Kavli Affiliate: Deepto Chakrabarty | Summary:Type Ia supernovae, critical for studying cosmic expansion, arise from thermonuclear explosions of white dwarfs, but their precise progenitor pathways remain unclear. Growing evidence supports the “double-degenerate” scenario, where two white dwarfs interact. The absence of other companion types capable of explaining the observed Ia rate, along with observations of […]

Kavli Affiliate: Zheng Zhu | First 5 Authors: Chaojun Ni, Guosheng Zhao, Xiaofeng Wang, Zheng Zhu, Wenkang Qin | Summary: Closed-loop simulation is crucial for end-to-end autonomous driving. Existing sensor simulation methods (e.g., NeRF and 3DGS) reconstruct driving scenes based on conditions that closely mirror training data distributions. However, these methods struggle with rendering novel […]
