Multi-Generational Black Hole Population Analysis with an Astrophysically Informed Mass Function
Yannick Ulrich, Djuna Croon, Jeremy Sakstein +1
We analyze the population statistics of black holes in the LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA GWTC-3 catalog using a parametric mass function derived from simulations of massive stars experiencing p…
WavPool: A New Block for Deep Neural Networks
Samuel D. McDermott, M. Voetberg, Brian Nord
Modern deep neural networks comprise many operational layers, such as dense or convolutional layers, which are often collected into blocks. In this work, we introduce a new, wavele…
Snowmass Theory Frontier: Astrophysics and Cosmology
Daniel Green, Joshua T. Ruderman, Benjamin R. Safdi +84
We summarize progress made in theoretical astrophysics and cosmology over the past decade and areas of interest for the coming decade. This Report is prepared as the TF09 "Astrophy…
A Phantom Menace: On the Morphology of the Galactic Center Excess
Samuel D. McDermott, Yi-Ming Zhong, Ilias Cholis
The characteristics of the Galactic Center Excess (GCE) emission observed in gamma-ray energies -- especially the morphology of the GCE -- remain a hotly debated subject. The manne…
Astrophysical and Cosmological Probes of Dark Matter
Kimberly K. Boddy, Mariangela Lisanti, Samuel D. McDermott +16
While astrophysical and cosmological probes provide a remarkably precise and consistent picture of the quantity and general properties of dark matter, its fundamental nature remain…
Axion Instability Supernovae
Jeremy Sakstein, Djuna Croon, Samuel D. McDermott
New particles coupled to the Standard Model can equilibrate in stellar cores if they are sufficiently heavy and strongly coupled. In this work, we investigate the astrophysical con…
