensures manifest conservation of mass, energy, and momentum, and avoids imprinting 'preferred directions' on the ejecta. We show that it is critical to incorporate both momentum and thermal energy of mechanical ejecta in a self-consistent manner, accounting for SNe cooling radii when they are not resolved. Using idealized simulations of single SN explosions, we show that the FIRE-2 algorithm, independent of resolution, reproduces converged solutions in both energy and momentum. In contrast, common 'fully thermal' (energy-dump) or 'fully kinetic' (particle-kicking) schemes in the literature depend strongly on resolution: when applied at mass resolution \u2273100\u2009M\u2299, they diverge by orders of magnitude from the converged solution. In galaxy-formation simulations, this divergence leads to orders-of-magnitude differences in galaxy properties, unless those models are adjusted in a resolution-dependent way.

", "abstract": "We discuss the branching structure of the quantum-gravitational wave function that describes the evaporation of a black hole. A global wave function which initially describes a classical Schwarzschild geometry is continually decohered into distinct semiclassical branches by the emission of Hawking radiation. The laws of quantum mechanics dictate that the wave function evolves unitarily, but this unitary evolution is only manifest when considering the global description of the wave function; it is not implemented by time evolution on a single semiclassical branch. Conversely, geometric notions like the position or smoothness of a horizon only make sense on the level of individual branches. We consider the implications of this picture for probes of black holes by classical observers in definite geometries, like those involved in the Almheiri-Marolf-Polchinski-Sully construction. We argue that individual branches can describe semiclassical geometries free of firewalls, even as the global wave function evolves unitarily. We show that the pointer states of infalling detectors that are robust under Hamiltonian evolution are distinct from, and incompatible with, those of exterior detectors stationary with respect to the black hole horizon, in the sense that the pointer bases are related to each other via nontrivial transformations that mix the system, apparatus, and environment. This result describes a Hilbert-space version of black hole complementarity.", "date": "2018-06-15", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Physical Review D", "volume": "97", "number": "12", "publisher": "American Physical Society", "pagerange": "Art.

", "abstract": "Using group catalogues from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Data Release 7, we measure galactic conformity in the local universe. We measure the quenched fraction of neighbour galaxies around isolated primary galaxies, dividing the isolated sample into star-forming and quiescent objects. We restrict our measurements to scales >1\u2009Mpc to probe the correlations between halo formation histories. Over the stellar mass range 10^(9.7) \u2264 M*/M\u2299 \u2264 10^(10.9), we find minimal evidence for conformity. We further compare these data to predictions of the halo age-matching model, in which the oldest galaxies are associated with the oldest haloes. For models with strong correlations between halo and stellar age, the conformity is too large to be consistent with the data. Weaker implementations of the age-matching model would not produce a detectable signal in SDSS data. We reproduce the results of Kauffmann et al., in which the star formation rates of neighbour galaxies are reduced around primary galaxies when the primaries are low star formers. However, we find this result is mainly driven by contamination in the isolation criterion; when removing the small fraction of satellite galaxies in the sample, the conformity signal largely goes away. Lastly, we show that small conformity signals, i.e. 2\u20135\u2009per\u2009cent differences in the quenched fractions of neighbour galaxies, can be produced by mechanisms other than halo assembly bias. For example, if passive galaxies occupy more massive haloes than star-forming galaxies of the same stellar mass, a conformity signal that is consistent with recent measurements from PRIMUS (Berti et al.) can be produced.", "date": "2018-06-11", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society", "volume": "477", "number": "1", "publisher": "Royal Astronomical Society", "pagerange": "935-945", "id_number": "CaltechAUTHORS:20180606-105527709", "issn": "0035-8711", "official_url": "https://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechAUTHORS:20180606-105527709", "rights": "No commercial reproduction, distribution, display or performance rights in this work are provided.", "funders": { "items": [ { "agency": "Caltech-Carnegie Fellowship" }, { "agency": "Caltech Moore Center for Theoretical Cosmology and Physics" } ] }, "local_group": { "items": [ { "id": "TAPIR" }, { "id": "Moore-Center-for-Theoretical-Cosmology-and-Physics" } ] }, "doi": "10.1093/mnras/sty666", "primary_object": { "basename": "1702.01121.pdf", "url": "https://authors.library.caltech.edu/records/w3zpk-wgf80/files/1702.01121.pdf" }, "related_objects": [ { "basename": "sty666.pdf", "url": "https://authors.library.caltech.edu/records/w3zpk-wgf80/files/sty666.pdf" } ], "pub_year": "2018", "author_list": "Tinker, Jeremy L.; Hahn, ChangHoon; et el." }, { "id": "https://authors.library.caltech.edu/records/4wzx1-1wr74", "eprint_id": 86741, "eprint_status": "archive", "datestamp": "2023-08-19 09:40:34", "lastmod": "2023-10-18 19:57:27", "type": "article", "metadata_visibility": "show", "creators": { "items": [ { "id": "Nadler-E-O", "name": { "family": "Nadler", "given": "Ethan O." }, "orcid": "0000-0002-1182-3825" }, { "id": "Mao-Yao-Yuan", "name": { "family": "Mao", "given": "Yao-Yuan" }, "orcid": "0000-0002-1200-0820" }, { "id": "Wechsler-R-H", "name": { "family": "Wechsler", "given": "Risa H." }, "orcid": "0000-0003-2229-011X" }, { "id": "Garrison-Kimmel-S", "name": { "family": "Garrison-Kimmel", "given": "Shea" }, "orcid": "0000-0002-4655-8128" }, { "id": "Wetzel-A-R", "name": { "family": "Wetzel", "given": "Andrew" }, "orcid": "0000-0003-0603-8942" } ] }, "title": "Modeling the Impact of Baryons on Subhalo Populations with Machine Learning", "ispublished": "pub", "full_text_status": "public", "keywords": "dark matter \u2013 galaxies: abundances \u2013 galaxies: halos \u2013 methods: numerical", "note": "\u00a9 2018 The American Astronomical Society. \n\nReceived 2017 December 12; revised 2018 April 12; accepted 2018 May 1; published 2018 June 1. \n\nWe have made our code and trained classifier publicly available at github.com/ollienad/subhalo_randomforest; please contact the authors with data requests.

We train our classifier using five properties of each disrupted and surviving subhalo: pericentric distance and scale factor at first pericentric passage after accretion and scale factor, virial mass, and maximum circular velocity at accretion. Our five-property classifier identifies disrupted subhalos in the FIRE simulations with an 85% out-of-bag classification score. We predict surviving subhalo populations in DMO simulations of the FIRE host halos, finding excellent agreement with the hydrodynamic results; in particular, our classifier outperforms DMO zoom-in simulations that include the gravitational potential of the central galactic disk in each hydrodynamic simulation, indicating that it captures both the dynamical effects of a central disk and additional baryonic physics. We also predict surviving subhalo populations for a suite of DMO zoom-in simulations of MW-mass host halos, finding that baryons impact each system consistently and that the predicted amount of subhalo disruption is larger than the host-to-host scatter among the subhalo populations. Although the small size and specific baryonic physics prescription of our training set limits the generality of our results, our work suggests that machine-learning classification algorithms trained on hydrodynamic zoom-in simulations can efficiently predict realistic subhalo populations.", "date": "2018-06-01", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Astrophysical Journal", "volume": "859", "number": "2", "publisher": "American Astronomical Society", "pagerange": "Art.

", "abstract": "Using a state-of-the-art cosmological simulation of merging proto-galaxies at high redshift from the FIRE project, with explicit treatments of star formation and stellar feedback in the interstellar medium, we investigate the formation of star clusters and examine one of the formation hypotheses of present-day metal-poor globular clusters. We find that frequent mergers in high-redshift proto-galaxies could provide a fertile environment to produce long-lasting bound star clusters. The violent merger event disturbs the gravitational potential and pushes a large gas mass of \u2273 10^(5\u20136)\u2009M\u2299 collectively to high density, at which point it rapidly turns into stars before stellar feedback can stop star formation. The high dynamic range of the reported simulation is critical in realizing such dense star-forming clouds with a small dynamical time-scale, t_(ff)\u2272 3\u2009Myr, shorter than most stellar feedback time-scales. Our simulation then allows us to trace how clusters could become virialized and tightly bound to survive for up to \u223c420\u2009Myr till the end of the simulation.

", "abstract": "A longstanding issue in attempts to understand the Everett (many-worlds) approach to quantum mechanics is the origin of the Born rule: why is the probability given by the square of the amplitude? Following Vaidman, we note that observers are in a position of self-locating uncertainty during the period between the branches of the wave function splitting via decoherence and the observer registering the outcome of the measurement. In this period, it is tempting to regard each branch as equiprobable, but we argue that the temptation should be resisted. Applying lessons from this analysis, we demonstrate (using methods similar to those of Zurek's envariance-based derivation) that the Born rule is the uniquely rational way of apportioning credence in Everettian quantum mechanics. In doing so, we rely on a single key principle: changes to the environment alone do not affect the probabilities one ought to assign to measurement outcomes in a local subsystem. We arrive at a method for assigning probabilities in cases that involve both classical and quantum self-locating uncertainty. This method provides unique answers to quantum Sleeping Beauty problems, as well as a well-defined procedure for calculating probabilities in quantum cosmological multiverses with multiple similar observers.", "date": "2018-03-01", "date_type": "published", "publication": "British Journal for the Philosophy of Science", "volume": "69", "number": "1", "publisher": "Oxford University Press", "pagerange": "25-74", "id_number": "CaltechAUTHORS:20141216-201958532", "issn": "0007-0882", "official_url": "https://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechAUTHORS:20141216-201958532", "rights": "No commercial reproduction, distribution, display or performance rights in this work are provided.", "funders": { "items": [ { "agency": "NSF Graduate Research Fellowship", "grant_number": "DGE-0718128" }, { "agency": "Department of Energy (DOE)", "grant_number": "DE-FG02-92ER40701" }, { "agency": "Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation", "grant_number": "776" } ] }, "other_numbering_system": { "items": [ { "id": "68-2927", "name": "CALT" } ] }, "local_group": { "items": [ { "id": "Moore-Center-for-Theoretical-Cosmology-and-Physics" }, { "id": "Walter-Burke-Institute-for-Theoretical-Physics" } ] }, "doi": "10.1093/bjps/axw004", "primary_object": { "basename": "1405.6903v1.pdf", "url": "https://authors.library.caltech.edu/records/a0vv6-h2t23/files/1405.6903v1.pdf" }, "pub_year": "2018", "author_list": "Sebens, Charles T. and Carroll, Sean M." }, { "id": "https://authors.library.caltech.edu/records/kvq8k-fc631", "eprint_id": 75104, "eprint_status": "archive", "datestamp": "2023-08-19 07:57:34", "lastmod": "2023-10-25 14:44:41", "type": "article", "metadata_visibility": "show", "creators": { "items": [ { "id": "Bao-Ning", "name": { "family": "Bao", "given": "Ning" }, "orcid": "0000-0002-3296-1039" }, { "id": "Remmen-G-N", "name": { "family": "Remmen", "given": "Grant N." }, "orcid": "0000-0001-6569-8866" } ] }, "title": "Bulk Connectedness and Boundary Entanglement", "ispublished": "pub", "full_text_status": "public", "note": "\u00a9 2018 EPLA. \n\nReceived 19 January 2018; Accepted 2 May 2018; Published 18 May 2018. \n\nWe thank the referees for their helpful suggestions.

", "abstract": "We investigate stellar metallicity distribution functions (MDFs), including Fe and \u03b1-element abundances, in dwarf galaxies from the Feedback in Realistic Environment (FIRE) project. We examine both isolated dwarf galaxies and those that are satellites of a Milky Way-mass galaxy. In particular, we study the effects of including a sub-grid turbulent model for the diffusion of metals in gas. Simulations that include diffusion have narrower MDFs and abundance ratio distributions, because diffusion drives individual gas and star particles towards the average metallicity. This effect provides significantly better agreement with observed abundance distributions in dwarf galaxies in the Local Group, including small intrinsic scatter in [\u03b1/Fe] versus [Fe/H] of \u22720.1 dex. This small intrinsic scatter arises in our simulations because the interstellar medium in dwarf galaxies is well mixed at nearly all cosmic times, such that stars that form at a given time have similar abundances to \u22720.1 dex. Thus, most of the scatter in abundances at z = 0 arises from redshift evolution and not from instantaneous scatter in the ISM. We find similar MDF widths and intrinsic scatter for satellite and isolated dwarf galaxies, which suggests that environmental effects play a minor role compared with internal chemical evolution in our simulations. Overall, with the inclusion of metal diffusion, our simulations reproduce abundance distribution widths of observed low-mass galaxies, enabling detailed studies of chemical evolution in galaxy formation.", "date": "2018-02-21", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society", "volume": "474", "number": "2", "publisher": "Royal Astronomical Society", "pagerange": "2194-2211", "id_number": "CaltechAUTHORS:20171031-190653134", "issn": "0035-8711", "official_url": "https://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechAUTHORS:20171031-190653134", "rights": "No commercial reproduction, distribution, display or performance rights in this work are provided.", "funders": { "items": [ { "agency": "NSF", "grant_number": "PHY-0960291" }, { "agency": "Caltech Earle C.

Here we connect this behavior to the increase of entropy over time, based on the idea that de Sitter spacetime is a maximum-entropy state. We prove a cosmic no-hair theorem for Robertson-Walker and Bianchi I spacetimes that admit a Q-screen (\"quantum\" holographic screen) with certain entropic properties: If generalized entropy, in the sense of the cosmological version of the generalized second law conjectured by Bousso and Engelhardt, increases up to a finite maximum value along the screen, then the spacetime is asymptotically de Sitter in the future. Moreover, the limiting value of generalized entropy coincides with the de Sitter horizon entropy. We do not use the Einstein field equations in our proof, nor do we assume the existence of a positive cosmological constant.

Gas becomes increasingly rotationally supported with increasing galaxy mass. In the lowest mass galaxies (M_(star) < 10^8\u2009M_\u2299), gas fails to form a morphological disc and is primarily dispersion and pressure supported. At intermediate masses (M_(star) = 10^(8\u201310)\u2009M_\u2299), galaxies display a wide range of gas kinematics and morphologies, from thin, rotating discs to irregular spheroids with negligible net rotation. All the high-mass (M_(star) = 10^(10\u201311)\u2009M_\u2299) galaxies form rotationally supported gas discs. Many of the haloes whose galaxies fail to form discs harbour high angular momentum gas in their circumgalactic medium. The ratio of the specific angular momentum of gas in the central galaxy to that of the dark matter halo increases significantly with galaxy mass, from \u3008j_(gas)\u3009/\u3008j_(DM)\u3009 \u223c 0.1 at \nM_(star) = 10^(6-7) M_\u2299 to \u3008j_(gas)\u3009/\u3008j_(DM)\u3009 \u223c 2 at M_(star) = 10^(10\u201311)\u2009M_\u2299. The reduced rotational support in the lowest mass galaxies owes to (a) stellar feedback and the UV background suppressing the accretion of high angular momentum gas at late times, and (b) stellar feedback driving large non-circular gas motions. We broadly reproduce the observed scaling relations between galaxy mass, gas rotation velocity, size and angular momentum, but may somewhat underpredict the incidence of disky, high angular momentum galaxies at the lowest observed masses (M_(star) = (10^6\u20132 \u00d7 10^7)\u2009M_\u2299). Stars form preferentially from low angular momentum gas near the galactic centre and are less rotationally supported than gas. The common assumption that stars follow the same rotation curve as gas thus substantially overestimates the simulated galaxies' stellar angular momentum, particularly at low masses.", "date": "2018-01-11", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society", "volume": "473", "number": "2", "publisher": "Royal Astronomical Society", "pagerange": "1930-1955", "id_number": "CaltechAUTHORS:20180216-074830560", "issn": "0035-8711", "official_url": "https://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechAUTHORS:20180216-074830560", "rights": "No commercial reproduction, distribution, display or performance rights in this work are provided.", "funders": { "items": [ { "agency": "University of California, Berkeley" }, { "agency": "NSF Graduate Research Fellowship" }, { "agency": "NASA", "grant_number": "12-ATP-120183" }, { "agency": "Simons Foundation" }, { "agency": "David and Lucile Packard Foundation" }, { "agency": "Caltech-Carnegie Fellowship" }, { "agency": "Moore Center for Theoretical Cosmology and Physics, Caltech" }, { "agency": "NASA", "grant_number": "HST-GO-14734" }, { "agency": "NSF", "grant_number": "AST-1412153" }, { "agency": "Cottrell Scholar of Research Corporation" }, { "agency": "NSF", "grant_number": "AST-1412836" }, { "agency": "NSF", "grant_number": "AST-1517491" }, { "agency": "NASA", "grant_number": "NNX15AB22G" }, { "agency": "NSF", "grant_number": "PHY-0960291" }, { "agency": "Department of Energy (DOE)", "grant_number": "DE-AC02-05CH11231" } ] }, "local_group": { "items": [ { "id": "Moore-Center-for-Theoretical-Cosmology-and-Physics" }, { "id": "TAPIR" }, { "id": "Astronomy-Department" } ] }, "doi": "10.1093/mnras/stx2482", "primary_object": { "basename": "stx2482.pdf", "url": "https://authors.library.caltech.edu/records/m8g2k-hvq02/files/stx2482.pdf" }, "related_objects": [ { "basename": "1705.10321.pdf", "url": "https://authors.library.caltech.edu/records/m8g2k-hvq02/files/1705.10321.pdf" } ], "pub_year": "2018", "author_list": "El-Badry, Kareem; Quataert, Eliot; et el." }, { "id": "https://authors.library.caltech.edu/records/260mm-s2898", "eprint_id": 88309, "eprint_status": "archive", "datestamp": "2023-08-19 06:08:33", "lastmod": "2023-10-18 21:57:39", "type": "article", "metadata_visibility": "show", "creators": { "items": [ { "id": "Angl\u00e9s-Alc\u00e1zar-D", "name": { "family": "Angl\u00e9s-Alc\u00e1zar", "given": "Daniel" }, "orcid": "0000-0001-5769-4945" }, { "id": "Faucher-Gigu\u00e8re-C-A", "name": { "family": "Faucher-Gigu\u00e8re", "given": "Claude-Andr\u00e9" }, "orcid": "0000-0002-4900-6628" }, { "id": "Quataert-E", "name": { "family": "Quataert", "given": "Eliot" }, "orcid": "0000-0001-9185-5044" }, { "id": "Hopkins-P-F", "name": { "family": "Hopkins", "given": "Philip F." }, "orcid": "0000-0003-3729-1684" }, { "id": "Feldmann-R", "name": { "family": "Feldmann", "given": "Robert" }, "orcid": "0000-0002-1109-1919" }, { "id": "Torrey-P", "name": { "family": "Torrey", "given": "Paul" }, "orcid": "0000-0002-5653-0786" }, { "id": "Wetzel-A-R", "name": { "family": "Wetzel", "given": "Andrew" }, "orcid": "0000-0003-0603-8942" }, { "id": "Kere\u0161-D", "name": { "family": "Kere\u0161", "given": "Du\u0161an" }, "orcid": "0000-0002-1666-7067" } ] }, "title": "Black holes on FIRE: stellar feedback limits early feeding of galactic nuclei", "ispublished": "pub", "full_text_status": "public", "keywords": "black hole physics, galaxies: active, galaxies: evolution, galaxies: formation, quasars: supermassive black holes, cosmology: theory", "note": "\u00a9 2017 The Authors.

", "abstract": "We introduce massive black holes (BHs) in the Feedback In Realistic Environments (FIRE) project and perform high-resolution cosmological hydrodynamic simulations of quasar-mass haloes [Mhalo(z = 2) \u2248 10^(12.5)\u2009M_\u2299] down to z = 1. These simulations model stellar feedback by supernovae, stellar winds and radiation, and BH growth using a gravitational torque-based prescription tied to the resolved properties of galactic nuclei. We do not include BH feedback. We show that early BH growth occurs through short (\u22721\u2009Myr) accretion episodes that can reach or even exceed the Eddington rate. In this regime, BH growth is limited by bursty stellar feedback continuously evacuating gas from galactic nuclei, and BHs remain undermassive in low-mass galaxies relative to the local M_(BH)\u2013M_(bulge) relation. BH growth is more efficient at later times, when the nuclear stellar potential retains a significant gas reservoir, star formation becomes less bursty and galaxies settle into a more ordered state. BHs rapidly converge on to the observed scaling relations when the host reaches Mbulge \u223c 10^(10)\u2009M_\u2299. We show that resolving the effects of stellar feedback on the gas supply in the inner \u223c100\u2009pc of galaxies is necessary to accurately capture the growth of central BHs.

These simulations are part of the Feedback in Realistic Environments (FIRE) project and are performed at extremely high resolution (m_(baryon) = 500\u2009M_\u2299, m_(dm) = 2500\u2009M_\u2299). The resultant galaxies have stellar masses that are consistent with rough abundance matching estimates, coinciding with the faintest galaxies that can be seen beyond the virial radius of the Milky Way (M_*/M_\u2299 \u2248 10^5 \u2212 10^7). This non-negligible spread in stellar mass at z = 0 in haloes within a narrow range of virial masses is strongly correlated with central halo density or maximum circular velocity V_(max), both of which are tightly linked to halo formation time. Much of this dependence of M_* on a second parameter (beyond M_(halo)) is a direct consequence of the M_(halo) \u223c 10^(10)\u2009M_\u2299 mass scale coinciding with the threshold for strong reionization suppression: the densest, earliest-forming haloes remain above the UV-suppression scale throughout their histories while late-forming systems fall below the UV-suppression scale over longer periods and form fewer stars as a result. In fact, the latest-forming, lowest-concentration halo in our suite fails to form any stars. Haloes that form galaxies with M_\u22c6 \u2273 2 \u00d7 10^6\u2009M_\u2299 have reduced central densities relative to dark-matter-only simulations, and the radial extent of the density modifications is well-approximated by the galaxy half-mass radius r_(1/2).

", "abstract": "We consider a dark sector consisting of dark matter that is a Dirac fermion and a scalar mediator. This model has been extensively studied in the past. If the scalar couples to the dark matter in a parity conserving manner then dark matter annihilation to two mediators is dominated by the P-wave channel and hence is suppressed at very low momentum. The indirect detection constraint from the anisotropy of the Cosmic Microwave Background is usually thought to be absent in the model because of this suppression. In this letter we show that dark matter annihilation via bound state formation occurs through the S-wave and hence there is a constraint on the parameter space of the model from the Cosmic Microwave Background.", "date": "2017-10-10", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Physics Letters B", "volume": "773", "publisher": "Elsevier", "pagerange": "121-124", "id_number": "CaltechAUTHORS:20160615-155545845", "issn": "0370-2693", "official_url": "https://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechAUTHORS:20160615-155545845", "rights": "No commercial reproduction, distribution, display or performance rights in this work are provided.", "funders": { "items": [ { "agency": "Department of Energy (DOE)", "grant_number": "DE-SC0011632" }, { "agency": "Department of Energy (DOE)", "grant_number": "DE-SC0010255" }, { "agency": "Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation", "grant_number": "776" }, { "agency": "Walter Burke Institute for Theoretical Physics, Caltech" }, { "agency": "SCOAP3" } ] }, "other_numbering_system": { "items": [ { "id": "2016-014", "name": "CALT-TH" } ] }, "local_group": { "items": [ { "id": "Walter-Burke-Institute-for-Theoretical-Physics" }, { "id": "Moore-Center-for-Theoretical-Cosmology-and-Physics" } ] }, "doi": "10.1016/j.physletb.2017.08.010", "primary_object": { "basename": "1-s2.0-S0370269317306317-main.pdf", "url": "https://authors.library.caltech.edu/records/s9wka-p7e97/files/1-s2.0-S0370269317306317-main.pdf" }, "related_objects": [ { "basename": "1606.02305v1.pdf", "url": "https://authors.library.caltech.edu/records/s9wka-p7e97/files/1606.02305v1.pdf" } ], "pub_year": "2017", "author_list": "An, Haipeng; Wise, Mark B.; et el." }, { "id": "https://authors.library.caltech.edu/records/nzaqs-x7g90", "eprint_id": 81691, "eprint_status": "archive", "datestamp": "2023-08-19 05:20:10", "lastmod": "2023-10-17 21:10:25", "type": "article", "metadata_visibility": "show", "creators": { "items": [ { "id": "Garrison-Kimmel-S", "name": { "family": "Garrison-Kimmel", "given": "Shea" }, "orcid": "0000-0002-4655-8128" }, { "id": "Wetzel-A-R", "name": { "family": "Wetzel", "given": "Andrew" }, "orcid": "0000-0003-0603-8942" }, { "id": "Bullock-J-S", "name": { "family": "Bullock", "given": "James S." }, "orcid": "0000-0003-4298-5082" }, { "id": "Hopkins-P-F", "name": { "family": "Hopkins", "given": "Philip F." }, "orcid": "0000-0003-3729-1684" }, { "id": "Boylan-Kolchin-M", "name": { "family": "Boylan-Kolchin", "given": "Michael" }, "orcid": "0000-0002-9604-343X" }, { "id": "Faucher-Gigu\u00e8re-C-A", "name": { "family": "Faucher-Gigu\u00e8re", "given": "Claude-Andr\u00e9" }, "orcid": "0000-0002-4900-6628" }, { "id": "Kere\u0161-D", "name": { "family": "Kere\u0161", "given": "Du\u0161an" }, "orcid": "0000-0002-1666-7067" }, { "id": "Quataert-E", "name": { "family": "Quataert", "given": "Eliot" }, "orcid": "0000-0001-9185-5044" }, { "id": "Sanderson-R-E", "name": { "family": "Sanderson", "given": "Robyn E." }, "orcid": "0000-0003-3939-3297" }, { "id": "Graus-A-S", "name": { "family": "Graus", "given": "Andrew S." } }, { "id": "Kelley-T", "name": { "family": "Kelley", "given": "Tyler" } } ] }, "title": "Not so lumpy after all: modelling the depletion of dark matter subhaloes by Milky Way-like galaxies", "ispublished": "pub", "full_text_status": "public", "keywords": "galaxies: haloes \u2013 Local Group \u2013 dark matter \u2013 cosmology: theory", "note": "\u00a9 2017 The Authors.

", "abstract": "Among the most important goals in cosmology is detecting and quantifying small (M_(halo)\u224310^(6\u22129) M\u2299) dark matter (DM) subhaloes. Current probes around the Milky Way (MW) are most sensitive to such substructure within \u223c20 kpc of the halo centre, where the galaxy contributes significantly to the potential. We explore the effects of baryons on subhalo populations in \u039bCDM using cosmological zoom-in baryonic simulations of MW-mass haloes from the Latte simulation suite, part of the Feedback In Realistic Environments (FIRE) project. Specifically, we compare simulations of the same two haloes run using (1) DM-only (DMO), (2) full baryonic physics and (3) DM with an embedded disc potential grown to match the FIRE simulation. Relative to baryonic simulations, DMO simulations contain \u223c2 \u00d7 as many subhaloes within 100 kpc of the halo centre; this excess is \u22735 \u00d7 within 25 kpc. At z = 0, the baryonic simulations are completely devoid of subhaloes down to 3\u00d710^6M\u2299 within 15 kpc of the MW-mass galaxy, and fewer than 20 surviving subhaloes have orbital pericentres <20\u2009kpc. Despite the complexities of baryonic physics, the simple addition of an embedded central disc potential to DMO simulations reproduces this subhalo depletion, including trends with radius, remarkably well. Thus, the additional tidal field from the central galaxy is the primary cause of subhalo depletion. Subhaloes on radial orbits that pass close to the central galaxy are preferentially destroyed, causing the surviving population to have tangentially biased orbits compared to DMO predictions. Our method of embedding a potential in DMO simulations provides a fast and accurate alternative to full baryonic simulations, thus enabling suites of cosmological simulations that can provide accurate and statistical predictions of substructure populations.", "date": "2017-10", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society", "volume": "471", "number": "2", "publisher": "Royal Astronomical Society", "pagerange": "1709-1727", "id_number": "CaltechAUTHORS:20170921-133516143", "issn": "0035-8711", "official_url": "https://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechAUTHORS:20170921-133516143", "rights": "No commercial reproduction, distribution, display or performance rights in this work are provided.", "funders": { "items": [ { "agency": "NASA Einstein Fellowship", "grant_number": "PF5-160136" }, { "agency": "NASA", "grant_number": "NAS8-03060" }, { "agency": "Caltech Moore Center for Theoretical Cosmology and Physics" }, { "agency": "NASA", "grant_number": "HST-GO-14734" }, { "agency": "NSF", "grant_number": "AST-1518291" }, { "agency": "NASA Hubble Fellowship", "grant_number": "AR-13921" }, { "agency": "NASA Hubble Fellowship", "grant_number": "AR-13888" }, { "agency": "NASA Hubble Fellowship", "grant_number": "AR-14282.001" }, { "agency": "NASA", "grant_number": "NAS5-26555" }, { "agency": "Alfred P.

