Scatter in the star formation rate-halo mass relation: secondary bias and its impact on line-intensity mapping
We use the IllustrisTNG cosmological hydrodynamical simulations to study the impact of secondary bias -- specifically, the correlation between star formation rate (SFR) and halo bias at fixed halo mass -- on the line-intensity mapping (LIM) power spectrum. In LIM, the galaxy contributions are flux-weighted, and for many emission lines (e.g., H$α$), flux scales with SFR. We show that the (ensemble-averaged) large-scale two-halo term of the power spectrum depends only on the mean luminosity-halo…

Joni Ernst, at her town hall last night.
When the crowd said people will die due to Medicaid and SNAP cuts,
she said:
"well we all are going to die."

Hello – my name is Nathan Sage, and I am the Democrat running for Senate against Republican Joni Ernst here in Iowa.
I was raised in a trailer park. Growing up, that got me called a lot of names. After enough times, it’s easy to start to believe it yourself.
We were poor. I never imagined a better life until a military recruiter said that I could maybe one day graduate college.
After I got home from Iraq, I worked nights to support my family while the GI Bill paid for colle…

Give now to help Nathan Sage defeat Joni Ernst and take back the Senate for Democrats!

"My feathered friend, your cage
must drive you to rage sometimes…
To think that you have aged
staring at nothing but beige walls
She says "you know, our lives
aren't so different as you would believe.
All are in prisons of some kind,
tethered by the stories that we weave."
