The missing link in gravitational-wave astronomy: A summary of discoveries waiting in the decihertz range

Posted by klaurent Peking

Kavli Affiliate: Xian Chen | First 5 Authors: Manuel Arca Sedda, Christopher P L Berry, Karan Jani, Pau Amaro-Seoane, Pierre Auclair | Summary: Since 2015 the gravitational-wave observations of LIGO and Virgo have transformed our understanding of compact-object binaries. In the years to come, ground-based gravitational-wave observatories such as LIGO, Virgo, and their successors will […]

MarioNette: Self-Supervised Sprite Learning

Posted by klaurent UCSB

Kavli Affiliate: Matthew Fisher | First 5 Authors: Dmitriy Smirnov, Michael Gharbi, Matthew Fisher, Vitor Guizilini, Alexei A. Efros | Summary: Artists and video game designers often construct 2D animations using libraries of sprites — textured patches of objects and characters. We propose a deep learning approach that decomposes sprite-based video animations into a disentangled […]

Kavli Affiliate: Huawei Zhang | First 5 Authors: Yang Huang, Timothy C. Beers, Christian Wolf, Young Sun Lee, Christopher A. Onken | Summary: Accurate determinations of stellar parameters and distances for large complete samples of stars are keys for conducting detailed studies of the formation and evolution of our Galaxy. Here we present stellar atmospheric […]