", "abstract": "Dwarf galaxies are known to have remarkably low star formation efficiency due to strong feedback. Adopting the dwarf galaxies of the Milky Way (MW) as a laboratory, we explore a flexible semi-analytic galaxy formation model to understand how the feedback processes shape the satellite galaxies of the MW. Using Markov Chain Monte Carlo, we exhaustively search a large parameter space of the model and rigorously show that the general wisdom of strong outflows as the primary feedback mechanism cannot simultaneously explain the stellar mass function and the mass\u2013metallicity relation of the MW satellites. An extended model that assumes that a fraction of baryons is prevented from collapsing into low-mass halos in the first place can be accurately constrained to simultaneously reproduce those observations. The inference suggests that two different physical mechanisms are needed to explain the two different data sets. In particular, moderate outflows with weak halo mass dependence are needed to explain the mass\u2013metallicity relation, and prevention of baryons falling into shallow gravitational potentials of low-mass halos (e.g., \"pre-heating\") is needed to explain the low stellar mass fraction for a given subhalo mass.", "date": "2017-09-01", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Astrophysical Journal", "volume": "846", "number": "1", "publisher": "American Astronomical Society", "pagerange": "Art.

", "abstract": "With the upcoming release of the Gaia catalog and the many multiplexed spectroscopic surveys on the horizon, we are rapidly moving into a new data-driven era in the study of the Milky Way's stellar halo. When combined, these data sets will give us a many-dimensional view of stars in accreted structures in the halo that includes both dynamical information about their orbits and chemical information about their formation histories. Using simulated data from the state-of-the-art Latte simulations of Milky-Way-like galaxies, which include hydrodynamics, feedback, and chemical evolution in a cosmological setting, we demonstrate that while dynamical information alone can be used to constrain models of the Galactic mass distribution in the halo, including the extra dimensions provided by chemical abundances can improve these constraints as well as assist in untangling different accreted components.", "date": "2017-09", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Galaxies", "volume": "5", "number": "3", "publisher": "MDPI", "pagerange": "Art.

", "abstract": "We use the first Gaia data release, combined with the RAVE and APOGEE spectroscopic surveys, to investigate the origin of halo stars within \u227e3 kpc from the Sun. We identify halo stars kinematically as moving at a relative speed of at least 220 km s^(\u22121) with respect to the local standard of rest. These stars are generally less metal-rich than the disk, but surprisingly, half of our halo sample is comprised of stars with [Fe/H] > -1. The orbital directions of these metal-rich halo stars are preferentially aligned with the disk rotation, in sharp contrast with the intrinsically isotropic orbital distribution of the metal-poor halo stars. We find similar properties in the Latte cosmological zoom-in simulation of a Milky Way-like galaxy from the FIRE project. In Latte, metal-rich halo stars formed primarily inside of the solar circle, whereas lower-metallicity halo stars preferentially formed at larger distances (extending beyond the virial radius). This suggests that metal-rich halo stars in the solar neighborhood actually formed in situ within the Galactic disk, rather than having been accreted from satellite systems. These stars, currently on halo-like orbits, therefore have likely undergone substantial radial migration/heating.", "date": "2017-08-20", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Astrophysical Journal", "volume": "845", "number": "2", "publisher": "American Astronomical Society", "pagerange": "Art.

", "abstract": "Slow-roll inflation can become eternal if the quantum variance of the inflaton field around its slowly rolling classical trajectory is converted into a distribution of classical spacetimes inflating at different rates, and if the variance is large enough compared to the rate of classical rolling that the probability of an increased rate of expansion is sufficiently high. Both of these criteria depend sensitively on whether and how perturbation modes of the inflaton interact and decohere. Decoherence is inevitable as a result of gravitationally sourced interactions whose strength are proportional to the slow-roll parameters. However, the weakness of these interactions means that decoherence is typically delayed until several Hubble times after modes grow beyond the Hubble scale. We present perturbative evidence that decoherence of long-wavelength inflaton modes indeed leads to an ensemble of classical spacetimes with differing cosmological evolutions. We introduce the notion of per-branch observables\u2014expectation values with respect to the different decohered branches of the wave function\u2014and show that the evolution of modes on individual branches varies from branch to branch. Thus, single-field slow-roll inflation fulfills the quantum-mechanical criteria required for the validity of the standard picture of eternal inflation. For a given potential, the delayed decoherence can lead to slight quantitative adjustments to the regime in which the inflaton undergoes eternal inflation.", "date": "2017-07-15", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Physical Review D", "volume": "96", "number": "2", "publisher": "American Physical Society", "pagerange": "Art.

", "abstract": "Central galaxies make up the majority of the galaxy population, including the majority of the quiescent population at M_* > 10^(10)M_\u2609. Thus, the mechanism(s) responsible for quenching central galaxies play a crucial role in galaxy evolution as whole. We combine a high-resolution cosmological N-body simulation with observed evolutionary trends of the \"star formation main sequence,\" quiescent fraction, and stellar mass function at z < 1 to construct a model that statistically tracks the star formation histories and quenching of central galaxies. Comparing this model to the distribution of central galaxy star formation rates in a group catalog of the SDSS Data Release 7, we constrain the timescales over which physical processes cease star formation in central galaxies. Over the stellar mass range 10^(9.5)-10^(11)M_\u2609 we infer quenching e-folding times that span 1.5\u20130.5 Gyr with more massive central galaxies quenching faster. For M_* = 10^(10.5)M_\u2609, this implies a total migration time of ~4 Gyr from the star formation main sequence to quiescence. Compared to satellites, central galaxies take ~2 Gyr longer to quench their star formation, suggesting that different mechanisms are responsible for quenching centrals versus satellites. Finally, the central galaxy quenching timescale we infer provides key constraints for proposed star formation quenching mechanisms. Our timescale is generally consistent with gas depletion timescales predicted by quenching through strangulation. However, the exact physical mechanism(s) responsible for this remain unclear.", "date": "2017-05-10", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Astrophysical Journal", "volume": "841", "number": "1", "publisher": "American Astronomical Society", "pagerange": "Art.

", "abstract": "We study the structure, age and metallicity gradients, and dynamical evolution using a cosmological zoom-in simulation of a Milky Way-mass galaxy from the Feedback in Realistic Environments project. In the simulation, stars older than 6 Gyr were formed in a chaotic, bursty mode and have the largest vertical scaleheights (1.5\u20132.5 kpc) by z = 0, while stars younger than 6 Gyr were formed in a relatively calm, stable disc. The vertical scaleheight increases with stellar age at all radii, because (1) stars that formed earlier were thicker 'at birth', and (2) stars were kinematically heated to an even thicker distribution after formation. Stars of the same age are thicker in the outer disc than in the inner disc (flaring). These lead to positive vertical age gradients and negative radial age gradients. The radial metallicity gradient is negative at the mid-plane, flattens at larger disc height |Z|, and turns positive above |Z| \u223c 1.5\u2009kpc. The vertical metallicity gradient is negative at all radii, but is steeper at smaller radii. These trends broadly agree with observations in the Milky Way and can be naturally understood from the age gradients. The vertical stellar density profile can be well described by two components, with scaleheights 200\u2013500 pc and 1\u20131.5 kpc, respectively. The thick component is a mix of stars older than 4 Gyr, which formed through a combination of several mechanisms.

We study these as implemented in the code gizmo for both new meshless finite-volume Godunov schemes (MFM/MFV). We show that the MFM/MFV methods are accurate and stable even with noisy fields and irregular particle arrangements, and recover the correct behaviour even in arbitrarily anisotropic cases. They are competitive with state-of-the-art AMR/moving-mesh methods, and can correctly treat anisotropic diffusion-driven instabilities (e.g. the MTI and HBI, Hall MRI). We also develop a new scheme for stabilizing anisotropic tensor-valued fluxes with high-order gradient estimators and non-linear flux limiters, which is trivially generalized to AMR/moving-mesh codes. We also present applications of some of these improvements for SPH, in the form of a new integral-Godunov SPH formulation that adopts a moving-least squares gradient estimator and introduces a flux-limited Riemann problem between particles.", "date": "2017-04", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society", "volume": "466", "number": "3", "publisher": "Royal Astronomical Society", "pagerange": "3387-3405", "id_number": "CaltechAUTHORS:20160317-141936363", "issn": "0035-8711", "official_url": "https://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechAUTHORS:20160317-141936363", "rights": "No commercial reproduction, distribution, display or performance rights in this work are provided.", "funders": { "items": [ { "agency": "Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation", "grant_number": "776" }, { "agency": "Alfred P.

", "abstract": "In low-mass galaxies, stellar feedback can drive gas outflows that generate non-equilibrium fluctuations in the gravitational potential. Using cosmological zoom-in baryonic simulations from the Feedback in Realistic Environments project, we investigate how these fluctuations affect stellar kinematics and the reliability of Jeans dynamical modeling in low-mass galaxies. We find that stellar velocity dispersion and anisotropy profiles fluctuate significantly over the course of galaxies' starburst cycles. We therefore predict an observable correlation between star formation rate and stellar kinematics: dwarf galaxies with higher recent star formation rates should have systemically higher stellar velocity dispersions. This prediction provides an observational test of the role of stellar feedback in regulating both stellar and dark-matter densities in dwarf galaxies. We find that Jeans modeling, which treats galaxies as virialized systems in dynamical equilibrium, overestimates a galaxy's dynamical mass during periods of post-starburst gas outflow and underestimates it during periods of net inflow. Short-timescale potential fluctuations lead to typical errors of ~20% in dynamical mass estimates, even if full three-dimensional stellar kinematics\u2014including the orbital anisotropy\u2014are known exactly. When orbital anisotropy is not known a priori, typical mass errors arising from non-equilibrium fluctuations in the potential are larger than those arising from the mass-anisotropy degeneracy. However, Jeans modeling alone cannot reliably constrain the orbital anisotropy, and problematically, it often favors anisotropy models that do not reflect the true profile. If galaxies completely lose their gas and cease forming stars, fluctuations in the potential subside, and Jeans modeling becomes much more reliable.", "date": "2017-02-01", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Astrophysical Journal", "volume": "835", "number": "2", "publisher": "American Astronomical Society", "pagerange": "Art.

", "abstract": "We examine how to construct a spatial manifold and its geometry from the entanglement structure of an abstract quantum state in Hilbert space. Given a decomposition of Hilbert space H into a tensor product of factors, we consider a class of \"redundancy-constrained states\" in H that generalize the area-law behavior for entanglement entropy usually found in condensed-matter systems with gapped local Hamiltonians. Using mutual information to define a distance measure on the graph, we employ classical multidimensional scaling to extract the best-fit spatial dimensionality of the emergent geometry. We then show that entanglement perturbations on such emergent geometries naturally give rise to local modifications of spatial curvature which obey a (spatial) analog of Einstein's equation. The Hilbert space corresponding to a region of flat space is finite-dimensional and scales as the volume, though the entropy (and the maximum change thereof) scales like the area of the boundary. A version of the ER=EPR conjecture is recovered, in that perturbations that entangle distant parts of the emergent geometry generate a configuration that may be considered as a highly quantum wormhole.", "date": "2017-01-15", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Physical Review D", "volume": "95", "number": "2", "publisher": "American Physical Society", "pagerange": "Art.

", "abstract": "Using an isolated Milky Way-mass galaxy simulation, we compare results from nine state-of-the-art gravito-hydrodynamics codes widely used in the numerical community. We utilize the infrastructure we have built for the AGORA High-resolution Galaxy Simulations Comparison Project. This includes the common disk initial conditions, common physics models (e.g., radiative cooling and UV background by the standardized package Grackle) and common analysis toolkit yt, all of which are publicly available. Subgrid physics models such as Jeans pressure floor, star formation, supernova feedback energy, and metal production are carefully constrained across code platforms. With numerical accuracy that resolves the disk scale height, we find that the codes overall agree well with one another in many dimensions including: gas and stellar surface densities, rotation curves, velocity dispersions, density and temperature distribution functions, disk vertical heights, stellar clumps, star formation rates, and Kennicutt\u2013Schmidt relations. Quantities such as velocity dispersions are very robust (agreement within a few tens of percent at all radii) while measures like newly formed stellar clump mass functions show more significant variation (difference by up to a factor of ~3). Systematic differences exist, for example, between mesh-based and particle-based codes in the low-density region, and between more diffusive and less diffusive schemes in the high-density tail of the density distribution.

", "abstract": "The AMPS paradox challenges black hole complementarity by apparently constructing a way for an observer to bring information from the outside of the black hole into its interior if there is no drama at its horizon, making manifest a violation of monogamy of entanglement. We propose a new resolution to the paradox: this violation cannot be explicitly checked by an infalling observer in the finite proper time they have to live after crossing the horizon. Our resolution depends on a weak relaxation of the no-drama condition (we call it \"little-drama\") which is the \"complementarity dual\" of scrambling of information on the stretched horizon. When translated to the description of the black hole interior, this implies that the fine-grained quantum information of infalling matter is rapidly diffused across the entire interior while classical observables and coarse-grained geometry remain unaffected. Under the assumption that information has diffused throughout the interior, we consider the difficulty of the information-theoretic task that an observer must perform after crossing the event horizon of a Schwarzschild black hole in order to verify a violation of monogamy of entanglement. We find that the time required to complete a necessary subroutine of this task, namely the decoding of Bell pairs from the interior and the late radiation, takes longer than the maximum amount of time that an observer can spend inside the black hole before hitting the singularity. Therefore, an infalling observer cannot observe monogamy violation before encountering the singularity.", "date": "2016-12", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Journal of High Energy Physics", "volume": "2016", "number": "12", "publisher": "Springer", "pagerange": "Art.

", "abstract": "Many properties of the Milky Way's (MW) dark matter halo, including its mass-assembly history, concentration, and subhalo population, remain poorly constrained. We explore the connection between these properties of the MW and its satellite galaxy population, especially the implication of the presence of the Magellanic Clouds for the properties of the MW halo. Using a suite of high-resolution N-body simulations of MW-mass halos with a fixed final M_(vir) ~ 10^(12.1),M_\u2299, we find that the presence of Magellanic Cloud-like satellites strongly correlates with the assembly history, concentration, and subhalo population of the host halo, such that MW-mass systems with Magellanic Clouds have lower concentration, more rapid recent accretion, and more massive subhalos than typical halos of the same mass. Using a flexible semi-analytic galaxy formation model that is tuned to reproduce the stellar mass function of the classical dwarf galaxies of the MW with Markov-Chain Monte-Carlo, we show that adopting host halos with different mass-assembly histories and concentrations can lead to different best-fit models for galaxy-formation physics, especially for the strength of feedback. These biases arise because the presence of the Magellanic Clouds boosts the overall population of high-mass subhalos, thus requiring a different stellar-mass-to-halo-mass ratio to match the data. These biases also lead to significant differences in the mass\u2013metallicity relation, the kinematics of low-mass satellites, the number counts of small satellites associated with the Magellanic Clouds, and the stellar mass of MW itself. Observations of these galaxy properties can thus provide useful constraints on the properties of the MW halo.", "date": "2016-10-20", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Astrophysical Journal", "volume": "830", "number": "2", "publisher": "American Astronomical Society", "pagerange": "Art.

", "abstract": "In numerical magnetohydrodynamics (MHD), a major challenge is maintaining \u2207\u22c5B=0. Constrained transport (CT) schemes achieve this but have been restricted to specific methods. For more general (meshless, moving-mesh, ALE) methods, 'divergence-cleaning' schemes reduce the \u2207\u22c5B errors; however they can still be significant and can lead to systematic errors which converge away slowly. We propose a new constrained gradient (CG) scheme which augments these with a projection step, and can be applied to any numerical scheme with a reconstruction. This iteratively approximates the least-squares minimizing, globally divergence-free reconstruction of the fluid. Unlike 'locally divergence free' methods, this actually minimizes the numerically unstable \u2207\u22c5B terms, without affecting the convergence order of the method. We implement this in the mesh-free code gizmo and compare various test problems. Compared to cleaning schemes, our CG method reduces the maximum \u2207\u22c5B errors by \u223c1\u20133 orders of magnitude (\u223c2\u20135 dex below typical errors if no \u2207\u22c5B cleaning is used). By preventing large \u2207\u22c5B at discontinuities, this eliminates systematic errors at jumps. Our CG results are comparable to CT methods; for practical purposes, the \u2207\u22c5B errors are eliminated.

", "abstract": "Low-mass \"dwarf\" galaxies represent the most significant challenges to the cold dark matter (CDM) model of cosmological structure formation. Because these faint galaxies are (best) observed within the Local Group (LG) of the Milky Way (MW) and Andromeda (M31), understanding their formation in such an environment is critical. We present first results from the Latte Project: the Milky Way on Feedback in Realistic Environments (FIRE). This simulation models the formation of an MW-mass galaxy to z = 0 within \u039bCDM cosmology, including dark matter, gas, and stars at unprecedented resolution: baryon particle mass of 7070 M_\u2299 with gas kernel/softening that adapts down to 1 pc (with a median of 2-60 pc at z = 0). Latte was simulated using the GIZMO code with a mesh-free method for accurate hydrodynamics and the FIRE-2 model for star formation and explicit feedback within a multi-phase interstellar medium. For the first time, Latte self-consistently resolves the spatial scales corresponding to half-light radii of dwarf galaxies that form around an MW-mass host down to M_(star) \u2273 10^5 M_\u2299. Latte's population of dwarf galaxies agrees with the LG across a broad range of properties: (1) distributions of stellar masses and stellar velocity dispersions (dynamical masses), including their joint relation; (2) the mass\u2013metallicity relation; and (3) diverse range of star formation histories, including their mass dependence. Thus, Latte produces a realistic population of dwarf galaxies at M_(star) \u2273 10^5 M_\u2299 that does not suffer from the \"missing satellites\" or \"too big to fail\" problems of small-scale structure formation. We conclude that baryonic physics can reconcile observed dwarf galaxies with standard \u039bCDM cosmology.", "date": "2016-08-20", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Astrophysical Journal Letters", "volume": "827", "number": "2", "publisher": "American Astronomical Society", "pagerange": "Art.

Sensible stress-energy tensors usually satisfy both of them. Under most circumstances, these sources are not perfect fluids and contain shear stresses. We show that for these systems the classical double copy associates the electric charge density to the Komar energy density.

", "abstract": "Loop-level scattering amplitudes for massless particles have singularities in regions where tree amplitudes are perfectly smooth. For example, a 2 \u2192 4 gluon scattering process has a singularity in which each incoming gluon splits into a pair of gluons, followed by a pair of 2 \u2192 2 collisions between the gluon pairs. This singularity mimics double parton scattering because it occurs when the transverse momentum of a pair of outgoing gluons vanishes. The singularity is logarithmic at fixed order in perturbation theory. We exploit the duality between scattering amplitudes and polygonal Wilson loops to study six-point amplitudes in this limit to high loop order in planar N = 4 super-Yang-Mills theory. The singular configuration corresponds to the limit in which a hexagonal Wilson loop develops a self-crossing. The singular terms are governed by an evolution equation, in which the hexagon mixes into a pair of boxes; the mixing back is suppressed in the planar (large N_c) limit. Because the kinematic dependence of the box Wilson loops is dictated by (dual) conformal invariance, the complete kinematic dependence of the singular terms for the self-crossing hexagon on the one nonsingular variable is determined to all loop orders. The complete logarithmic dependence on the singular variable can be obtained through nine loops, up to a couple of constants, using a correspondence with the multi-Regge limit. As a byproduct, we obtain a simple formula for the leading logs to all loop orders. We also show that, although the MHV six-gluon amplitude is singular, remarkably, the transcendental functions entering the non-MHV amplitude are finite in the same limit, at least through four loops.", "date": "2016-07", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Journal of High Energy Physics", "volume": "2016", "number": "7", "publisher": "Springer", "pagerange": "Art.

", "abstract": "We consider the question of entanglement conservation in the context of the ER=EPR correspondence equating quantum entanglement with wormholes. In quantum mechanics, the entanglement between a system and its complement is conserved under unitary operations that act independently on each; ER=EPR suggests that an analogous statement should hold for wormholes. We accordingly prove a new area theorem in general relativity: for a collection of dynamical wormholes and black holes in a spacetime satisfying the null curvature condition, the maximin area for a subset of the horizons (giving the largest area attained by the minimal cross section of the multi-wormhole throat separating the subset from its complement) is invariant under classical time evolution along the outermost apparent horizons.

We distinguish between two approaches to this idea: holographic gravity, in which Einstein's equation arises from keeping entropy stationary in equilibrium under variations of the geometry and quantum state of a small region, and thermodynamic gravity, in which Einstein's equation emerges as a local equation of state from constraints on the area of a dynamical light sheet in a fixed spacetime background. Examining holographic gravity, we argue that its underlying assumptions can be justified in part using recent results on the form of the modular energy in quantum field theory. For thermodynamic gravity, on the other hand, we find that it is difficult to formulate a self-consistent definition of the entropy, which represents an obstacle for this approach.

", "abstract": "Turbulence is thought to be a primary driving force behind the early stages of star formation. In this framework large, self-gravitating, turbulent clouds fragment into smaller clouds which in turn fragment into even smaller ones. At the end of this cascade we find the clouds which collapse into protostars. Following this process is extremely challenging numerically due to the large dynamical range, so in this paper we propose a semi-analytic framework which is able to model star formation from the largest, giant molecular cloud scale, to the final protostellar size scale. Because of the simplicity of the framework it is ideal for theoretical experimentation to explore the principal processes behind different aspects of star formation, at the cost of introducing strong assumptions about the collapse process. The basic version of the model discussed in this paper only contains turbulence, gravity and crude assumptions about feedback; nevertheless it can reproduce the observed core mass function and provide the protostellar system mass function (PSMF), which shows a striking resemblance to the observed initial mass function (IMF), if a non-negligible fraction of gravitational energy goes into turbulence. Furthermore we find that to produce a universal IMF protostellar feedback must be taken into account otherwise the PSMF peak shows a strong dependence on the background temperature.", "date": "2016-06-11", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society", "volume": "459", "number": "1", "publisher": "Royal Astronomical Society", "pagerange": "9-20", "id_number": "CaltechAUTHORS:20150812-101357981", "issn": "0035-8711", "official_url": "https://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechAUTHORS:20150812-101357981", "rights": "No commercial reproduction, distribution, display or performance rights in this work are provided.", "funders": { "items": [ { "agency": "Alfred P.

We derive the general cross section for radiative capture into all possible bound states, and point out its nontrivial dependence on the dark matter velocity and the dark photon mass. For indirect detection, our result shows that dark matter annihilation inside bound states can play an important role in enhancing signal rates over the rate for direct dark matter annihilation with Sommerfeld enhancement. The effects are strongest for large dark gauge coupling and when the dark photon mass is smaller than the typical momentum of dark matter in the Galaxy. As an example, we show that for thermal dark matter the Fermi gamma ray constraint is substantially increased once bound state effects are taken into account.

Such fluctuations require either an evolving microstate, or time-dependent histories of out-of-equilibrium recording devices, which we argue are absent in stationary states. For a massive scalar field in a fixed de Sitter background, the cosmic no-hair theorem implies that the state of the patch approaches the vacuum, where there are no fluctuations. We argue that an analogous conclusion holds whenever a patch of de Sitter is embedded in a larger theory with an infinite-dimensional Hilbert space, including semiclassical quantum gravity with false vacua or complementarity in theories with at least one Minkowski vacuum. This reasoning provides an escape from the Boltzmann brain problem in such theories. It also implies that vacuum states do not uptunnel to higher-energy vacua and that perturbations do not decohere while slow-roll inflation occurs, suggesting that eternal inflation is much less common than often supposed. On the other hand, if a de Sitter patch is a closed system with a finite-dimensional Hilbert space, there will be Poincar\u00e9 recurrences and dynamical Boltzmann fluctuations into lower-entropy states. Our analysis does not alter the conventional understanding of the origin of density fluctuations from primordial inflation, since reheating naturally generates a high-entropy environment and leads to decoherence, nor does it affect the existence of non-dynamical vacuum fluctuations such as those that give rise to the Casimir effect.", "date": "2016-06", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Foundations of Physics", "volume": "46", "number": "6", "publisher": "Springer", "pagerange": "702-735", "id_number": "CaltechAUTHORS:20150316-131744979", "issn": "0015-9018", "official_url": "https://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechAUTHORS:20150316-131744979", "rights": "No commercial reproduction, distribution, display or performance rights in this work are provided.", "funders": { "items": [ { "agency": "Department of Energy (DOE)", "grant_number": "DE-FG02-92ER40701" }, { "agency": "Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation", "grant_number": "776" } ] }, "other_numbering_system": { "items": [ { "id": "68-2878", "name": "CALT-TH" } ] }, "local_group": { "items": [ { "id": "Moore-Center-for-Theoretical-Cosmology-and-Physics" }, { "id": "Walter-Burke-Institute-for-Theoretical-Physics" } ] }, "doi": "10.1007/s10701-016-9996-8", "primary_object": { "basename": "carroll2.pdf", "url": "https://authors.library.caltech.edu/records/js57r-afc07/files/carroll2.pdf" }, "pub_year": "2016", "author_list": "Boddy, Kimberly K.; Carroll, Sean M.; et el." }, { "id": "https://authors.library.caltech.edu/records/v2xpq-bdk82", "eprint_id": 56877, "eprint_status": "archive", "datestamp": "2023-08-20 11:34:55", "lastmod": "2023-10-23 16:04:48", "type": "article", "metadata_visibility": "show", "creators": { "items": [ { "id": "Hopkins-P-F", "name": { "family": "Hopkins", "given": "Philip F." }, "orcid": "0000-0003-3729-1684" }, { "id": "Torrey-P", "name": { "family": "Torrey", "given": "Paul" }, "orcid": "0000-0002-5653-0786" }, { "id": "Faucher-Gigu\u00e8re-C-A", "name": { "family": "Faucher-Gigu\u00e8re", "given": "Claude-Andr\u00e9" }, "orcid": "0000-0002-4900-6628" }, { "id": "Quataert-E", "name": { "family": "Quataert", "given": "Eliot" }, "orcid": "0000-0001-9185-5044" }, { "id": "Murray-N", "name": { "family": "Murray", "given": "Norman" } } ] }, "title": "Stellar and Quasar Feedback in Concert: Effects on AGN Accretion, Obscuration, and Outflows", "ispublished": "pub", "full_text_status": "public", "keywords": "galaxies: formation, galaxies: evolution, galaxies: active, star formation: general, cosmology: theory", "note": "\u00a9 2016 The Authors Published by Oxford University Press on behalf of the Royal Astronomical Society. \n\nAccepted 2016 February 3.

We examine radii \u223c0.1\u2013100\u2009pc around a black hole (BH), where the accretion rate on to the BH is determined and where AGN-powered winds and radiation couple to the ISM. We conclude: (1) the BH accretion rate is determined by exchange of angular momentum between gas and stars in gravitational instabilities. This produces accretion rates \u223c0.03\u20131\u2009M_\u2299\u2009yr^(\u22121), sufficient to power luminous AGN. (2) The gas disc in the galactic nucleus undergoes an initial burst of star formation followed by several million years where stellar feedback suppresses the star formation rate (SFR). (3) AGN winds injected at small radii with momentum fluxes \u223cL_(AGN)/c couple efficiently to the ISM and have dramatic effects on ISM properties within \u223c100\u2009pc. AGN winds suppress the nuclear SFR by factors \u223c10\u201330 and BH accretion rate by factors \u223c3\u201330. They increase the outflow rate from the nucleus by factors \u223c10, consistent with observational evidence for galaxy-scale AGN-driven outflows. (4) With AGN feedback, the predicted column density distribution to the BH is consistent with observations. Absent AGN feedback, the BH is isotropically obscured and there are not enough optically thin sightlines to explain type-I AGN.

