On the dark matter content of ultra-diffuse galaxies

Kavli Affiliate: Andrey Kravtsov | First 5 Authors: Andrey Kravtsov, , , , | Summary: I compare the dark matter content within stellar half-mass radius expected in a $Lambda$CDM-based galaxy formation model with existing observational estimates for the observed dwarf satellites of the Milky Way and ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs). The model reproduces the main properties […]

Solving k-SAT problems with generalized quantum measurement

Kavli Affiliate: Birgitta Whaley | First 5 Authors: Yipei Zhang, Philippe Lewalle, K. Birgitta Whaley, , | Summary: We generalize the projection-based quantum measurement-driven $k$-SAT algorithm of Benjamin, Zhao, and Fitzsimons (BZF, arxiv:1711.02687) to arbitrary strength quantum measurements, including the limit of continuous monitoring. In doing so, we clarify that this algorithm is a particular […]

The Precursor Small Aperture Telescope (PreSAT) CMB polarimeter

Kavli Affiliate: James J. Bock | First 5 Authors: Matthew A. Petroff, Zeeshan Ahmed, James J. Bock, Marion Dierickx, Sofia Fatigoni | Summary: The search for the polarized imprint of primordial gravitational waves in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) as direct evidence of cosmic inflation requires exquisite sensitivity and control over systematics. The next-generation CMB-S4 […]

Evaluating Short-Term Temporal Fluctuations of Social Biases in Social Media Data and Masked Language Models

Kavli Affiliate: Yi Zhou | First 5 Authors: Yi Zhou, Danushka Bollegala, Jose Camacho-Collados, , | Summary: Social biases such as gender or racial biases have been reported in language models (LMs), including Masked Language Models (MLMs). Given that MLMs are continuously trained with increasing amounts of additional data collected over time, an important yet […]

A surprising excess of radio emission in extremely stable quasars: a unique clue to jet launching?

Kavli Affiliate: Feng Yuan | First 5 Authors: Wen-Yong Kang, Jun-Xian Wang, Zhen-Yi Cai, Hao-Chen Wang, Wen-Ke Ren | Summary: Quasars are generally divided into jetted radio-loud and non-jetted radio-quiet ones, but why only 10% quasars are radio loud has been puzzling for decades. Other than jet-induced-phenomena, black hole mass, or Eddington ratio, prominent difference […]

Development of RFSoC-based direct sampling highly multiplexed microwave SQUID readout for future CMB and submillimeter surveys

Kavli Affiliate: Zeeshan Ahmed | First 5 Authors: Chao Liu, Zeeshan Ahmed, Shawn W. Henderson, Ryan Herbst, Larry Ruckman | Summary: The SLAC Microresonator Radio Frequency (SMuRF) electronics is being deployed as the readout for the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) telescopes of the Simons Observatory (SO). A Radio Frequency System-on-Chip (RFSoC) based readout of microwave […]
