Kavli Affiliate: Andrey V. Kravtsov | First 5 Authors: , , , , | Summary: Observations of the $gamma$-ray emission around star clusters, isolated supernova remnants, and pulsar wind nebulae indicate that the cosmic-ray (CR) diffusion coefficient near acceleration sites can be suppressed by a large factor compared to the Galaxy average. We explore the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Susan Clark | First 5 Authors: Ian Lowe, Gabriele Coppi, Peter A. R. Ade, Peter C. Ashton, Jason E. Austermann | Summary: The BLAST Observatory is a proposed superpressure balloon-borne polarimeter designed for a future ultra-long duration balloon campaign from Wanaka, New Zealand. To maximize scientific output while staying within the stringent superpressure […]
Kavli Affiliate: Dale Li | First 5 Authors: Ian Lowe, Peter A. R. Ade, Peter C. Ashton, Jason E. Austermann, Gabriele Coppi | Summary: The Next Generation Balloon-borne Large Aperture Submillimeter Telescope (BLAST-TNG) is a submillimeter polarimeter designed to map interstellar dust and galactic foregrounds at 250, 350, and 500 microns during a 24-day Antarctic […]
Kavli Affiliate: Marshall W. Bautz | First 5 Authors: Catherine E. Grant, Eric D. Miller, Marshall W. Bautz, Tanja Eraerds, Silvano Molendi | Summary: One of the science goals of the Wide Field Imager (WFI) on ESA’s Athena X-ray observatory is to map hot gas structures in the universe, such as clusters and groups of […]
Kavli Affiliate: Herman L. Marshall | First 5 Authors: Herman L. Marshall, , , , | Summary: An optimal estimate for Stokes parameters is derived for the situation in X-ray astronomy where the instrument has a modulation factor that varies significantly with energy but the signals are very weak or mildly polarized. For such sources, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Taizan Watari | First 5 Authors: Keita Kanno, Taizan Watari, , , | Summary: It is an important question in string compactification whether complex structure moduli stabilization inevitably ends up with a vacuum expectation value of the superpotential < W > of the order of the Planck scale cubed. Any thoughts on volume […]
Kavli Affiliate: Dale Li | First 5 Authors: Gabriele Coppi, Peter A. R. Ade, Peter C. Ashton, Jason E. Austermann, Erin G. Cox | Summary: The Next Generation Balloon-Borne Large Aperture Submillimeter Telescope (BLAST-TNG) was a unique instrument for characterizing the polarized submillimeter sky at high-angular resolution. BLAST-TNG flew from the Long Duration Balloon Facility […]
Kavli Affiliate: Daniel Needleman | First 5 Authors: Won-Dong Jang, Donglai Wei, Xingxuan Zhang, Brian Leahy, Helen Yang | Summary: Blastomere instance segmentation is important for analyzing embryos’ abnormality. To measure the accurate shapes and sizes of blastomeres, their amodal segmentation is necessary. Amodal instance segmentation aims to recover the complete silhouette of an object […]
