Gamma-Ray Bursts Observed by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite: Prompt Optical Counterparts and Afterglows of Swift-XRT Localized GRBs

Posted by dbos MIT

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Fausnaugh | First 5 Authors: Rahul Jayaraman, Michael Fausnaugh, George R. Ricker, Roland Vanderspek, | Summary: Very few detections have been made of optical flashes contemporaneous with prompt high-energy emission from a gamma-ray burst (GRB). In this work, we present and analyze light curves of GRB-associated optical flashes and afterglows from the […]

Posted by dbos MIT

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Fausnaugh | First 5 Authors: Rahul Jayaraman, Michael Fausnaugh, George R. Ricker, Roland Vanderspek, | Summary: Throughout the past three decades, only a few tens of observations have been made of optical flashes contemporaneous with gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), despite the thousands of GRBs that have been detected during that same timeframe. In […]

Two of a Kind: Comparing big and small black holes in binaries with gravitational waves

Posted by Chicago

Kavli Affiliate: Daniel E. Holz | First 5 Authors: Amanda M. Farah, Maya Fishbach, Daniel E. Holz, , | Summary: When modeling the population of merging binary black holes, analyses have generally focused on characterizing the distribution of primary (i.e. more massive) black holes in the binary, while simplistic prescriptions are used for the distribution […]

Measurement of branching-fraction ratios and $CP$ asymmetries in $B^{pm} to D_{CPpm}K^{pm}$ decays at Belle and Belle II

Posted by klaurent Tokyo

Kavli Affiliate: T. Higuchi | First 5 Authors: The Belle, Belle II Collaborations, :, I. Adachi, L. Aggarwal | Summary: We report results from a study of $B^pm rightarrow DK^pm$ decays followed by $D$ decaying to $CP$~eigenstates, where $D$ indicates a $D^0$ or $bar{D}^{0}$ meson. These decays are sensitive to the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa unitarity-triangle angle $phi_{3}$. […]

Limitations of fluorescent timer proteins toward isolation of developmentally and transcriptionally synchronized populations of human pluripotent stem cells and neural progenitors highlight unique expression and fluorescence maturation kinetics by human cells

Posted by klaurent UCSF

Kavli Affiliate: Seth Shipman | Authors: Manuel Peter, Seth Shipman, Jeffrey D. Macklis | Summary: Differentiation of human pluripotent stem cells (hPSC) into distinct neuronal populations holds substantial potential for disease modeling in vitro, toward both elucidation of pathobiological mechanisms and screening of potential therapeutic agents. For successful differentiation of hPSCs into subtype-specific neurons using […]

When Super-Resolution Meets Camouflaged Object Detection: A Comparison Study

Posted by klaurent UCAS

Kavli Affiliate: Cheng Peng | First 5 Authors: Juan Wen, Shupeng Cheng, Peng Xu, Bowen Zhou, Radu Timofte | Summary: Super Resolution (SR) and Camouflaged Object Detection (COD) are two hot topics in computer vision with various joint applications. For instance, low-resolution surveillance images can be successively processed by super-resolution techniques and camouflaged object detection. […]