", "abstract": "A model of dark sector where O(few GeV) mass dark matter particles \u03c7 are supplied by a lighter dark force mediator V, m_V \u226a m_\u03c7, is motivated by the recently discovered mismatch between simulated and observed shapes of galactic haloes. Such models, in general, provide a challenge for direct detection efforts and collider searches. We show that for a large range of coupling constants and masses, the production and decay of the bound states of \u03c7, such as 0^(\u2212+) and 1^(\u2212\u2212) states, \u03b7_D and \u03a5_D, is an important search channel. We show that e+e\u2212 \u2192 \u03b7_D + V or \u03a5_D + \u03b3 production at B-factories for \u03b1_D > 0.1 is sufficiently strong to result in multiple pairs of charged leptons and pions via \u03b7_D \u2192 2V \u2192 2(l^+l^\u2212) and \u03a5_D \u2192 3V \u2192 3(l+l\u2212) (l = e, \u00b5, \u03c0). The absence of such final states in the existing searches performed at BABAR and Belle sets new constraints on the parameter space of the model. We also show that a search for multiple bremsstrahlung of dark force mediators, e^+e^\u2212 \u2192 \u03c7\u03c7\u00af + nV , resulting in missing energy and multiple leptons, will further improve the sensitivity to self-interacting dark matter.", "date": "2016-04-15", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Physical Review Letters", "volume": "116", "number": "15", "publisher": "American Physical Society", "pagerange": "Art.

", "abstract": "We examine the effects of stellar feedback and bursty star formation on low-mass galaxies (M_(star) = 2 \u00d7 10^6 \u2212 5 \u00d7 10^(10) M_\u2299) using the Feedback in Realistic Environments (FIRE) simulations. While previous studies emphasized the impact of feedback on dark matter profiles, we investigate the impact on the stellar component: kinematics, radial migration, size evolution, and population gradients. Feedback-driven outflows/inflows drive significant radial stellar migration over both short and long timescales via two processes: (1) outflowing/infalling gas can remain star-forming, producing young stars that migrate ~1 kpc within their first 100 Myr, and (2) gas outflows/inflows drive strong fluctuations in the global potential, transferring energy to all stars. These processes produce several dramatic effects. First, galaxies' effective radii can fluctuate by factors of >2 over ~200 Myr, and these rapid size fluctuations can account for much of the observed scatter in the radius at fixed M_(star). Second, the cumulative effects of many outflow/infall episodes steadily heat stellar orbits, causing old stars to migrate outward most strongly. This age-dependent radial migration mixes\u2014and even inverts\u2014intrinsic age and metallicity gradients. Thus, the galactic-archaeology approach of calculating radial star formation histories from stellar populations at z = 0 can be severely biased. These effects are strongest at M_(star) \u2248 10^(7\u20139.6) M_\u2299, the same regime where feedback most efficiently cores galaxies. Thus, detailed measurements of stellar kinematics in low-mass galaxies can strongly constrain feedback models and test baryonic solutions to small-scale problems in \u039bCDM.", "date": "2016-04-01", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Astrophysical Journal", "volume": "820", "number": "2", "publisher": "American Astronomical Society", "pagerange": "Art.

", "abstract": "We study novel types of contributions to the partition function of the Maxwell system defined on a small compact manifold. These contributions, often not addressed in the perturbative treatment with physical photons, emerge as a result of tunneling transitions between topologically distinct but physically identical vacuum winding states. These new terms give an extra contribution to the Casimir pressure, yet to be measured. We argue that this effect is highly sensitive to a small external electric field, which should be contrasted with the conventional Casimir effect, where the vacuum photons are essentially unaffected by any external field. Furthermore, photons will be emitted from the vacuum in response to a time-dependent electric field, similar to the dynamical Casimir effect in which real particles are radiated from the vacuum due to the time-dependent boundary conditions. We also propose an experimental setup using a quantum LC circuit to detect this novel effect.

", "abstract": "We study the behaviour of large dust grains in turbulent molecular clouds (MCs). In primarily neutral regions, dust grains move as aerodynamic particles, not necessarily with the gas. We therefore directly simulate, for the first time, the behaviour of aerodynamic grains in highly supersonic, magnetohydrodynamic turbulence typical of MCs. We show that, under these conditions, grains with sizes a \u2273 0.01\u2009micron exhibit dramatic (exceeding factor \u223c1000) fluctuations in the local dust-to-gas ratio (implying large small-scale variations in abundances, dust cooling rates, and dynamics). The dust can form highly filamentary structures (which would be observed in both dust emission and extinction), which can be much thinner than the characteristic width of gas filaments. Sometimes, the dust and gas filaments are not even in the same location. The 'clumping factor' \u27e8n^2_(dust)\u27e9/\u27e8n_(dust)\u27e9^2 of the dust (critical for dust growth/coagulation/shattering) can reach \u223c100, for grains in the ideal size range. The dust clustering is maximized around scales \u223c 0.2\u2009pc\u2009(a/\u03bcm)\u2009(n_(gas)/100\u2009cm^(\u22123))^(\u22121), and is 'averaged out' on larger scales. However, because the density varies widely in supersonic turbulence, the dynamic range of scales (and interesting grain sizes) for these fluctuations is much broader than in the subsonic case. Our results are applicable to MCs of essentially all sizes and densities, but we note how Lorentz forces and other physics (neglected here) may change them in some regimes. We discuss the potentially dramatic consequences for star formation, dust growth and destruction, and dust-based observations of MCs.", "date": "2016-03-11", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society", "volume": "456", "number": "4", "publisher": "Royal Astronomical Society", "pagerange": "4174-4190", "id_number": "CaltechAUTHORS:20151022-134506351", "issn": "0035-8711", "official_url": "https://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechAUTHORS:20151022-134506351", "rights": "No commercial reproduction, distribution, display or performance rights in this work are provided.", "funders": { "items": [ { "agency": "Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation", "grant_number": "776" }, { "agency": "Alfred P.

When pair-produced at the LHC, the subsequent Z, h\u2192\u2113\u2113, bb\u00af decays in the doublet decay cascade can yield 4\u2113, 2\u21132b and 4b+E_T+j(s) final states. Mutual observation of any two of these channels would provide information on the associated doublets' decay branching fractions into a Z or h, thereby probing the Goldstone equivalence relation, shedding additional light on the Higgs sector of beyond the Standard Model theories and facilitating the discrimination of various contending models, in turn. We compare the Z/h decay ratio expected in the minimal supersymmetric model, the next-to-minimal supersymmetric model (NMSSM)and a minimal singlet-doublet dark matter model. Additionally, we conduct a full Monte Carlo analysis of the prospects for detecting the targeted final states during 14 TeV running of the LHC in the context of a representative NMSSM benchmark model.", "date": "2016-03-01", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Physical Review D", "volume": "93", "number": "5", "publisher": "American Physical Society", "pagerange": "Art.

", "abstract": "We use high-resolution cosmological zoom-in simulations from the Feedback in Realistic Environment (FIRE) project to study the galaxy mass\u2013metallicity relations (MZR) from z=0\u20136. These simulations include explicit models of the multi-phase ISM, star formation, and stellar feedback. The simulations cover halo masses M_(halo) = 10^9\u201310^(13) M_\u2609 and stellar masses M_* = 10^4\u201310^(11) M_\u2609 at z = 0 and have been shown to produce many observed galaxy properties\nfrom z = 0\u20136. For the first time, our simulations agree reasonably well with the observed mass\u2013metallicity relations at z = 0\u20133 for a broad range of galaxy masses. We predict the evolution of the MZR from z = 0\u20136, as log(Z_(gas)/Z_\u2609) = 12+log(O/H)-9.0 = 0.35 [log(M_*/M_\u2609) - 10] + 0.93exp(-0.43z) - 1.05 and log(Z_*/Z_\u2609) = [Fe=H] + 0.2 = 0.40 [log(M_*/M_\u2609)-10]+0.67exp(-0.50z)-1.04, for gas-phase and stellar metallicity, respectively.\nOur simulations suggest that the evolution of MZR is associated with the evolution of stellar/gas mass fractions at different redshifts, indicating the existence of a universal metallicity relation between stellar mass, gas mass, and metallicities. In our simulations, galaxies\nabove M_* = 10^6 M_\u2609 are able to retain a large fraction of their metals inside the halo, because metal-rich winds fail to escape completely and are recycled into the galaxy. This resolves a long-standing discrepancy between \"sub-grid\" wind models (and semi-analytic models) and\nobservations, where common sub-grid models cannot simultaneously reproduce the MZR and the stellar mass functions.", "date": "2016-02-21", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society", "volume": "456", "number": "2", "publisher": "Royal Astronomical Society", "pagerange": "2140-2156", "id_number": "CaltechAUTHORS:20150423-081343792", "issn": "0035-8711", "official_url": "https://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechAUTHORS:20150423-081343792", "rights": "No commercial reproduction, distribution, display or performance rights in this work are provided.", "funders": { "items": [ { "agency": "Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation", "grant_number": "776" }, { "agency": "Alfred P.

", "abstract": "Recently, we explored new meshless finite-volume Lagrangian methods for hydrodynamics: the 'meshless finite mass' (MFM) and 'meshless finite volume' (MFV) methods; these capture advantages of both smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) and adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) schemes. We extend these to include ideal magnetohydrodynamics (MHD). The MHD equations are second-order consistent and conservative. We augment these with a divergence-cleaning scheme, which maintains \u2207\u22c5B\u22480\u2207\u22c5B\u22480. We implement these in the code GIZMO, together with state-of-the-art SPH MHD. We consider a large test suite, and show that on all problems the new methods are competitive with AMR using constrained transport (CT) to ensure \u2207\u22c5B=0\u2207\u22c5B=0. They correctly capture the growth/structure of the magnetorotational instability, MHD turbulence, and launching of magnetic jets, in some cases converging more rapidly than state-of-the-art AMR. Compared to SPH, the MFM/MFV methods exhibit convergence at fixed neighbour number, sharp shock-capturing, and dramatically reduced noise, divergence errors, and diffusion. Still, 'modern' SPH can handle most test problems, at the cost of larger kernels and 'by hand' adjustment of artificial diffusion. Compared to non-moving meshes, the new methods exhibit enhanced 'grid noise' but reduced advection errors and diffusion, easily include self-gravity, and feature velocity-independent errors and superior angular momentum conservation. They converge more slowly on some problems (smooth, slow-moving flows), but more rapidly on others (involving advection/rotation). In all cases, we show divergence control beyond the Powell 8-wave approach is necessary, or all methods can converge to unphysical answers even at high resolution.", "date": "2016-01-01", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society", "volume": "455", "number": "1", "publisher": "Royal Astronomical Society", "pagerange": "51-88", "id_number": "CaltechAUTHORS:20150615-061712828", "issn": "0035-8711", "official_url": "https://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechAUTHORS:20150615-061712828", "rights": "No commercial reproduction, distribution, display or performance rights in this work are provided.", "funders": { "items": [ { "agency": "Gordon and Betty Moore Foundatino", "grant_number": "776" }, { "agency": "Alfred P.

", "abstract": "We use the hexagon function bootstrap to compute the ratio function which characterizes the next-to-maximally-helicity-violating (NMHV) six-point amplitude in planar N=4 super-Yang-Mills theory at four loops. A powerful constraint comes from dual superconformal invariance, in the form of a Q differential equation, which heavily constrains the first derivatives of the transcendental functions entering the ratio function. At four loops, it leaves only a 34-parameter space of functions. Constraints from the collinear limits, and from the multi-Regge limit at the leading-logarithmic (LL) and next-to-leading-logarithmic (NLL) order, suffice to fix these parameters and obtain a unique result. We test the result against multi-Regge predictions at NNLL and N^3LL, and against predictions from the operator product expansion involving one and two flux-tube excitations; all cross-checks are satisfied. We study the analytical and numerical behavior of the parity-even and parity-odd parts on various lines and surfaces traversing the three-dimensional space of cross ratios. As part of this program, we characterize all irreducible hexagon functions through weight eight in terms of their coproduct. We also provide representations of the ratio function in particular kinematic regions in terms of multiple polylogarithms.", "date": "2016-01", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Journal of High Energy Physics", "volume": "2016", "number": "1", "publisher": "Springer", "pagerange": "Art.

", "abstract": "We present an analysis of the galaxy-scale gaseous outflows from the Feedback in Realistic Environments (FIRE) simulations. This suite of hydrodynamic cosmological zoom simulations resolves formation of star-forming giant molecular clouds to z = 0, and features an explicit stellar feedback model on small scales. Our simulations reveal that high-redshift galaxies undergo bursts of star formation followed by powerful gusts of galactic outflows that eject much of the interstellar medium and temporarily suppress star formation. At low redshift, however, sufficiently massive galaxies corresponding to L* progenitors develop stable discs and switch into a continuous and quiescent mode of star formation that does not drive outflows far into the halo. Mass-loading factors for winds in L* progenitors are \u03b7 \u2248 10 at high redshift, but decrease to \u03b7 \u226a 1 at low redshift. Although lower values of \u03b7 are expected as haloes grow in mass over time, we show that the strong suppression of outflows with decreasing redshift cannot be explained by mass evolution alone. Circumgalactic outflow velocities are variable and broadly distributed, but typically range between one and three times the circular velocity of the halo. Much of the ejected material builds a reservoir of enriched gas within the circumgalactic medium, some of which could be later recycled to fuel further star formation. However, a fraction of the gas that leaves the virial radius through galactic winds is never regained, causing most haloes with mass M_h \u2264 10^(12)\u2009M_\u2299 to be deficient in baryons compared to the cosmic mean by z = 0.", "date": "2015-12-11", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society", "volume": "454", "number": "3", "publisher": "Royal Astronomical Society", "pagerange": "2691-2713", "id_number": "CaltechAUTHORS:20160205-132422140", "issn": "0035-8711", "official_url": "https://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechAUTHORS:20160205-132422140", "rights": "No commercial reproduction, distribution, display or performance rights in this work are provided.", "funders": { "items": [ { "agency": "NSF", "grant_number": "AST-1412153" }, { "agency": "University of California San Diego" }, { "agency": "Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation", "grant_number": "776" }, { "agency": "Caltech Moore Center for Theoretical Cosmology and Physics" }, { "agency": "Alfred P.

", "abstract": "Evanescent operators such as the Gauss-Bonnet term have vanishing perturbative matrix elements in exactly D=4 dimensions. Similarly, evanescent fields do not propagate in D=4; a three-form field is in this class, since it is dual to a cosmological-constant contribution. In this Letter, we show that evanescent operators and fields modify the leading ultraviolet divergence in pure gravity. To analyze the divergence, we compute the two-loop identical-helicity four-graviton amplitude and determine the coefficient of the associated (nonevanescent) R^3 counterterm studied long ago by Goroff and Sagnotti. We compare two pairs of theories that are dual in D=4: gravity coupled to nothing or to three-form matter, and gravity coupled to zero-form or to two-form matter. Duff and van Nieuwenhuizen showed that, curiously, the one-loop trace anomaly\u2014the coefficient of the Gauss-Bonnet operator\u2014changes under p-form duality transformations. We concur and also find that the leading R^3 divergence changes under duality transformations. Nevertheless, in both cases, the physical renormalized two-loop identical-helicity four-graviton amplitude can be chosen to respect duality. In particular, its renormalization-scale dependence is unaltered.", "date": "2015-11-20", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Physical Review Letters", "volume": "115", "number": "21", "publisher": "American Physical Society", "pagerange": "Art.

", "abstract": "Motivated by the recent discovery of several dwarfs near the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), we study the accretion of massive satellites onto Milky Way (MW)/M31-like haloes using the ELVIS suite of N-body simulations. We identify 25 surviving LMC-mass subhaloes, and investigate the lower-mass satellites that were associated with these subhaloes before they fell into the MW/M31 haloes. Typically, 7\u2009per\u2009cent of the overall z = 0 satellite population of MW/M31 haloes were in a surviving LMC-group before falling into the MW/M31 halo. This fraction can vary between 1 and 25\u2009per\u2009cent, being higher for groups with higher mass and/or more recent infall times. Groups of satellites disperse rapidly in phase space after infall, and their distances and velocities relative to the group centre become statistically similar to the overall satellite population after 4\u20138 Gyr. We quantify the likelihood that satellites were associated with an LMC-mass group as a function of both distance and velocity relative to the LMC at z = 0. The close proximity in distance of the nine Dark Energy Survey candidate dwarf galaxies to the LMC suggest that \u223c2\u20134 are likely associated with the LMC. Furthermore, if several of these dwarfs are genuine members, then the LMC-group probably fell into the MW very recently, \u22722 Gyr ago.

", "abstract": "The recently proposed ER=EPR correspondence postulates the existence of wormholes (Einstein-Rosen bridges) between entangled states (such as EPR pairs). Entanglement is famously known to be unobservable in quantum mechanics, in that there exists no observable (or, equivalently, projector) that can accurately pick out whether a generic state is entangled. Many features of the geometry of spacetime, however, are observables, so one might worry that the presence or absence of a wormhole could identify an entangled state in ER=EPR, violating quantum mechanics, specifically, the property of state-independence of observables. In this note, we establish that this cannot occur: there is no measurement in general relativity that unambiguously detects the presence of a generic wormhole geometry. This statement is the ER=EPR dual of the undetectability of entanglement.", "date": "2015-11", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Journal of High Energy Physics", "volume": "2015", "number": "11", "publisher": "Springer", "pagerange": "Art.

", "abstract": "We present Feedback in Realistic Environment (FIRE)/GIZMO hydrodynamic zoom-in simulations of isolated dark matter haloes, two each at the mass of classical dwarf galaxies (M_(vir) \u2243 10^(10)\u2009\u2009M_\u2299) and ultra-faint galaxies (M_(vir) \u2243 10^9\u2009\u2009M_\u2299), and with two feedback implementations. The resulting central galaxies lie on an extrapolated abundance matching relation from M_\u2605 \u2243 10^6 to 10^4\u2009\u2009M_\u2299 without a break. Every host is filled with subhaloes, many of which form stars. Each of our dwarfs with M_\u2605 \u2243 10^6\u2009\u2009M_\u2299 has 1\u20132 well-resolved satellites with M_\u2605 = 3-200 \u00d7 10^3\u2009\u2009M_\u2299. Even our isolated ultra-faint galaxies have star-forming subhaloes. If this is representative, dwarf galaxies throughout the Universe should commonly host tiny satellite galaxies of their own. We combine our results with the Exploring the Local Volume in Simulations (ELVIS) simulations to show that targeting \u223c 50\u2009kpc regions around nearby isolated dwarfs could increase the chances of discovering ultra-faint galaxies by \u223c35\u2009per\u2009cent compared to random pointings, and specifically identify the region around the Phoenix dwarf galaxy as a good potential target. The well-resolved ultra-faint galaxies in our simulations (M_\u2605 \u2243 3-30 \u00d7 10^3\u2009\u2009M_\u2299) form within M_(peak) \u2243 0.5-3 \u00d7 10^9\u2009\u2009M_\u2299 haloes. Each has a uniformly ancient stellar population ( > 10\u2009Gyr) owing to reionization-related quenching. More massive systems, in contrast, all have late-time star formation. Our results suggest that M_(halo) \u2243 5 \u00d7 10^9\u2009\u2009M_\u2299 is a probable dividing line between haloes hosting reionization 'fossils' and those hosting dwarfs that can continue to form stars in isolation after reionization.", "date": "2015-10-21", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society", "volume": "453", "number": "2", "publisher": "Royal Astronomical Society", "pagerange": "1305-1316", "id_number": "CaltechAUTHORS:20150423-090135687", "issn": "0035-8711", "official_url": "https://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechAUTHORS:20150423-090135687", "rights": "No commercial reproduction, distribution, display or performance rights in this work are provided.", "funders": { "items": [ { "agency": "NSF", "grant_number": "ACI-1053575" }, { "agency": "NSF", "grant_number": "OCI-1053575" }, { "agency": "NSF", "grant_number": "AST140080" }, { "agency": "NASA Hubble Fellowship", "grant_number": "AR-12836" }, { "agency": "NASA Hubble Fellowship", "grant_number": "AR-13888" }, { "agency": "Space Telescope Science Institute" }, { "agency": "NASA", "grant_number": "NAS5-26555" }, { "agency": "Hubble Space Telescope", "grant_number": "HST-AR-13921.002-A" }, { "agency": "Hubble Space Telescope", "grant_number": "HST-AR-13888.003-A" }, { "agency": "NSF", "grant_number": "AST-1009999" }, { "agency": "Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation", "grant_number": "776" }, { "agency": "Alfred P.

", "abstract": "We present a series of high-resolution (20\u20132000 M\u2299, 0.1\u20134 pc) cosmological zoom-in simulations at z \u2273 6 from the Feedback In Realistic Environment (FIRE) project. These simulations cover halo masses 10^9\u201310^(11)\u2009M\u2299 and rest-frame ultraviolet magnitude M_(UV) = \u22129 to \u221219. These simulations include explicit models of the multi-phase ISM, star formation, and stellar feedback, which produce reasonable galaxy properties at z = 0\u20136. We post-process the snapshots with a radiative transfer code to evaluate the escape fraction (f_(esc)) of hydrogen ionizing photons. We find that the instantaneous f_(esc) has large time variability (0.01\u201320\u2009per\u2009cent), while the time-averaged f_(esc) over long time-scales generally remains \u2272 5\u2009per\u2009cent, considerably lower than the estimate in many reionization models. We find no strong dependence of f_(esc) on galaxy mass or redshift. In our simulations, the intrinsic ionizing photon budgets are dominated by stellar populations younger than 3 Myr, which tend to be buried in dense birth clouds. The escaping photons mostly come from populations between 3 and 10 Myr, whose birth clouds have been largely cleared by stellar feedback. However, these populations only contribute a small fraction of intrinsic ionizing photon budgets according to standard stellar population models. We show that f_(esc) can be boosted to high values, if stellar populations older than 3 Myr produce more ionizing photons than standard stellar population models (as motivated by, e.g. models including binaries). By contrast, runaway stars with velocities suggested by observations can enhance f_(esc) by only a small fraction. We show that 'sub-grid' star formation models, which do not explicitly resolve star formation in dense clouds with n \u226b 1\u2009cm^(\u22123), will dramatically overpredict f_(esc).", "date": "2015-10-11", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society", "volume": "453", "number": "1", "publisher": "Royal Astronomical Society", "pagerange": "960-975", "id_number": "CaltechAUTHORS:20150330-163106550", "issn": "0035-8711", "official_url": "https://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechAUTHORS:20150330-163106550", "rights": "No commercial reproduction, distribution, display or performance rights in this work are provided.", "funders": { "items": [ { "agency": "NSF", "grant_number": "PHY-0960291" }, { "agency": "Department of Energy (DOE)", "grant_number": "DE-AC02-05CH11231" }, { "agency": "NSF", "grant_number": "AST-1109896" }, { "agency": "Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation", "grant_number": "776" }, { "agency": "Alfred P.

There are 11 models where the vector-like fermions Yukawa couple to the standard model fermions via the Higgs field. These models do not introduce additional fine-tunings. They can lead to, and are constrained by, a number of different flavor-changing processes involving leptons and quarks, as well as direct searches. An interesting feature of the models with strongly interacting vector-like fermions is that constraints from neutral meson mixings (apart from CP violation in K^0\u2013K^0 mixing) are not sensitive to higher scales than other flavor-changing neutral-current processes. We identify order 1/(4\u03c0M)^2 (where M is the vector-like fermion mass) one-loop contributions to the coefficients of the four-quark operators for meson mixing, that are not suppressed by standard model quark masses and/or mixing angles.", "date": "2015-10-06", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Journal of High Energy Physics", "volume": "2015", "number": "10", "publisher": "Springer", "pagerange": "Art.

By allowing an experimenter's knowledge to be updated by the measurement process, this formulation resolves a tension between the fact that the entropy of a statistical system can sometimes fluctuate downward and the information-theoretic idea that knowledge of a stochastically evolving system degrades over time. The Bayesian second law can be written as \u0394H(\u03c1_m,\u03c1)+(2)F|M \u2a7e 0, where \u0394H(\u03c1_m,\u03c1) is the change in the cross entropy between the original phase-space\nprobability distribution \u03c1 and the measurement-updated distribution \u03c1_m and (2)F|m is the expectation value of a\ngeneralized heat flow out of the system.

", "abstract": "The cosmic accretion of both dark matter and baryons into halos is typically measured using some evolving virial relation, but recent work suggests that most halo growth at late cosmic time (z \u227e 2) is not physical but is rather the by-product of an evolving virial radius (\"pseudo-evolution\"). Using Omega25, a suite of cosmological simulations that incorporate both dark matter and gas dynamics with differing treatments of gas cooling, star formation, and thermal feedback, we systematically explore the physics that governs cosmic accretion into halos and their galaxies. Physically meaningful cosmic accretion of both dark matter and baryons occurs at z \u2273 1 across our halo mass range: M_(200m) = 10^(11-14) M_\u2299. However, dark matter, because it is dissipationless, is deposited (in a time-average sense) at \u2273 R_(200m) (z) in a shell-like manner, such that dark matter mass and density experience little-to-no physical growth at any radius within a halo at z < 1. In contrast, gas, because it is able to cool radiatively, experiences significant accretion at all radii, at a rate that roughly tracks the accretion rate at R_(200m), at all redshifts. Infalling gas starts to decouple from dark matter at \u22482 R_(200m) and continues to accrete to smaller radii until the onset of strong angular-momentum support at \u22480.1 R_(200m). Thus, while the growth of dark matter is subject to pseudo-evolution, the growth of baryons is not. The fact that the accretion rate of gas on galactic scales tracks the accretion rate near R_(200m) provides insight into the tight relations between the masses/sizes of galaxies and those of their host halos across cosmic time.", "date": "2015-07-20", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Astrophysical Journal", "volume": "808", "number": "1", "publisher": "American Astronomical Society", "pagerange": "Art.

We show how to find a special combination of integrals that allows the relation to exist, and how to reconstruct the terms with one-loop integrals squared. The reconstruction relies on the observation that integrals across different loop orders can have support on the same generalized unitarity cuts and can share global poles. We discuss the appearance of nonhomologous integration contours in multivariate residues. Their origin can be understood in simple terms, and their existence enables us to distinguish contributions from different integrals. Our analysis suggests that maximal and near-maximal cuts can be used to infer the existence of integral identities more generally.", "date": "2015-07-15", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Physical Review D", "volume": "92", "number": "2", "publisher": "American Physical Society", "pagerange": "Art.

", "abstract": "It has been shown that fragmentation within self-gravitating, turbulent molecular clouds ('turbulent fragmentation') can naturally explain the observed properties of protostellar cores, including the core mass function (CMF). Here, we extend recently developed analytic models for turbulent fragmentation to follow the time-dependent hierarchical fragmentation of self-gravitating cores, until they reach effectively infinite density (and form stars). We show that turbulent fragmentation robustly predicts two key features of the initial mass function (IMF). First, a high-mass power-law scaling very close to the Salpeter slope, which is a generic consequence of the scale-free nature of turbulence and self-gravity. We predict the IMF slope (\u22122.3) is slightly steeper than the CMF slope (\u22122.1), owing to the slower collapse and easier fragmentation of large cores. Secondly, a turnover mass, which is set by a combination of the CMF turnover mass (a couple solar masses, determined by the 'sonic scale' of galactic turbulence, and so weakly dependent on galaxy properties), and the equation of state (EOS). A 'soft' EOS with polytropic index \u03b3 < 1.0 predicts that the IMF slope becomes 'shallow' below the sonic scale, but fails to produce the full turnover observed. An EOS, which becomes 'stiff' at sufficiently low surface densities \u03a3gas \u223c 5000\u2009M_\u2299\u2009pc^(\u22122), and/or models, where each collapsing core is able to heat and effectively stiffen the EOS of a modest mass (\u223c0.02\u2009M_\u2299) of surrounding gas, are able to reproduce the observed turnover.

For the Higgs signal, we include gluon fusion (GF) and vector boson fusion (VBF) production channels, while for the background we consider all tree-level contributions, including pure EW effects (O(\u03b1^4_(QED))) and QCD contributions (O(\u03b1^2_(QED) \u03b1^2_s)), plus the loop-induced gluon-initiated process. After convolution with the experimental mass resolution, the main effect of the interference is to shift the position of the mass peak, as in the inclusive GF case studied previously. The apparent mass shift is small in magnitude but strongly dependent on the Higgs width, potentially allowing for a measurement of, or bound on, the width itself. In the H(\u2192\u03b3\u03b3)+2\u2009jets channel, the VBF and GF contributions generate shifts of opposite signs which largely cancel, depending on the sets of cuts used, to as little as 5 MeV (toward a lower Higgs mass). The small magnitude of the shift makes this channel a good reference mass for measuring the inclusive mass shift of around 60 MeV in the Standard Model.", "date": "2015-07-01", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Physical Review D", "volume": "92", "number": "1", "publisher": "American Physical Society", "pagerange": "Art.

