Dynamical Evolution of Brightest Cluster Galaxies and Their Host Clusters: Insights from IllustrisTNG

Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: Jubee Sohn, Margaret J. Geller, Mark Vogelsberger, Josh Borrow, | Summary: We explore the redshift evolution of the dynamical properties of massive clusters and their brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) at $z < 2$ based on the IllustrisTNG-300 simulation. We select 270 massive clusters with $M_{200} < 10^{14}~{rm […]

Black Hole and de Sitter Microstructures from a Semiclassical Perspective

Kavli Affiliate: Yasunori Nomura | Summary:We describe two different, but equivalent semiclassical views of black hole physics in which the equivalence principle and unitarity are both accommodated. In one, unitarity is built-in, while the black hole interior emerges only effectively as a collective phenomenon involving horizon (and possibly other) degrees of freedom. In the other, […]

Positive-Negative Equal Contrastive Loss for Semantic Segmentation

Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Jing Wang, Lingfei Xuan, Wenxuan Wang, Tianxiang Zhang, Jiangyun Li | Summary: The contextual information is critical for various computer vision tasks, previous works commonly design plug-and-play modules and structural losses to effectively extract and aggregate the global context. These methods utilize fine-label to optimize the model […]

The effect of obstacles near a silo outlet on the discharge of soft spheres

Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Jing Wang, Kirsten Harth, Dmitry Puzyrev, Ralf Stannarius, | Summary: Soft smooth particles in silo discharge show peculiar characteristics, including, for example, non-permanent clogging and intermittent flow. This paper describes a study of soft, low-frictional hydro-gel spheres in a quasi-2D silo. We enforce a more competitive behavior […]
