Alex Kim (LBNL)”Opportunities for Peculiar Velocity Surveys Using DESI, ZTF-II, and the Vera C. Rubin Observatory”

Zoom Talk 50A-5132, Berkeley, ca

ABSTRACT: The motions of galaxies on top of the Hubble expansion, peculiar velocities, are a probe of clustering and the growth of structure in the Universe.  For distance indicators, peculiar velocities manifest themselves as residuals on the Hubble diagram.  Ongoing …

Daniel Carney (U. Maryland) “Fundamental Physics at the Quantum Limits of Measurement

Zoom Talk 50A-5132, Berkeley, ca

Abstract: 40 years ago, Caves, Thorne, and their collaborators asked the question: what are the fundamental quantum limits on the measurement of a small position displacement? The answers to these conceptual questions led to the first direct detection of a …

Taylor Hoyt (University of Chicago) “Using Astrophysical Distance Indicators to Test Standard Cosmology”

Zoom Talk 50A-5132, Berkeley, ca

Abstract: Measurements of the universe's present-day expansion rate, or the Hubble constant (H0), that use a Cepheid variable star calibration of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) are in >4σ disagreement with values predicted by the standard, Lambda cold dark matter …
