Diagnosing DASH: A Catalog of Structural Properties for the COSMOS-DASH Survey

Sam E. Cutler, Katherine E. Whitaker, Lamiya A. Mowla +16

We present the morphological catalogs for the COSMOS-DASH survey, the largest area near-IR survey using HST-WFC3 to date. Utilizing the "Drift And SHift" observing techni…

High Molecular-Gas to Dust Mass Ratios Predicted in Most Quiescent Galaxies

Katherine E. Whitaker, Desika Narayanan, Christina C. Williams +15

Observations of cold molecular gas reservoirs are critical for understanding the shutdown of star formation in massive galaxies. While dust continuum is an efficient and affordable…

Quenching of star formation from a lack of inflowing gas to galaxies

Katherine E. Whitaker, Christina C. Williams, Lamiya Mowla +16

Star formation in half of massive galaxies was quenched by the time the Universe was three billion years old. Very low amounts of molecular gas appear responsible for this, at leas…

A Gravitationally Lensed Supernova with an Observable Two-Decade Time Delay

Steven A. Rodney, Gabriel B. Brammer, Justin D. R. Pierel +5

When the light from a distant object passes very near to a foreground galaxy or cluster, gravitational lensing can cause it to appear as multiple images on the sky. If the source i…

Early Science with the Large Millimeter Telescope: Constraining the Gas Fraction of a Compact Quiescent Galaxy at z=1.883

Joyce N. Caliendo, Katherine E. Whitaker, Mohammad Akhshik +14

We present constraints on the dust continuum flux and inferred gas content of a gravitationally lensed massive quiescent galaxy at =1.8830.001 using AzTEC 1.1mm imaging wit…

Primordial Statistical Anisotropies: The Effective Field Theory Approach

Ali Akbar Abolhasani, Mohammad Akhshik, Razieh Emami +1

In this work we present the effective field theory of primordial statistical anisotropies generated during anisotropic inflation involving a background gauge field. Besides…

Effective Field Theory of non-Attractor Inflation

Mohammad Akhshik, Hassan Firouzjahi, Sadra Jazayeri

We present the model-independent studies of non attractor inflation in the context of effective field theory (EFT) of inflation. Within the EFT approach two independent branches of…

Clustering Fossils in Solid Inflation

Mohammad Akhshik

In solid inflation the single field non-Gaussianity consistency condition is violated. As a result, the long tensor perturbation induces observable clustering fossils in the form o…

Statistical Anisotropies in Gravitational Waves in Solid Inflation

Mohammad Akhshik, Razieh Emami, Hassan Firouzjahi +1

Solid inflation can support a long period of anisotropic inflation. We calculate the statistical anisotropies in the scalar and tensor power spectra and their cross-correlation in…
