Transit timing variations (TTVs) are ubiquitous in exoplanet
transit datasets, with Kepler alone containing ~2,000 periodic
TTVs. However, these TTVs are often ambiguous from a model
selection perspective, as it is difficult to determine the...
Abstract: Earthquakes exhibit complex behavior
at all scales, from the evolution of slip during a single rupture
lasting seconds to minutes, to the statistics of regional
seismicity over years or centuries. The origin of complexity in
fault behavior...
Results from JWST have challenged our prior views of galaxy
formation and supermassive black hole growth at the earliest cosmic
epochs. Our knowledge of the distant universe has evolved rapidly
over the last two years of science operations, and...
Abstract: A clear outcome of Snowmass 2021 and
now the US P5 report was the community support for R&D towards
a future muon collider. In this talk we will discuss the
general physics program that becomes available to the community
during the...
JWST has the powerful new capability to both measure the
structural and stellar population properties of distant galaxies
through deep near-infrared imaging and probe emission lines and
continuum spectroscopically. The combination of these probes...
Abstract: I will give an overview of recent
activity based on the idea that we can test quantum properties of
the gravitational field in experiments. I will emphasize the need
to state precisely what hypotheses are being tested by showing
some...
Gas giant planets’ deep internal structures and basic properties
remain uncertain, even in our own solar system. Fortunately, the
interactions of planets with their environments offer complementary
insight to direct observations. I will describe how...
I present the evolution of the relationship between galaxy
stellar mass and their host dark matter halo mass since the
Universe was only about a billion years old (z ~ 5) until today.
The galaxy-halo mass relationship was constrained through
the...
