Higher Spin Dark Matter
Stephon Alexander, Leah Jenks, Evan McDonough
Little is known about dark matter beyond the fact that it does not interact with the standard model or itself, or else does so incredibly weakly. A natural candidate, given the his…
Probing Noncommutative Gravity with Gravitational Wave and Binary Pulsar Observations
Leah Jenks, Kent Yagi, Stephon Alexander
Noncommutative gravity is a natural method of quantizing spacetime by promoting the spacetime coordinates themselves to operators which do not commute. This approach is motivated,…
Higher Spin Supersymmetry at the Cosmological Collider: Sculpting SUSY Rilles in the CMB
Stephon Alexander, S. James Gates, Leah Jenks +2
We study the imprint of higher spin supermultiplets on cosmological correlators, namely the non-Gaussianity of the cosmic microwave background. Supersymmetry is used as a guide to…
The June 2016 Optical and Gamma-Ray Outburst and Optical Micro-Variability of the Blazar 3C454.3
Zachary R. Weaver, Thomas J. Balonek, Svetlana G. Jorstad +17
The quasar 3C454.3 underwent a uniquely-structured multi-frequency outburst in June 2016. The blazar was observed in the optical band by several ground-based telescopes in phot…
Thick Disks in the Hubble Space Telescope Frontier Fields
Bruce G. Elmegreen, Debra Meloy Elmegreen, Brittany Tompkins +1
Thick disk evolution is studied using edge-on galaxies in two Hubble Space Telescope Frontier Field Parallels. The galaxies were separated into 72 clumpy types and 35 spiral types…
