Early Bright Galaxies from Helium Enhancements in High-Redshift Star Clusters

Kavli Affiliate: Alexander P. Ji | First 5 Authors: Harley Katz, Alexander P. Ji, O. Grace Telford, Peter Senchyna, | Summary: The first few cycles of JWST have identified an overabundance of UV-bright galaxies and a general excess of UV luminosity density at $zgtrsim10$ compared to expectations from most (pre-JWST) theoretical models. Moreover, some of […]

Disappearance of a massive star in the Andromeda Galaxy due to formation of a black hole

Kavli Affiliate: Erin Kara | Summary:When a massive star reaches the end of its lifetime, its core collapses and releases neutrinos that drive a shock into the outer layers (stellar envelope). A sufficiently strong shock ejects the envelope, producing a supernova. If the shock fails to eject it, the envelope is predicted to fall back […]

A diverse, overlooked population of Type Ia supernovae exhibiting mid-infrared signatures of delayed circumstellar interaction

Kavli Affiliate: Nathan P. Lourie | Summary:Type Ia supernovae arise from the thermonuclear explosions of white dwarfs in multiple star systems. A rare sub-class of SNe Ia exhibit signatures of interaction with circumstellar material (CSM), allowing for direct constraints on companion material. While most known events show evidence for dense nearby CSM identified via peak-light […]

Adaptive Gradient Normalization and Independent Sampling for (Stochastic) Generalized-Smooth Optimization

Kavli Affiliate: Yi Zhou | First 5 Authors: Yufeng Yang, Yufeng Yang, , , | Summary: Recent studies have shown that many nonconvex machine learning problems satisfy a generalized-smooth condition that extends beyond traditional smooth nonconvex optimization. However, the existing algorithms are not fully adapted to such generalized-smooth nonconvex geometry and encounter significant technical limitations […]
