Finding the boundary: Using galaxy membership to inform galaxy cluster extent through machine learning

Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | Summary:The spatial extent of the environment’s impact on galaxies marks a transitional region between cluster and field galaxies. We present a data-driven method to identify this region in galaxy clusters with masses $M_200rm ,mean>10^13 M_odot$ at $z = 0$. Using resolved galaxy samples from the largest simulation volume of IllustrisTNG […]

Bridging the divide: axion searches and axino phenomenology at colliders

Kavli Affiliate: David W. Miller | Summary:We discuss a phenomenological model that extends the minimal supersymmetric standard model to contain axions and their supersymmetric partner, the axino. In the supersymmetric DFSZ axion model, the axino has tree level couplings to the higgs sector. In the case where $R$-parity is conserved, collider experiments may be sensitive […]

Uniaxial stress control of versatile helimagnetic phases in the square-lattice itinerant magnet EuAl$_4$

Kavli Affiliate: Hiraku Nakajima| First 5 Authors: Masaki Gen, Masaki Gen, , , | Summary:We investigate uniaxial-stress effects on the magnetic phase diagram of the square-lattice itinerant magnet EuAl$_4$, where strong coupling among spin, lattice, and charge produces a variety of helimagnetic phases, including rhombic and square skyrmion lattices. Combining resistivity and magnetization measurements with […]

Distillation Dynamics: Towards Understanding Feature-Based Distillation in Vision Transformers

Kavli Affiliate: Zhiting Tian | First 5 Authors: Huiyuan Tian, Huiyuan Tian, , , | Summary: While feature-based knowledge distillation has proven highly effective for compressing CNNs, these techniques unexpectedly fail when applied to Vision Transformers (ViTs), often performing worse than simple logit-based distillation. We provide the first comprehensive analysis of this phenomenon through a […]

Affordance-Guided Coarse-to-Fine Exploration for Base Placement in Open-Vocabulary Mobile Manipulation

Kavli Affiliate: N. C. Yeh| 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 open-vocabulary mobile manipulation (OVMM), task success often hinges on the selection of an appropriate base placement for the robot. Existing approaches typically navigate to proximity-based regions without considering affordances, resulting in frequent manipulation failures. We propose Affordance-Guided Coarse-to-Fine Exploration, a zero-shot […]

NbodyCP:A direct N-body simulation code for composite stellar populations of single and binary star clusters

Kavli Affiliate: Rainer Spurzem | Summary:It is well-known that some star clusters contain composite stellar populations (CSPs), in which the metallicities or (and) ages of stars are different. The formation and evolution of such clusters and their stellar populations remain unclear. Both single and binary cluster channels may lead to such CSPs. In order to […]
