Kavli Affiliate: Feng Wang | First 5 Authors: Lue Fan, Ziqi Pang, Tianyuan Zhang, Yu-Xiong Wang, Hang Zhao | Summary: In LiDAR-based 3D object detection for autonomous driving, the ratio of the object size to input scene size is significantly smaller compared to 2D detection cases. Overlooking this difference, many 3D detectors directly follow the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Kohei Inayoshi | First 5 Authors: Daisuke Toyouchi, Kohei Inayoshi, Miho N. Ishigaki, Nozomu Tominaga, | Summary: Recent observations of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) have shown a high Fe~II/Mg~II line-flux ratio in their broad-line regions, nearly independent of redshift up to $z gtrsim 6$. The high flux ratio requires rapid production of iron […]
Kavli Affiliate: Katrin Heitmann | First 5 Authors: Xiaofeng Dong, Nesar Ramachandra, Salman Habib, Katrin Heitmann, Michael Buehlmann | Summary: The potential of deep learning based image-to-image translations has recently drawn a lot of attention; one intriguing possibility is that of generating cosmological predictions with a drastic reduction in computational cost. Such an effort requires […]
Kavli Affiliate: L. Mahadevan | First 5 Authors: Suraj Shankar, Vidya Raju, L. Mahadevan, , | Summary: Understanding the complex patterns in space-time exhibited by active systems has been the subject of much interest in recent times. Complementing this forward problem is the inverse problem of controlling active matter. Here we use optimal control theory […]
Kavli Affiliate: Sunil Golwala | First 5 Authors: Shibo Shu, Andrew Beyer, Peter K. Day, Fabien Defrance, Jack Sayers | Summary: We present a multi-chroic kinetic inductance detector (KID) pixel design integrated with a broadband hierarchical phased-array antenna. Each low-frequency pixel consists of four high-frequency pixels. Four passbands are designed from 125 to 365 GHz […]
Kavli Affiliate: James J. Bock | First 5 Authors: Kohji Takimoto, Toshiaki Arai, Shuji Matsuura, James J. Bock, Asantha Cooray | Summary: We report the first measurement of the zodiacal light (ZL) polarization spectrum in the near-infrared between 0.8 and 1.8 $mu$m. Using the low-resolution spectrometer (LRS) on board the Cosmic Infrared Background Experiment (CIBER), […]
Kavli Affiliate: Wayne Hu | First 5 Authors: David Zegeye, Keisuke Inomata, Wayne Hu, , | Summary: Single field inflationary models that seek to greatly enhance small scale power in order to form primordial black holes predict both a squeezed bispectrum that is enhanced by this small scale power and a potentially detectable enhancement of […]
Kavli Affiliate: Kevin Parker | First 5 Authors: Henry M. Clever, Ankur Handa, Hammad Mazhar, Kevin Parker, Omer Shapira | Summary: Sharing autonomy between robots and human operators could facilitate data collection of robotic task demonstrations to continuously improve learned models. Yet, the means to communicate intent and reason about the future are disparate between […]
Kavli Affiliate: Sara Seager | First 5 Authors: Sara Seager, Janusz J. Petkowski, Christopher E. Carr, David Grinspoon, Bethany Ehlmann | Summary: The Venus Life Finder Missions are a series of focused astrobiology mission concepts to search for habitability, signs of life, and life itself in the Venus atmosphere. While people have speculated on life […]
Kavli Affiliate: Marshall Bautz | First 5 Authors: Tanmoy Chattopadhyay, Sven Herrmann, Barry Burke, Kevan Donlon, Gregory Prigozhin | Summary: We present an evaluation of a novel on-chip charge detector, called the Single electron Sensitive Read Out (SiSeRO), for charge-coupled device (CCD) image sensor applications. It uses a p-MOSFET transistor at the output stage with […]
