A Rate Control Algorithm for Video-based Point Cloud Compression

Kavli Affiliate: Wei Gao | First 5 Authors: Fangyu Shen, Wei Gao, , , | Summary: Video-based point cloud compression (V-PCC) has been an emerging compression technology that projects the 3D point cloud into a 2D plane and uses high efficiency video coding (HEVC) to encode the projected 2D videos (geometry video and color video). […]

Renormalization of excitonic properties by polar phonons

Kavli Affiliate: David T. Limmer | First 5 Authors: Yoonjae Park, David T. Limmer, , , | Summary: We employ quasiparticle path integral molecular dynamics to study how the excitonic properties of model semiconductors are altered by electron-phonon coupling. We describe ways within a path integral representation of the system to evaluate the renormalized mass, […]

MgII in the JWST Era: a Probe of Lyman Continuum Escape?

Kavli Affiliate: Martin Haehnelt | First 5 Authors: Harley Katz, Thibault Garel, Joakim Rosdahl, Valentin Mauerhofer, Taysun Kimm | Summary: Limited constraints on the evolution of the Lyman Continuum (LyC) escape fraction represent one of the primary uncertainties in the theoretical determination of the reionization history. Due to the intervening intergalactic medium (IGM), the possibility […]

Sunyaev-Zel’dovich effect and X-ray scaling relations of galaxies, groups and clusters in the IllustrisTNG simulations

Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: Ana-Roxana Pop, Lars Hernquist, Daisuke Nagai, Rahul Kannan, Rainer Weinberger | Summary: Observable thermodynamical properties of the intracluster medium (ICM) reflect the complex interplay between AGN feedback and the gravitational collapse of haloes. Using the large volume TNG300 simulation of the IllustrisTNG project we provide predictions for […]

A Taxonomy for the Configurations of Quadruply Lensed Quasars

Kavli Affiliate: Paul L. Schechter | First 5 Authors: Paul L. Schechter, , , , | Summary: A simple, novice-friendly scheme for classifying the image configurations of quadruply lensed quasars is proposed. With only six classes, it is intentionally coarse-grained. It focuses on the kitelikeness and circularity of these configurations, or the absence thereof. Other […]

The Astrophysical Distance Scale: V. A 2% Distance to the Local Group Spiral M33 via the JAGB Method, Tip of the Red Giant Branch, and Leavitt Law

Kavli Affiliate: Wendy L. Freedman | First 5 Authors: Abigail J. Lee, Laurie Rousseau-Nepton, Wendy L. Freedman, Barry F. Madore, Maria-Rosa L. Cioni | Summary: The J-region asymptotic giant branch (JAGB) method is a new standard candle that is based on the stable intrinsic J-band magnitude of color-selected carbon stars, and has a precision comparable […]

Split personalities in Bayesian Neural Networks: the case for full marginalisation

Kavli Affiliate: Anthony Lasenby | First 5 Authors: David Yallup, Will Handley, Mike Hobson, Anthony Lasenby, Pablo Lemos | Summary: The true posterior distribution of a Bayesian neural network is massively multimodal. Whilst most of these modes are functionally equivalent, we demonstrate that there remains a level of real multimodality that manifests in even the […]
