Weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) have long reigned as one of the leading classes of dark matter candidates. The observed dark matter abundance can be naturally obtained by freezeout of weak-scale dark matter annihilations in the early Universe. This "thermal WIMP" scenario makes direct predictions for the total annihilation cross section that can be tested in present-day experiments. While the dark matter mass constraint can be as high as m<SUB>χ</SUB>≳100 GeV for particular annihilation channels, the constraint on the total cross section has not been determined. We construct the first model-independent limit on the WIMP total annihilation cross section, showing that allowed combinations of the annihilation-channel branching ratios considerably weaken the sensitivity. For thermal WIMPs with s -wave 2 →2 annihilation to visible final states, we find the dark matter mass is only known to be m<SUB>χ</SUB>≳20 GeV . This is the strongest largely model-independent lower limit on the mass of thermal-relic WIMPs; together with the upper limit on the mass from the unitarity bound (m<SUB>χ</SUB>≲100 TeV ), it defines what we call the "WIMP window." To probe the remaining mass range, we outline ways forward. | 9 |

Normal-mode oscillation frequencies computed from stellar models differ from those that would be measured from stars with identical interior structures because of modeling errors in the near-surface layers. These frequency differences are referred to as the asteroseismic "surface term." The vast majority of solar-like oscillators that have been observed, and that are expected to be observed in the near future, are evolved stars that exhibit mixed modes. For these evolved stars, the inference of stellar properties from these mode frequencies has been shown to depend on how this surface term is corrected for. We show that existing parameterizations of the surface term account for mode mixing only to first order in perturbation theory, if at all, and therefore may not be adequate for evolved stars. Moreover, existing nonparametric treatments of the surface term do not account for mode mixing. We derive both a first-order construction and a more general approach for one particular class of nonparametric methods. We illustrate the limits of first-order approximations from both analytic considerations and using numerical injection-recovery tests on stellar models. First-order corrections for the surface term are strictly only applicable where the size of the surface term is much smaller than both the coupling strength between the mixed p and g modes, as well as the local g-mode spacing. Our more general matrix construction may be applied to evolved stars, where perturbation theory cannot be relied upon. | 9 |

Assembly bias describes the finding that the clustering of dark matter haloes depends on halo formation time at fixed halo mass. In this paper, we analyse the influence of assembly bias on galaxy clustering using both semi-analytic galaxy formation models (SAMs) and observational data. At fixed stellar mass, SAMs predict that the clustering of central galaxies depends on the specific star formation rate (sSFR), with more passive galaxies having a higher clustering amplitude. We find similar trends using the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) group catalogues, and verify that these are not affected by possible biases due to the group finding algorithm. Low-mass central galaxies reside in narrow bins of halo mass, so the observed trends of higher clustering amplitude for galaxies with lower sSFR is not driven by variations of the parent halo mass. We argue that the clustering dependence on sSFR represent a direct detection of assembly bias. In addition, contrary to what expected based on clustering of dark matter haloes, we find that low-mass central galaxies in SAMs with larger host halo mass have a lower clustering amplitude than their counter-parts residing in lower mass haloes. This results from the fact that, at fixed stellar mass, assembly bias has a stronger influence on clustering than the dependence on the parent halo mass. | 9 |

We present exoplanets as new targets to discover dark matter (DM). Throughout the Milky Way, DM can scatter, become captured, deposit annihilation energy, and increase the heat flow within exoplanets. We estimate upcoming infrared telescope sensitivity to this scenario, finding actionable discovery or exclusion searches. We find that DM with masses above about an MeV can be probed with exoplanets, with DM-proton and DM-electron scattering cross sections down to about 10<SUP>-37</SUP> cm<SUP>2</SUP>, stronger than existing limits by up to six orders of magnitude. Supporting evidence of a DM origin can be identified through DM-induced exoplanet heating correlated with galactic position, and hence DM density. This provides new motivation to measure the temperature of the billions of brown dwarfs, rogue planets, and gas giants peppered throughout our Galaxy. | 9 |

The density field in the outskirts of dark matter halos is discontinuous as a result of a caustic formed by matter at its first apocenter after infall. In this paper, we present an algorithm to identify the “splashback shell” formed by these apocenters in individual simulated halos using only a single snapshot of the density field. We implement this algorithm in the code Shellfish (SHELL Finding In Spheroidal Halos) and demonstrate that the code identifies splashback shells correctly and measures their properties with an accuracy of < 5 % for halos with more than 50,000 particles and mass accretion rates of {{{Γ }}}<SUB>{DK</SUB>14}> 0.5. Using Shellfish, we present the first estimates for several basic properties of individual splashback shells, such as radius, {R}<SUB>{sp</SUB>}, mass, and overdensity, and provide fits to the distribution of these quantities as functions of {{{Γ }}}<SUB>{DK</SUB>14}, {ν }<SUB>200{{m</SUB>}}, and z. We confirm previous findings that {R}<SUB>{sp</SUB>} decreases with increasing {{{Γ }}}<SUB>{DK</SUB>14}, but we show that, independent of accretion rate, it also decreases with increasing {ν }<SUB>200{{m</SUB>}}. We also study the 3D structures of these shells and find that they generally have non-ellipsoidal oval shapes. We find that splashback radii estimated by Shellfish are 20%-30% larger than those estimated in previous studies from stacked density profiles at high accretion rates. We demonstrate that the latter are biased low owing to the contribution of high-mass subhalos to these profiles, and we show that using the median instead of mean density in each radial bin mitigates the effect of substructure on density profiles and removes the bias. | 9 |

