Analytical Engines With Context-Rich Processing: Towards Efficient Next-Generation Analytics

Anastasia Ailamaki, Viktor Sanca

As modern data pipelines continue to collect, produce, and store a variety of data formats, extracting and combining value from traditional and context-rich sources such as strings, text, video, audio, and logs becomes a manual process where such formats a ...

Next generation modeling techniques for strong gravitational lensing and measuring the Hubble constant

Aymeric Alexandre Galan

For many years, observations of the Universe suggest a series problems with our theoretical models, particularly its dark energy and dark matter components. Fortunately, the Universe also provides us with a tool to solve these problems, called strong gravi ...

Euclid preparation: XI. Mean redshift determination from galaxy redshift probabilities for cosmic shear tomography

Gianluca Castignani, Yi Wang, Richard Massey, Fabio Finelli

The analysis of weak gravitational lensing in wide-field imaging surveys is considered to be a major cosmological probe of dark energy. Our capacity to constrain the dark energy equation of state relies on an accurate knowledge of the galaxy mean redshift ...

The clustering of the SDSS-IV extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey quasar sample: testing observational systematics on the Baryon Acoustic Oscillation measurement

Cheng Zhao

Baryon Acoustic Oscillations (BAO) are considered to be a very robust standard ruler against various systematics. This premise has been tested against observational systematics, but not to the level required for the next generation of galaxy surveys such a ...

New constraints on the mass of fermionic dark matter from dwarf spheroidal galaxies

Alexey Boyarsky, Diego Blas Temino, Kyrylo Bondarenko

Dwarf spheroidal galaxies are excellent systems to probe the nature of fermionic dark matter due to their high observed dark matter phase-space density. In this work, we review, revise, and improve upon previous phase-space considerations to obtain lower b ...

Probing sub-eV Dark Matter decays with PTOLEMY

Alexey Boyarsky, Kyrylo Bondarenko

When the Dark Matter mass is below the eV-scale, its cosmological occupation number exceeds the ones of photons from the cosmic microwave background as well as of relic neutrinos. If such Dark Matter decays to pairs of neutrinos, it implies that experiment ...
