Using sparse gaussian processes for predicting robust inertial confinement fusion implosion yields
(arXiv, 2019)Here we present the application of an advanced Sparse Gaussian Process based machine learning algorithm to the challenge of predicting the yields of inertial confinement fusion (ICF) experiments. The algorithm is used ... -
Scalar-tensor theories of gravity, neutrino physics, and the H0 tension
(IOP Publishing, 2020)We use Planck 2018 data to constrain the simplest models of scalar-tensor theories characterized by a coupling to the Ricci scalar of the type F(σ)R with F(σ) = N2 pl + ξσ2 . We update our results with previous Planck ... -
Full-sky bispectrum in redshift space for 21cm intensity maps
(IOP Publishing, 2020)We compute the tree-level bispectrum of 21cm intensity mapping after reionisation. We work in directly observable angular and redshift space, focusing on equal-redshift correlations and thin redshift bins, for which the ... -
The role of environment in galaxy evolution in the servs survey. I. density maps and cluster candidates
(The American Astronomical Society, 2020)We use photometric redshifts derived from new u-band through 4.5 μm Spitzer IRAC photometry in the 4.8 deg2 of the XMM-LSS field to construct surface density maps in the redshift range of 0.1–1.5. Our density maps ... -
Extending the variability selection of active galactic nuclei in the W-CDF-S and SERVS/SWIRE region
(EDP Sciences, 2020)Variability has proven to be a powerful tool to detect active galactic nuclei (AGN) in multi-epoch surveys. The new-generation facilities expected to become operational in the next few years will mark a new era in time-domain ... -
Development and application of an HDF5 schema for SKA-scale image cube visualization
(Elsevier, 2020)In this paper, we describe an HDF5 schema created to support the efficient visualization of the large image cubes that will be produced by SKA Phase 1 and precursor radio telescopes. We demonstrate how the “HDF5-IDIA” ... -
NOEMA redshift measurements of bright Herschel galaxies
(EDP Sciences, 2020)Using the IRAM NOrthern Extended Millimeter Array (NOEMA), we conducted a program to measure redshifts for 13 bright galaxies detected in the Herschel Astrophysical Large Area Survey with S500 μm ≥ 80 mJy. We report reliable ... -
A census of the pulsar population observed with the international LOFAR station FR606 at low frequencies (25–80 MHz)
(EDP Sciences, 2020)ontext. To date, only 69 pulsars have been identified with a detected pulsed radio emission below 100 MHz. A LOFAR-core LBA census and a dedicated campaign with the Nançay LOFAR station in stand-alone mode were carried out ... -
Planck 2018 results VII. Isotropy and statistics of the CMB
(EDP Sciences, 2020)Analysis of the Planck 2018 data set indicates that the statistical properties of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature anisotropies are in excellent agreement with previous studies using the 2013 and 2015 data ... -
Planck 2018 results VIII. Gravitational lensing
(EDP Sciences, 2020)We present measurements of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) lensing potential using the final Planck 2018 temperature and polarization data. Using polarization maps filtered to account for the noise anisotropy, we ... -
Planck 2018 results IX. Constraints on primordial non-Gaussianity
(EDP Sciences, 2020)We analyse the Planck full-mission cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature and E-mode polarization maps to obtain constraints on primordial non-Gaussianity (NG). We compare estimates obtained from separable ... -
Measuring lensing ratios with future cosmological surveys
(American Physical Society, 2020)The ratio between the CMB lensing/galaxy counts and the galaxy shear/galaxy counts cross-correlations combines the information from different cosmological probes to infer cosmographic measurements that are less dependent ... -
Probing beyond-Horndeski gravity on ultra-large scales
(2020)The beyond-Horndeski gravity has recently been reformulated in the dark energy paradigm — which has been dubbed, Unified Dark Energy (UDE). The evolution equations for the given UDE appear to correspond to a non-conservative ... -
Larger value for H0 by an evolving gravitational constant
(American Physical Society, 2020)We provide further evidence that a massless cosmological scalar field with a nonminimal coupling to the Ricci curvature of the type M 2 pl ( 1 + ξ σ n / M n pl ) alleviates the existing tension between ... -
Torsion driven inflationary magnetogenesis
(American Physical Society, 2020)We show that the breaking of the conformal invariance of the electromagnetic Lagrangian, which is required for inflationary magnetogenesis, arises naturally in the Poincaré gauge theory. We use the minimal coupling ... -

Measurement and analysis of nuclear γ-ray production cross sections in proton interactions with Mg, Si, and Fe nuclei abundant in astrophysical sites over the incident energy range E = 30–66 MeV
(American Physical Society, 2020)The modeling of nuclear γ -ray line emission induced by highly accelerated particles in astrophysical sites (e.g., solar flares, the gas and dust in the inner galaxy) and the comparison with observed emissions from these ... -

Foreground modelling via Gaussian process regression: an application to HERA data
(Oxford University Press, 2020)The key challenge in the observation of the redshifted 21-cm signal from cosmic reionization is its separation from the much brighter foreground emission. Such separation relies on the different spectral properties of the ...
