PriVi: Towards A General-Purpose Video Model For Primate Behavior In The Wild

Kavli Affiliate: Felix Fischer| First 5 Authors: Felix B. Mueller, Felix B. Mueller, , , | Summary:Non-human primates are our closest living relatives, and analyzing their behavior is central to research in cognition, evolution, and conservation. Computer vision could greatly aid this research, but existing methods often rely on human-centric pretrained models and focus on […]

Photon counting readout for detection and inference of gravitational waves from neutron star merger remnants

Kavli Affiliate: Lee McCuller | Summary:Gravitational waves emitted after neutron star binary coalescences and the information they carry about dense matter are a high-priority target for next-generation detectors. Even though such detectors are expected to observe millions of signals, detectable postmerger emission will remain rare. In this work, we explore postmerger detectability and inference through […]

Fractional Dynamics in Galactic Nuclei: Non-Local Transport, Transient Phenomena and the Nullification of the Schwarzschild Barrier

Kavli Affiliate: Pau Amaro Seoane | Summary:We investigate the application of fractional calculus to model stellar dynamics, focusing on Resonant Relaxation (RR) near a supermassive black hole (SMBH). Standard theories use the local Fokker-Planck (FP) equation, restricted to Gaussian processes under the Central Limit Theorem (CLT). We argue this is inadequate for RR. We demonstrate […]

Fractional Dynamics in Galactic Nuclei: Non-Local Transport, Transient Phenomena and the Nullification of the Schwarzschild Barrier

Kavli Affiliate: Pau Amaro Seoane| First 5 Authors: Pau Amaro Seoane, Pau Amaro Seoane, , , | Summary:We demonstrate the necessity of fractional calculus for modeling anomalous diffusion in stellar dynamics, specifically Resonant Relaxation (RR) near a supermassive black hole (SMBH). Standard transport theories rely on the local Fokker-Planck (FP) equation, a formalism restricted to […]

The SEEDZ Simulations: Methodology and First Results on Massive Black Hole Seeding and Early Galaxy Growth

Kavli Affiliate: Martin Haehnelt | Summary:Here we introduce the SEEDZ simulations, a suite of cosmological hydrodynamic simulations exploring the formation and growth of the first massive black holes in the Universe. SEEDZ includes models for Population III star formation, supernovae explosions and the resulting formation of light seed black holes, metal enrichment and subsequent Population […]

Cosmological Limits on Strong Dark Forces

Kavli Affiliate: Peter Graham | Summary:We showcase cosmology’s ability to constrain long-range forces between dark matter particles. Specifically, we consider a fermionic dark matter interacting via a Yukawa-coupled light scalar, focusing on regimes where the dark forces are stronger than gravitational and yet unconstrained. We show that the dark sector dynamics, both at the background […]
