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…
Find the Gap: Black Hole Population Analysis with an Astrophysically Motivated Mass Function
Eric J. Baxter, Djuna Croon, Samuel D. McDermott +1
We introduce a novel black hole mass function which realistically models the physics of star formation and pair instability supernova with a minimal number of parameters. Applying…
Direct detection of dark energy: the XENON1T excess and future prospects
Sunny Vagnozzi, Luca Visinelli, Philippe Brax +2
We explore the prospects for direct detection of dark energy by current and upcoming terrestrial dark matter direct detection experiments. If dark energy is driven by a new light d…
A 5% measurement of the gravitational constant in the Large Magellanic Cloud
Harry Desmond, Jeremy Sakstein, Bhuvnesh Jain
We perform a novel test of General Relativity by measuring the gravitational constant in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). The LMC contains six well-studied Cepheid variable stars…
Neutrino-Assisted Early Dark Energy: Theory and Cosmology
Mariana Carrillo González, Qiuyue Liang, Jeremy Sakstein +1
The tension between measurements of the Hubble constant obtained at different redshifts may provide a hint of new physics active in the relatively early universe, around the epoch…
Beyond the Standard Model Explanations of GW190521
Jeremy Sakstein, Djuna Croon, Samuel D. McDermott +2
The LIGO/Virgo collaboration has recently announced the detection of a heavy binary black hole merger, with component masses that cannot be explained by standard stellar structure…