Radio detection at high time-frequency resolutions is a powerful means of remotely studying electron acceleration processes. Radio bursts have characteristics (polarization, drift, periodicity) making them easier to detect than slowly variable emissions. They are not uncommon in solar system planetary magnetospheres, the powerful Jovian "short bursts (S-bursts)" induced by the Io-Jupiter interaction being especially well-documented. Here we present a detection method of drifting radio bursts in terabytes of high resolution time-frequency data, applied to one month of ground-based Jupiter observations. Beyond the expected Io-Jupiter S-bursts, we find decameter S-bursts related to the Ganymede-Jupiter interaction and the main Jovian aurora, revealing ubiquitous Alfvénic electron acceleration in Jupiter's high-latitude regions. Our observations show accelerated electron energies are distributed in two populations, kilo-electron-Volts and hundreds of electron-Volts. This detection technique may help characterizing inaccessible astrophysical sources such as exoplanets. | 9 |

The SUperluminous Supernova Host galaxIES survey aims to provide strong new constraints on the progenitors of superluminous supernovae (SLSNe) by understanding the relationship to their host galaxies. We present the photometric properties of 53 H-poor and 16 H-rich SLSN host galaxies out to z ∼ 4. We model their spectral energy distributions to derive physical properties, which we compare with other galaxy populations. At low redshift, H-poor SLSNe are preferentially found in very blue, low-mass galaxies with high average specific star formation rates. As redshift increases, the host population follows the general evolution of star-forming galaxies towards more luminous galaxies. After accounting for secular evolution, we find evidence for differential evolution in galaxy mass, but not in the B band and the far-ultraviolet luminosity (3σ confidence). Most remarkable is the scarcity of hosts with stellar masses above 10<SUP>10</SUP> M<SUB>⊙</SUB> for both classes of SLSNe. In case of H-poor SLSNe, we attribute this to a stifled production efficiency above ∼0.4 solar metallicity. However, we argue that, in addition to low metallicity, a short-lived stellar population is also required to regulate the SLSN production. H-rich SLSNe are found in a very diverse population of star-forming galaxies. Still, the scarcity of massive hosts suggests a stifled production efficiency above ∼0.8 solar metallicity. The large dispersion of the H-rich SLSNe host properties is in stark contrast to those of gamma-ray burst, regular core-collapse SN, and H-poor SLSNe host galaxies. We propose that multiple progenitor channels give rise to this subclass. | 9 |

We present Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array observations at ≈100 GHz with 0.″05 (3 pc) resolution of the kiloparsec-scale jet seen in the nearby Seyfert galaxy NGC 1068, and we report the presence of parsec-scale blobs at the head of the jet. The combination of the detected radio flux (≈0.8 mJy), spectral index (≈0.5), and blob size (≈10 pc) suggests a strong magnetic field of B ≈ 240 μG. Such a strong magnetic field most likely implies magnetic field amplification by streaming cosmic rays. The estimated cosmic-ray power of the jet may exceed the limit set by the star formation activity in this galaxy. This result suggests that even modest-power jets can increase the galactic cosmic-ray content while propagating through the galactic bulge. | 9 |

