Kavli Affiliate: Catherine E. Grant | First 5 Authors: Eric D. Miller, Catherine E. Grant, Marshall W. Bautz, Silvano Molendi, Ralph Kraft | Summary: The Wide Field Imager (WFI) flying on Athena will usher in the next era of studying the hot and energetic Universe. WFI observations of faint, diffuse sources will be limited by […]
Kavli Affiliate: Christopher Burke | Summary:Astronomers do not have a complete picture of the effects of wide-binary companions (semimajor axes greater than 100 AU) on the formation and evolution of exoplanets. We investigate these effects using new data from Gaia EDR3 and the TESS mission to characterize wide-binary systems with transiting exoplanets. We identify a […]
Kavli Affiliate: Steven W. Allen | First 5 Authors: Xuejian Shen, Thejs Brinckmann, David Rapetti, Mark Vogelsberger, Adam Mantz | Summary: We perform cosmological zoom-in simulations of $19$ relaxed cluster-mass haloes with the inclusion of adiabatic gas within the cold dark matter (CDM) and self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) models. These clusters are selected as dynamically […]
Kavli Affiliate: Ronald Hanson | First 5 Authors: Arian Stolk, Kian L. van der Enden, Marie-Christine Roehsner, Annick Teepe, Stein O. J. Faes | Summary: Entanglement distribution over quantum networks has the promise of realizing fundamentally new technologies. Entanglement between separated quantum processing nodes has been achieved on several experimental platforms in the past decade. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jeffrey A. Harvey | First 5 Authors: Sarah M. Harrison, Jeffrey A. Harvey, Natalie M. Paquette, , | Summary: We present a brief overview of Moonshine with an emphasis on connections to physics. Moonshine collectively refers to a set of phenomena connecting group theory, analytic number theory, and vertex operator algebras or conformal […]
Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vagins | Summary:The advent of gadolinium-loaded Super-Kamiokande (SK-Gd) and of the soon-to-start JUNO liquid scintillator detector marks a substantial improvement in the global sensitivity for the Diffuse Supernova Neutrino Background (DSNB). The present article reviews the detector properties most relevant for the DSNB searches in both experiments and estimates the expected signal […]
Kavli Affiliate: Marcelo Mattar | Authors: Flora Bouchacourt, Sina Tafazoli, Marcelo Gomes Mattar, Timothy J Buschman and Nathaniel Douglass Daw | Summary: Abstract To adapt to a changing world, we must be able to switch between rules already learned and, at other times, learn rules anew. Often we must do both at the same time, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Jiangyun Li, Wenxuan Wang, Chen Chen, Tianxiang Zhang, Sen Zha | Summary: Transformer, benefiting from global (long-range) information modeling using self-attention mechanism, has been successful in natural language processing and computer vision recently. Convolutional Neural Networks, capable of capturing local features, are difficult to model explicit long-distance […]
Kavli Affiliate: Chiaki Hikage | Summary:We perform a cosmic shear analysis of HSC survey first-year data (HSC-Y1) using Complete Orthogonal Sets of E/B-Integrals (COSEBIs) to derive cosmological constraints. We compute E/B-mode COSEBIs from cosmic shear two-point correlation functions measured on an angular range of $4arcmin<θ<180arcmin$. We perform the standard Bayesian likelihood analysis for cosmological inference […]
Kavli Affiliate: George R. Ricker | First 5 Authors: Steven Giacalone, Courtney D. Dressing, Christina Hedges, Veselin B. Kostov, Karen A. Collins | Summary: The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) will be able to probe the atmospheres and surface properties of hot, terrestrial planets via emission spectroscopy. We identify 18 potentially terrestrial planet candidates detected […]
