Sensitivity of Next-Generation CMB Surveys to Neutrinos and Other Light Relics

Cynthia Trendafilova, Srinivasan Raghunathan, Benjamin Wallisch +33

Neutrinos and other light relics leave characteristic imprints in the cosmic microwave background anisotropies, making their observation a sensitive probe of the particle content a…

A Fully Photometric Approach to Type Ia Supernova Cosmology in the LSST Era: Host Galaxy Redshifts and Supernova Classification

Ayan Mitra, Richard Kessler, Rebecca C. Chen +9

The upcoming Vera C. Rubin Observatory's Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) is expected to discover nearly a million Type Ia supernovae (SNeIa), offering an unprecedented oppor…

Learning Correlated Astrophysical Foregrounds with Denoising Diffusion Probabilistic Models

Karthik Prabhu, Srinivasan Raghunathan, Ethan B. Anderes +1

Extragalactic foregrounds -- most notably the Cosmic Infrared Background (CIB) and the thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (tSZ) effect -- exhibit complex, non-Gaussian structure and correl…

Galaxies in the Epoch of Reionization Are All Bark and No Bite -- Plenty of Ionizing Photons, Low Escape Fractions

Casey Papovich, Justin W. Cole, Weida Hu +27

Early results from JWST suggest that epoch-of-reionization (EoR) galaxies produce copious ionizing photons, which, if they escape efficiently, could cause reionization to occur too…

Unified and consistent structure growth measurements from joint ACT, SPT and \textit{Planck} CMB lensing

Frank J. Qu, Fei Ge, W. L. Kimmy Wu +143

We present the tightest cosmic microwave background (CMB) lensing constraints to date on the growth of structure by combining CMB lensing measurements from the Atacama Cosmology Te…

Cool dark sector, concordance, and a low

Ellie Hughes, Fei Ge, Francis-Yan Cyr-Racine +2

We investigate a cosmological model in which a fraction of the dark matter is atomic dark matter (ADM). This ADM consists of dark versions of the electron and of the proton, intera…

Dissecting the Thermal SZ Power Spectrum by Halo Mass and Redshift in SPT-SZ Data and Simulations

Josemanuel Hernandez, Lindsey Bleem, Thomas Crawford +4

We explore the relationship between the thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (tSZ) power spectrum amplitude and the halo mass and redshift of galaxy clusters in South Pole Telescope (SPT) da…

Sounds Discordant: Classical Distance Ladder & CDM -based Determinations of the Cosmological Sound Horizon

Kevin Aylor, Mackenzie Joy, Lloyd Knox +3

Type Ia Supernovae, calibrated by classical distance ladder methods, can be used, in conjunction with galaxy survey two-point correlation functions, to empirically determine the si…
