Kavli Affiliate: Yasunori Nomura | Summary:We study the redundancies in the global spacetime description of the eternally inflating multiverse using the quantum extremal surface prescription. We argue that a sufficiently large spatial region in a bubble universe has an entanglement island surrounding it. Consequently, the semiclassical physics of the multiverse, which is all we need […]

Kavli Affiliate: Robert A. Simcoe | First 5 Authors: Fakhri S. Zahedy, Hsiao-Wen Chen, Thomas M. Cooper, Erin T. Boettcher, Sean D. Johnson | Summary: (Abridged) We present a systematic investigation of physical conditions and elemental abundances in four optically thick Lyman-limit systems (LLSs) at $z=0.36-0.6$ discovered within the Cosmic Ultraviolet Baryon Survey (CUBS). CUBS […]
Kavli Affiliate: Robert A. Simcoe | First 5 Authors: Anna-Christina Eilers, Joseph F. Hennawi, Frederick B. Davies, Robert A. Simcoe, | Summary: The extents of proximity zones of high-redshift quasars enable constraints on the timescales of quasar activity, which are fundamental for understanding the growth of the supermassive black holes (SMBHs) that power the quasars’ […]
Kavli Affiliate: Angela V. Olinto | First 5 Authors: Claire Guépin, Roberto Aloisio, Luis A. Anchordoqui, Austin Cummings, John F. Krizmanic | Summary: High to ultrahigh energy neutrino detectors can uniquely probe the properties of dark matter $chi$ by searching for the secondary products produced through annihilation and/or decay processes. We evaluate the sensitivities to […]
Kavli Affiliate: Kiyoshi W. Masui | First 5 Authors: Ziggy Pleunis, Deborah C. Good, Victoria M. Kaspi, Ryan Mckinven, Scott M. Ransom | Summary: We present a synthesis of fast radio burst (FRB) morphology (the change in flux as a function of time and frequency) as detected in the 400-800 MHz octave by the FRB […]
Kavli Affiliate: Kiyoshi W. Masui | First 5 Authors: Masoud Rafiei-Ravandi, Kendrick M. Smith, Dongzi Li, Kiyoshi W. Masui, Alexander Josephy | Summary: The CHIME/FRB Project has recently released its first catalog of fast radio bursts (FRBs), containing 492 unique sources. We present results from angular cross-correlations of CHIME/FRB sources with galaxy catalogs. We find […]
Kavli Affiliate: Kiyoshi W. Masui | First 5 Authors: The CHIME/FRB Collaboration, :, Mandana Amiri, Bridget C. Andersen, Kevin Bandura | Summary: We present a catalog of 536 fast radio bursts (FRBs) detected by the Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment Fast Radio Burst (CHIME/FRB) Project between 400 and 800 MHz from 2018 July 25 to […]
Kavli Affiliate: Yi Zhou | First 5 Authors: Yi Zhou, Ao Huang, Satoshi Hattori, , | Summary: In meta-analysis of diagnostic test accuracy, summary receiver operating characteristic (SROC) is a recommended method to summarize the discriminant capacity of a diagnostic test in the presence of study-specific cutoff values and the area under the SROC (SAUC) […]
Kavli Affiliate: Lihong Wang | First 5 Authors: Qianren Mao, Xi Li, Bang Liu, Shu Guo, Peng Hao | Summary: Hashtag generation aims to generate short and informal topical tags from a microblog post, in which tokens or phrases form the hashtags. These tokens or phrases may originate from primary fragmental textual pieces (e.g., segments) […]
