Discovery of Quasi-periodic Eruptions in the Tidal Disruption Event and Extreme Coronal Line Emitter AT2022upj: implications for the QPE/TDE fraction and a connection to ECLEs

Posted by dbos March 24, 2025MIT

Kavli Affiliate: Erin Kara | First 5 Authors: Joheen Chakraborty, Erin Kara, Riccardo Arcodia, Johannes Buchner, Margherita Giustini | Summary: Quasi-periodic eruptions (QPEs) are recurring soft X-ray transients emerging from the vicinity of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) in nearby, low-mass galaxy nuclei; about ten QPE hosts have been identified thus far. Here we report the […]

Observing Dark Matter Decays to Gravitons via Graviton-Photon Conversion

Posted by dbos March 24, 2025March 31, 2025Chicago

Kavli Affiliate: Gordan Krnjaic | First 5 Authors: David I. Dunsky, Gordan Krnjaic, Elena Pinetti, , | Summary: Since dark matter is only known to have gravitational interactions, it may plausibly decay to gravitons on cosmological timescales. Although such a scenario can be easily realized, there are currently no known limits on this possibility based […]

Effective field theory for triple-Q magnetic orders on a hexagonal lattice

Posted by klaurent March 24, 2025UCAS

Kavli Affiliate: Yi Zhou | First 5 Authors: Jin-Tao Jin, Yi Zhou, , , | Summary: We develop a comprehensive Ginzburg-Landau theory describing triple-Q magnetic orders on hexagonal lattices, focusing on $O(N)$ models with $N=2$ and $N=3$. Through systematic analysis of symmetry-allowed terms in the free energy, we establish complete phase diagrams governed by competing […]

NMPC-based Unified Posture Manipulation and Thrust Vectoring for Fault Recovery

Posted by dbos March 24, 2025March 31, 2025Caltech

Kavli Affiliate: Morteza Gharib | First 5 Authors: Adarsh Salagame, Shashwat Pandya, Ioannis Mandralis, Eric Sihite, Alireza Ramezani | Summary: Multi-rotors face significant risks, as actuator failures at high altitudes can easily result in a crash and the robot’s destruction. Therefore, rapid fault recovery in the event of an actuator failure is necessary for the […]

Learning Orientation Field for OSM-Guided Autonomous Navigation

Posted by dbos March 24, 2025March 31, 2025Caltech

Kavli Affiliate: Wei Gao | First 5 Authors: Yuming Huang, Wei Gao, Zhiyuan Zhang, Maani Ghaffari, Dezhen Song | Summary: OpenStreetMap (OSM) has gained popularity recently in autonomous navigation due to its public accessibility, lower maintenance costs, and broader geographical coverage. However, existing methods often struggle with noisy OSM data and incomplete sensor observations, leading […]
