Abstract: A basic tenet of quantum theory is
that all elementary particles are either bosons or fermions.
Ensembles of bosons or fermions behave differently due to
differences in their underlying quantum statistics. Starting in the
late 1970’s it...
Characterizing the mass distribution of compact objects is
essential for understanding the late-stage evolution of massive
stars. The majority of black hole mass measurements come from X-ray
binaries and gravitational wave mergers, but the majority...
Recent horizon-scale images of Messier 87* and Sagittarius A*
have been used to demonstrate that their spacetimes are
well-described by the Kerr metric. The latter is a solution to the
vacuum Einstein equations of general relativity, and is used
to...
We are living exciting times: we are now able to probe the most
violent events of the Universe with diverse messengers (cosmic
rays, neutrinos, photons and gravitational waves). One challenge to
complete the multi-messenger picture resides in the...
Weak lensing is a powerful tool to extract information from
large-scale structures to study the nature of dark matter and dark
energy. Two-point correlation function (2PCF) of weak lensing is
one of the simplest summary statistics but can extract...
