Biaxial Strain Measurements of Jc on a (RE)BCO Coated Conductor (2018)
Journal Article
Greenwood, J. R., Surrey, E., & Hampshire, D. P. (2018). Biaxial Strain Measurements of Jc on a (RE)BCO Coated Conductor. IEEE Transactions on Applied Superconductivity, 28(4), Article 8400705. https://doi.org/10.1109/tasc.2018.2793282

For several years it has been possible to measure the uniaxial strain dependence of the critical current density JC (ε) of (RE)BCO coated conductors [(RE)BCO tapes] and a parabolic strain dependence of JC (ε) has been observed. To improve our underst... Read More about Biaxial Strain Measurements of Jc on a (RE)BCO Coated Conductor.

xGASS: total cold gas scaling relations and molecular-to-atomic gas ratios of galaxies in the local Universe (2018)
Journal Article
Catinella, B., Saintonge, A., Janowiecki, S., Cortese, L., Davé, R., Lemonias, J. J., …Wang, J. (2018). xGASS: total cold gas scaling relations and molecular-to-atomic gas ratios of galaxies in the local Universe. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 476(1), 875-895. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/sty089

We present the extended GALEX Arecibo SDSS Survey (xGASS), a gas fraction-limited census of the atomic hydrogen (H I) gas content of 1179 galaxies selected only by stellar mass (M⋆ = 109–1011.5 M⊙) and redshift (0.01 < z < 0.05). This includes new Ar... Read More about xGASS: total cold gas scaling relations and molecular-to-atomic gas ratios of galaxies in the local Universe.

To the Galactic Virial Radius with Hyper Suprime-Cam (2018)
Journal Article
Deason, A. J., Belokurov, V., & Koposov, S. E. (2018). To the Galactic Virial Radius with Hyper Suprime-Cam. Astrophysical Journal, 852(2), Article 118. https://doi.org/10.3847/1538-4357/aa9d19

We exploit the exquisite, deep Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC) imaging data to probe the Galactic halo out to 200 kpc. Using the ~100 square degree, multiband photometry of the first HSC Wide survey data release, we identify blue horizontal branch (BHB) star...

Luminous and Obscured Quasars and Their Host Galaxies (2018)
Journal Article
Del Moro, A., Alexander, D. M., Bauer, F. E., Daddi, E., Kocevski, D. D., Stanley, F., & McIntosh, D. H. (2018). Luminous and Obscured Quasars and Their Host Galaxies. Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 4, Article 67. https://doi.org/10.3389/fspas.2017.00067

The most heavily-obscured, luminous quasars might represent a specific phase of the evolution of the actively accreting supermassive black holes and their host galaxies, possibly related to mergers. We investigated a sample of the most luminous quasa... Read More about Luminous and Obscured Quasars and Their Host Galaxies.

What if LIGO's gravitational wave detections are strongly lensed by massive galaxy clusters? (2018)
Journal Article
Smith, G., Jauzac, M., Veitch, J., Farr, W., Massey, R., & Richard, J. (2018). What if LIGO's gravitational wave detections are strongly lensed by massive galaxy clusters?. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 475(3), 3823-3828. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/sty031

Motivated by the preponderance of so-called ‘heavy black holes’ in the binary black hole (BBH) gravitational wave (GW) detections to date, and the role that gravitational lensing continues to play in discovering new galaxy populations, we explore the...

Do satellite galaxies trace matter in galaxy clusters? (2018)
Journal Article
Wang, C., Li, R., Gao, L., Shan, H., Kneib, J., Wang, W., …Erben, T. (2018). Do satellite galaxies trace matter in galaxy clusters?. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 475(3), 4020-4026. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/sty073

The spatial distribution of satellite galaxies encodes rich information of the structure and assembly history of galaxy clusters. In this paper, we select a red-sequence Matched-filter Probabilistic Percolation cluster sample in SDSS Stripe 82 region... Read More about Do satellite galaxies trace matter in galaxy clusters?.

Double-charming Higgs boson identification using machine-learning assisted jet shapes (2018)
Journal Article
Lenz, A., Spannowsky, M., & Tetlalmatzi-Xolocotzi, G. (2018). Double-charming Higgs boson identification using machine-learning assisted jet shapes. Physical Review D, 97(1), Article 016001. https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevd.97.016001

We study the possibility of identifying a boosted resonance that decays into a charm pair against different sources of background using QCD event shapes, which are promoted to jet shapes. Using a set of jet shapes as input to a boosted decision tree,... Read More about Double-charming Higgs boson identification using machine-learning assisted jet shapes.

Increasing the peak intensity to which high power laser pulses are focused can open up new regimes of laser-plasma interactions, resulting in the acceleration of ions to higher energies and more efficient generation of energetic photons. Low f-number... Read More about Development of Focusing Plasma Mirrors for Ultraintense Laser-Driven Particle and Radiation Sources.
