The Simons Observatory: forecasted constraints on primordial gravitational waves with the expanded array of Small Aperture Telescopes

The Simons Observatory Collaboration, I. Abril-Cabezas, S. Adachi +479

We present updated forecasts for the scientific performance of the degree-scale (0.5 deg FWHM at 93 GHz), deep-field survey to be conducted by the Simons Observatory (SO). By 2027,…

Using convolutional neural networks to predict galaxy metallicity from three-color images

John F. Wu, Steven Boada

We train a deep residual convolutional neural network (CNN) to predict the gas-phase metallicity () of galaxies derived from spectroscopic information ($Z \equiv 12 + \log(\rm O…

High Confidence Optical Confirmations Among the High Signal-to-Noise Planck Cluster Candidates

Steven Boada, John P. Hughes, Felipe Menanteau +3

We report on newly identified galaxy clusters from the high signal-to-noise (-) end of the second all-sky \textit{Planck} Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) catalog (PSZ2). The cluster…
