A census of 163 large-scale (>=10 pc), velocity-coherent filaments in inner Galactic plane: physical properties, dense gas fraction, and association with spiral arms

Posted by klaurent Peking

Kavli Affiliate: Ke Wang | First 5 Authors: Yifei Ge, Ke Wang, , , | Summary: The interstellar medium has a highly filamentary and hierarchical structure, which may play a significant role in star formation. A systematical study on the large-scale filaments towards their physical parameters, distribution, structures and kinematics will inform us of what […]

Augmenting astrophysical scaling relations with machine learning : application to reducing the SZ flux-mass scatter

Posted by klaurent Tokyo

Kavli Affiliate: David N. Spergel | First 5 Authors: Digvijay Wadekar, Leander Thiele, Francisco Villaescusa-Navarro, J. Colin Hill, Miles Cranmer | Summary: Complex systems (stars, supernovae, galaxies, and clusters) often exhibit low scatter relations between observable properties (e.g., luminosity, velocity dispersion, oscillation period, temperature). These scaling relations can illuminate the underlying physics and can provide […]

Evidence of large recoil velocity from a black hole merger signal

Posted by klaurent MIT

Kavli Affiliate: Salvatore Vitale | First 5 Authors: Vijay Varma, Sylvia Biscoveanu, Tousif Islam, Feroz H. Shaik, Carl-Johan Haster | Summary: The final black hole left behind after a binary black hole merger can attain a recoil velocity, or a "kick", reaching values up to 5000 km/s. This phenomenon has important implications for gravitational wave […]

Classification of solutions to several semi-linear polyharmonic equations and fractional equations

Posted by klaurent Peking

Kavli Affiliate: Feng Yuan | First 5 Authors: Zhuoran Du, Zhenping Feng, Yuan Li, , | Summary: We are concerned with the following semi-linear polyharmonic equation with integral constraint begin{align} left{begin{array}{rl} &(-Delta)^pu=u^gamma_+ ~~ mbox{ in }{mathbb{R}^n},\ nonumber &int_{mathbb{R}^n}u_+^{gamma}dx<+infty, end{array}right. end{align} where $n>2p$, $pgeq2$ and $pinmathbb{Z}$. We obtain for $gammain(1,frac{n}{n-2p})$ that any nonconstant solution satisfying certain […]

Nonvolatile Electric-Field Control of Inversion Symmetry

Posted by klaurent Cornell

Kavli Affiliate: Darrell G. Schlom | First 5 Authors: Lucas Caretta, Yu-Tsun Shao, Jia Yu, Antonio B. Mei, Bastien F. Grosso | Summary: In condensed-matter systems, competition between ground states at phase boundaries can lead to significant changes in material properties under external stimuli, particularly when these ground states have different crystal symmetries. A key […]

Optimal control of nonequilibrium systems through automatic differentiation

Posted by klaurent Harvard

Kavli Affiliate: Michael P. Brenner | First 5 Authors: Megan C. Engel, Jamie A. Smith, Michael P. Brenner, , | Summary: Controlling the evolution of nonequilibrium systems to minimize dissipated heat or work is a key goal for designing nanodevices, both in nanotechnology and biology. Progress in computing optimal protocols has thus far been limited […]