We are on the verge of characterizing the atmospheres of terrestrial exoplanets in the habitable zones of M dwarf stars. Due to their large planet-to-star radius ratios and higher frequency of transits, terrestrial exoplanets orbiting M dwarf stars are favorable for transmission spectroscopy. In this work, we quantify the effect that water clouds have on the amplitude of water vapor transmission spectral features of terrestrial exoplanets orbiting M dwarf stars. To do so, we make synthetic transmission spectra from general circulation model (GCM) experiments of tidally locked planets. We improve upon previous work by considering how varying a broad range of planetary parameters affects transmission spectra. We find that clouds lead to a 10-100 times increase in the number of transits required to detect water features with the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) with varying rotation period, incident stellar flux, surface pressure, planetary radius, and surface gravity. We also find that there is a strong increase in the dayside cloud coverage in our GCM simulations with rotation periods ≳12 days for planets with Earth’s radius. This increase in cloud coverage leads to even stronger muting of spectral features for slowly rotating exoplanets orbiting M dwarf stars. We predict that it will be extremely challenging to detect water transmission features in the atmospheres of terrestrial exoplanets in the habitable zone of M dwarf stars with JWST. However, species that are well-mixed above the cloud deck (e.g., CO<SUB>2</SUB> and CH<SUB>4</SUB>) may still be detectable on these planets with JWST. | 9 |
We present a study of the chemistry toward 294 dense cores in 12 molecular clumps, using data obtained from the ALMA Survey of 70 μm dark High-mass clumps in Early Stages. We identified 97 protostellar cores and 197 prestellar core candidates, based on the detection of outflows and molecular transitions of high upper-energy levels (E <SUB> u </SUB>/k > 45 K). The detection rate of the N<SUB>2</SUB>D<SUP>+</SUP> emission toward the protostellar cores is 38%, which is higher than 9% for the prestellar cores, indicating that N<SUB>2</SUB>D<SUP>+</SUP> does not exclusively trace prestellar cores. The detection rates of the DCO<SUP>+</SUP> emission are 35% for the prestellar cores and 49% for the protostellar cores, which are higher than those for N<SUB>2</SUB>D<SUP>+</SUP>, implying that DCO<SUP>+</SUP> appears more frequently than N<SUB>2</SUB>D<SUP>+</SUP> in both prestellar and protostellar cores. Both the N<SUB>2</SUB>D<SUP>+</SUP> and DCO<SUP>+</SUP> abundances appear to decrease from the prestellar to the protostellar stage. The DCN, C<SUB>2</SUB>D, and <SUP>13</SUP>CS emission lines are rarely seen in the dense cores of early evolutionary phases. The detection rate of the H<SUB>2</SUB>CO emission toward dense cores is 52%, three times higher than that for CH<SUB>3</SUB>OH (17%). In addition, the H<SUB>2</SUB>CO detection rate, abundance, line intensities, and line widths increase with the core evolutionary status, suggesting that the H<SUB>2</SUB>CO line emission is sensitive to protostellar activity. | 9 |

We have determined the proper motions (PMs) of 12 dwarf galaxies in the Local Group (LG), ranging from the outer Milky Way (MW) halo to the edge of the LG. We used HST as the first and Gaia as the second epoch using the GaiaHub software. For Leo A and Sag DIG we also used multi-epoch HST measurements relative to background galaxies. Orbital histories derived using these PMs show that two-thirds of the galaxies in our sample are on first infall with $>$90\% certainty. The observed star formation histories (SFHs) of these first-infall dwarfs are generally consistent with infalling dwarfs in simulations. The remaining four galaxies have crossed the virial radius of either the MW or M31. When we compare their star formation (SF) and orbital histories we find tentative agreement between the inferred pattern of SF with the timing of dynamical events in the orbital histories. For Leo~I, SF activity rises as the dwarf crosses the MW's virial radius, culminating in a burst of SF shortly before pericenter ($\approx1.7$~Gyr ago). The SF then declines after pericenter, but with some smaller bursts before its recent quenching ($\approx0.3$~Gyr ago). This shows that even small dwarfs like Leo~I can hold on to gas reservoirs and avoid quenching for several Gyrs after falling into their host, which is longer than generally found in simulations. Leo~II, NGC~6822, and IC~10 are also qualitatively consistent with this SF pattern in relation to their orbit, but more tentatively due to larger uncertainties. | 9 |

We describe the survey design and science goals for One-hundred-deg<SUP>2</SUP> DECam Imaging in Narrowbands (ODIN), a NOIRLab survey using the Dark Energy Camera (DECam) to obtain deep (AB ∼ 25.7) narrowband images over an unprecedented area of sky. The three custom-built narrowband filters, N419, N501, and N673, have central wavelengths of 419, 501, and 673 nm and respective FWHM of 7.5, 7.6, and 10.0 nm, corresponding to Lyα at z = 2.4, 3.1, and 4.5 and cosmic times of 2.8, 2.1, and 1.4 Gyr, respectively. When combined with even deeper, public broadband data from the Hyper Suprime-Cam, DECam, and in the future, the Legacy Survey of Space and Time, the ODIN narrowband images will enable the selection of over 100,000 Lyα-emitting (LAE) galaxies at these epochs. ODIN-selected LAEs will identify protoclusters as galaxy overdensities, and the deep narrowband images enable detection of highly extended Lyα blobs (LABs). Primary science goals include measuring the clustering strength and dark matter halo connection of LAEs, LABs, and protoclusters, and their respective relationship to filaments in the cosmic web. The three epochs allow for the redshift evolution of these properties to be determined during the period known as Cosmic Noon, where star formation was at its peak. The narrowband filter wavelengths are designed to enable interloper rejection and further scientific studies by revealing [O II] and [O III] at z = 0.34, Lyα and He II 1640 at z = 3.1, and Lyman continuum plus Lyα at z = 4.5. Ancillary science includes similar studies of the lower-redshift emission-line galaxy samples and investigations of nearby star-forming galaxies resolved into numerous [O III] and [S II] emitting regions. | 9 |
