Morphologies of Bright Complex Fast Radio Bursts with CHIME/FRB Voltage Data

Kavli Affiliate: Kiyoshi W. Masui | First 5 Authors: Jakob T. Faber, Daniele Michilli, Ryan Mckinven, Jianing Su, Aaron B. Pearlman | Summary: We present the discovery of twelve thus far non-repeating fast radio burst (FRB) sources, detected by the Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment (CHIME) telescope. These sources were selected from a database comprising […]

Carve3D: Improving Multi-view Reconstruction Consistency for Diffusion Models with RL Finetuning

Kavli Affiliate: Yi Zhou | First 5 Authors: Desai Xie, Jiahao Li, Hao Tan, Xin Sun, Zhixin Shu | Summary: Multi-view diffusion models, obtained by applying Supervised Finetuning (SFT) to text-to-image diffusion models, have driven recent breakthroughs in text-to-3D research. However, due to the limited size and quality of existing 3D datasets, they still suffer […]

Carve3D: Improving Multi-view Reconstruction Consistency for Diffusion Models with RL Finetuning

Kavli Affiliate: Yi Zhou | First 5 Authors: Desai Xie, Jiahao Li, Hao Tan, Xin Sun, Zhixin Shu | Summary: Recent advancements in the text-to-3D task leverage finetuned text-to-image diffusion models to generate multi-view images, followed by NeRF reconstruction. Yet, existing supervised finetuned (SFT) diffusion models still suffer from multi-view inconsistency and the resulting NeRF […]

Hyperuniformity on Mars: Pebbles scattered on sand

Kavli Affiliate: Zheng Zhu | First 5 Authors: Zheng Zhu, Bernard Hallet, András A. Sipos, Gábor Domokos, Quan-Xing Liu | Summary: In Gale Crater near Mars’ equator, dunes and ripples of sand stand out from the general orderless, rocky terrain. In addition, images from Curiosity, the Mars Science Laboratory rover, reveal more subtle orderly forms: […]

Rapid dimming followed by a state transition: a study of the highly variable nuclear transient AT 2019avd over 1000+ days

Kavli Affiliate: Ronald Remillard | Summary:The tidal disruption of a star around a supermassive black hole (SMBH) offers a unique opportunity to study accretion onto a SMBH on a human-timescale. We present results from our 1000+ days NICER, Swift and Chandra monitoring campaign of AT 2019avd, a nuclear transient with TDE-like properties. Our primary finding […]