", "abstract": "In the Local Group (LG), almost all satellite dwarf galaxies that are within the virial radius of the Milky Way (MW) and Andromeda (M31) exhibit strong environmental influence. The orbital histories of these satellites provide the key to understanding the role of the MW/M31 halo, lower-mass groups, and cosmic reionization on the evolution of dwarf galaxies. We examine the virial-infall histories of satellites with M_star = 10^(3-9) M_\u2299 using the Exploring the Local Volume in Simulations suite of cosmological zoom-in dissipationless simulations of 48 MW/M31-like halos. Satellites at z = 0 fell into the MW/M31 halos typically 5-8 Gyr ago at z = 0.5-1. However, they first fell into any host halo typically 7-10 Gyr ago at z = 0.7-1.5. This difference arises because many satellites experienced \"group preprocessing\" in another host halo, typically of M_vir ~ 10^(10-12) M_\u2299, before falling into the MW/M31 halos. Satellites with lower mass and/or those closer to the MW/M31 fell in earlier and are more likely to have experienced group preprocessing; half of all satellites with M_star < 10^6 M_\u2299 were preprocessed in a group. Infalling groups also drive most satellite\u2013satellite mergers within the MW/M31 halos. Finally, none of the surviving satellites at z = 0 were within the virial radius of their MW/M31 halo during reionization (z > 6), and only <4% were satellites of any other host halo during reionization. Thus, effects of cosmic reionization versus host-halo environment on the formation histories of surviving dwarf galaxies in the LG occurred at distinct epochs, separated typically by 2-4 Gyr, so they are separable theoretically and, in principle, observationally.", "date": "2015-07-01", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Astrophysical Journal", "volume": "807", "number": "1", "publisher": "American Astronomical Society", "pagerange": "Art.

", "abstract": "The multiscale entanglement renormalization ansatz (MERA) is a tensor network that provides an efficient way of variationally estimating the ground state of a critical quantum system. The network geometry resembles a discretization of spatial slices of an anti\u2013de Sitter (AdS) spacetime and \"geodesics\" in the MERA reproduce the Ryu-Takayanagi formula for the entanglement entropy of a boundary region in terms of bulk properties. It has therefore been suggested that there could be an AdS/MERA correspondence, relating states in the Hilbert space of the boundary quantum system to ones defined on the bulk lattice. Here we investigate this proposal and derive necessary conditions for it to apply, using geometric features and entropy inequalities that we expect to hold in the bulk. We show that, perhaps unsurprisingly, the MERA lattice can only describe physics on length scales larger than the AdS radius. Further, using the covariant entropy bound in the bulk, we show that there are no conventional MERA parameters that completely reproduce bulk physics even on super-AdS scales. We suggest modifications or generalizations of this kind of tensor network that may be able to provide a more robust correspondence.", "date": "2015-06-29", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Physical Review D", "volume": "91", "number": "12", "publisher": "American Physical Society", "pagerange": "Art.

", "abstract": "We present two new Lagrangian methods for hydrodynamics, in a systematic comparison with moving-mesh, smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH), and stationary (non-moving) grid methods. The new methods are designed to simultaneously capture advantages of both SPH and grid-based/adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) schemes. They are based on a kernel discretization of the volume coupled to a high-order matrix gradient estimator and a Riemann solver acting over the volume 'overlap'. We implement and test a parallel, second-order version of the method with self-gravity and cosmological integration, in the code gizmo:1 this maintains exact mass, energy and momentum conservation; exhibits superior angular momentum conservation compared to all other methods we study; does not require 'artificial diffusion' terms; and allows the fluid elements to move with the flow, so resolution is automatically adaptive. We consider a large suite of test problems, and find that on all problems the new methods appear competitive with moving-mesh schemes, with some advantages (particularly in angular momentum conservation), at the cost of enhanced noise. The new methods have many advantages versus SPH: proper convergence, good capturing of fluid-mixing instabilities, dramatically reduced 'particle noise' and numerical viscosity, more accurate sub-sonic flow evolution, and sharp shock-capturing. Advantages versus non-moving meshes include: automatic adaptivity, dramatically reduced advection errors and numerical overmixing, velocity-independent errors, accurate coupling to gravity, good angular momentum conservation and elimination of 'grid alignment' effects. We can, for example, follow hundreds of orbits of gaseous discs, while AMR and SPH methods break down in a few orbits. However, fixed meshes minimize 'grid noise'.

This possibility evades all current constraints that assume that the self-interacting component makes up the majority of the dark matter. Nevertheless, even a small fraction of ultra-strongly self-interacting dark matter (uSIDM) can have observable consequences on astrophysical scales. In particular, the uSIDM subcomponent can undergo gravothermal collapse and form seed black holes in the center of a halo. These seed black holes, which form within several hundred halo interaction times, contain a few percent of the total uSIDM mass in the halo. For reasonable values of \u03c3f, these black holes can form at high enough redshifts to grow to \u223c10^9M_\u2299 quasars by z\u22736, alleviating tension within the standard \u039bCDM cosmology.

", "abstract": "We use high-resolution cosmological zoom-in simulations from the FIRE (Feedback in Realistic Environments) project to make predictions for the covering fractions of neutral hydrogen around galaxies at z = 2\u20134. These simulations resolve the interstellar medium of galaxies and explicitly implement a comprehensive set of stellar feedback mechanisms. Our simulation sample consists of 16 main haloes covering the mass range M_h \u2248 10^9\u20136 \u00d7 10^(12) M_\u2299 at z = 2, including 12 haloes in the mass range M_h \u223c 10^(11)\u201310^(12) M_\u2299 corresponding to Lyman break galaxies (LBGs). We process our simulations with a ray tracing method to compute the ionization state of the gas. Galactic winds increase the H\u2009i covering fractions in galaxy haloes by direct ejection of cool gas from galaxies and through interactions with gas inflowing from the intergalactic medium. Our simulations predict H\u2009i covering fractions for Lyman limit systems (LLSs) consistent with measurements around z \u223c 2\u20132.5 LBGs; these covering fractions are a factor \u223c2 higher than our previous calculations without galactic winds. The fractions of H\u2009i absorbers arising in inflows and in outflows are on average \u223c50\u2009per\u2009cent but exhibit significant time variability, ranging from \u223c10 to \u223c90\u2009per\u2009cent. For our most massive haloes, we find a factor \u223c3 deficit in the LLS covering fraction relative to what is measured around quasars at z \u223c 2, suggesting that the presence of a quasar may affect the properties of halo gas on \u223c100 kpc scales. The predicted covering fractions, which decrease with time, peak at M_h \u223c 10^(11)\u201310^(12) M_\u2299, near the peak of the star formation efficiency in dark matter haloes.

We are interested in bound states with a large number N of x particles. A Fermi gas model is used to numerically determine the dependence of the radius R of these bound states on N and also the dependence of the binding energy on N. Since scalar interactions with relativistic x's are suppressed two regimes emerge. For modest values of N the state is composed of non-relativistic x particles. In this regime as N increases R decreases. Eventually the core region becomes relativistic and the size of the state starts to increase as N increases. As a result, for fixed Yukawa coupling and x mass, there is a minimum sized state that occurs roughly at the value of N where the core region first becomes relativistic. As an application to dark matter, our analysis offers the possibility of having a supermassive thermal DM candidate. We also compute an elastic scattering form factor that can be relevant for direct detection if the dark matter is composed of such x particles.", "date": "2015-02-03", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Journal of High Energy Physics", "volume": "2015", "number": "2", "publisher": "Springer", "pagerange": "Art.

", "abstract": "Dust grains in neutral gas behave as aerodynamic particles, so they can develop large local density fluctuations entirely independent of gas density fluctuations. Specifically, gas turbulence can drive order-of-magnitude \"resonant\" fluctuations in the dust density on scales\nwhere the gas stopping/drag timescale is comparable to the turbulent eddy turnover time. Here we show that for large grains (size \u2273 0.1 \u00b5m, containing most grain mass) in sufficiently large molecular clouds (radii \u2273 1 - 10pc, masses \u2273 10^4M_\u2299), this scale becomes longer than the\ncharacteristic sizes of pre-stellar cores (the sonic length), so large fluctuations in the dust-to-gas ratio are imprinted on cores. As a result, star clusters and protostellar disks formed in large clouds should exhibit substantial abundance spreads in the elements preferentially\nfound in large grains (C, O). This naturally predicts populations of carbon-enhanced stars,\ncertain highly unusual stellar populations observed in nearby open clusters, and may explain\nthe \"UV upturn\" in early-type galaxies. It will also dramatically change planet formation in\nthe resulting protostellar disks, by preferentially \"seeding\" disks with an enhancement in large\ncarbonaceous or silicate grains. The relevant threshold for this behavior scales simply with\ncloud densities and temperatures, making straightforward predictions for clusters in starbursts\nand high-redshift galaxies. Because of the selective sorting by size, this process is not visible\nin extinction mapping. We also predict the shape of the abundance distribution \u2013 when these\nfluctuations occur, a small fraction of the cores are actually seeded with abundances Z ~ 100\u3008Z\u3009 such that they are almost \"totally metal\" (Z ~ 1)! Assuming the cores collapse, these\ntotally metal stars would be rare (1 in ~ 10^4 in clusters where this occurs), but represent a\nfundamentally new stellar evolution channel.", "date": "2014-12-10", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Astrophysical Journal", "volume": "797", "number": "1", "publisher": "American Astronomical Society", "pagerange": "Art.

", "abstract": "We present a series of high-resolution cosmological simulations of galaxy formation to z = 0, spanning halo masses \u223c10^8\u201310^(13)\u2009M\u2299, and stellar masses \u223c10^4\u201310^(11)\u2009M\u2299. Our simulations include fully explicit treatment of the multiphase interstellar medium and stellar feedback. The stellar feedback inputs (energy, momentum, mass, and metal fluxes) are taken directly from stellar population models. These sources of feedback, with zero adjusted parameters, reproduce the observed relation between stellar and halo mass up to M_(halo) \u223c 10^(12)\u2009M\u2299. We predict weak redshift evolution in the M*\u2013M_(halo) relation, consistent with current constraints to z > 6. We find that the M*\u2013M_(halo) relation is insensitive to numerical details, but is sensitive to feedback physics. Simulations with only supernova feedback fail to reproduce observed stellar masses, particularly in dwarf and high-redshift galaxies: radiative feedback (photoheating and radiation pressure) is necessary to destroy giant molecular clouds and enable efficient coupling of later supernovae to the gas. Star formation rates (SFRs) agree well with the observed Kennicutt relation at all redshifts. The galaxy-averaged Kennicutt relation is very different from the numerically imposed law for converting gas into stars, and is determined by self-regulation via stellar feedback. Feedback reduces SFRs and produces reservoirs of gas that lead to rising late-time star formation histories, significantly different from halo accretion histories. Feedback also produces large short-time-scale variability in galactic SFRs, especially in dwarfs. These properties are not captured by common 'sub-grid' wind models.", "date": "2014-11-21", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society", "volume": "445", "number": "1", "publisher": "Royal Astronomical Society", "pagerange": "581-603", "id_number": "CaltechAUTHORS:20131125-073705692", "issn": "0035-8711", "official_url": "https://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechAUTHORS:20131125-073705692", "rights": "No commercial reproduction, distribution, display or performance rights in this work are provided.", "funders": { "items": [ { "agency": "NSF", "grant_number": "OCI-1053575" }, { "agency": "NSF", "grant_number": "TG-AST120025" }, { "agency": "NSF", "grant_number": "TG-AST130039" }, { "agency": "NSF", "grant_number": "TGTG- AST090039" }, { "agency": "UC-HiPACC" }, { "agency": "NASA Einstein Fellowship", "grant_number": "PF1-120083" }, { "agency": "NASA", "grant_number": "NAS8-03060" }, { "agency": "Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation", "grant_number": "776" }, { "agency": "Fulbright/MICINN Program" }, { "agency": "NASA", "grant_number": "NNX09AG01G" }, { "agency": "University of California San Diego" }, { "agency": "NASA", "grant_number": "NNX11AI97G" }, { "agency": "Miller Institute for Basic Research in Science" }, { "agency": "NASA Einstein Postdoctoral Fellowship", "grant_number": "PF3-140106" }, { "agency": "NASA", "grant_number": "10-ATP10-0187" }, { "agency": "NASA", "grant_number": "12-ATP12-0183" }, { "agency": "Simons Foundation" }, { "agency": "David and Lucile Packard Foundation" }, { "agency": "Thomas Alison Schneider Chair in Physics" } ] }, "local_group": { "items": [ { "id": "Moore-Center-for-Theoretical-Cosmology-and-Physics" } ] }, "doi": "10.1093/mnras/stu1738", "primary_object": { "basename": "1311.2073v1.pdf", "url": "https://authors.library.caltech.edu/records/qmzmc-sjx82/files/1311.2073v1.pdf" }, "related_objects": [ { "basename": "MNRAS-2014-Hopkins-581-603.pdf", "url": "https://authors.library.caltech.edu/records/qmzmc-sjx82/files/MNRAS-2014-Hopkins-581-603.pdf" } ], "pub_year": "2014", "author_list": "Hopkins, Philip F.; Kere\u0161, Du\u0161an; et el." }, { "id": "https://authors.library.caltech.edu/records/wnc0f-p7h97", "eprint_id": 49762, "eprint_status": "archive", "datestamp": "2023-08-20 03:35:56", "lastmod": "2023-10-17 22:10:25", "type": "article", "metadata_visibility": "show", "creators": { "items": [ { "id": "Boddy-K-K", "name": { "family": "Boddy", "given": "Kimberly K." }, "orcid": "0000-0003-1928-4667" }, { "id": "Feng-Jonathan-L", "name": { "family": "Feng", "given": "Jonathan L." } }, { "id": "Kaplinghat-M", "name": { "family": "Kaplinghat", "given": "Manoj" } }, { "id": "Shadmi-Y", "name": { "family": "Shadmi", "given": "Yael" } }, { "id": "Tait-T-M-P", "name": { "family": "Tait", "given": "Timothy M.

We begin by examining the requirements for a simplified model (parametrized by the couplings and masses of dark matter (DM) and mediator particles) to reproduce the GCE via \u03c7\u03c7\u2192\u0192\u0192^bar, while simultaneously thermally producing the observed relic abundance. We apply the results of our simplified model to the Z_3 NMSSM for Singlino/Higgsino~(S/H) or Bino/Higgsino~(B/H) DM. In the case of S/H DM, we find that the DM must be be very close to a pseudoscalar resonance to be viable, and large tan \u03b2 and positive values of \u03bc are preferred for evading direct detection constraints while simultaneously obtaining the observed Higgs mass. In the case of B/H DM, by contrast, the situation is much less tuned: annihilation generally occurs off-resonance, and for large tan \u03b2 direct detection constraints are easily satisfied by choosing \u03bc sufficiently large and negative. The B/H model generally has a light, largely MSSM-like pseudoscalar with no accompanying charged Higgs, which could be searched for at the LHC.", "date": "2014-10-01", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Physical Review D", "volume": "90", "number": "7", "publisher": "American Physical Society", "pagerange": "Art.

We use the canonical measure on trajectories in classical phase space, specialized to the case of flat universes with a single scalar field. While there is no exact analytic expression for the measure, we are able to derive conditions that determine its behavior. For a quadratic potential V(\u03d5)=m^2\u03d5^2/2 with m=2\u00d710^(13) GeV and cutoff at M_(Pl)=2.4\u00d710^(18) GeV, we find an expectation value of 2\u00d71010 e-folds on the set of FRW trajectories. For cosine inflation V(\u03d5)=\u039b^4[1\u2212cos(\u03d5/f)] with f=1.5\u00d710^(19) GeV, we find that the expected total number of e-folds is 50, which would just satisfy the observed requirements of our own Universe; if f is larger, more than 50 e-folds are generically attained.

", "abstract": "We analyze the constraints on CP-violating, flavor conserving two Higgs doublet models implied by measurements of Higgs boson properties at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and by the nonobservation of permanent electric dipole moments (EDMs) of molecules, atoms, and neutrons. We find that the LHC and EDM constraints are largely complementary, with the LHC studies constraining the mixing between the neutral CP-even states and the EDMs probing the effect of mixing between the CP-even and CP-odd scalars.

We show that viable models of dark matter with this large cross section are straightforwardly realized with non-Abelian hidden sectors. In the simplest of such models, the hidden sector is a pure gauge theory, and the dark matter is composed of hidden glueballs with a mass around 100 MeV. Alternatively, the hidden sector may be a supersymmetric pure gauge theory with a \u223c10\u2009\u2009TeV gluino thermal relic. In this case, the dark matter is largely composed of glueballinos that strongly self interact through the exchange of light glueballs. We present a unified framework that realizes both of these possibilities in anomaly-mediated supersymmetry breaking, where, depending on a few model parameters, the dark matter may be composed of hidden glueballinos, hidden glueballs, or a mixture of the two. These models provide simple examples of multicomponent dark matter, have interesting implications for particle physics and cosmology, and include cases where a subdominant component of dark matter may be extremely strongly self interacting, with interesting astrophysical consequences.", "date": "2014-06-16", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Physical Review D", "volume": "89", "number": "11", "publisher": "American Physical Society", "pagerange": "Art.

", "abstract": "The Galactic Center is one of the most promising targets for indirect detection of dark matter with gamma rays. We investigate the sensitivity of the upcoming Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) to dark matter annihilation and decay in the Galactic Center. As the inner density profile of the Milky Way's dark matter halo is uncertain, we study the impact of the slope of the Galactic density profile, inwards of the Sun, on the prospects for detecting a dark matter signal with CTA. Adopting the Ring Method to define the signal and background regions in an ON-OFF analysis approach, we find that the sensitivity achieved by CTA to annihilation signals is strongly dependent on the inner profile slope, whereas the dependence is more mild in the case of dark matter decay. Surprisingly, we find that the optimal choice of signal and background regions is virtually independent of the assumed density profile. For the fiducial case of a Navarro-Frenk-White profile, we find that CTA will be able to probe annihilation cross-sections well below the canonical thermal relic value for dark matter masses from a few tens of GeV up to similar to 5 TeV for annihilation to T^+T^- and will achieve only a slightly weaker sensitivity for annihilation to bb or \u00b5^+\u00b5^-. CTA will improve significantly on current sensitivity to annihilation signals for dark matter masses above similar to 100 GeV, covering parameter space that is complementary to that probed by searches with the Fermi Large Area Telescope. The interpretation of apparent excesses in the measured cosmic-ray electron and positron spectra as signals of dark matter decay will also be testable with CTA observations of the Galactic Center. We demonstrate that both for annihilation and for decay, including spectral information for hard channels (such as \u00b5^+\u00b5^- and \u01ac^+T^- leads to enhanced sensitivity for dark matter masses above m_(DM) similar to 200 GeV.", "date": "2014-06", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics", "volume": "2014", "number": "6", "publisher": "IOP", "pagerange": "Art.

", "abstract": "Black holes emit high energy particles which induce a finite density potential for any scalar field \u03d5 coupling to the emitted quanta. Due to energetic considerations, \u03d5 evolves locally to minimize the effective masses of the outgoing states. In theories where \u03d5 resides at a metastable minimum, this effect can drive \u03d5 over its potential barrier and classically catalyze the decay of the vacuum. Because this is not a tunneling process, the decay rate is not exponentially suppressed and a single black hole in our past light cone may be sufficient to activate the decay. Moreover, decaying black holes radiate at ever higher temperatures, so they eventually probe the full spectrum of particles coupling to \u03d5. We present a detailed analysis of vacuum decay catalyzed by a single particle, as well as by a black hole. The former is possible provided large couplings or a weak potential barrier. In contrast, the latter occurs much more easily and places new stringent limits on theories with hierarchical spectra. Finally, we comment on how these constraints apply to the standard model and its extensions, e.g. metastable supersymmetry breaking.", "date": "2014-05-15", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Physical Review D", "volume": "89", "number": "10", "publisher": "American Physical Society", "pagerange": "Art.

Our setup describes a broad spectrum of thermal DM candidates that can naturally accommodate the observed DM abundance but are subject to substantial constraints from current and upcoming direct detection experiments. We identify \"blind spots\" at which the DM-Higgs coupling is identically zero, thus nullifying direct detection constraints on spin independent scattering. Furthermore, we characterize the fine-tuning in mixing angles, i.e. well-tempering, required for thermal freeze-out to accommodate the observed abundance.

Our argument is based on the idea of self-locating uncertainty: in the period between the wave function branching via decoherence and an observer registering the outcome of the measurement, that observer can know the state of the universe precisely without knowing which branch they are on. We show that there is a uniquely rational way to apportion credence in such cases, which leads directly to the Born Rule.

In universes with vanishing spatial curvature, the field variables \u03d5 and \u03d5\u02d9 specify the system completely, defining an effective phase space. We investigate whether one can define a unique conserved measure on this effective phase space, showing that it exists for m^2\u03d5^2 potentials and deriving conditions for its existence in more general theories. We show that apparent attractors are places where this conserved measure diverges in the \u03d5-\u03d5\u02d9 variables and suggest a physical understanding of attractor behavior that is compatible with Liouville's theorem.", "date": "2013-10-15", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Physical Review D", "volume": "88", "number": "8", "publisher": "American Physical Society", "pagerange": "Art.

This conclusion is subject to significant theoretical uncertainties, however, and we provide evidence that it may be far too pessimistic. We evaluate the Higgs boson mass, including the dominant three-loop terms at O(\u03b1_t\u03b1^2_s), in currently viable models. For multi-TeV top squarks, the three-loop corrections can increase the Higgs boson mass by as much as 3 GeV and lower the required top-squark masses to 3\u20134 TeV, greatly improving prospects for supersymmetry discovery at the upcoming run of the LHC and its high-luminosity upgrade.", "date": "2013-09-27", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Physical Review Letters", "volume": "111", "number": "13", "publisher": "American Physical Society", "pagerange": "Art.

If the universe enters a de Sitter vacuum phase that is truly eternal, there will be a finite temperature in empty space and corresponding thermal fluctuations. Among these fluctuations will be intelligent observers, as well as configurations that reproduce any local region of the current universe to arbitrary precision. We discuss the possibility that the escape from this unacceptable situation may be found in known physics: vacuum instability induced by the Higgs field. Avoiding Boltzmann Brains in a measure-independent way requires a decay timescale of order the current age of the universe, which can be achieved if the top quark pole mass is approximately 178 GeV.

Our setup utilizes the two Higgs doublet model plus two complex gauge singlets, the lighter of which is stable dark matter. The dark matter is charged under a global symmetry that is broken in the early universe but restored during the electroweak phase transition. Because the ratio of baryon and dark matter asymmetries is controlled by model parameters, the dark matter need not be light. Thus, new force carriers are unnecessary and the symmetric dark matter abundance can be eliminated via Higgs portal interactions alone. Our model places a rough upper bound on the dark matter mass, and has implications for direct detection experiments and particle colliders.", "date": "2013-09", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Journal of High Energy Physics", "volume": "2013", "number": "9", "publisher": "Springer", "pagerange": "Art.

Current LHC measurements prefer a nonzero phase for tan \u03b2\u22721 and electric dipole moment constraints still allow an order-one phase for tan \u03b2\u223c1, which gives sufficient room to generate the correct cosmic baryon asymmetry.

In the early universe, X is thermalized by O mediated scattering processes before it decouples relativistically and evolves into a sizable fraction of the total energy density.

The decay can also produce a primordial abundance of dark matter. Because X may be as light as a TeV, viable regions of parameter space lie within reach of experimental probes of n-n oscillation, flavor physics, and proton decay.", "date": "2013-07-09", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Physical Review D", "volume": "88", "number": "1", "publisher": "American Physical Society", "pagerange": "Art.

", "abstract": "In Lorentzian AdS/CFT there exists a mapping between local bulk operators and nonlocal conformal field theory (CFT) operators. In global anti-de Sitter (AdS) this mapping can be found through use of bulk equations of motion and allows the nonlocal CFT operator to be expressed as a local operator smeared over a range of positions and times. We argue that such a construction is not possible if there are bulk normal modes with exponentially small near boundary imprint. We show that the AdS-Schwarzschild background is such a case, with the horizon introducing modes with angular momentum much larger than frequency, causing them to be trapped by the centrifugal barrier. More generally, we argue that any barrier in the radial effective potential which prevents null geodesics from reaching the boundary will lead to modes with vanishingly small near boundary imprint, thereby obstructing the existence of a smearing function. While one may have thought the bulk-boundary dictionary for low curvature regions, such as the exterior of a black hole, should be as in empty AdS, our results demonstrate otherwise.", "date": "2013-07-08", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Physical Review D", "volume": "88", "number": "2", "publisher": "American Physical Society", "pagerange": "Art.

", "abstract": "Primordial non-Gaussianity of local type is predicted to lead to enhanced halo clustering on very large scales. Photometric quasars, which can be seen from cosmological redshifts z > 2 even in wide-shallow optical surveys, are promising tracers for constraining non-Gaussianity using this effect. However, large-scale systematics can also mimic this signature of non-Gaussianity. In order to assess the contribution of systematic effects, we cross-correlate overdensity maps of photometric quasars from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Data Release 6 (DR6) in different redshift ranges. We find that the maps are significantly correlated on large scales, even though we expect the angular distributions of quasars at different redshifts to be uncorrelated. This implies that the quasar maps are contaminated with systematic errors. We investigate the use of external templates that provide information on the spatial dependence of potential systematic errors to reduce the level of spurious clustering in the quasar data. We find that templates associated with stellar density, the stellar color locus, airmass, and seeing are major contaminants of the quasar maps, with seeing having the largest effect. Using template projection, we are able to decrease the significance of the cross-correlation measurement on the largest scales from 9.2\u03c3 to 5.4\u03c3. Although this is an improvement, the remaining cross-correlation suggests the contamination in this quasar sample is too great to allow a competitive constraint on f_NL by correlations internal to this sample. The SDSS quasar catalog exhibits spurious number density fluctuations of approximately 2% rms, and we need a contamination level less than 1% (0.6%) in order to measure values of f_NL less than 100 (10). Properly dealing with these systematics will be paramount for future large scale structure surveys that seek to constrain non-Gaussianity.", "date": "2013-06", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific", "volume": "125", "number": "928", "publisher": "Astronomical Society of the Pacific", "pagerange": "705-718", "id_number": "CaltechAUTHORS:20130812-092104251", "issn": "0004-6280", "official_url": "https://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechAUTHORS:20130812-092104251", "rights": "No commercial reproduction, distribution, display or performance rights in this work are provided.", "funders": { "items": [ { "agency": "Department of Energy (DOE)", "grant_number": "DE-FG03-92-ER40701" }, { "agency": "NASA", "grant_number": "NNG05GF69G" }, { "agency": "Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation" }, { "agency": "NASA Postdoctoral Program" }, { "agency": "NASA/JPL" }, { "agency": "Alfred P.

We refer to this type of scenario as the vector-like portal. In some asymmetric dark matter models there are potential naturalness issues for the low energy effective theory. We address that issue in themodels we consider by starting with a Lagrangian that is the most general renormalizable one consistent with the gauge (and discrete) symmetries and showing the low energy effective theory automatically has the required form as a consequence of the symmetries of the full theory.

The extra dimensions are taken to be a disordered crystal of branes, with randomly distributed tensions of order the fundamental scale. Such geometries bind the graviton and thus allow for arbitrarily large extra dimensions even when the curvature is small. Thus this model is quite distinct from that of Randall and Sundrum where localization is a consequence of curvature effects in the bulk. The hierarchy problem can be solved by having the standard model brane live a distance away from the brane on which the graviton is localized. The statistical properties of the system are worked out and it is shown that the scenario leads to a continuum of four dimensional theories with differing strengths of gravitational interactions.

Though these contributions are suppressed by powers of m_Q/p\u22a5, they can be enhanced by inverse powers of v, the relative velocity between heavy quarks in the quarkonium. In the limit p\u22a5\u226bm_Q, short-distance production can be thought of as the fragmentation of a pair of partons (i.e., the heavy quark and antiquark) into the final state quarkonium.

