52 Eclipsing Quadruple Star Candidates Discovered in TESS Full Frame Images

Posted by klaurent October 31, 2025MIT

Kavli Affiliate: Saul Rappaport | Summary:We present the discovery of 52 eclipsing quadruple star candidates detected in TESS Full Frame Image eleanor data by machine learning and citizen scientists. The uniformly-vetted and -validated targets exhibit two sets of eclipses following two distinct periods, representing quadruple systems with a 2+2 hierarchical configuration. Detailed photocenter measurements confirmed […]

Self-Diffusion Driven Blind Imaging

Posted by klaurent October 31, 2025Cornell

Kavli Affiliate: Dan Luo | First 5 Authors: Yanlong Yang, Yanlong Yang, , , | Summary: Optical imaging systems are inherently imperfect due to diffraction limits, lens manufacturing tolerances, assembly misalignment, and other physical constraints. In addition, unavoidable camera shake and object motion further introduce non-ideal degradations during acquisition. These aberrations and motion-induced variations are […]

Reproducing Abell 2744 with the HyperMillennium Simulation

Posted by klaurent October 31, 2025Cornell

Kavli Affiliate: Jie Shan | First 5 Authors: Qiao Wang, Qiao Wang, , , | Summary: We present the Hyper Millennium (HM) simulation, an extremely large cosmological simulation designed to support next-generation galaxy surveys. The simulation follows 4.2 trillion dark matter particles in a comoving box of $2.5 h^-1rm Gpc$, with a mass resolution of […]

Object-IR: Leveraging Object Consistency and Mesh Deformation for Self-Supervised Image Retargeting

Posted by klaurent October 31, 2025November 10, 2025Peking

Kavli Affiliate: Ran Wang | First 5 Authors: Tianli Liao, Tianli Liao, , , | Summary: Eliminating geometric distortion in semantically important regions remains an intractable challenge in image retargeting. This paper presents Object-IR, a self-supervised architecture that reformulates image retargeting as a learning-based mesh warping optimization problem, where the mesh deformation is guided by […]

Observation of the radiative decay $D_s (2317)^+ to D_s^* γ$

Posted by klaurent October 31, 2025November 12, 2025Tokyo

Kavli Affiliate: T. Higuchi | First 5 Authors: Belle II Collaboration, Belle II Collaboration, , , | Summary: We observe the radiative decay $D^*_s0(2317)^+ to D_s^*+ gamma$ for the first time, with a significance exceeding $10$ standard deviations. The signal is found in the continuum $e^+ e^- to cbarc$ process with the combined data samples […]

How Do Proteins Fold?

Posted by klaurent October 31, 2025Berkeley

Kavli Affiliate: Carlos Bustamante | Summary:How proteins fold remains a central unsolved problem in biology. While the idea of a folding code embedded in the amino acid sequence was introduced more than 6 decades ago, this code remains undefined. While we now have powerful predictive tools to predict the final native structure of proteins, we […]

Direct multi-model dark-matter search with gravitational-wave interferometers using data from the first part of the fourth LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA observing run

Posted by klaurent October 30, 2025Caltech

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:Gravitational-wave detectors can probe the existence of dark matter with exquisite sensitivity. Here, we perform a search for three kinds of dark matter — dilatons (spin-0), dark photons (spin-1) and tensor bosons (spin-2) — using three independent methods on the first part of […]
