End-to-End Partially Observable Visual Navigation in a Diverse Environment

Kavli Affiliate: Wei Gao | First 5 Authors: Bo Ai, Wei Gao, Vinay, David Hsu, | Summary: How can a robot navigate successfully in a rich and diverse environment, indoors or outdoors, along an office corridor or a trail in the park, on the flat ground, the staircase, or the elevator, etc.? To this end, […]

Imaging reconfigurable molecular concentration on a graphene field-effect transistor

Kavli Affiliate: Michael F. Crommie | First 5 Authors: Franklin Liou, Hsin-Zon Tsai, Andrew S. Aikawa, Kyler C. Natividad, Eric Tang | Summary: The spatial arrangement of adsorbates deposited onto a clean surface in vacuum typically cannot be reversibly tuned. Here we use scanning tunneling microscopy to demonstrate that molecules deposited onto graphene field-effect transistors […]

Deep exploration of the planets HR 8799 b, c, and d with moderate resolution spectroscopy

Kavli Affiliate: Bruce Macintosh | First 5 Authors: Jean-Baptiste Ruffio, Quinn M. Konopacky, Travis Barman, Bruce Macintosh, Kielan K. Wilcomb | Summary: The four directly imaged planets orbiting the star HR 8799 are an ideal laboratory to probe atmospheric physics and formation models. We present more than a decade’s worth of Keck/OSIRIS observations of these […]

Further evidence of shocks in the first-overtone RR Lyrae pulsators: first detection of shock-triggered magnesium emissions

Kavli Affiliate: Huawei Zhang | First 5 Authors: Xiao-Wei Duan, Weijia Sun, Xiaodian Chen, Licai Deng, Huawei Zhang | Summary: The behavior of the shock wave in the atmosphere of the non-fundamental mode RR Lyrae pulsator remains a mystery. In this work, we firstly report a blueshifted Mg triplet emission in continuous spectroscopic observations for […]

Investigating the Nature of the Luminous Ambiguous Nuclear Transient ASASSN-17jz

Kavli Affiliate: Subo Dong | First 5 Authors: Thomas W. -S. Holoien, Jack M. M. Neustadt, Patrick J. Vallely, Katie Auchettl, Jason T. Hinkle | Summary: We present observations of the extremely luminous but ambiguous nuclear transient (ANT) ASASSN-17jz, spanning roughly 1200 days of the object’s evolution. ASASSN-17jz was discovered by the All-Sky Automated Survey […]

Dark matter transient annihilations in the early Universe

Kavli Affiliate: Jia Liu | First 5 Authors: Katsuya Hashino, Jia Liu, Xiao-Ping Wang, Ke-Pan Xie, | Summary: The cosmological evolution can modify the dark matter (DM) properties in the early Universe to be vastly different from the properties today. Therefore, the relation between the relic abundance and the DM constraints today needs to be […]

Categorical wall-crossing formula for Donaldson-Thomas theory on the resolved conifold

Kavli Affiliate: Yukinobu Toda | First 5 Authors: Yukinobu Toda, , , , | Summary: We prove wall-crossing formula for categorical Donaldson-Thomas invariants on the resolved conifold, which categorifies Nagao-Nakajima wall-crossing formula for numerical DT invariants on it. The categorified Hall products are used to describe the wall-crossing formula as semiorthogonal decompositions. A successive application […]

Self-Similarity of $k$-Nearest Neighbor Distributions in Scale-Free Simulations

Kavli Affiliate: Tom Abel | First 5 Authors: Lehman H. Garrison, Tom Abel, Daniel J. Eisenstein, , | Summary: We use the $k$-nearest neighbor probability distribution function ($k$NN-PDF, Banerjee & Abel 2021) to assess convergence in a scale-free $N$-body simulation. Compared to our previous two-point analysis, the $k$NN-PDF allows us to quantify our results in […]

Transient Performance Analysis of the $ell_1$-RLS

Kavli Affiliate: Wei Gao | First 5 Authors: Wei Gao, Jie Chen, Cédric Richard, Wentao Shi, Qunfei Zhang | Summary: The recursive least-squares algorithm with $ell_1$-norm regularization ($ell_1$-RLS) exhibits excellent performance in terms of convergence rate and steady-state error in identification of sparse systems. Nevertheless few works have studied its stochastic behavior, in particular its […]
