The High Energy X-ray Probe (HEX-P): resolving the nature of Sgr A* flares, compact object binaries and diffuse X-ray emission in the Galactic Center and beyond

Kavli Affiliate: Melania Nynka | First 5 Authors: Kaya Mori, Gabriele Ponti, Matteo Bachetti, Arash Bodaghee, Jonathan Grindlay | Summary: HEX-P is a probe-class mission concept that will combine high spatial resolution X-ray imaging ($<10"$ FWHM) and broad spectral coverage (0.2-80 keV) with an effective area far superior to current facilities’ (including XMM-Newton and NuSTAR). […]

Learning to Control under Uncertainty with Data-Based Iterative Linear Quadratic Regulator

Kavli Affiliate: Ran Wang | First 5 Authors: Ran Wang, Raman Goyal, Suman Chakravorty, , | Summary: This paper studies the learning-to-control problem under process and sensing uncertainties for dynamical systems. In our previous work, we developed a data-based generalization of the iterative linear quadratic regulator (iLQR) to design closed-loop feedback control for high-dimensional dynamical […]

The High Energy X-ray Probe (HEX-P): Bringing the Cosmic X-ray Background into Focus

Kavli Affiliate: Claudio Ricci | First 5 Authors: Francesca Civano, Xiurui Zhao, Peter Boorman, Stefano Marchesi, Tonima Ananna | Summary: Since the discovery of the cosmic X-ray background (CXB), astronomers have strived to understand the accreting supermassive black holes (SMBHs) contributing to its peak in the 10-40 keV band. Existing soft X-ray telescopes could study […]