", "abstract": "We predict the formation histories, properties and descendants of Lyman-break galaxies (LBGs) in the \u039b cold dark matter cosmology. In our model, which incorporates a top-heavy initial mass function in starbursts, we find that most LBGs are starbursts triggered by minor mergers of galaxies. The duration of the LBG phase is predicted to be quite short, \u223c20\u201360 Myr. We investigate the distributions of stellar and halo masses and morphologies for bright (L_(UV) > L^*_(UV)) and faint (L_UV > 0.1L^*_(UV)) LBGs at z= 3, 6 and 10 [where we classify LBGs according to their rest-frame ultraviolet (UV) luminosities relative the observed characteristic luminosity L^*_(UV) at z\u22483]. Bright LBGs at z=3 are predicted to have median stellar masses \u223c 1 \u00d7 10^9 h^(\u22121) M_\u2299 and host halo masses \u223c 3 \u00d7 10^(11) h^(\u22121) M_\u2299, and be typically mildly disc dominated in stellar mass. On the other hand, faint LBGs at z=10 are predicted to have median stellar masses of only \u223c 1 \u00d7 10^7 h^(\u22121) M_\u2299 and host halo masses \u223c 2 \u00d7 10^(10) h^(\u22121) M_\u2299, and be generally bulge dominated. Bright LBGs at z=3 evolve to present-day galaxies with median stellar mass \u223c 5 \u00d7 10^(10) h^(\u22121) M_\u2299 (comparable to the Milky Way), consisting of roughly equal numbers of disc- and bulge-dominated systems, and hosted by haloes with median mass \u223c 2 \u00d7 10^(13) h^(\u22121) M_\u2299 (corresponding to medium-size galaxy groups). The model predicts that 40 per cent of Milky Way mass galaxies at the present day have a bright LBG progenitor in the redshift range 3 < z < 4, while 95 per cent have a faint LBG progenitor in the same redshift range and 7 per cent have a faint LBG progenitor at 10 < z < 11. With our multiwavelength model, we also investigate the overlap between the LBG population and that of selected submillimetre galaxies (SMGs); at z=3, only \u223c 1 per cent of bright LBGs are also predicted to be bright SMGs (with an inline imagem flux in excess of 5 mJy).", "date": "2012-07", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society", "volume": "423", "number": "4", "publisher": "Royal Astronomical Society", "pagerange": "3709-3726", "id_number": "CaltechAUTHORS:20120807-100755260", "issn": "0035-8711", "official_url": "https://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechAUTHORS:20120807-100755260", "rights": "No commercial reproduction, distribution, display or performance rights in this work are provided.", "funders": { "items": [ { "agency": "European Research Council (ERC)" }, { "agency": "Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC)" }, { "agency": "FWF Der Wissenschaftsfonds", "grant_number": "I164" }, { "agency": "Royal Society" }, { "agency": "Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation" }, { "agency": "Marie Curie Fellowship", "grant_number": "MEST-CT-2005-021074" } ] }, "local_group": { "items": [ { "id": "Moore-Center-for-Theoretical-Cosmology-and-Physics" } ] }, "doi": "10.1111/j.1365-2966.2012.21167.x", "primary_object": { "basename": "Gonzalez2012p19030Mon_Not_R_Astron_Soc.pdf", "url": "https://authors.library.caltech.edu/records/dtrz6-k7x40/files/Gonzalez2012p19030Mon_Not_R_Astron_Soc.pdf" }, "pub_year": "2012", "author_list": "Gonz\u00e1lez, Juan E.; Lacey, C.

We use a Fisher matrix approach, adopt self-calibration for the mass-observable scaling relation, and evaluate constraints for the South Pole Telescope (SPT), Planck, SPT polarimeter (SPTpol), and Atacama Cosmology Telescope polarimeter (ACTpol) surveys. The modified gravity effects on the mass function, halo bias, matter power spectrum, and mass-observable relation are taken into account. We show that, relying on number counts only, the Planck cluster catalog is expected to reduce current upper limits by about a factor of 4, to \u03c3_f_(R0)=2\u00d710^(-5) (68% confidence level) while SPT, SPTpol, and ACTpol yield about 3\u00d710^(-5). Adding the cluster power spectrum further improves the constraints to \u03c3_f_(R0)=5\u00d710^(-6) for Planck and \u03c3_f_(R0)=2\u00d710^(-5) for SPTpol, pushing cluster constraints significantly beyond the limit where number counts have no constraining power due to the chameleon screening mechanism.

", "abstract": "The observed stellar mass function (SMF) is very different to the halo mass function predicted by \u039b cold dark matter (\u039bCDM), and it is widely accepted that this is due to energy feedback from supernovae and black holes. However, the strength and form of this feedback is not understood. In this paper, we use the phenomenological model galform to explore how galaxy formation depends on the strength and halo mass dependence of feedback. We focus on 'expulsion' models in which the wind mass loading, \u03b2, is proportional to 1/v^n_(disc), with n= 0, 1, 2 and contrast these models with the successful Bower et al. model (B8W7), for which \u03b2 \u03b1 1/v^(3.2)_(disc). A crucial development is that our code explicitly accounts for the recapture of expelled gas as the system's halo mass (and thus gravitational potential) increases. While models with high wind speed and mass loading result in a poor match to the observed SMF, a model with slower wind speed matches the flat portion of the SMF at M_\u2605\u223c 10^9\u201310^(11) h^(\u22121) M_\u2299. When combined with active galactic nucleus feedback, the model provides a good description of the observed SMF above 10^9 h^(\u22121) M_\u2299. In order to explore the impact of different feedback schemes further, we examine how the expulsion models compare with a further range of observational data, contrasting the results with the B8W7 model. In the expulsion models, the brightest galaxies are assembled more recently, and the specific star formation rates of galaxies decrease strongly with decreasing stellar mass. The expulsion models tend to have a cosmic star formation density that is dominated by lower mass galaxies at z= 1\u20133, and dominated by high-mass galaxies at low redshift. These trends are in conflict with observational data, but the comparison highlights some deficiencies of the B8W7 model also. The experiments in this paper not only give us important physical insight into the impact of the feedback process on the formation histories of galaxies, but the strong mass dependence of feedback adopted in B8W7 still appears to provide the most promising description of the observed Universe.", "date": "2012-06", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society", "volume": "422", "number": "4", "publisher": "Royal Astronomical Society", "pagerange": "2816-2840", "id_number": "CaltechAUTHORS:20120620-075426733", "issn": "0035-8711", "official_url": "https://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechAUTHORS:20120620-075426733", "rights": "No commercial reproduction, distribution, display or performance rights in this work are provided.", "funders": { "items": [ { "agency": "Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation" }, { "agency": "Australian Research Council Discovery Project grants" }, { "agency": "Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC)" } ] }, "local_group": { "items": [ { "id": "Moore-Center-for-Theoretical-Cosmology-and-Physics" } ] }, "doi": "10.1111/j.1365-2966.2012.20516.x", "primary_object": { "basename": "Bower2012p18511Mon_Not_R_Astron_Soc.pdf", "url": "https://authors.library.caltech.edu/records/rdjk3-se151/files/Bower2012p18511Mon_Not_R_Astron_Soc.pdf" }, "pub_year": "2012", "author_list": "Bower, R.

It is shown that TeV scale dark matter is realized, independent of the value of the other scalar\u02bcs VEV. The impact of the new scalars on the Higgs potential is also discussed.

", "abstract": "Dark matter halo merger trees are now routinely extracted from cosmological simulations of structure formation. These trees are frequently used as inputs to semi-analytic models of galaxy formation to provide the backbone within which galaxy formation takes place. By necessity, these merger trees are constructed from a finite set of discrete 'snapshots' of the N-body simulation and so have a limited temporal resolution. To date, there has been little consideration of how this temporal resolution affects the properties of galaxies formed within these trees. In particular, the question of how many snapshots are needed to achieve convergence in galaxy properties has not be answered. Therefore, we study the convergence in the stellar and total baryonic masses of galaxies, distribution of merger times, stellar mass functions and star formation rates in the Galacticus model of galaxy formation as a function of the number of 'snapshot' times used to represent dark matter halo merger trees. When utilizing snapshots between z= 20 and 0, we find that at least 128 snapshots are required to achieve convergence to within 5 per cent for galaxy masses, while 64 snapshots give convergence only to within 10 per cent for high-mass haloes. This convergence is obtained for mean quantities averaged over large samples of galaxies \u2013 significant variance for individual galaxies remains even when using very large numbers of snapshots. We find only weak dependence of the rate of convergence on the distribution of snapshots in time \u2013 snapshots spaced uniformly in the expansion factor, uniformly in the logarithm of expansion factor or uniformly in the logarithm of critical overdensity for collapse work equally well in almost all cases. We provide input parameters to Galacticus which allow this type of convergence study to be tuned to other simulations and to be carried out for other galaxy properties.", "date": "2012-02", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society", "volume": "419", "number": "4", "publisher": "Royal Astronomical Society", "pagerange": "3590-3603", "id_number": "CaltechAUTHORS:20120316-152525983", "issn": "0035-8711", "official_url": "https://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechAUTHORS:20120316-152525983", "rights": "No commercial reproduction, distribution, display or performance rights in this work are provided.", "funders": { "items": [ { "agency": "Gordon & Betty Moore Foundation" }, { "agency": "Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare (INFN)", "grant_number": "PD51" }, { "agency": "Marie Curie Fellowship", "grant_number": "PITN-GA-2009-238356" }, { "agency": "European Research Council (ERC)", "grant_number": "202781" }, { "agency": "Southern California Center for Galaxy Evolution" }, { "agency": "University of California" }, { "agency": "Amazon in Education Programme" }, { "agency": "Istituto Nazionale di Astrofisica (INAF)" } ] }, "local_group": { "items": [ { "id": "Moore-Center-for-Theoretical-Cosmology-and-Physics" } ] }, "doi": "10.1111/j.1365-2966.2011.20002.x", "primary_object": { "basename": "Benson2012p17432Mon_Not_R_Astron_Soc.pdf", "url": "https://authors.library.caltech.edu/records/2rsbm-0zt34/files/Benson2012p17432Mon_Not_R_Astron_Soc.pdf" }, "pub_year": "2012", "author_list": "Benson, Andrew J.; Borgani, Stefano; et el." }, { "id": "https://authors.library.caltech.edu/records/s5p5m-4g336", "eprint_id": 28896, "eprint_status": "archive", "datestamp": "2023-08-19 09:44:23", "lastmod": "2023-10-24 18:13:31", "type": "article", "metadata_visibility": "show", "creators": { "items": [ { "id": "Benson-A-J", "name": { "family": "Benson", "given": "Andrew J." }, "orcid": "0000-0001-5501-6008" } ] }, "title": "GALACTICUS: A semi-analytic model of galaxy formation", "ispublished": "pub", "full_text_status": "restricted", "keywords": "Galaxies\nCosmology\nGalactic structure\nGalaxy evolution\nGalaxy formation", "note": "\u00a9 2011 Elsevier B.V. \n\nReceived 11 August 2010.

", "abstract": "We use a coupled model of the formation and evolution of galaxies and black holes (BHs) to study the evolution of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) in a cold dark matter universe. The model is embedded in the galaxy formation code galform and predicts the masses, spins and mass accretion histories of BHs in tandem with the formation of their host galaxies. BHs grow by accretion during starbursts, triggered by discs becoming dynamically unstable or by galaxy mergers, and accretion from quasi-hydrostatic hot gas haloes. Using an empirical law for AGN obscuration, our model matches the observed luminosity functions (LFs) of AGNs over a wide range of redshifts. Due to the suppression of cooling in massive haloes by AGN feedback, at low redshift (z\u22722), the brightest quasars (L_(bol)\u2273 10^(46) erg s^(\u22121)) are predicted preferentially to inhabit haloes with masses \u2243 10^(12)\u201310^(13) M_\u2299. The model predicts a hierarchical buildup of BH mass, with the typical mass of actively growing BHs increasing with decreasing redshift. Nevertheless, the model displays clear 'downsizing' as reflected in the differential evolution of the space density of faint and bright AGNs. This arises naturally from the interplay between the starburst and hot gas halo accretion modes. The faint end of the LF is dominated by massive BHs accreting at low rates via a thick disc, primarily during the hot-halo mode. The bright end is populated by BHs accreting close to or above the Eddington limit during the starburst mode. Obscuration plays a central role in determining the observed abundance of AGNs and, hence, in their implied cosmic evolution.", "date": "2012-02", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society", "volume": "419", "number": "4", "publisher": "Royal Astronomical Society", "pagerange": "2797-2820", "id_number": "CaltechAUTHORS:20120319-104412300", "issn": "0035-8711", "official_url": "https://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechAUTHORS:20120319-104412300", "rights": "No commercial reproduction, distribution, display or performance rights in this work are provided.", "funders": { "items": [ { "agency": "Marie Curie Fellowship", "grant_number": "MEST-CT-2005-021074" }, { "agency": "Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation" }, { "agency": "Leverhulme Trust" }, { "agency": "Royal Society" }, { "agency": "Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC)" } ] }, "local_group": { "items": [ { "id": "Moore-Center-for-Theoretical-Cosmology-and-Physics" }, { "id": "TAPIR" } ] }, "doi": "10.1111/j.1365-2966.2011.19931.x", "primary_object": { "basename": "Fanidakis2012p17436Mon_Not_R_Astron_Soc.pdf", "url": "https://authors.library.caltech.edu/records/syg9b-04h83/files/Fanidakis2012p17436Mon_Not_R_Astron_Soc.pdf" }, "pub_year": "2012", "author_list": "Fanidakis, N.; Baugh, C.

However, prior work has focused only on BiPoSHs with even parity. Here we show that there is another set of BiPoSHs with odd parity, and we explore their cosmological applications. We describe systematic artifacts in a CMB map that could be sought by measurement of these odd-parity BiPoSH modes. These BiPoSH modes may also be produced cosmologically through lensing by gravitational waves (GWs), among other sources. We derive expressions for the BiPoSH modes induced by the weak lensing of both scalar and tensor perturbations. We then investigate the possibility of detecting parity-breaking physics, such as chiral GWs, by cross-correlating opposite-parity BiPoSH modes with multipole moments of the CMB polarization. We find that the expected signal-to-noise of such a detection is modest.", "date": "2012-01-25", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Physical Review D", "volume": "85", "number": "2", "publisher": "American Physical Society", "pagerange": "Art.

Here, we retrace these calculations and show that, on scales approaching the horizon, the observed galaxy power spectrum depends strongly on which gauge is assumed to relate the intrinsic fluctuations in galaxy density to matter perturbations through a linear bias relation. Starting from simple physical assumptions, we derive a gauge-invariant expression relating galaxy density perturbations to matter density perturbations on large scales, and show that it reduces to a linear bias relation in a synchronous-comoving gauge, corroborating an assumption made in several recent papers. We evaluate the resulting observed galaxy power spectrum, and show that it leads to corrections similar to an effective non-Gaussian bias corresponding to a local f_(NL,eff)\u22720.5. This number can serve as a guideline as to which surveys need to take into account relativistic effects.

", "abstract": "Measurements of cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropies constrain isocurvature fluctuations between photons and nonrelativistic particles to be subdominant to adiabatic fluctuations. Perturbations in the relative number densities of baryons and dark matter, however, are surprisingly poorly constrained. In fact, baryon-density perturbations of fairly large amplitude may exist if they are compensated by dark-matter perturbations, so that the total density remains unchanged. These compensated isocurvature perturbations (CIPs) leave no imprint on the CMB at observable scales, at linear order. B modes in the CMB polarization are generated at reionization through the modulation of the optical depth by CIPs, but this induced polarization is small. The strongest known constraint \u227210% to the CIP amplitude comes from galaxy-cluster baryon fractions. Here, it is shown that modulation of the baryon density by CIPs at and before the decoupling of Thomson scattering at z\u223c1100 gives rise to CMB effects several orders of magnitude larger than those considered before. Polarization B modes are induced, as are correlations between temperature/polarization spherical-harmonic coefficients of different lm. It is shown that the CIP field at the surface of last scatter can be measured with these off-diagonal correlations. The sensitivity of ongoing and future experiments to these fluctuations is estimated. Data from the WMAP, ACT, SPT, and Spider experiments will be sensitive to fluctuations with amplitude \u223c5\u201310%. The Planck satellite and Polarbear experiment will be sensitive to fluctuations with amplitude \u223c3%. SPTPol, ACTPol, and future space-based polarization methods will probe amplitudes as low as \u223c0.4%\u20130.6%. In the cosmic-variance limit, the smallest CIPs that could be detected with the CMB are of amplitude \u223c0.05%.", "date": "2011-12-16", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Physical Review D", "volume": "84", "number": "12", "publisher": "American Physical Society", "pagerange": "Art.

", "abstract": "We study the evolution of the cold gas content of galaxies by splitting the interstellar medium into its atomic and molecular hydrogen components, using the galaxy formation model galform in the \u039b cold dark matter framework. We calculate the molecular-to-atomic hydrogen mass ratio, H\u2082/H i, in each galaxy using two different approaches, the pressure-based empirical relation of Blitz & Rosolowsky and the theoretical model of Krumholz, McKeee & Tumlinson, and apply them to consistently calculate the star formation rates of galaxies. We find that the model based on the Blitz & Rosolowsky law predicts an H i mass function, \u00b9\u00b2CO (1\u20130) luminosity function, correlations between H\u2082/H i and stellar and cold gas mass, and infrared\u2013\u00b9\u00b2CO molecule luminosity relation in good agreement with local and high-redshift observations. The H i mass function evolves weakly with redshift, with the number density of high-mass galaxies decreasing with increasing redshift. In the case of the H\u2082 mass function, the number density of massive galaxies increases strongly from\u2002z = 0 to 2, followed by weak evolution up to\u2002z = 4. We also find that H\u2082/H i of galaxies is strongly dependent on stellar and cold gas mass, and also on redshift. The slopes of the correlations between H\u2082/H i and stellar and cold gas mass hardly evolve, but the normalization increases by up to two orders of magnitude from\u2002z = 0 to 8. The strong evolution in the H\u2082 mass function and H\u2082/H i is primarily due to the evolution in the sizes of galaxies and, secondarily, in the gas fractions. The predicted cosmic density evolution of H i agrees with the observed evolution inferred from damped Ly\u03b1 systems, and is always dominated by the H i content of low- and intermediate-mass haloes. We find that previous theoretical studies have largely overestimated the redshift evolution of the global H\u2082/H i due to limited resolution.

", "abstract": "In this paper we analyze a suite of cosmological simulations of modied gravitational action f(R) models, where cosmic acceleration is induced by a scalar eld that acts as a fifth force on all forms of matter. In particular, we focus on the bispectrum of the dark\nmatter density eld on mildly non-linear scales. For models with the same initial power spectrum, the dark matter bispectrum shows signicant differences for cases where the final dark matter power spectrum also diers. Given the different dependence on bias of the galaxy power spectrum and bispectrum, bispectrum measurements can close the loophole of galaxy bias hiding differences in the power spectrum. Alternatively, changes in the initial power\nspectrum can also hide differences. By constructing CDM models with very similar final non-linear power spectra, we show that the differences in the bispectrum are reduced (\u227e 4%) and are comparable with differences in the imperfectly matched power spectra. These results indicate that the bispectrum depends mainly on the power spectrum and less sensitively on the gravitational signatures of the f(R) model. This weak dependence of the matter bispectrum on gravity makes it useful for breaking degeneracies associated with galaxy bias, even for models beyond general relativity.", "date": "2011-11", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics", "volume": "2011", "number": "11", "publisher": "IOP", "pagerange": "Art.

", "abstract": "The first stars and quasars are known sources of hard ionizing radiation in the first billion years of the Universe. We examine the joint effects of X-rays and hard ultraviolet (UV) radiation from such first-light sources on the hydrogen and helium reionization of the intergalactic medium (IGM) at early times, and the associated heating. We study the growth and evolution of individual H ii, He ii and He iii regions around early galaxies with first stars and/or quasi-stellar object populations. We find that in the presence of helium-ionizing radiation, X-rays may not dominate the ionization and thermal history of the IGM at z ~ 10\u201320, contributing relatively modest increases to IGM ionization and heating up to ~10^3\u201310^5 K in IGM temperatures. We also calculate the 21-cm signal expected from a number of scenarios with metal-free starbursts and quasars in varying combinations and masses at these redshifts. The peak values for the spin temperature reach ~10^4\u201310^5 K in such cases. The maximum values for the 21-cm brightness temperature are around 30\u201340 mK in emission, while the net values of the 21-cm absorption signal range from ~a few to 60 mK on scales of 0.01\u20131 Mpc. We find that the 21-cm signature of X-ray versus UV ionization could be distinct, with the emission signal expected from X-rays alone occurring at smaller scales than that from UV radiation, resulting from the inherently different spatial scales at which X-ray and UV ionization/heating manifests. This difference is time-dependent and becomes harder to distinguish with an increasing X-ray contribution to the total ionizing photon production. Such differing scale-dependent contributions from X-ray and UV photons may therefore 'blur' the 21-cm signature of the percolation of ionized bubbles around early haloes (depending on whether a cosmic X-ray or UV background is built up first) and affect the interpretation of 21-cm data constraints on reionization.", "date": "2011-11", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society", "volume": "417", "number": "3", "publisher": "Royal Astronomical Society", "pagerange": "2264-2275", "id_number": "CaltechAUTHORS:20111213-103109741", "issn": "0035-8711", "official_url": "https://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechAUTHORS:20111213-103109741", "rights": "No commercial reproduction, distribution, display or performance rights in this work are provided.", "funders": { "items": [ { "agency": "Cottrell Scholar of Research Corporation" }, { "agency": "University of San Francisco" }, { "agency": "Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation" } ] }, "local_group": { "items": [ { "id": "Moore-Center-for-Theoretical-Cosmology-and-Physics" } ] }, "doi": "10.1111/j.1365-2966.2011.19407.x", "primary_object": { "basename": "Venkatesan2011p16452Mon_Not_R_Astron_Soc.pdf", "url": "https://authors.library.caltech.edu/records/2d54j-f9490/files/Venkatesan2011p16452Mon_Not_R_Astron_Soc.pdf" }, "pub_year": "2011", "author_list": "Venkatesan, Aparna and Benson, Andrew" }, { "id": "https://authors.library.caltech.edu/records/v49h2-9tn21", "eprint_id": 27912, "eprint_status": "archive", "datestamp": "2023-08-19 08:19:53", "lastmod": "2023-10-24 17:30:26", "type": "article", "metadata_visibility": "show", "creators": { "items": [ { "id": "Cyr-Racine-F-Y", "name": { "family": "Cyr-Racine", "given": "Francis-Yan" }, "orcid": "0000-0002-7939-2988" }, { "id": "Schmidt-F", "name": { "family": "Schmidt", "given": "Fabian" } } ] }, "title": "Oscillating bispectra and galaxy clustering: A novel probe of inflationary physics with large-scale structure", "ispublished": "pub", "full_text_status": "public", "note": "\u00a9 2011 American Physical Society.

", "abstract": "Many models of inflation predict oscillatory features in the bispectrum of primordial fluctuations. Since it has been shown that primordial non-Gaussianity can lead to a scale-dependent halo bias, we investigate the effect of oscillations in the three-point function on the clustering of dark-matter halos. Interestingly, we find that features in the inflaton potential such as oscillations or sharp steps get imprinted in the mass dependence of the non-Gaussian halo bias. In this paper, we focus on models displaying a sharp feature in the inflaton potential as well as resonant non-Gaussianity. In both cases, we find a strong scale dependence for the non-Gaussian halo bias with a slope similar to that of the local model. In the resonant case, we find that the non-Gaussian bias oscillates with halo mass, a novel feature that is unique to this type of models. In the case of a sharp feature in the inflaton potential, we find that the clustering of halos is enhanced at the mass scale corresponding to the Fourier mode that exited the horizon when the inflaton was crossing the feature in the potential. Both of these are new effects that open the possibility of characterizing the inflationary potential with large-scale-structure surveys. We briefly discuss the prospects for detecting these non-Gaussian effects.", "date": "2011-10-07", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Physical Review D", "volume": "84", "number": "8", "publisher": "American Physical Society", "pagerange": "Art.

", "abstract": "We present a model for the satellites of the Milky Way in which galaxy formation is followed using semi-analytic techniques applied to the six high-resolution N-body simulations of galactic haloes of the Aquarius project. The model, calculated using the galform code, incorporates improved treatments of the relevant physics in the \u039b cold dark matter cosmogony, particularly a self-consistent calculation of reionization by ultraviolet (UV) photons emitted by the forming galaxy population, including the progenitors of the central galaxy. Along the merger tree of each halo, the model calculates gas cooling (by Compton scattering off cosmic microwave background photons, molecular hydrogen and atomic processes), gas heating (from hydrogen photoionization and supernova energy), star formation and evolution. The evolution of the intergalactic medium is followed simultaneously with that of the galaxies. Star formation in the more massive progenitor subhaloes is suppressed primarily by supernova feedback, while for smaller subhaloes, it is suppressed primarily by photoionization due to external and internal sources. The model is constrained to match a wide range of properties of the present-day galaxy population as a whole, but at high redshift it requires an escape fraction of UV photons near unity in order to completely reionize the universe by redshift z \u2273 8. In the most successful model, the local sources photoionize the pre-galactic region completely by z \u2243 10. In addition to the luminosity function of Milky Way satellites, the model matches their observed luminosity\u2013metallicity relation, their radial distribution and the inferred values of the mass within 300 pc, which in the models increase slowly but significantly with luminosity. There is a large variation in satellite properties from halo to halo, with the luminosity function, for example, varying by a factor of \u223c2 among the six simulations.", "date": "2011-10", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society", "volume": "417", "number": "2", "publisher": "Royal Astronomical Society", "pagerange": "1260-1279", "id_number": "CaltechAUTHORS:20120104-075005808", "issn": "0035-8711", "official_url": "https://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechAUTHORS:20120104-075005808", "rights": "No commercial reproduction, distribution, display or performance rights in this work are provided.", "funders": { "items": [ { "agency": "Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC)" }, { "agency": "Royal Society" }, { "agency": "Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation" }, { "agency": "European Community's Seventh Framework Programme", "grant_number": "FP7/2007-2013" }, { "agency": "European Research Council (ERC)", "grant_number": "202781" }, { "agency": "European Research Council (ERC)", "grant_number": "GALACTICA-240271" }, { "agency": "Nederlandse Organisatie voor Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek (NWO)", "grant_number": "643.200.501" } ] }, "local_group": { "items": [ { "id": "Moore-Center-for-Theoretical-Cosmology-and-Physics" } ] }, "doi": "10.1111/j.1365-2966.2011.19339.x", "primary_object": { "basename": "Font2011p16656Mon_Not_R_Astron_Soc.pdf", "url": "https://authors.library.caltech.edu/records/hs8j3-dje14/files/Font2011p16656Mon_Not_R_Astron_Soc.pdf" }, "pub_year": "2011", "author_list": "Font, A.

We discuss the impact that the new leptons have on Higgs boson decay branching ratios and on the range of allowed Higgs masses in such a model (with a single new vectorlike generation). We find that if the fourth generation leptons are too heavy to be produced in Higgs decay, then the new leptons reduce the branching ratio for h\u2192\u03b3\u03b3 to about 30% of its standard-model value. The dependence of this branching ratio on the new charged lepton masses is weak. Furthermore the expected Higgs production rate at the LHC is very near its standard-model value if the new quarks are much heavier than the weak scale. If the new quarks have masses near the cutoff for the theory, then for cutoffs greater than 10^(15)\u2009GeV, the new lepton masses cannot be much heavier than about 100 GeV and the Higgs mass must have a value around 175 GeV.", "date": "2011-09-27", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Physical Review D", "volume": "84", "number": "5", "publisher": "American Physical Society", "pagerange": "055025", "id_number": "CaltechAUTHORS:20111021-142612846", "issn": "2470-0010", "official_url": "https://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechAUTHORS:20111021-142612846", "rights": "No commercial reproduction, distribution, display or performance rights in this work are provided.", "funders": { "items": [ { "agency": "Department of Energy (DOE)", "grant_number": "DE-FG02-92ER40701" }, { "agency": "Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation" } ] }, "local_group": { "items": [ { "id": "Caltech-Theory" }, { "id": "Moore-Center-for-Theoretical-Cosmology-and-Physics" } ] }, "doi": "10.1103/PhysRevD.84.055025", "primary_object": { "basename": "Ishiwata2011p16072Phys_Rev_D.pdf", "url": "https://authors.library.caltech.edu/records/zw6ye-8bc93/files/Ishiwata2011p16072Phys_Rev_D.pdf" }, "pub_year": "2011", "author_list": "Ishiwata, Koji and Wise, Mark B." }, { "id": "https://authors.library.caltech.edu/records/87a5s-26380", "eprint_id": 27264, "eprint_status": "archive", "datestamp": "2023-08-19 08:08:27", "lastmod": "2023-10-24 17:00:27", "type": "article", "metadata_visibility": "show", "creators": { "items": [ { "id": "Smith-Tristan-L", "name": { "family": "Smith", "given": "Tristan L." }, "orcid": "0000-0003-2685-5405" }, { "id": "Kamionkowski-M", "name": { "family": "Kamionkowski", "given": "Marc" }, "orcid": "0000-0001-7018-2055" }, { "id": "Wandelt-Benjamin-D", "name": { "family": "Wandelt", "given": "Benjamin D." }, "orcid": "0000-0002-5854-8269" } ] }, "title": "Probability distribution for non-Gaussianity estimators", "ispublished": "pub", "full_text_status": "public", "note": "\u00a9 2011 American Physical Society. \n\nReceived 25 April 2011; published 23 September 2011. \n\nWe thank D.

