Stochastic star formation and the abundance of $z>10$ UV-bright galaxies

Kavli Affiliate: Andrey Kravtsov | First 5 Authors: Andrey Kravtsov, Vasily Belokurov, , , | Summary: We use a well-motivated galaxy formation framework to predict stellar masses, star formation rates (SFR), and ultraviolet (UV) luminosities of galaxy populations at redshifts $zin 5-16$, taking into account stochasticity of SFR in a controlled manner. We demonstrate that […]

Astrometric Redshifts of Supernovae

Kavli Affiliate: Richard Kessler | First 5 Authors: Jaemyoung Jason Lee, Masao Sako, Richard Kessler, Alex I. Malz, The LSST Dark Energy Science Collaboration | Summary: Differential Chromatic Refraction (DCR) is caused by the wavelength dependence of our atmosphere’s refractive index, which shifts the apparent positions of stars and galaxies and distorts their shapes depending […]

Astrometric Redshifts of Supernovae

Kavli Affiliate: Richard Kessler | First 5 Authors: Jaemyoung, Lee, Masao Sako, Richard Kessler, Alex I. Malz | Summary: Differential Chromatic Refraction (DCR) is caused by the wavelength dependence of our atmosphere’s refractive index, which shifts the apparent positions of stars and galaxies and distorts their shapes depending on their spectral energy distributions (SEDs). While […]

Probability of Presence Versus $ψ(x,t)^* ψ(x, t)$

Kavli Affiliate: Frank Wilczek | First 5 Authors: Frank Wilczek, Zara Yu, , , | Summary: Postulating the identification of $psi^*(x, t) psi(x,t)$ with a physical probability density is unsatisfactory conceptually and overly limited practically. For electrons, there is a simple, calculable relativistic correction proportional to $nabla psi^* cdot nabla psi$. In particular, zeroes of […]

OptPDE: Discovering Novel Integrable Systems via AI-Human Collaboration

Kavli Affiliate: Max Tegmark | First 5 Authors: Subhash Kantamneni, Ziming Liu, Max Tegmark, , | Summary: Integrable partial differential equation (PDE) systems are of great interest in natural science, but are exceedingly rare and difficult to discover. To solve this, we introduce OptPDE, a first-of-its-kind machine learning approach that Optimizes PDEs’ coefficients to maximize […]

DriveWorld: 4D Pre-trained Scene Understanding via World Models for Autonomous Driving

Kavli Affiliate: Zheng Zhu | First 5 Authors: Chen Min, Dawei Zhao, Liang Xiao, Jian Zhao, Xinli Xu | Summary: Vision-centric autonomous driving has recently raised wide attention due to its lower cost. Pre-training is essential for extracting a universal representation. However, current vision-centric pre-training typically relies on either 2D or 3D pre-text tasks, overlooking […]
