Picture an Astronomer: Best Practices for Retaining Talent in Astrophysics
Ava Polzin, Katherine E. Whitaker, C. Megan Urry +85
Women are consistently underrepresented in astrophysics yet are simultaneously subject to disproportionate attrition at every career stage. This disparity between demonstrated effi…

The Effect of Nonlinear Gravity on the Cosmological Background During Preheating
Ryn Grutkoski, Hayley J. Macpherson, John T. Giblin +1
We use numerical relativity to study the violent preheating era at the end of inflation. This epoch can result in highly nonlinear fluctuations in density and gravitational potenti…

Gauge preheating with full general relativity
Peter Adshead, John T. Giblin, Ryn Grutkoski +1
We study gauge preheating following pseudoscalar-driven inflation in full general relativity. We implement the Baumgarte-Shapiro-Shibata-Nakamura (BSSN) scheme to solve the full no…
