Superradiance Exclusions in the Landscape of Type IIB String Theory

Viraf M. Mehta, Mehmet Demirtas, Cody Long +3

We obtain constraints from black hole superradiance in an ensemble of compactifications of type IIB string theory. The constraints require knowing only the axion masses and self-in…

New insights into the formation and growth of boson stars in dark matter halos

Jiajun Chen, Xiaolong Du, Erik W. Lentz +2

This work studies the formation and growth of boson stars and their surrounding miniclusters by gravitational condensation using non-linear dynamical numerical methods. Fully dynam…

A Novel Estimator for the Equation of State of the IGM by Ly Forest Tomography

Hendrik Müller, Christoph Behrens, David James Edward Marsh

We present a novel procedure to estimate the Equation of State of the intergalactic medium in the quasi-linear regime of structure formation based on Ly forest tomography and ap…

Global fits of axion-like particles to XENON1T and astrophysical data

Peter Athron, Csaba Balázs, Ankit Beniwal +13

The excess of electron recoil events seen by the XENON1T experiment has been interpreted as a potential signal of axion-like particles (ALPs), either produced in the Sun, or consti…

An Optimized Ly Forest Inversion Tool Based on a Quantitative Comparison of Existing Reconstruction Methods

Hendrik Müller, Christoph Behrens, David James Edward Marsh

We present a same-level comparison of the most prominent inversion methods for the reconstruction of the matter density field in the quasi-linear regime from the Ly forest flux.…

Axion Miniclusters Made Easy

David Ellis, David J. E. Marsh, Christoph Behrens

We use a modified version of the Peak Patch excursion set formalism to compute the mass and size distribution of QCD axion miniclusters from a fully non-Gaussian initial density fi…
