THE IMPACT OF ENVIRONMENT ON LATE TIME EVOLUTION OF THE STELLAR MASS -HALO MASS RELATIONThe Stellar Mass-Halo Mass (SMHM) relation provides insight into the galaxy-dark matter halo connection. In Golden-Marx & Miller (2018), we incorporate the magnitude gap, the difference in brightness between the BCG and 4th brightest cluster member within 0.5 R200, into the cluster SMHM relation. We observe that at fixed halo ...

Concordance cosmology and beyond I will discuss the relevance of statistical tools aimed at testing the concordance of cosmological observations and how they can be used as the most model independent test for the standard cosmological model. These statistical tests are a powerful way of assessing whether a specific model explains the observed measurements ...
Ultrafast Manipulation of Topological Phases in WTe2 NanolayersManipulation of topological invariants in quantum materials plays a key role in topological switching applications and can stabilize emergent topological phases in otherwise trivial materials. Lattice strain has been proposed as one means of tuning these topological invariants. However, conventional means of applying strain are not extendable to controllable time-varying ...
The Garcia lab studies one of nature’s abiding mysteries: how does a single cell develop into a multicellular organism? As the organism grows through a series of cell divisions, different cells adopt unique fates to become familiar cell types such as those found in muscle, liver, and our brains. Cells ...

Are New Vehicle Emissions Standards Effective and Efficient?This paper demonstrates the historic effectiveness of new vehicle emissions standards at reducing local air pollution from personal automobiles, but it also argues that the efficiency of such policies is greatly reduced by the failure to use complimentary policies that accelerate fleet turnover. The project combines new vehicle certification tests ...

The Hunt for Planet NineScientists have proposed that there is a giant planet lurking beyond Pluto, a Neptune-size world orbiting the sun about 20 times the distance of Neptune’s orbit, but so massive that it may have tipped the entire solar system a few degrees sideways. A race is on to discover this as ...
