Dynamical evolution of cosmic supermassive binary black holes and their gravitational wave radiation

Posted by klaurent Peking

Kavli Affiliate: Qingjuan Yu | Summary:We investigate the evolution of supermassive binary black holes (BBHs) in galaxies with realistic property distributions and the gravitational-wave (GW) radiation from the cosmic population of these BBHs. We incorporate a comprehensive treatment of the dynamical interactions of the BBHs with their environments by including the effects of galaxy triaxial […]

Detection of Cosmic Structures using the Bispectrum Phase. II. First Results from Application to Cosmic Reionization Using the Hydrogen Epoch of Reionization Array

Posted by klaurent MIT

Kavli Affiliate: Jacqueline N. Hewitt | First 5 Authors: Nithyanandan Thyagarajan, Chris L. Carilli, Bojan Nikolic, James Kent, Andrei Mesinger | Summary: Characterizing the epoch of reionization (EoR) at $zgtrsim 6$ via the redshifted 21 cm line of neutral Hydrogen (HI) is critical to modern astrophysics and cosmology, and thus a key science goal of […]

Holistic Parameteric Reconstruction of Building Models from Point Clouds

Posted by klaurent Cornell

Kavli Affiliate: Jie Shan | First 5 Authors: Zhixin Li, Zhixin Li, , , | Summary: Building models are conventionally reconstructed by building roof points planar segmentation and then using a topology graph to group the planes together. Roof edges and vertices are then mathematically represented by intersecting segmented planes. Technically, such solution is based […]

Global inducing point variational posteriors for Bayesian neural networks and deep Gaussian processes

Posted by klaurent Cornell

Kavli Affiliate: Christopher Ober| First 5 Authors: Sebastian W. Ober, Sebastian W. Ober, , , | Summary:We consider the optimal approximate posterior over the top-layer weights in a Bayesian neural network for regression, and show that it exhibits strong dependencies on the lower-layer weights. We adapt this result to develop a correlated approximate posterior over […]

Orbital Modulation of Gamma Rays from PSR~J2339$-$0533

Posted by klaurent Stanford

Kavli Affiliate: Roger W. Romani | First 5 Authors: Hongjun An, Roger W. Romani, Matthew Kerr, , | Summary: We report on orbital modulation of the 100-600 MeV gamma-ray emission of the $P_{rm B}=4.6$ hr millisecond pulsar binary PSR J2339$-$0533 using 11 yr of Fermi Large Area Telescope data. The modulation has high significance (chance […]

Dynamics of an inverted cantilever plate at moderate angle of attack

Posted by Caltech

Kavli Affiliate: Morteza Gharib | First 5 Authors: Cecilia Huertas-Cerdeira, Andres Goza, John E. Sader, Tim Colonius, Morteza Gharib | Summary: The dynamics of a cantilever plate clamped at its trailing edge and placed at a moderate angle ($alpha leq 30^{circ}$) to a uniform flow are investigated experimentally and numerically, and a large experimental data […]

TESS Data for Asteroseismology: Timing verification

Posted by klaurent MIT

Kavli Affiliate: Edward Morgan | Summary:The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) is NASA’s latest space telescope dedicated to the discovery of transiting exoplanets around nearby stars. Besides the main goal of the mission, asteroseismology is an important secondary goal and very relevant for the high-quality time series that TESS will make during its two year […]

Muons in supernovae: implications for the axion-muon coupling

Posted by dbos Stanford

Kavli Affiliate: Peter W. Graham | First 5 Authors: Robert Bollig, William DeRocco, Peter W. Graham, Hans-Thomas Janka, | Summary: The high temperature and electron degeneracy attained during a supernova allow for the formation of a large muon abundance within the core of the resulting proto-neutron star. If new pseudoscalar degrees of freedom have large […]