", "abstract": "One of the principle efforts in cosmic microwave background (CMB) research is measurement of the parameter fnl that quantifies the departure from Gaussianity in a large class of nonminimal inflationary (and other) models. Estimators for f_(nl) are composed of a sum of products of the temperatures in three different pixels in the CMB map. Since the number ~N_(pix)^2 of terms in this sum exceeds the number N_(pix) of measurements, these ~N_(pix)^2 terms cannot be statistically independent. Therefore, the central-limit theorem does not necessarily apply, and the probability distribution function (PDF) for the f_(nl) estimator does not necessarily approach a Gaussian distribution for N_(pix)\u226b1. Although the variance of the estimators is known, the significance of a measurement of fnl depends on knowledge of the full shape of its PDF. Here we use Monte Carlo realizations of CMB maps to determine the PDF for two minimum-variance estimators: the standard estimator, constructed under the null hypothesis (f_(nl)=0), and an improved estimator with a smaller variance for f_(nl) \u2260 0. While the PDF for the null-hypothesis estimator is very nearly Gaussian when the true value of f_(nl) is zero, the PDF becomes significantly non-Gaussian when f_(nl) \u2260 0. In this case we find that the PDF for the null-hypothesis estimator f_(nl) is skewed, with a long non-Gaussian tail at f_(nl)>|f_(nl)| and less probability at f_(nl)<|f_(nl)| than in the Gaussian case. We provide an analytic fit to these PDFs. On the other hand, we find that the PDF for the improved estimator is nearly Gaussian for observationally allowed values of f_(nl).

Motivated by these discrepancies, we carefully examine three theoretical approaches based on (1) the statistics of thresholded regions, (2) a peak-background split method based on separation of scales, and (3) a peak-background split method using the conditional mass function. We first demonstrate that the statistics of thresholded regions, which is shown to be equivalent at leading order to a local bias expansion, cannot explain the mass-dependent deviation between theory and N-body simulations. In the two formulations of the peak-background split on the other hand, we identify an important, but previously overlooked, correction to the non-Gaussian bias that strongly depends on halo mass. This new term is in general significant for any primordial non-Gaussianity going beyond the simplest local fNL model.

", "abstract": "We investigate the consequences of applying different star formation laws in the galaxy formation model galform. Three broad star formation laws are implemented: the empirical relations of Kennicutt and Schmidt and Blitz & Rosolowsky and the theoretical model of Krumholz, McKee & Tumlinson. These laws have no free parameters once calibrated against observations of the star formation rate (SFR) and gas surface density in nearby galaxies. We start from published models, and investigate which observables are sensitive to a change in the star formation law, without altering any other model parameters. We show that changing the star formation law (i) does not significantly affect either the star formation history of the universe or the galaxy luminosity functions in the optical and near-infrared, due to an effective balance between the quiescent and burst star formation modes, (ii) greatly affects the cold gas contents of galaxies and (iii) changes the location of galaxies in the SFR versus stellar mass plane, so that a second sequence of 'passive' galaxies arises, in addition to the known 'active' sequence. We show that this plane can be used to discriminate between the star formation laws.", "date": "2011-09", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society", "volume": "416", "number": "2", "publisher": "Royal Astronomical Society", "pagerange": "1566-1584", "id_number": "CaltechAUTHORS:20111017-111848030", "issn": "0035-8711", "official_url": "https://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechAUTHORS:20111017-111848030", "rights": "No commercial reproduction, distribution, display or performance rights in this work are provided.", "funders": { "items": [ { "agency": "Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation" }, { "agency": "Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC)" } ] }, "local_group": { "items": [ { "id": "Moore-Center-for-Theoretical-Cosmology-and-Physics" } ] }, "doi": "10.1111/j.1365-2966.2011.19160.x", "primary_object": { "basename": "1011.5506.pdf", "url": "https://authors.library.caltech.edu/records/h1j5a-dh193/files/1011.5506.pdf" }, "related_objects": [ { "basename": "Lagos2011p16030Mon_Not_R_Astron_Soc.pdf", "url": "https://authors.library.caltech.edu/records/h1j5a-dh193/files/Lagos2011p16030Mon_Not_R_Astron_Soc.pdf" } ], "pub_year": "2011", "author_list": "Lagos, Claudia del P.; Lacey, Cedric G.; et el." }, { "id": "https://authors.library.caltech.edu/records/v9spg-3xz69", "eprint_id": 24967, "eprint_status": "archive", "datestamp": "2023-08-19 07:41:12", "lastmod": "2023-10-24 15:30:06", "type": "article", "metadata_visibility": "show", "creators": { "items": [ { "id": "Caldwell-R-R", "name": { "family": "Caldwell", "given": "Robert R." } }, { "id": "Gluscevic-V", "name": { "family": "Gluscevic", "given": "Vera" } }, { "id": "Kamionkowski-M", "name": { "family": "Kamionkowski", "given": "Marc" }, "orcid": "0000-0001-7018-2055" } ] }, "title": "Cross-correlation of cosmological birefringence with CMB temperature", "ispublished": "pub", "full_text_status": "public", "note": "\u00a9 2011 American Physical Society. \n\nReceived 7 April 2011; published 5 August 2011. \n\nWe thank C.

", "abstract": "Theories for new particle and early-Universe physics abound with pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone fields that arise when global symmetries are spontaneously broken. The coupling of these fields to the Chern-Simons term of electromagnetism may give rise to cosmological birefringence (CB), a frequency-independent rotation of the linear polarization of photons as they propagate over cosmological distances. Inhomogeneities in the CB-inducing field may yield a rotation angle that varies across the sky. Here we note that such a spatially-varying birefringence may be correlated with the cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature. We describe quintessence scenarios where this cross-correlation exists and other scenarios where the scalar field is simply a massless spectator field, in which case the cross-correlation does not exist. We discuss how the cross-correlation between CB-rotation angle and CMB temperature may be measured with CMB polarization. This measurement may improve the sensitivity to the CB signal, and it can help discriminate between different models of CB.", "date": "2011-08-05", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Physical Review D", "volume": "84", "number": "4", "publisher": "American Physical Society", "pagerange": "Art.

", "abstract": "We present a global analysis of kinematics and metallicity in the nearest S0 galaxy, NGC 3115, along with implications for its assembly history. The data include high-quality wide-field imaging from Suprime-Cam on the Subaru telescope, and multi-slit spectra of the field stars and globular clusters (GCs) obtained using Keck-DEIMOS/LRIS and Magellan-IMACS. Within two effective radii, the bulge (as traced by the stars and metal-rich GCs) is flattened and rotates rapidly (v/\u03c3 \u2273 1.5). At larger radii, the rotation declines dramatically to v/\u03c3 ~ 0.7, but remains well aligned with the inner regions. The radial decrease in characteristic metallicity of both the metal-rich and metal-poor GC subpopulations produces strong gradients with power-law slopes of \u20130.17 \u00b1 0.04 and \u20130.38 \u00b1 0.06 dex dex^(\u20131), respectively. We argue that this pattern is not naturally explained by a binary major merger, but instead by a two-phase assembly process where the inner regions have formed in an early violent, dissipative phase, followed by the protracted growth of the outer parts via minor mergers with typical mass ratios of ~15-20:1.", "date": "2011-08-01", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Astrophysical Journal Letters", "volume": "736", "number": "2", "publisher": "American Astronomical Society", "pagerange": "Art.

", "abstract": "Large catalogs of shear-selected peaks have recently become a reality. In order to properly interpret the abundance and properties of these peaks, it is necessary to take into account the effects of the clustering of source galaxies, among themselves and with the lens. In addition, the preferred selection of magnified galaxies in a flux- and size-limited sample leads to fluctuations in the apparent source density that correlate with the lensing field. In this paper, we investigate these issues for two different choices of shear estimators that are commonly in use today: globally normalized and locally normalized estimators. While in principle equivalent, in practice these estimators respond differently to systematic effects such as magnification and cluster member dilution. Furthermore, we find that the answer to the question of which estimator is statistically superior depends on the specific shape of the filter employed for peak finding; suboptimal choices of the estimator+filter combination can result in a suppression of the number of high peaks by orders of magnitude. Magnification and size bias generally act to increase the signal-to-noise \u03bd of shear peaks; for high peaks the boost can be as large as \u0394\u03bd \u2248 1-2. Due to the steepness of the peak abundance function, these boosts can result in a significant increase in the observed abundance of shear peaks. A companion paper investigates these same issues within the context of stacked weak-lensing mass estimates.", "date": "2011-07-10", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Astrophysical Journal", "volume": "735", "number": "2", "publisher": "American Astronomical Society", "pagerange": "Art.

Here we explore whether CMB measurements may set useful constraints to the primordial metallicity and/or whether the standard CMB calculations are robust, within the tolerance of forthcoming CMB maps, to the possibility of primordial metals. Metals would affect the recombination history (and thus CMB power spectra) in three ways: (1) Ly\u03b1 photons can be removed (and recombination thus accelerated) by photoionizing metals; (2) The Bowen resonance-fluorescence mechanism may degrade Ly\u03b2 photons and thus enhance the Ly\u03b2 escape probability and speed up recombination; (3) Metals could affect the low-redshift tail of the CMB visibility function by providing additional free electrons. The last two of these provide the strongest CMB signal. However, the effects are detectable in the Planck satellite only if the primordial metal abundance is at least a few hundredths of solar for (2) and a few tenths of solar for (3). We thus conclude that Planck will not be able to improve upon current constraints to primordial metallicity, at the level of a thousandth of solar, from the Lyman-\u03b1 forest and ultra-metal-poor halo stars, and that the CMB power-spectrum predictions for Planck suffer no uncertainty arising from the possibility that there may be primordial metals.", "date": "2011-04-12", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Physical Review D", "volume": "83", "number": "8", "publisher": "American Physical Society", "pagerange": "Art.

In this paper, we present results from N-body simulations of a general class of f(R) models, which self-consistently solve the nonlinear field equation for the enhanced forces. Within this class we vary the amplitude of the field, which controls the range of the enhanced gravitational forces, both at the present epoch and as a function of redshift. Most models in the literature can be mapped onto the parameter space of this class. Focusing on the abundance of massive dark matter halos, we compare the simulation results to a simple spherical collapse model. Current constraints lie in the large-field regime, where the chameleon mechanism is not\nimportant. In this regime, the spherical collapse model works equally well for a wide range of models and\ncan serve as a model-independent tool for placing constraints on f(R) gravity from cluster abundance.\nUsing these results, we show how constraints from the observed local abundance of X-ray clusters on a\nspecific f(R) model can be mapped onto other members of this general class of models.", "date": "2011-03-03", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Physical Review D", "volume": "83", "number": "6", "publisher": "American Physical Society", "pagerange": "Art.

", "abstract": "A generic expectation for gas accreted by high-mass haloes is that it is shock-heated to the virial temperature of the halo. In low-mass haloes, or at high redshift, however, the gas cooling rate is sufficiently rapid that an accretion shock is unlikely to form close to the virial radius. Instead, the accretion shock will form at smaller radii, perhaps close to the central galaxy. Semi-analytic models have always made a clear distinction between the regimes in which accretion is limited by the cooling time of hot gas and by the dynamical time-scale of the halo, using simple estimates of the mass-scale at which the transition from rapid to slow cooling occurs. In this work, we revisit this issue using the latest understanding and calibration of accretion shock formation. Starting from the well-established Galform code, we investigate the effect of accounting for the presence or otherwise of an accretion shock close to the virial radius using the shock stability model of Birnboim & Dekel. As expected, when we modify the code so that there is no effective feedback from galaxy formation, we find that so-called 'cold-mode' accretion is the dominant channel for feeding gas into the galaxies at high redshifts, such that 90 per cent of baryons in galaxies (averaged over all galaxies) arrive via this channel. The mass-scale at which the rapid to slow cooling transition occurs is significantly affected at high redshifts and accretion rates become dominated by cold-mode accretion. However, the impact of this change in the cooling channel on galaxies properties is mitigated by compensating effects in the star formation and feedback cycle. When effective feedback, which reheats gas from galaxies to the virial temperature but which allows no gas to escape from a halo, is included in the model, we find that the 'cold mode' is even less apparent because of the presence of gas ejected from the galaxy's disc, although it can still contribute almost 50 per cent of the net inflow rate when averaged over all galaxies. Thus, the inclusion of the latest calibration of accretion shock physics makes little difference to basic results from earlier semi-analytic models, which used a simpler treatment. We conclude that this 'cold-mode' physics is already adequately accounted for in semi-analytic models and that feedback represents a much larger uncertainty than any of these effects.", "date": "2011-02", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society", "volume": "410", "number": "4", "publisher": "Royal Astronomical Society", "pagerange": "2653-2661", "id_number": "CaltechAUTHORS:20110301-084205905", "issn": "0035-8711", "official_url": "https://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechAUTHORS:20110301-084205905", "rights": "No commercial reproduction, distribution, display or performance rights in this work are provided.", "funders": { "items": [ { "agency": "Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation" } ] }, "local_group": { "items": [ { "id": "Moore-Center-for-Theoretical-Cosmology-and-Physics" } ] }, "doi": "10.1111/j.1365-2966.2010.17641.x", "primary_object": { "basename": "Benson2011p12715Mon_Not_R_Astron_Soc.pdf", "url": "https://authors.library.caltech.edu/records/bajyn-h3429/files/Benson2011p12715Mon_Not_R_Astron_Soc.pdf" }, "pub_year": "2011", "author_list": "Benson, Andrew J. and Bower, Richard" }, { "id": "https://authors.library.caltech.edu/records/pt3pw-h9x44", "eprint_id": 22594, "eprint_status": "archive", "datestamp": "2023-08-19 05:16:35", "lastmod": "2023-10-23 17:02:28", "type": "article", "metadata_visibility": "show", "creators": { "items": [ { "id": "Kamionkowski-M", "name": { "family": "Kamionkowski", "given": "Marc" }, "orcid": "0000-0001-7018-2055" }, { "id": "Smith-T-L", "name": { "family": "Smith", "given": "Tristan L." } }, { "id": "Heavens-A", "name": { "family": "Heavens", "given": "Alan" } } ] }, "title": "CMB bispectrum, trispectrum, non-Gaussianity, and the Cramer-Rao bound", "ispublished": "pub", "full_text_status": "public", "note": "\u00a9 2011 American Physical Society. \n\nReceived 5 October 2010; published 14 January 2011. \n\nM.

We show that the two estimators become statistically independent in the limit of large number of CMB pixels, and thus that the trispectrum estimator does indeed provide additional information on f_(nl) beyond that obtained from the bispectrum. We explain how this conclusion is consistent with the Cramer-Rao bound. Our discussion of the Cramer-Rao bound may be of interest to those doing Fisher-matrix parameter-estimation forecasts or data analysis in other areas of physics as well.", "date": "2011-01-14", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Physical Review D", "volume": "83", "number": "2", "publisher": "American Physical Society", "pagerange": "Art.

On smaller scales, k \u2273 0:01h Mpc^(-1), the predictions diverge, a consequence of the assumption of separation of scales in the peak-background split.

", "abstract": "Semi-analytic models are a powerful tool for studying the formation of galaxies. However, these models inevitably involve a significant number of poorly constrained parameters that must be adjusted to provide an acceptable match to the observed Universe. In this paper, we set out to quantify the degree to which observational data sets can constrain the model parameters. By revealing degeneracies in the parameter space we can hope to better understand the key physical processes probed by the data. We use novel mathematical techniques to explore the parameter space of the galform semi-analytic model. We base our investigation on the Bower et al. version of galform, adopting the same methodology of selecting model parameters based on an acceptable match to the local bJ and K luminosity functions. Since the galform model is inherently approximate, we explicitly include a model discrepancy term when deciding if a match is acceptable or not. The model contains 16 parameters that are poorly constrained by our prior understanding of the galaxy formation processes and that can plausibly be adjusted between reasonable limits. We investigate this parameter space using the Model Emulator technique, constructing a Bayesian approximation to the galform model that can be rapidly evaluated at any point in parameter space. The emulator returns both an expectation for the galform model and an uncertainty which allows us to eliminate regions of parameter space in which it is implausible that a galform run would match the luminosity function data. By combining successive waves of emulation, we show that only 0.26 per cent of the initial volume is of interest for further exploration. However, within this region we show that the Bower et al. model is only one choice from an extended subspace of model parameters that can provide equally acceptable fits to the luminosity function data. We explore the geometry of this region and begin to explore the physical connections between parameters that are exposed by this analysis. We also consider the impact of adding additional observational data to further constrain the parameter space. We see that the known tensions existing in the Bower et al. model lead to a further reduction in the successful parameter space.", "date": "2010-10-01", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society", "volume": "407", "number": "4", "publisher": "Royal Astronomical Society", "pagerange": "2017-2045", "id_number": "CaltechAUTHORS:20101022-082310974", "issn": "0035-8711", "official_url": "https://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechAUTHORS:20101022-082310974", "rights": "No commercial reproduction, distribution, display or performance rights in this work are provided.", "funders": { "items": [ { "agency": "Durham-University Christopherson-Knott Fellowship" }, { "agency": "Basic Technology initiative" }, { "agency": "Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC)" }, { "agency": "Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation" }, { "agency": "Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC)" } ] }, "local_group": { "items": [ { "id": "Moore-Center-for-Theoretical-Cosmology-and-Physics" } ] }, "doi": "10.1111/j.1365-2966.2010.16991.x", "primary_object": { "basename": "1004.0711.pdf", "url": "https://authors.library.caltech.edu/records/kbnxx-2sx32/files/1004.0711.pdf" }, "related_objects": [ { "basename": "Bower2010p11550Mon_Not_R_Astron_Soc.pdf", "url": "https://authors.library.caltech.edu/records/kbnxx-2sx32/files/Bower2010p11550Mon_Not_R_Astron_Soc.pdf" } ], "pub_year": "2010", "author_list": "Bower, R.

", "abstract": "During eternal inflation, a landscape of vacua can be populated by the nucleation of bubbles. These bubbles inevitably collide, and collisions sometimes displace the field into a new minimum in a process known as a classical transition. In this paper, we examine some new features of classical transitions that arise when gravitational effects are included. Using the junction condition formalism, we study the conditions for energy conservation in detail, and solve explicitly for the types of allowed classical transition geometries. We show that the repulsive nature of domain walls, and the de Sitter expansion associated with a positive energy minimum, can allow for classical transitions to vacua of higher energy than that of the colliding bubbles. Transitions can be made out of negative or zero energy (terminal) vacua to a de Sitter phase, restarting eternal inflation, and populating new vacua. However, the classical transition cannot produce vacua with energy higher than the original parent vacuum, which agrees with previous results on the construction of pockets of false vacuum. We briefly comment on the possible implications of these results for various measure proposals in eternal inflation.", "date": "2010-09-24", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Physical Review D", "volume": "82", "number": "6", "publisher": "American Physical Society", "pagerange": "Art.

", "abstract": "Recent focus on the importance of cold, unshocked gas accretion in galaxy formation \u2013 not explicitly included in semi-analytic studies \u2013 motivates the following detailed comparison between two inherently different modelling techniques: direct hydrodynamical simulation and semi-analytic modelling. By analysing the physical assumptions built into the gasoline simulation, formulae for the emergent behaviour are derived which allow immediate and accurate translation of these assumptions to the galform semi-analytic model. The simulated halo merger history is then extracted and evolved using these equivalent equations, predicting a strikingly similar galactic system. This exercise demonstrates that it is the initial conditions and physical assumptions which are responsible for the predicted evolution, not the choice of modelling technique. On this level playing field, a previously published\u2002galform model is applied (including additional physics such as chemical enrichment and feedback from active galactic nuclei) which leads to starkly different predictions.", "date": "2010-09-01", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society", "volume": "407", "number": "1", "publisher": "Royal Astronomical Society", "pagerange": "632-644", "id_number": "CaltechAUTHORS:20100915-094131397", "issn": "0035-8711", "official_url": "https://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechAUTHORS:20100915-094131397", "rights": "No commercial reproduction, distribution, display or performance rights in this work are provided.", "funders": { "items": [ { "agency": "NSF", "grant_number": "PHY05-51164" }, { "agency": "Sherman Fairchild Foundation" }, { "agency": "Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation" }, { "agency": "NASA", "grant_number": "HST GO-1125" }, { "agency": "NSF", "grant_number": "AST-0607819" }, { "agency": "NASA", "grant_number": "NNX08AG84G" } ] }, "local_group": { "items": [ { "id": "Moore-Center-for-Theoretical-Cosmology-and-Physics" } ] }, "doi": "10.1111/j.1365-2966.2010.16944.x", "primary_object": { "basename": "Stringer2010p11315Mon_Not_R_Astron_Soc.pdf", "url": "https://authors.library.caltech.edu/records/fgzhv-nbg12/files/Stringer2010p11315Mon_Not_R_Astron_Soc.pdf" }, "pub_year": "2010", "author_list": "Stringer, M.

", "abstract": "We study the peculiar velocities of density peaks in the presence of primordial non-Gaussianity. Rare, high-density peaks in the initial density field can be identified with tracers such as galaxies and clusters in the evolved matter distribution. The distribution of relative velocities of peaks is derived in the large-scale limit using two different approaches based on a local biasing scheme. Both approaches agree, and show that halos still stream with the dark matter locally as well as statistically, i.e. they do not acquire a velocity bias. Nonetheless, even a moderate degree of (not necessarily local) non-Gaussianity induces a significant skewness (~0.1\u20130.2) in the relative velocity distribution, making it a potentially interesting probe of non-Gaussianity on intermediate to large scales. We also study two-point correlations in redshift space. The well-known Kaiser formula is still a good approximation on large scales, if the Gaussian halo bias is replaced with its (scale-dependent) non-Gaussian generalization. However, there are additional terms not encompassed by this simple formula which become relevant on smaller scales (k \u2273 0.01h/Mpc). Depending on the allowed level of non-Gaussianity, these could be of relevance for future large spectroscopic surveys.", "date": "2010-09-01", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Physical Review D", "volume": "82", "number": "6", "publisher": "American Physical Society", "pagerange": "Art.

", "abstract": "We use stripped-down versions of three semi-analytic galaxy formation models to study the influence of different assumptions about gas cooling and galaxy mergers. By running the three models on identical sets of merger trees extracted from high-resolution cosmological N-body simulations, we are able to perform both statistical analyses and halo-by-halo comparisons. This paper demonstrates that there is a good statistical agreement between the three models used here, when operating on the same merger trees, reflecting a general agreement in the underlying framework for semi-analytic models. We also show, however, that various assumptions that are commonly adopted to treat gas cooling and galaxy mergers can lead to significantly different results, at least in some regimes. In particular, we find that the different models adopted for gas cooling lead to similar results for mass scales comparable to that of our own Galaxy. Significant differences, however, arise at larger mass scales. These are largely (but not entirely) due to different treatments of the 'rapid cooling' regime, and different assumptions about the hot gas distribution. At this mass regime, the predicted cooling rates can differ up to about one order of magnitude, with important implications on the relative weight that these models give to feedback from active galactic nuclei in order to counteract excessive gas condensation in relatively massive haloes at low redshift. Different assumptions in the modelling of galaxy mergers can also result in significant differences in the timings of mergers, with important consequences for the formation and evolution of massive galaxies.", "date": "2010-08-11", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society", "volume": "406", "number": "3", "publisher": "Royal Astronomical Society", "pagerange": "1533-1552", "id_number": "CaltechAUTHORS:20100903-105425904", "issn": "0035-8711", "official_url": "https://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechAUTHORS:20100903-105425904", "rights": "No commercial reproduction, distribution, display or performance rights in this work are provided.", "funders": { "items": [ { "agency": "European Research Council (ERC)", "grant_number": "202781" }, { "agency": "Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation" } ] }, "local_group": { "items": [ { "id": "Moore-Center-for-Theoretical-Cosmology-and-Physics" } ] }, "doi": "10.1111/j.1365-2966.2010.16806.x", "primary_object": { "basename": "DeLucia2010p11173Mon_Not_R_Astron_Soc.pdf", "url": "https://authors.library.caltech.edu/records/t16s1-p5b09/files/DeLucia2010p11173Mon_Not_R_Astron_Soc.pdf" }, "pub_year": "2010", "author_list": "De Lucia, Gabriella; Boylan-Kolchin, Michael; et el." }, { "id": "https://authors.library.caltech.edu/records/d4djh-xh584", "eprint_id": 19784, "eprint_status": "archive", "datestamp": "2023-08-22 00:31:28", "lastmod": "2023-10-20 21:53:20", "type": "article", "metadata_visibility": "show", "creators": { "items": [ { "id": "Cooper-A-P", "name": { "family": "Cooper", "given": "A.

", "abstract": "We present six simulations of galactic stellar haloes formed by the tidal disruption of accreted dwarf galaxies in a fully cosmological setting. Our model is based on the Aquarius project, a suite of high-resolution N-body simulations of individual dark matter haloes. We tag subsets of particles in these simulations with stellar populations predicted by the galform semi-analytic model. Our method self-consistently tracks the dynamical evolution and disruption of satellites from high redshift. The luminosity function (LF) and structural properties of surviving satellites, which agree well with observations, suggest that this technique is appropriate. We find that accreted stellar haloes are assembled between 1 < z < 7 from less than five significant progenitors. These progenitors are old, metal-rich satellites with stellar masses similar to the brightest Milky Way dwarf spheroidals (10^(7)\u201310^(8) M_\u2299). In contrast to previous stellar halo simulations, we find that several of these major contributors survive as self-bound systems to the present day. Both the number of these significant progenitors and their infall times are inherently stochastic. This results in great diversity among our stellar haloes, which amplifies small differences between the formation histories of their dark halo hosts. The masses (~10^(8)\u201310^(9) M_\u2299) and density/surface-brightness profiles of the stellar haloes (from 10 to 100 kpc) are consistent with expectations from the Milky Way and M31. Each halo has a complex structure, consisting of well-mixed components, tidal streams, shells and other subcomponents. This structure is not adequately described by smooth models. The central regions (<10 kpc) of our haloes are highly prolate (c/a ~ 0.3), although we find one example of a massive accreted thick disc. Metallicity gradients in our haloes are typically significant only where the halo is built from a small number of satellites. We contrast the ages and metallicities of halo stars with surviving satellites, finding broad agreement with recent observations.", "date": "2010-08-01", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society", "volume": "406", "number": "2", "publisher": "Royal Astronomical Society", "pagerange": "744-766", "id_number": "CaltechAUTHORS:20100903-105537495", "issn": "0035-8711", "official_url": "https://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechAUTHORS:20100903-105537495", "rights": "No commercial reproduction, distribution, display or performance rights in this work are provided.", "funders": { "items": [ { "agency": "Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC)" }, { "agency": "Royal Astronomical Society" }, { "agency": "Institute of Physics" }, { "agency": "Royal Society" }, { "agency": "Nederlandse Organisatie voor Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek (NWO)" }, { "agency": "Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation" }, { "agency": "European Research Council (ERC)", "grant_number": "202781" } ] }, "local_group": { "items": [ { "id": "Moore-Center-for-Theoretical-Cosmology-and-Physics" } ] }, "doi": "10.1111/j.1365-2966.2010.16740.x", "primary_object": { "basename": "Cooper2010p11168Mon_Not_R_Astron_Soc.pdf", "url": "https://authors.library.caltech.edu/records/d4djh-xh584/files/Cooper2010p11168Mon_Not_R_Astron_Soc.pdf" }, "pub_year": "2010", "author_list": "Cooper, A.

", "abstract": "We use N-body simulations to study the effects that a divergent (i.e. 'cuspy') dark matter profile introduces on the tidal evolution of dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSphs). Our models assume cosmologically motivated initial conditions where dSphs are dark-matter-dominated systems on eccentric orbits about a host galaxy composed of a dark halo and a baryonic disc. We find that the resilience of dSphs to tidal stripping is extremely sensitive to the cuspiness of the inner halo profile; whereas dwarfs with a cored profile can be easily destroyed by the disc component, those with cusps always retain a bound remnant, even after losing more than 99.99 per cent of the original mass. For a given halo profile, the evolution of the structural parameters as driven by tides is controlled solely by the total amount of mass lost. This information is used to construct a semi-analytic code that follows the tidal evolution of individual satellites as they fall into a more massive host, which allows us to simulate the hierarchical build-up of spiral galaxies assuming different halo profiles and disc masses. We find that tidal encounters with discs tend to decrease the average mass of satellite galaxies at all galactocentric radii. Of all satellites, those accreted before re-ionization (z \u2273 6), which may be singled out by anomalous metallicity patterns, provide the strongest constraints on the inner profile of dark haloes. These galaxies move on orbits that penetrate the disc repeatedly and survive to the present day only if haloes have an inner density cusp. We show that the size\u2013mass relationship established from Milky Way (MW) dwarfs strongly supports the presence of cusps in the majority of these systems, as cored models systematically underestimate the masses of the known ultra-faint dSphs.

