Kavli Affiliate: Saul A. Rappaport | First 5 Authors: Veselin B. Kostov, Brian P. Powell, Guillermo Torres, Tamas Borkovits, Saul A. Rappaport | Summary: We report the discovery of a compact, coplanar, quadruply-lined, eclipsing quadruple star system from TESS data, TIC 454140642, also known as TYC 0074-01254-1. The target was first detected in Sector 5 […]
Kavli Affiliate: Vinothan Manoharan | First 5 Authors: Caroline Martin, Brian Leahy, Vinothan Manoharan, , | Summary: Holographic microscopy combined with forward modeling and inference allows colloidal particles to be characterized and tracked in three dimensions with high precision. However, current models ignore the effects of optical aberrations on hologram formation. We investigate the effects […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Shaofu Xu, Jing Wang, Haowen Shu, Zhike Zhang, Sicheng Yi | Summary: Optical implementations of neural networks (ONNs) herald the next-generation high-speed and energy-efficient deep learning computing by harnessing the technical advantages of large bandwidth and high parallelism of optics. However, due to the problems of incomplete […]
Kavli Affiliate: Zheng Zhu | First 5 Authors: Kai Wang, Shuo Wang, Panpan Zhang, Zhipeng Zhou, Zheng Zhu | Summary: Face recognition has achieved significant progress in deep learning era due to the ultra-large-scale and welllabeled datasets. However, training on the outsize datasets is time-consuming and takes up a lot of hardware resource. Therefore, designing […]
Kavli Affiliate: Naoki Yasuda | Summary:We report on a spectroscopic program to search for dual quasars using Subaru Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC) images of SDSS quasars which represent an important stage during galaxy mergers. Using Subaru/FOCAS and Gemini-N/GMOS, we identify three new physically associated quasar pairs having projected separations less than 20 kpc, out of 26 […]
Kavli Affiliate: John D. Silverman | First 5 Authors: Shenli Tang, John D. Silverman, Xuheng Ding, Junyao Li, Khee-Gan Lee | Summary: We report on a spectroscopic program to search for dual quasars using Subaru Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC) images of SDSS quasars which represent an important stage during galaxy mergers. Using Subaru/FOCAS and Gemini-N/GMOS, we […]
Kavli Affiliate: Gregory Y. Prigozhin | First 5 Authors: Ronald A. Remillard, Michael Loewenstein, James F. Steiner, Gregory Y. Prigozhin, Beverly LaMarr | Summary: NICER has a comparatively low background rate, but it is highly variable, and its spectrum must be predicted using measurements unaffected by the science target. We describe an empirical, three-parameter model […]
Kavli Affiliate: Kejia Lee | First 5 Authors: Yan Huang, Xiang-Ping Wu, Quan Guo, Qian Zheng, Biying Li | Summary: We present a conceptual design study of external calibrators in the 21 cm experiment towards detecting the globally averaged radiation of the epoch of reionization (EoR). Employment of external calibrator instead of internal calibrator commonly […]
Kavli Affiliate: Thomas M. Crawford | First 5 Authors: Prashant Kocherlakota, Luciano Rezzolla, Heino Falcke, Christian M. Fromm, Michael Kramer | Summary: Our understanding of strong gravity near supermassive compact objects has recently improved thanks to the measurements made by the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT). We use here the M87* shadow size to infer constraints […]
Kavli Affiliate: Susan E. Clark | First 5 Authors: Alejandro S. Borlaff, Enrique Lopez-Rodriguez, Rainer Beck, Rodion Stepanov, Eva Ntormousi | Summary: The recent availability of high-resolution far-infrared (FIR) polarization observations of galaxies using HAWC+/SOFIA has facilitated studies of extragalactic magnetic fields in the cold and dense molecular disks.We investigate if any significant structural differences […]
