Kavli Affiliate: George Clark| First 5 Authors: The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, , , | Summary:On 2023 November 23 the two LIGO observatories both detected GW231123, a gravitational-wave signal consistent with the merger of two black holes with masses $137^+23_-18, M_odot$ and $101^+22_-50, M_odot$ (90% credible intervals), at luminosity distance 0.7-4.1 Gpc […]
Kavli Affiliate: Kejia Lee | Summary:Theoretical models predict that intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) exist in globular clusters (GCs), but observational evidence remains elusive. Millisecond pulsars (MSPs), which are abundant in GCs and have served as precise probes for gravitational waves (GWs), offer a unique opportunity to detect potential IMBH binaries in GCs. Here, we consider […]
Kavli Affiliate: George Clark | Summary:Radiation belts are regions of magnetically trapped particle radiation found around all of the sufficiently magnetized planets in the Solar System and recently also observed around brown dwarfs, yet despite their ubiquity, there is not yet a general theory or model to predict the uppermost energy limits that any particular […]
Kavli Affiliate: Hitoshi Murayama | Summary:Many models of dark matter QCD axion requires inflation at a scale $H_textinf lesssim 10^6$~GeV and hence does not allow for a detectable tensor mode fluctuation. This is because the domain wall problem forces the Peccei–Quinn symmetry to be broken during the inflation and the axions to be produced by […]
Kavli Affiliate: Daniel Holz | Summary:All gravitational-wave signals are inevitably gravitationally lensed by intervening matter as they propagate through the Universe. When a gravitational-wave signal is magnified, it emphappears to have originated from a closer, more massive system. Thus, high-mass outliers to the gravitational-wave source population are often proposed as natural candidates for strongly lensed […]

Kavli Affiliate: G. Ravichandran| First 5 Authors: [#item_custom_name[1, [#item_custom_name[2, [#item_custom_name[3, [#item_custom_name[4, [#item_custom_name[5| Summary:In the field of constraint satisfaction problems (CSP), a clause is called redundant if its satisfaction is implied by satisfying all other clauses. An instance of CSP$(P)$ is called non-redundant if it does not contain any redundant clause. The non-redundancy (NRD) of a […]
Kavli Affiliate: Bradford Benson| First 5 Authors: Grace Smith, Grace Smith, , , | Summary:We present a strong lensing analysis and reconstruct the mass distribution of SPT-CL J0356-5337, a galaxy cluster at redshift z = 1.034. Our model supersedes previous models by making use of new multi-band HST data and MUSE spectroscopy. We identify two […]

Kavli Affiliate: Yi Zhou | First 5 Authors: Chengan He, Chengan He, , , | Summary: We introduce Digital Salon, a comprehensive hair authoring system that supports real-time 3D hair generation, simulation, and rendering. Unlike existing methods that focus on isolated parts of 3D hair modeling and involve a heavy computation process or network training, […]