", "abstract": "Over the past several decades, galaxy formation theory has met with significant successes. In order to test current theories thoroughly we require predictions for as yet unprobed regimes. To this end, we describe a new implementation of the Galform semi-analytic model of galaxy formation. Our motivation is the success of the model described by Bower et al. in explaining many aspects of galaxy formation. Despite this success, the Bower et al. model fails to match some observational constraints, and certain aspects of its physical implementation are not as realistic as we would like. The model described in this work includes substantially updated physics, taking into account developments in our understanding over the past decade, and removes certain limiting assumptions made by these (and most other) semi-analytic models. This allows it to be exploited reliably in high-redshift and low-mass regimes. Furthermore, we have performed an exhaustive search of model parameter space to find a particular set of model parameters which produce results in good agreement with a wide range of observational data (luminosity functions, galaxy sizes and dynamics, clustering, colours, metal content) over a wide range of redshifts. This model represents a solid basis on which to perform calculations of galaxy formation in as yet unprobed regimes.", "date": "2010-07-01", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society", "volume": "405", "number": "3", "publisher": "Royal Astronomical Society", "pagerange": "1573-1623", "id_number": "CaltechAUTHORS:20100714-143601301", "issn": "0035-8711", "official_url": "https://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechAUTHORS:20100714-143601301", "rights": "No commercial reproduction, distribution, display or performance rights in this work are provided.", "funders": { "items": [ { "agency": "Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation" }, { "agency": "NSF", "grant_number": "PHY05-51164" }, { "agency": "NSF", "grant_number": "Catlett 2007" }, { "agency": "Amazon in Education program" } ] }, "local_group": { "items": [ { "id": "Moore-Center-for-Theoretical-Cosmology-and-Physics" } ] }, "doi": "10.1111/j.1365-2966.2010.16592.x", "primary_object": { "basename": "Benson2010p10633Mon_Not_R_Astron_Soc.pdf", "url": "https://authors.library.caltech.edu/records/cedd6-6va47/files/Benson2010p10633Mon_Not_R_Astron_Soc.pdf" }, "pub_year": "2010", "author_list": "Benson, Andrew J. and Bower, Richard" }, { "id": "https://authors.library.caltech.edu/records/hxmbe-h4760", "eprint_id": 19025, "eprint_status": "archive", "datestamp": "2023-08-19 02:53:32", "lastmod": "2023-10-20 19:18:05", "type": "article", "metadata_visibility": "show", "creators": { "items": [ { "id": "Gluscevic-V", "name": { "family": "Gluscevic", "given": "Vera" } }, { "id": "Kamionkowski-M", "name": { "family": "Kamionkowski", "given": "Marc" }, "orcid": "0000-0001-7018-2055" } ] }, "title": "Testing parity-violating mechanisms with cosmic microwave background experiments", "ispublished": "pub", "full_text_status": "public", "note": "\u00a9 2010 The American Physical Society. \n\nReceived 5 February 2010; published 24 June 2010. \n\nV.

", "abstract": "We use a model for the evolution of galaxies in the far-infrared (far-IR) based on the \u039b-cold dark matter cosmology to make detailed predictions for the upcoming cosmological surveys with the Herschel Space Observatory. We use the combined GALFORM semi-analytical galaxy formation model and GRASIL spectrophotometric code to compute galaxy spectral energy distribution (SEDs) including the reprocessing of radiation by dust. The model, which is the same as that in Baugh et al., assumes two different initial mass functions (IMFs): a normal solar neighbourhood IMF for quiescent star formation in discs, and a very top-heavy IMF in starbursts triggered by galaxy mergers. We have shown previously that the top-heavy IMF appears necessary to explain the number counts and redshifts of faint submillimetre galaxies. In this paper, we present predictions for galaxy luminosity functions, number counts and redshift distributions in the Herschel imaging bands. We find that source confusion will be a serious problem in the deepest planned surveys. We also show predictions for physical properties such as star formation rates and stellar, gas and halo masses, together with fluxes at other wavelengths (from the far-ultraviolet to the radio) relevant for multi-wavelength follow-up observations. We investigate what fraction of the total IR emission from dust and of the high-mass star formation over the history of the Universe should be resolved by planned surveys with Herschel, and find a fraction ~30\u201350 per cent, depending on confusion. Finally, we show that galaxies in Herschel surveys should be significantly clustered.", "date": "2010-06-11", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society", "volume": "405", "number": "1", "publisher": "Royal Astronomical Society", "pagerange": "2-28", "id_number": "CaltechAUTHORS:20100629-091542525", "issn": "0035-8711", "official_url": "https://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechAUTHORS:20100629-091542525", "rights": "No commercial reproduction, distribution, display or performance rights in this work are provided.", "funders": { "items": [ { "agency": "Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC)" }, { "agency": "Royal Society" }, { "agency": "Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation" } ] }, "local_group": { "items": [ { "id": "Moore-Center-for-Theoretical-Cosmology-and-Physics" } ] }, "doi": "10.1111/j.1365-2966.2010.16463.x", "primary_object": { "basename": "Lacey2010p10429Mon_Not_R_Astron_Soc.pdf", "url": "https://authors.library.caltech.edu/records/djqpv-cc923/files/Lacey2010p10429Mon_Not_R_Astron_Soc.pdf" }, "pub_year": "2010", "author_list": "Lacey, C.

", "abstract": "Recent observations of galaxy clusters have shown that environmental effects apparently associated with the cluster begin to lower the star formation rates of galaxies at distances as great as three times the cluster virial radius. These observations may indicate preprocessing of cluster galaxies in groups or in the cluster core for galaxies on highly elliptical orbits, but may also imply that the environmental effects due to the cluster are directly affecting galaxies on their first infall. To explore these issues, we investigate different models of ram pressure stripping (RPS) as it acts on satellite galaxies in clusters and compare to observations of the radial star formation gradient in clusters. We calculate the location of the accretion shock around model clusters and use this as the radius of onset of RPS in the GALFORM semi-analytic model of galaxy formation. Comparison of the results of our model and previously considered, simpler ram pressure models with recent observations indicates that current data are unable to strongly discriminate between models of RPS due to the complex interplay of preprocessing effects at work. However, future observations of a larger sample of clusters will likely be able to place stronger constraints on the process of RPS and its role in shaping radial trends in and around clusters.", "date": "2010-06-10", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Astrophysical Journal", "volume": "716", "number": "1", "publisher": "American Astronomical Society", "pagerange": "810-818", "id_number": "CaltechAUTHORS:20100617-130622638", "issn": "0004-637X", "official_url": "https://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechAUTHORS:20100617-130622638", "rights": "No commercial reproduction, distribution, display or performance rights in this work are provided.", "funders": { "items": [ { "agency": "NSF Graduate Fellowship" }, { "agency": "Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation" } ] }, "local_group": { "items": [ { "id": "Moore-Center-for-Theoretical-Cosmology-and-Physics" } ] }, "doi": "10.1088/0004-637X/716/1/810", "primary_object": { "basename": "Book2010p10347Astrophys_J.pdf", "url": "https://authors.library.caltech.edu/records/w6wsy-jyy51/files/Book2010p10347Astrophys_J.pdf" }, "pub_year": "2010", "author_list": "Book, Laura G. and Benson, Andrew J." }, { "id": "https://authors.library.caltech.edu/records/566d5-ear30", "eprint_id": 18808, "eprint_status": "archive", "datestamp": "2023-08-19 02:47:19", "lastmod": "2023-10-20 16:47:30", "type": "article", "metadata_visibility": "show", "creators": { "items": [ { "id": "Figueroa-D-G", "name": { "family": "Figueroa", "given": "Daniel G." } }, { "id": "Caldwell-R-R", "name": { "family": "Caldwell", "given": "Robert R." } }, { "id": "Kamionkowski-M", "name": { "family": "Kamionkowski", "given": "Marc" }, "orcid": "0000-0001-7018-2055" } ] }, "title": "Non-Gaussianity from self-ordering scalar fields", "ispublished": "pub", "full_text_status": "public", "note": "\u00a9 2010 The American Physical Society. \n\nReceived 2 March 2010; published 4 June 2010. \n\nDGF thanks Caltech and CERN for hospitality during the completion of this work.

Such fossils, while consistent with current cosmological data at trace levels, may leave too weak an imprint on the cosmic microwave background and the large-scale distribution of matter to allow for direct detection. The non-Gaussian statistics of the density perturbations induced by these fields, however, permit a direct means to probe for these relics. Here we calculate the bispectrum that arises in models of self-ordered scalar fields. We find a compact analytic expression for the bispectrum, evaluate it numerically, and provide a simple approximation that may be useful for data analysis. The bispectrum is largest for triangles that are aligned (have edges k_1\u22432k_2\u22432k_3) as opposed to the local-model bispectrum, which peaks for squeezed triangles (k_1\u2243k_2\u226bk_3), and the equilateral bispectrum, which peaks at k_1\u2243k_2\u2243k_3.

The decay gives the daughter particle a small velocity kick. Self-gravitating dark-matter halos that have a virial velocity smaller than this velocity kick may be disrupted by these particle decays, while those with larger virial velocities will be heated. We use numerical simulations to follow the detailed evolution of the total mass and density profile of self-gravitating systems composed of particles that undergo such velocity kicks as a function of the kick speed (relative to the virial velocity) and the decay time (relative to the dynamical time). We show how these decays will affect the halo mass-concentration relation and mass function. Using measurements of the halo mass-concentration relation and galaxy-cluster mass function to constrain the lifetime\u2013kick-velocity parameter space for decaying dark matter, we find roughly that the observations rule out the combination of kick velocities greater than 100\u2009\u2009km\u2009s^(-1) and decay times less than a few times the age of the Universe.", "date": "2010-05-15", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Physical Review D", "volume": "81", "number": "10", "publisher": "American Physical Society", "pagerange": "Art.

Viable models, however, must include some nonlinear mechanism to restore general relativity (GR) in dense environments, which is necessary to pass Solar System constraints on precisely these deviations. In this paper, we study the dynamics within virialized structures in the context of two modified gravity models, f(R) gravity and Dvali-Gabadadze-Porrati (DGP). The nonlinear mechanisms to restore GR, which f(R) and DGP implement in very different ways, have a strong impact on the dynamics in bound objects; they leave distinctive signatures in the dynamical mass-lensing mass relation as a function of mass and radius. We present measurements from N-body simulations of f(R) and DGP, as well as semianalytical models that match the simulation results to surprising accuracy in both cases. The semianalytical models are useful for making the connection to observations. Our results confirm that the environment and scale dependence of the modified gravity effects have to be taken into account when confronting gravity theories with observations of dynamics in galaxies and clusters.", "date": "2010-05-15", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Physical Review D", "volume": "81", "number": "10", "publisher": "American Physical Society", "pagerange": "Art.

We examine the implications of such a ''dark force\" for several terrestrial experiments, including E\u00f6tv\u00f6s tests of the Weak Equivalence Principle (WEP), direct-detection DM searches, and collider studies. The presence of a dark force implies a nonvanishing effect in E\u00f6tv\u00f6s tests that could be probed by current and future experiments depending on the DM model. For scalar DM that is a singlet under the standard model gauge groups, a dark force of astrophysically relevant magnitude is ruled out in large regions of parameter space by the DM relic density and WEP constraints. WEP tests also imply constraints on the Higgs-exchange contributions to the spin-independent (SI) DM-nucleus direct-detection cross section. For WIMP scenarios, these considerations constrain Higgs-exchange contributions to the SI cross section to be subleading compared to gauge-boson mediated contributions. In multicomponent DM scenarios, a dark force would preclude large shifts in the rate for Higgs decay to two photons associated with DM-multiplet loops that might otherwise lead to measurable deviations at the LHC or a future linear collider.

The presence of evolving modifications to the gravitational force in the form of the scalar brane-bending mode leads to qualitative differences to the collapse in ordinary gravity. In particular, differences in the energetics of the collapse necessitate a new, generalized method for defining the virial radius which does not rely on strict energy conservation. These differences and techniques apply to smooth dark energy models with w \u2260 -1 as well. We also discuss the impact of the exterior of the perturbation on collapse quantities due to the lack of a Birkhoff theorem in DGP. The resulting predictions for the mass function, halo bias, and power spectrum are in good overall agreement with DGP N-body simulations on both the self-accelerating and normal branch. In particular, the impact of the Vainshtein mechanism as measured in the full simulations is matched well.

With a suitable choice of parameters the galform model can accurately reproduce the observed local K_s-band luminosity function (LF) for galaxies split by visual morphological type. The successful set of model parameters is used to populate the Millennium Simulation with 9.4 million galaxies and their dark matter haloes. The resulting catalogue is then used to explore the evolution of galaxies through cosmic history. The model predictions concur with recent observational results including the galaxy merger rate, the star formation rate and the seemingly antihierarchical evolution of ellipticals. However, the model also predicts significant evolution of the elliptical galaxy LF that is not observed. The discrepancy raises the possibility that samples of z~1 galaxies which have been selected using colour and morphological criteria may be contaminated with galaxies that are not actually ellipticals.", "date": "2010-03", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society", "volume": "402", "number": "4", "publisher": "Royal Astronomical Society", "pagerange": "2321-2334", "id_number": "CaltechAUTHORS:20100330-151338852", "issn": "0035-8711", "official_url": "https://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechAUTHORS:20100330-151338852", "rights": "No commercial reproduction, distribution, display or performance rights in this work are provided.", "funders": { "items": [ { "agency": "Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation" }, { "agency": "NSF", "grant_number": "PHY05-51164" } ] }, "local_group": { "items": [ { "id": "Moore-Center-for-Theoretical-Cosmology-and-Physics" } ] }, "doi": "10.1111/j.1365-2966.2009.16089.x", "primary_object": { "basename": "Benson2010p7306Mon_Not_R_Astron_Soc.pdf", "url": "https://authors.library.caltech.edu/records/m92gy-1ev12/files/Benson2010p7306Mon_Not_R_Astron_Soc.pdf" }, "pub_year": "2010", "author_list": "Benson, Andrew J. and Devereux, Nick" }, { "id": "https://authors.library.caltech.edu/records/mz5nv-q8513", "eprint_id": 17969, "eprint_status": "archive", "datestamp": "2023-08-19 01:39:27", "lastmod": "2023-10-20 15:28:26", "type": "article", "metadata_visibility": "show", "creators": { "items": [ { "id": "Kamionkowski-M", "name": { "family": "Kamionkowski", "given": "Marc" }, "orcid": "0000-0001-7018-2055" }, { "id": "Koushiappas-S-M", "name": { "family": "Koushiappas", "given": "Savvas M." } }, { "id": "Kuhlen-M", "name": { "family": "Kuhlen", "given": "Michael" } } ] }, "title": "Galactic substructure and dark-matter annihilation in the Milky Way halo", "ispublished": "pub", "full_text_status": "public", "note": "\u00a9 2010 The American Physical Society. \n\nReceived 19 January 2010; published 22 February 2010.\n\nThis work was initiated during a workshop, attended by all three authors, hosted by the Caltech/JPL Keck Institute for Space Studies.

", "abstract": "We present new determinations of the cosmic expansion history from red-envelope galaxies. We have obtained for this purpose high-quality spectra with the Keck-LRIS spectrograph of red-envelope galaxies in 24 galaxy clusters in the redshift range 0.2 < z < 1.0. We complement these Keck spectra with high-quality, publicly available archival spectra from the SPICES and VVDS surveys. We improve over our previous expansion history measurements in Simon et al. (2005) by providing two new determinations of the expansion history: H(z) = 97\u00b162 km sec^(\u22121) Mpc^(\u22121) at z \u2243 0.5 and H(z) = 90\u00b140 km sec^(\u22121) Mpc^(\u22121) at z \u2243 0.9. We discuss the uncertainty in the expansion history determination that arises from uncertainties in the synthetic stellar-population models. We then use these new measurements in concert with cosmic-microwave-background (CMB) measurements to constrain cosmological parameters, with a special emphasis on dark-energy parameters and constraints to the curvature. In particular, we demonstrate the usefulness of direct H(z) measurements by constraining the dark-energy equation of state parameterized by w_0 and w_a and allowing for arbitrary curvature. Further, we also constrain, using only CMB and H(z) data, the number of relativistic degrees of freedom to be 4\u00b10.5 and their total mass to be < 0.2 eV, both at 1\u03c3.", "date": "2010-02", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics", "volume": "2010", "number": "2", "publisher": "IOP Science", "pagerange": "Art.

The correct relic abundance can be obtained if the dark matter also couples to the conventional weak interactions, and we verify that this is consistent with particle-physics constraints. The primary limit on a comes from the demand that the dark matter be effectively collisionless in galactic dynamics, which implies \u03b1 \u227e 10^(-3) for TeV-scale dark matter. These values are easily compatible with constraints from structure formation and primordial nucleosynthesis.

The expansion history in this model is identical to \u039bCDM, thus evading all geometric constraints on the DGP crossover scale r_c. This well-defined model can serve as a first approximation to more general braneworld models whose cosmological solutions have not been obtained yet. We study the formation of large-scale structure in this model in the linear and nonlinear regime using N-body simulations for different values of r_c. The simulations use the code presented in 25 and solve the full nonlinear equation for the brane-bending mode in conjunction with the usual gravitational dynamics. The brane-bending mode is attractive rather than repulsive in the DGP normal branch, hence the sign of the modified gravity effects is reversed compared to those presented in 25. We compare the simulation results with those of ordinary \u039bCDM simulations run using the same code and initial conditions. We find that the matter power spectrum in this model shows a characteristic enhancement peaking at k ~ 0.7h/Mpc. We also find that the abundance of massive halos is significantly enhanced. Other results presented here include the density profiles of dark matter halos, and signatures of the brane-bending mode self-interactions (Vainshtein mechanism) in the simulations. Independently of the expansion history, these results can be used to place constraints on the DGP model and future generalizations through their effects on the growth of cosmological structure.", "date": "2009-12", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Physical Review D", "volume": "80", "number": "12", "publisher": "American Physical Society", "pagerange": "Art.

These and other solutions to Einstein gravity with flux and a cosmological constant are constructed by performing a dimensional reduction under the assumption of q-dimensional spherical symmetry in the full D-dimensional geometry. In addition to the familiar black holes, black branes, and compactification solutions we identify a number of new geometries, some of which are completely non-singular. The dynamical compactification mechanism populates lower-dimensional vacua very differently from false vacuum eternal inflation, which occurs entirely within the context of four-dimensions. We outline the phenomenology of the nucleation rates, finding that the dimensionality of the vacuum plays a key role and that among vacua of the same dimensionality, the rate is highest for smaller values of the cosmological constant. We consider the cosmological constant problem and propose a novel model of slow-roll inflation that is triggered by the compactification process.", "date": "2009-11", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Journal of High Energy Physics", "volume": "11", "publisher": "Springer", "pagerange": "Art.

The discovery implies that our most basic notions about how gravity works are violated on cosmological distance scales. A simple fix is to introduce a cosmological constant into the field equations for general relativity. However, the extremely small value of the cosmological constant, relative to theoretical expectations, has led theorists to explore numerous alternative explanations that involve the introduction of an exotic negative-pressure fluid or a modification of general relativity. Here we review the evidence for cosmic acceleration. We then survey some of the theoretical attempts to account for it, including the cosmological constant, quintessence and its variants, mass-varying neutrinos, and modifications of general relativity.

", "abstract": "If the hemispherical power asymmetry observed in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) on large angular scales is attributable to a superhorizon curvaton fluctuation, then the simplest model predicts that the primordial density fluctuations should be similarly asymmetric on all smaller scales. The distribution of high-redshift quasars was recently used to constrain the power asymmetry on scales k \u2243 1.5h Mpc^(-1), and the upper bound on the amplitude of the asymmetry was found to be a factor of 6 smaller than the amplitude of the asymmetry in the CMB. We show that it is not possible to generate an asymmetry with this scale dependence by changing the relative contributions of the inflaton and curvaton to the adiabatic power spectrum. Instead, we consider curvaton scenarios in which the curvaton decays after dark matter freezes out, thus generating isocurvature perturbations. If there is a superhorizon fluctuation in the curvaton field, then the rms amplitude of these perturbations will be asymmetric, and the asymmetry will be most apparent on large angular scales in the CMB. We find that it is only possible to generate the observed asymmetry in the CMB while satisfying the quasar constraint if the curvaton's contribution to the total dark matter density is small, but nonzero. The model also requires that the majority of the primordial power comes from fluctuations in the inflaton field. Future observations and analyses of the CMB will test this model because the power asymmetry generated by this model has a specific spectrum, and the model requires that the current upper bounds on isocurvature power are nearly saturated.", "date": "2009-10", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Physical Review D", "volume": "80", "number": "8", "publisher": "American Physical Society", "pagerange": "Art.

We compare the predictions of the galform semi-analytical galaxy formation model for the luminosities, morphologies, colours and scalelengths of local galaxies. galform models the luminosity and size of the disc and bulge components of a galaxy, and so we can compute quantities which can be compared directly with SDSS observations, such as the Petrosian magnitude and the S\u00e9rsic index. We test the predictions of two published models set in the cold dark matter cosmology: the Baugh et al. model, which assumes a top-heavy initial mass function (IMF) in starbursts and superwind feedback, and the Bower et al. model, which uses active galactic nucleus feedback and a standard IMF. The Bower et al. model better reproduces the overall shape of the luminosity function, the morphology\u2013luminosity relation and the colour bimodality observed in the SDSS data, but gives a poor match to the size\u2013luminosity relation. The Baugh et al. model successfully predicts the size\u2013luminosity relation for late-type galaxies. Both models fail to reproduce the sizes of bright early-type galaxies. These problems highlight the need to understand better both the role of feedback processes in determining galaxy sizes, in particular the treatment of the angular momentum of gas reheated by supernovae, and the sizes of the stellar spheroids formed by galaxy mergers and disc instabilities.", "date": "2009-07-17", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society", "volume": "397", "number": "3", "publisher": "Royal Astronomical Society", "pagerange": "1254-1274", "id_number": "CaltechAUTHORS:20090827-150331186", "issn": "0035-8711", "official_url": "https://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechAUTHORS:20090827-150331186", "rights": "No commercial reproduction, distribution, display or performance rights in this work are provided.", "funders": { "items": [ { "agency": "European Commission" }, { "agency": "Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC)" }, { "agency": "Royal Society" }, { "agency": "Marie Curie Fellowship", "grant_number": "MEST-CT-2005-021074" }, { "agency": "Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation" }, { "agency": "Alfred P.

We derive the variance with which these estimators can be measured and show that these variances reduce to the simpler flat-sky expressions in the appropriate limit. We evaluate the variances numerically. While the flat-sky formalism may be suitable if the rotation angle arises as a realization of a random field, the full-sky formalism will be required to search for rotations that vary slowly across the sky as well as for models in which the angular power spectrum for the rotation angle peaks at large angles.", "date": "2009-07-15", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Physical Review D", "volume": "80", "number": "2", "publisher": "American Physical Society", "pagerange": "Art.

When the vev breaks all the generators of the Lorentz group, six Goldstone modes emerge, two linear combinations of which have properties that are identical to those of the graviton in general relativity. Integrating out massive modes yields an infinite number of Lorentz-violating radiative-correction terms in the low-energy effective Lagrangian. We examine a representative subset of these terms and show that they modify the dispersion relation of the two propagating graviton modes such that their phase velocity is direction dependent.

", "abstract": "Unbound outflows in the form of highly collimated jets and broad winds appear to be a ubiquitous feature of accreting black hole systems. The most powerful jets are thought to derive a significant fraction, if not the majority, of their power from the rotational energy of the black hole. Whatever the precise mechanism that causes them, these jets must, therefore, exert a braking torque on the black hole. Consequently, we expect jet production to play a significant role in limiting the maximum spin attainable by accreting black holes. We calculate the spin-up function \u2013 the rate of change of black hole spin normalized to the black hole mass and accretion rate \u2013 for an accreting black hole, accounting for this braking torque. We assume that the accretion flow on to a Kerr black hole is advection-dominated (ADAF) and construct easy-to-use analytic fits to describe the global structure of such flows based on the numerical solutions of Popham & Gammie. We find that the predicted black hole spin-up function depends only on the black hole spin and dimensionless parameters describing the accretion flow. Using recent relativistic magnetohydrodynamical (MHD) numerical simulation results to calibrate the efficiency of angular momentum transfer in the flow, we find that an ADAF flow will spin a black hole up (or down) to an equilibrium value of about 96 per cent of the maximal spin value in the absence of jets. Combining our ADAF system with a simple model for jet power, we demonstrate that an equilibrium is reached at approximately 93 per cent of the maximal spin value, as found in the numerical simulation studies of the spin-up of accreting black holes, at which point the spin-up of the hole by accreted material is balanced by the braking torque arising from jet production. The existence of equilibrium spin means that optically dim active galactic nuclei (AGNs) that have grown via accretion from an advection-dominated flow will not be maximally rotating. It also offers a possible explanation for the tight correlation observed by Allen et al. between the Bondi accretion rate and jet power in nine, nearby, X-ray luminous giant elliptical galaxies. We suggest that the black holes in these galaxies must all be rotating close to their equilibrium value. Our model also yields a relationship between jet efficiency and black hole spin that is in surprisingly good agreement with that seen in the simulation studies, indicating that our simple model is a useful and convenient description of ADAF inflow \u2013 jet outflow about a spinning black hole for incorporation in semi-analytic modelling as well as cosmological numerical simulation studies focusing on the formation and evolution of galaxies, groups and clusters of galaxies.", "date": "2009-07-15", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society", "volume": "397", "number": "3", "publisher": "Royal Astronomical Society", "pagerange": "1302-1313", "id_number": "CaltechAUTHORS:20090821-142820846", "issn": "0035-8711", "official_url": "https://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechAUTHORS:20090821-142820846", "rights": "No commercial reproduction, distribution, display or performance rights in this work are provided.", "funders": { "items": [ { "agency": "Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation" }, { "agency": "Leverhulme Trust" }, { "agency": "Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC)" }, { "agency": "NSF", "grant_number": "PHY05-51164" } ] }, "local_group": { "items": [ { "id": "Moore-Center-for-Theoretical-Cosmology-and-Physics" } ] }, "doi": "10.1111/j.1365-2966.2009.15087.x", "primary_object": { "basename": "Benson2009p5597Mon_Not_R_Astron_Soc.pdf", "url": "https://authors.library.caltech.edu/records/fsx8j-hye40/files/Benson2009p5597Mon_Not_R_Astron_Soc.pdf" }, "pub_year": "2009", "author_list": "Benson, Andrew J. and Babul, Arif" }, { "id": "https://authors.library.caltech.edu/records/qnddx-grs67", "eprint_id": 14870, "eprint_status": "archive", "datestamp": "2023-08-20 02:15:29", "lastmod": "2023-10-18 20:04:42", "type": "article", "metadata_visibility": "show", "creators": { "items": [ { "id": "Carroll-S-M", "name": { "family": "Carroll", "given": "Sean M." }, "orcid": "0000-0002-4226-5758" }, { "id": "Mantry-S", "name": { "family": "Mantry", "given": "Sonny" } }, { "id": "Ramsey-Musolf-M-J", "name": { "family": "Ramsey-Musolf", "given": "Michael J." }, "orcid": "0000-0001-8110-2479" }, { "id": "Stubbs-C-W", "name": { "family": "Stubbs", "given": "Christopher W." }, "orcid": "0000-0003-0347-1724" } ] }, "title": "Dark-matter-induced violation of the weak equivalence principle", "ispublished": "pub", "full_text_status": "public", "note": "\u00a9 2009 The American Physical Society.\nReceived 30 July 2008; revised 15 October 2008; published 1 July 2009.\nWe thank J.

