Antisplit Supersymmetry

Linda M. Carpenter

I explore the phenomenology of Supersymmetry models in which the gauginos are much heavier then that scalar particles of the MSSM. In these models, the gauginos are inaccessible to…

Double-peaked profiles: ubiquitous signatures of disks in the Broad Emission Lines of Active Galactic Nuclei

Thaisa Storchi-Bergmann, Jaderson S. Schimoia, Bradley M. Peterson +4

Broad (~10,000 km/s), double-peaked emission-line profiles of Balmer lines emitted by active galactic nuclei (AGN) are thought to originate in the outer parts of an accretion disk…

What can we Learn from Predictive Modeling?

Skyler J. Cranmer, Bruce A. Desmarais

The large majority of inferences drawn in empirical political research follow from model-based associations (e.g. regression). Here, we articulate the benefits of predictive modeli…

Variable classification in the LSST era: Exploring a model for quasi-periodic light curves

J. C. Zinn, C. S. Kochanek, S. Kozłowski +10

LSST is expected to yield ~10^7 light curves over the course of its mission, which will require a concerted effort in automated classification. Stochastic processes provide one mea…

Optical Depth Estimates and Effective Critical Densities of Dense Gas Tracers in the Inner Parts of Nearby Galaxy Discs

M. J. Jimenez-Donaire, F. Bigiel, A. K. Leroy +17

High critical density molecular lines like HCN(1-0) or HCO+(1-0) represent our best tool to study currently star-forming, dense molecular gas at extragalactic distances. The optica…

Full action of two deformation operators in the D1D5 CFT

Zaq Carson, Shaun Hampton, Samir D. Mathur

We are interested in thermalization in the D1D5 CFT, since this process is expected to be dual to black hole formation. We expect that the lowest order process where thermalization…
