Bright continuously-tunable VUV source for ultrafast spectroscopy

Lucie Jurkovičová, Ltaief Ben Ltaief, Andreas Hult Roos +14

Ultrafast electron dynamics drive phenomena such as photochemical reactions, catalysis, and light harvesting. To capture such dynamics in real-time, femtosecond to attosecond light…

Ultrarelativistic electron beams accelerated by terawatt scalable kHz laser

C. M. Lazzarini, G. M. Grittani, P. Valenta +14

We show the laser-driven acceleration of unprecedented, collimated ( divergence), and quasi-monoenergetic ( energy spread) electron beams with energ…

Laser Pulse Duration Optimization With Numerical Methods

Francesco Capuano, Davorin Peceli, Gabriele Tiboni +2

In this study we explore the optimization of laser pulse duration to obtain the shortest possible pulse. We do this by employing a feedback loop between a pulse shaper and pulse du…

Continuous Habitable Zones: Using Bayesian Methods to Prioritize Characterization of Potentially Habitable Worlds

Austin Ware, Patrick Young, Amanda Truitt +1

The number of potentially habitable planets continues to increase, but we lack the time and resources to characterize all of them. With 30 known potentially habitable planets…

A Flexible Bayesian Framework for Assessing Habitability with Joint Observational and Model Constraints

Amanda R. Truitt, Patrick A. Young, Sara I. Walker +1

The catalog of stellar evolution tracks discussed in our previous work is meant to help characterize exoplanet host-stars of interest for follow-up observations with future mission…

Using Real and Simulated Measurements of the Thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Effect to Constrain Models of AGN Feedback

Alexander Spacek, Mark Richardson, Evan Scannapieco +4

Energetic feedback from active galactic nuclei (AGNs) is often used in simulations to resolve several outstanding issues in galaxy formation, but its impact is still not fully unde…

Searching For Fossil Evidence of AGN Feedback in WISE-Selected Stripe-82 Galaxies By Measuring the Thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Effect With the Atacama Cosmology Telescope

Alexander Spacek, Evan Scannapieco, Seth Cohen +2

We directly measure the thermal energy of the gas surrounding galaxies through the thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (tSZ) effect. We perform a stacking analysis of microwave background i…

Constraining AGN Feedback in Massive Ellipticals with South Pole Telescope Measurements of the Thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Effect

Alexander Spacek, Evan Scannapieco, Seth Cohen +2

Energetic feedback due to active galactic nuclei (AGN) is likely to play an important role in the observed anti-hierarchical trend in the evolution of galaxies, and yet the energy…

A Catalog of Stellar Evolution Profiles and the Effects of Variable Composition on Habitable Systems

Amanda Truitt, Patrick A. Young, Alexander Spacek +2

We present stellar evolution models for 0.5 - 1.2 \Msol at scaled metallicities of 0.1 - 1.5 Z\sol and O/Fe values of 0.44 - 2.28 O/Fe\sol. The time dependent evolution of habitabl…