", "abstract": "One of the targets of the recently launched Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope is a diffuse gamma-ray background from dark-matter annihilation or decay in the Galactic halo. N-body simulations and theoretical arguments suggest that the dark matter in the Galactic halo may be clumped into substructure, rather than smoothly distributed. Here we propose the gamma-ray-flux probability distribution function (PDF) as a probe of substructure in the Galactic halo. We calculate this PDF for a phenomenological model of halo substructure and determine the regions of the substructure parameter space in which the PDF may be distinguished from the PDF for a smooth distribution of dark matter. In principle, the PDF allows a statistical detection of substructure, even if individual halos cannot be detected. It may also allow detection of substructure on the smallest microhalo mass scales, ~ M_\u2295, for weakly-interacting massive particles (WIMPs). Furthermore, it may also provide a method to measure the substructure mass function. However, an analysis that assumes a typical halo substructure model and a conservative estimate of the diffuse background suggests that the substructure PDF may not be detectable in the lifespan of Fermi in the specific case that the WIMP is a neutralino. Nevertheless, for a large range of substructure, WIMP annihilation, and diffuse background models, PDF analysis may provide a clear signature of substructure.", "date": "2009-07-03", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics", "volume": "2009", "number": "07", "publisher": "IOP", "pagerange": "Art.

", "abstract": "Only by incorporating various forms of feedback can theories of galaxy formation reproduce the present-day luminosity function of galaxies. It has also been argued that such feedback processes might explain the counterintuitive behaviour of 'downsizing' witnessed since redshifts z \u2243 1\u20132. To examine this question, observations spanning 0.4 < z < 1.4 from the Deep Extragalactic Evolutionary Probe (DEEP)2/Palomar survey are compared with a suite of equivalent mock observations derived from the Millennium Simulation, populated with galaxies using the galform code. Although the model successfully reproduces the observed total mass function and the general trend of 'downsizing', it fails to accurately reproduce the colour distribution and type-dependent mass functions at all redshifts probed. This failure is shared by other semi-analytical models which collectively appear to 'over-quench' star formation in intermediate-mass systems. These mock lightcones are also a valuable tool for investigating the reliability of the observational results in terms of cosmic variance. Using variance estimates derived from the lightcones, we confirm the significance of the decline since z \u223c 1 in the observed number density of massive blue galaxies which, we argue, provides the bulk of the associated growth in the red sequence. We also assess the limitations arising from cosmic variance in terms of our ability to observe mass-dependent growth since z \u223c 1.", "date": "2009-02-13", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society", "volume": "393", "number": "4", "publisher": "Royal Astronomical Society", "pagerange": "1127-1140", "id_number": "CaltechAUTHORS:20091006-151109583", "issn": "0035-8711", "official_url": "https://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechAUTHORS:20091006-151109583", "rights": "No commercial reproduction, distribution, display or performance rights in this work are provided.", "funders": { "items": [ { "agency": "Warden and Fellows of New College" }, { "agency": "Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation" }, { "agency": "Royal Society" } ] }, "local_group": { "items": [ { "id": "Moore-Center-for-Theoretical-Cosmology-and-Physics" } ] }, "doi": "10.1111/j.1365-2966.2008.14186.x", "primary_object": { "basename": "Stringer2009p54610.1111j.1365-2966.2008.14186.x.pdf", "url": "https://authors.library.caltech.edu/records/9x7ek-3s983/files/Stringer2009p54610.1111j.1365-2966.2008.14186.x.pdf" }, "pub_year": "2009", "author_list": "Stringer, M.

The dark matter consists of an equal number of positive and negative charges under the new force, but annihilations are suppressed if the dark-matter mass is sufficiently high and the dark fine-structure constant \u03b1^ is sufficiently small. The correct relic abundance can be obtained if the dark matter also couples to the conventional weak interactions, and we verify that this is consistent with particle-physics constraints. The primary limit on alpha^ comes from the demand that the dark matter be effectively collisionless in galactic dynamics, which implies \u03b1^<~10^-3 for TeV-scale dark matter. These values are easily compatible with constraints from structure formation and primordial nucleosynthesis.

", "abstract": "Recently, the DAMA/LIBRA Collaboration has repeated and reinforced their claim to have detected an annual modulation in their signal rate, and have interpreted this observation as evidence for dark-matter particles at the 8.2\u03c3 confidence level. Furthermore, it has also been noted that the effects of channeling may enable a weakly interacting massive particle (WIMP) that scatters elastically via spin-independent interactions from nuclei to produce the signal observed by DAMA/LIBRA without exceeding the limits placed by CDMS, XENON, CRESST, CoGeNT, and other direct-detection experiments. To accommodate this elastic-scattering explanation, however, the mass of the responsible dark-matter particle must be relatively light, mDM \u227e 10 GeV. Such dark-matter particles will become captured by and annihilate in the Sun at very high rates, leading to a potentially large flux of GeV-scale neutrinos. We calculate the neutrino spectrum resulting from WIMP annihilations in the Sun and show that existing limits from Super-Kamiokande can be used to close a significant portion of the DAMA region, especially if the dark-matter particles produce tau leptons or neutrinos in a sizable fraction of their annihilations. We also determine the spin-dependent WIMP-nuclei elastic-scattering parameter space consistent with DAMA. The constraints from Super-Kamiokande on the spin-dependent scenario are even more severe\u2014they exclude any self-annihilating WIMP in the DAMA region that annihilates 1% of the time or more to any combination of neutrinos, tau leptons, or charm or bottom quarks.", "date": "2009-01-01", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Physical Review D", "volume": "79", "number": "1", "publisher": "American Physical Society", "pagerange": "Art.

", "abstract": "We present a method for extracting the expected cosmological 21-cm signal from the epoch of re-ionization, taking into account contaminating radiations and random instrumental noise. The method is based on the maximum a posteriori probability (MAP) formalism and employs the coherence of the contaminating radiation along the line-of-sight and the three-dimensional correlations of the cosmological signal. We test the method using a detailed and comprehensive modelling of the cosmological 21-cm signal and the contaminating radiation. The signal is obtained using a high-resolution N-body simulation where the gas is assumed to trace the dark matter and is re-ionized by stellar radiation computed from semi-analytic galaxy formation recipes. We model contaminations to the cosmological signal from synchrotron and free\u2013free galactic foregrounds and extragalactic sources including active galactic nuclei, radio haloes and relics, synchrotron and free\u2013free emission from star-forming galaxies and free\u2013free emission from dark matter haloes and the intergalactic medium. We provide tests of the reconstruction method for several rms values of instrumental noise from \u03c3N= 1 to 250 mK. For low instrumental noise, the recovered signal, along individual lines-of-sight, fits the true cosmological signal with a mean rms difference of drms\u2248 1.7 \u00b1 0.6 for \u03c3N= 1 mK, and drms\u2248 4.2 \u00b1 0.4 for \u03c3N= 5 mK.

", "abstract": "Only ~10 per cent of baryons in the Universe are in the form of stars, yet most models of luminous structure formation have concentrated on the properties of the luminous stellar matter. Such models are now largely successful at reproducing the observed properties of galaxies, including the galaxy luminosity function and the star formation history of the universe. In this paper we focus on the 'flip side' of galaxy formation and investigate the properties of the material that is not presently locked up in galaxies. This 'by-product' of galaxy formation can be observed as an X-ray emitting plasma [the intracluster medium (ICM)] in groups and clusters. Since much of this material has been processed through galaxies, observations of the ICM represent an orthogonal set of constraints on galaxy formation models. In this paper, we attempt to self-consistently model the formation of galaxies and the heating of the ICM. We set out the challenges for such a combined model and demonstrate a possible means of bringing the model into line with both sets of constraints. \n\nIn this paper, we present a version of the Durham semi-analytic galaxy formation model GALFORM that allows us to investigate the properties of the ICM. As we would expect on the basis of gravitational scaling arguments, the previous model fails to reproduce even the most basic observed properties of the ICM. We present a simple modification to the model to allow for heat input into the ICM from the active galactic nucleus (AGN) 'radio-mode' feedback. This heating acts to expel gas from the X-ray luminous central regions of the host halo. With this modification, the model reproduces the observed gas mass fractions and luminosity\u2013temperature (L\u2013T) relation of groups and clusters. In contrast to simple 'pre-heating' models of the ICM, the model predicts mildly positive evolution of the L\u2013T relation, particularly at low temperatures. The model is energetically plausible, but seems to exceed the observed heating rates of intermediate-temperature clusters. Introducing the heating process into the model requires changes to a number of model parameters in order to retain a good match to the observed galaxy properties. With the revised parameters, the best-fitting luminosity function is comparable to that presented in Bower et al. The new model makes a fundamental step forward, providing a unified model of galaxy and cluster ICM formation. However, the detailed comparison with the data is not completely satisfactory, and we highlight key areas for improvement.", "date": "2008-11", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society", "volume": "390", "number": "4", "publisher": "Royal Astronomical Society", "pagerange": "1399-1410", "id_number": "CaltechAUTHORS:BOWmnras08", "issn": "0035-8711", "official_url": "https://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechAUTHORS:BOWmnras08", "rights": "No commercial reproduction, distribution, display or performance rights in this work are provided.", "funders": { "items": [ { "agency": "Durham University" }, { "agency": "Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC)" }, { "agency": "Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation" } ] }, "local_group": { "items": [ { "id": "Moore-Center-for-Theoretical-Cosmology-and-Physics" } ] }, "doi": "10.1111/j.1365-2966.2008.13869.x", "primary_object": { "basename": "BOWmnras08.pdf", "url": "https://authors.library.caltech.edu/records/2qe6y-r6e21/files/BOWmnras08.pdf" }, "pub_year": "2008", "author_list": "Bower, R.

After describing the generic features of a flux-induced potential for the complex structure and type IIB axiodilaton, we specialize to the mirror quintic Calabi-Yau to obtain an example landscape. Studying the cosmological dynamics of the complex structure moduli, we find that the potential generically does not support slow-roll inflation and that in general the landscape separates neatly into basins of attraction of the various minima. We then discuss tunneling, with the inclusion of gravitational effects, in many-dimensional field spaces. A set of constraints on the form of the Euclidean paths through field space are presented, and then applied to construct approximate instantons mediating the transition between de Sitter vacua in the flux landscape. We find that these instantons are generically thick wall and that the tunneling rate is suppressed in the large-volume limit. We also consider examples where supersymmetry is not broken by fluxes, in which case near\u2013Bogomolnyi-Prasad-Sommerfeld thin-wall bubbles can be constructed. We calculate the bubble-wall tension, finding that it scales like a D- or NS-brane bubble, and comment on the implications of this correspondence.

We investigate the effect on the colours of satellite galaxies produced by the ram-pressure stripping of their hot-gaseous atmospheres as the satellites orbit within their parent halo. We incorporate a model of the stripping process based on detailed hydrodynamic simulations within the Durham semi-analytic model of galaxy formation. The simulations show that the environment in groups and clusters is less aggressive than previously assumed. The main uncertainty in the model is the treatment of gas expelled by supernovae. With reasonable assumptions for the stripping of this material, we find that satellite galaxies are able to retain a significant fraction of their hot gas for several Gyr, thereby replenishing their reservoirs of cold, star-forming gas and remaining blue for a relatively long period of time. A bimodal distribution of galaxy colours, similar to that observed in Sloan Digital Sky Survey data, is established and the colours of the satellite galaxies are in good agreement with the data. In addition, our model naturally accounts for the observed dependence of satellite colours on environment, from small groups to high-mass clusters.", "date": "2008-10-01", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society", "volume": "389", "number": "4", "publisher": "Royal Astronomical Society", "pagerange": "1619-1629", "id_number": "CaltechAUTHORS:FONmnras08", "issn": "0035-8711", "official_url": "https://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechAUTHORS:FONmnras08", "rights": "No commercial reproduction, distribution, display or performance rights in this work are provided.", "funders": { "items": [ { "agency": "Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC)" }, { "agency": "Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC)" }, { "agency": "Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation" } ] }, "local_group": { "items": [ { "id": "Moore-Center-for-Theoretical-Cosmology-and-Physics" } ] }, "doi": "10.1111/j.1365-2966.2008.13698.x", "primary_object": { "basename": "0807.0001.pdf", "url": "https://authors.library.caltech.edu/records/ch100-kw423/files/0807.0001.pdf" }, "related_objects": [ { "basename": "FONmnras08.pdf", "url": "https://authors.library.caltech.edu/records/ch100-kw423/files/FONmnras08.pdf" } ], "pub_year": "2008", "author_list": "Font, A.

We find that the constraints from Smoluchowski's equation are degenerate, limiting to a thin plane in the three-dimensional parameter space. This constraint is consistent with those obtained from fitting to N-body measures of progenitor mass functions, and provides a better match to the evolution of the overall dark matter halo mass function, particularly for the most massive haloes. We demonstrate that the proposed merger rate function does not permit an exact solution of Smoluchowski's equation and, therefore, the choice of parameters must reflect a compromise between fitting various parts of the mass function. The techniques described herein are applicable to more general merger rate functions, which may permit a more accurate solution of Smoluchowski's equation.

We show that the biggest contribution comes from the cross correlation of the CMB with the matter density rather than from the Poisson term which is conventionally assumed in these calculations. For the three year WMAP data, we estimate that point sources could produce a non-Gaussian signature equivalent to a bias in fNL of 0.35, 0.24, -0.097, -0.13 in the Ka, Q, V, and W bands, respectively. The level of bias we find is largely insufficient to explain the very high fNL values recently detected by Yadav and Wandelt.

", "abstract": "Luminous red galaxies (LRGs) are much rarer and more massive than L* galaxies. Coupled with their extreme colours, LRGs therefore provide a demanding testing ground for the physics of massive galaxy formation. We present the first self-consistent predictions for the abundance and properties of LRGs in hierarchical structure formation models. We test two published models which use quite different mechanisms to suppress the formation of massive galaxies: the Bower et al. model which invokes 'active galactic nuclei (AGN) feedback' to prevent gas from cooling in massive haloes and the Baugh et al. model which relies upon a 'superwind' to eject gas before it is turned into stars. Without adjusting any parameters, the Bower et al. model gives an excellent match to the observed luminosity function of LRGs in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (with a median redshift of z=0.24 ) and to their clustering; the Baugh et al. model is less successful in these respects. Both models fail to match the observed abundance of LRGs at z= 0.5 to better than a factor of \u22482. In the models, LRGs are typically bulge-dominated systems with stellar masses of \u22482 \u00d7 10^11 h^\u22121 M\u2299 and velocity dispersions of \u03c3\u223c 250 km s^\u22121 . Around half of the stellar mass in the model LRGs is already formed by z\u223c 2.2 and is assembled into one main progenitor by z\u223c 1.5; on average, only 25 per cent of the mass of the main progenitor is added after z\u223c 1. LRGs are predicted to be found in a wide range of halo masses, a conclusion which relies on properly taking into account the scatter in the formation histories of haloes. Remarkably, we find that the correlation function of LRGs is predicted to be a power law down to small pair separations, in excellent agreement with observational estimates. Neither the Bower et al. nor the Baugh et al. model is able to reproduce the observed radii of LRGs.", "date": "2008-06-01", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society", "volume": "386", "number": "4", "publisher": "Royal Astronomical Society", "pagerange": "2145-2160", "id_number": "CaltechAUTHORS:ALMmnras08", "issn": "0035-8711", "official_url": "https://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechAUTHORS:ALMmnras08", "rights": "No commercial reproduction, distribution, display or performance rights in this work are provided.", "funders": { "items": [ { "agency": "Funda\u00e7\u00e3o para a Ci\u00eancia e a Tecnologia (FCT)" }, { "agency": "Royal Society" }, { "agency": "Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation" }, { "agency": "Particle Physics and Astronomy Research Council (PPARC)" } ] }, "local_group": { "items": [ { "id": "Moore-Center-for-Theoretical-Cosmology-and-Physics" } ] }, "doi": "10.1111/j.1365-2966.2008.13179.x", "primary_object": { "basename": "ALMmnras08.pdf", "url": "https://authors.library.caltech.edu/records/2t4sc-v9r68/files/ALMmnras08.pdf" }, "related_objects": [ { "basename": "0710.3557.pdf", "url": "https://authors.library.caltech.edu/records/2t4sc-v9r68/files/0710.3557.pdf" } ], "pub_year": "2008", "author_list": "Almeida, C.; Baugh, C.

Our central result is a probability distribution function (PDF) P(rho) for the local dark-matter density. This distribution must be taken into account when using null dark-matter searches to constrain the properties of dark-matter candidates. We take two approaches to calculating the PDF. The first is an analytic model that capitalizes on the scale-invariant nature of the structure-formation hierarchy in order to address early stages in the hierarchy (very small scales; high densities). Our second approach uses simulation-inspired results to describe the PDF that arises from lower-density larger-scale substructures which formed in more recent stages in the merger hierarchy. The distributions are skew positive, and they peak at densities lower than the mean density. The local dark-matter density may be as small as 1/10th the canonical value of ~=0.4 GeV cm^-3, but it is probably no less than 0.2 GeV cm^-3.", "date": "2008-05-15", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Physical Review D", "volume": "77", "number": "10", "publisher": "American Physical Society", "pagerange": "Art.

There is, however, no direct evidence for radiation domination prior to big-bang nucleosynthesis. Two nonstandard thermal histories are considered. In one, the low-temperature-reheating scenario, radiation domination begins as late as ~1 MeV, and is preceded by significant entropy generation. Thermal axion relic abundances are then suppressed, and cosmological limits to axions are loosened. For reheating temperatures Trh<~35 MeV, the large-scale structure limit to the axion mass is lifted. The remaining constraint from the total density of matter is significantly relaxed. Constraints are also relaxed for higher reheating temperatures. In a kination scenario, a more modest change to cosmological axion constraints is obtained. Future possible constraints to axions and low-temperature reheating from the helium abundance and next-generation large-scale-structure surveys are discussed.", "date": "2008-04-15", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Physical Review D", "volume": "77", "number": "8", "publisher": "American Physical Society", "pagerange": "Art.

We have developed a detailed and versatile model of disc formation which combines the strengths of previous studies of isolated discs with those of hierarchical galaxy formation models. Disc structure is inferred from the distribution of angular momentum in hot halo gas and the hierarchical build-up of dark matter, leading to theoretically generated systems where the evolution of surface density, rotation, velocity dispersion, stability and metallicity is predicted for annular regions of width 20-100 pc. The model will be used to establish whether the accepted theory of large-scale structure formation in the universe is consistent with observed trends in the properties of disc galaxies.\nThis first paper explicitly examines the importance of embedding such calculations within a merging hierarchy of dark matter haloes, finding that this leads to dramatically different formation histories compared to models in which discs grow in isolation.

", "abstract": "We discuss two new observational techniques that use observations of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) to place constraints on the mass, distance, and size distribution of small objects in the Kuiper Belt and inner Oort Cloud, collectively known as trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs). The first new technique considers the spectral distortion of the isotropic, or monopole, CMB by TNOs that have been heated by solar radiation to temperatures above that of the CMB. We apply this technique to the spectral measurements of the CMB by the Far Infrared Absolute Spectrophotometer on the Cosmic Background Explorer. The second technique utilizes the change in amplitude of the TNO signal due to the orbital motion of the observer to separate the TNO signal from the invariant extragalactic CMB and construct a map of the mass distribution in the outer solar system. We estimate the ability of future CMB experiments to create such a map.", "date": "2007-11-10", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Astrophysical Journal", "volume": "669", "number": "2", "publisher": "American Astronomical Society", "pagerange": "1406-1413", "id_number": "CaltechAUTHORS:20091014-105356620", "issn": "0004-637X", "official_url": "https://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechAUTHORS:20091014-105356620", "rights": "No commercial reproduction, distribution, display or performance rights in this work are provided.", "funders": { "items": [ { "agency": "Betty and Gordon Moore Foundation" }, { "agency": "NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program" }, { "agency": "Harvard Origins of Life Initiative" } ] }, "local_group": { "items": [ { "id": "Moore-Center-for-Theoretical-Cosmology-and-Physics" } ] }, "doi": "10.1086/521913", "primary_object": { "basename": "BABapj07.pdf", "url": "https://authors.library.caltech.edu/records/qw5ra-d1968/files/BABapj07.pdf" }, "pub_year": "2007", "author_list": "Babich, Daniel; Blake, Cullen H.; et el." }, { "id": "https://authors.library.caltech.edu/records/t36a3-f4z98", "eprint_id": 8890, "eprint_status": "archive", "datestamp": "2023-08-22 10:01:28", "lastmod": "2023-10-16 21:47:45", "type": "article", "metadata_visibility": "show", "creators": { "items": [ { "id": "Zhang-Le", "name": { "family": "Zhang", "given": "Le" } }, { "id": "Chen-Xuelei", "name": { "family": "Chen", "given": "Xuelei" } }, { "id": "Kamionkowski-M", "name": { "family": "Kamionkowski", "given": "Marc" }, "orcid": "0000-0001-7018-2055" }, { "id": "Si-Zong-guo", "name": { "family": "Si", "given": "Zong-guo" } }, { "id": "Zheng-Zheng", "name": { "family": "Zheng", "given": "Zheng" } } ] }, "title": "Constraints on radiative dark-matter decay from the cosmic microwave background", "ispublished": "pub", "full_text_status": "public", "note": "\u00a9 2007 The American Physical Society. \n\n(Received 18 April 2007; published 18 September 2007) \n\nOur MCMC chain computation was performed on the Supercomputing Center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Shanghai Supercomputing Center.

", "abstract": "If dark matter decays to electromagnetically interacting particles, it can inject energy into the baryonic gas and thus affect the processes of recombination and reionization. This leaves an imprint on the cosmic microwave background (CMB): the large-scale polarization is enhanced, and the small-scale temperature fluctuation is damped. We use the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) three-year data combined with galaxy surveys to constrain radiatively decaying dark matter. Our new limits to the dark-matter decay width are about 10 times stronger than previous limits. For dark-matter lifetimes that exceed the age of the Universe, a limit of zetaGammachi<1.7\u00d710^-25 s^-1 (95% C.L.) is derived, where zeta is the efficiency of converting decay energy into ionization energy. Limits for lifetimes short compared with the age of the Universe are also derived.

", "abstract": "We present the redshift distribution of the Submillimetre Common-User Bolometer Array (SCUBA) Half Degree Survey (SHADES) galaxy population based on the rest-frame radio\u2013mm\u2013far-infrared (FIR) colours of 120 robustly detected 850 \u03bcm sources in the Lockman Hole East (LH) and Subaru XMM\u2013Newton Deep Field (SXDF). The redshift distribution derived from the full spectral energy distribution (SED) information is shown to be narrower than that determined from the radio\u2013sub-mm spectral index, as more photometric bands contribute to a higher redshift accuracy. The redshift distribution of sources derived from at least two photometric bands peaks at z \u2248 2.4 and has a near-Gaussian distribution, with 50 per cent (interquartile range) of sources at z = 1.8\u20133.1. We find a statistically significant difference between the measured redshift distributions in the two fields; the SXDF peaking at a slightly lower redshift (median z \u2248 2.2 ) than the LH (median z \u2248 2.7 ), which we attribute to the noise properties of the radio observations. We demonstrate, however, that there could also be field-to-field variations that are consistent with the measured differences in the redshift distributions and, hence, that the incomplete area observed by SHADES with SCUBA, despite being the largest sub-mm survey to date, may still be too small to fully characterize the bright sub-mm galaxy population. Finally, we present a brief comparison with the predicted, or assumed, redshift distributions of sub-mm galaxy formation and evolution models, and we derive the contribution of these SHADES sources and the general sub-mm galaxy population to the star formation rate density at different epochs.", "date": "2007-08-21", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society", "volume": "379", "number": "4", "publisher": "Royal Astronomical Society", "pagerange": "1571-1588", "id_number": "CaltechAUTHORS:20090410-112320222", "issn": "0035-8711", "official_url": "https://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechAUTHORS:20090410-112320222", "rights": "No commercial reproduction, distribution, display or performance rights in this work are provided.", "funders": { "items": [ { "agency": "Consejo Nacional de Ciencia y Tecnolog\u00eda (CONACYT)", "grant_number": "39548-F" }, { "agency": "Consejo Nacional de Ciencia y Tecnolog\u00eda (CONACYT)", "grant_number": "39953-F" }, { "agency": "Particle Physics and Astronomy Research Council (PPARC)" }, { "agency": "Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC)" }, { "agency": "Royal Society" }, { "agency": "Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation" }, { "agency": "University of California, Irvine" } ] }, "local_group": { "items": [ { "id": "Moore-Center-for-Theoretical-Cosmology-and-Physics" } ] }, "doi": "10.1111/j.1365-2966.2007.12036.x", "primary_object": { "basename": "0702503.pdf", "url": "https://authors.library.caltech.edu/records/9nazp-2wp02/files/0702503.pdf" }, "related_objects": [ { "basename": "AREmnras07.pdf", "url": "https://authors.library.caltech.edu/records/9nazp-2wp02/files/AREmnras07.pdf" } ], "pub_year": "2007", "author_list": "Aretxaga, Itziar; Hughes, David H.; et el." }, { "id": "https://authors.library.caltech.edu/records/dz35a-rmn09", "eprint_id": 16368, "eprint_status": "archive", "datestamp": "2023-08-22 09:44:50", "lastmod": "2023-10-19 22:09:17", "type": "article", "metadata_visibility": "show", "creators": { "items": [ { "id": "Benson-A-J", "name": { "family": "Benson", "given": "A.

We carry out extensive tests of this code and of gim2d, finding that they perform similarly in all respects. From the spheroid and disc luminosities, we construct luminosity and stellar mass functions for each component and estimate the relative luminosity and stellar mass densities of discs and spheroids in the local Universe. Assuming a simple one-to-one mapping between spheroid mass and the mass of a central supermassive black hole, we provide the most accurate determination so far of the black hole mass function in the local universe. From this, we infer a cosmological mass density of black holes of \u03c1_\u2022 = (3.77 \u00b1 0.97) \u00d7 10^5 h M_\u2299 Mpc^(\u22123) .

", "abstract": "While the accelerated expansion of the Universe is by now well established, an underlying scalar-field potential possibly responsible for this acceleration remains unconstrained. We present an attempt to reconstruct this potential using recent SN data, under the assumption that the acceleration is driven by a single scalar field. Current approaches to such reconstructions are based upon simple parametric descriptions of either the luminosity distance or the dark energy equation of state. We find that these various approximations lead to a range of derived evolutionary histories of the dark energy equation of state (although there is considerable overlap between the different potential shapes allowed by the data). Instead of these indirect reconstruction schemes, we discuss a technique to determine the potential directly from the data by expressing it in terms of a binned scalar field. We apply this technique to a recent SN data set, and compare the results with model-dependent approaches. In a similar fashion to direct estimates of the dark energy equation of state, we advocate direct reconstruction of the scalar-field potential as a way to minimize prior assumptions on the shape, and thus minimize the introduction of bias in the derived potential.", "date": "2007-05-15", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Physical Review D", "volume": "75", "number": "10", "publisher": "American Physical Society", "pagerange": "Art.

A flurry of recent papers have called Chiba's result into question. They argue that the spherically-symmetric vacuum spacetime in this theory is the Schwarzschild-de Sitter solution, making this theory consistent with Solar System tests. We point out that although the Schwarzschild-de Sitter solution exists in this theory, it is not the unique spherically-symmetric vacuum solution, and it is not the solution that describes the spacetime in the Solar System. The solution that correctly matches onto the stellar-interior solution differs from Schwarzschild-de Sitter in a way consistent with Chiba's claims.

", "abstract": "Satellite galaxies currently undergoing tidal disruption offer a unique opportunity to constrain an effective violation of the equivalence principle in the dark sector. While dark matter in the standard scenario interacts solely through gravity on large scales, a new long-range force between dark-matter particles may naturally arise in theories in which the dark matter couples to a light scalar field. An inverse-square-law force of this kind would manifest itself as a violation of the equivalence principle in the dynamics of dark matter compared to baryons in the form of gas or stars. In a previous paper, we showed that an attractive force would displace stars outwards from the bottom of the satellite's gravitational potential well, leading to a higher fraction of stars being disrupted from the tidal bulge further from the Galactic center. Since stars disrupted from the far (near) side of the satellite go on to form the trailing (leading) tidal stream, an attractive dark-matter force will produce a relative enhancement of the trailing stream compared to the leading stream. This distinctive signature of a dark-matter force might be detected through detailed observations of the tidal tails of a disrupting satellite, such as those recently performed by the Two-Micron All-Sky Survey (2MASS) and Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) on the Sagittarius (Sgr) dwarf galaxy. Here we show that this signature is robust to changes in our models for both the satellite and Milky Way, suggesting that we might hope to search for a dark-matter force in the tidal features of other recently discovered satellite galaxies in addition to the Sgr dwarf.", "date": "2006-10-15", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Physical Review D", "volume": "74", "number": "8", "publisher": "American Physical Society", "pagerange": "Art.
