18:18 <galois> [arXiv] “CHIMERA Occultation Constraints on the Abundance of Kilometer-scale Kuiper Belt Objects” Qicheng Zhang, Gregg W. Hallinan, Navtej S. Saini et al. — «Occultations provide indirect sensitivity to the number density of small Kuiper Belt objects (KBOs) too faint to directly detect telescopically. We present results from the Caltech HI-speed Multicolor camERA (CHIMERA) survey with the Palomar Hale Telescope, which monitored…»

Maity — «Semi-numerical models of reionization typically involve a large number of unknown parameters whose values are constrained by comparing with observations. Increasingly often, exploring this parameter space using semi-numerical simulations can become computationally intensive,…»
