The first X-ray polarimetric observation of the black hole binary LMC X-1

Kavli Affiliate: Herman L. Marshall | First 5 Authors: Jakub Podgorny, Lorenzo Marra, Fabio Muleri, Nicole Rodriguez Cavero, Ajay Ratheesh | Summary: We report on an X-ray polarimetric observation of the high-mass X-ray binary LMC X-1 in the high/soft state, obtained by the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) in October 2022. The measured polarization is […]

Learning Optical Flow and Scene Flow with Bidirectional Camera-LiDAR Fusion

Kavli Affiliate: Jia Liu | First 5 Authors: Haisong Liu, Tao Lu, Yihui Xu, Jia Liu, Limin Wang | Summary: In this paper, we study the problem of jointly estimating the optical flow and scene flow from synchronized 2D and 3D data. Previous methods either employ a complex pipeline that splits the joint task into […]

Broadband X-ray timing and spectral characteristics of the accretion-powered millisecond X-ray pulsar MAXI J1816$-$195

Kavli Affiliate: Renxin Xu | First 5 Authors: Zhaosheng Li, Lucien Kuiper, Mingyu Ge, Maurizio Falanga, Juri Poutanen | Summary: We studied the broadband X-ray timing and spectral behaviors of the newly confirmed accreting millisecond X-ray pulsar MAXI J1816$-$195 during its 2022 outburst. We used the data from Insight-HXMT ME/HE, NICER and NuSTAR which cover […]

Anatomy of plasmons in generic Luttinger semimetals

Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: , , , , | Summary: We investigate the parameter regimes favourable for the emergence of plasmons in isotropic, anisotropic, and band-mass symmetric and asymmetric Luttinger semimetals (LSMs). An LSM harbours a quadratic band-crossing point (QBCP) in its bandstructure, where the upper and lower branches of dispersion […]

Anomalous crystalline ordering of particles in a viscoelastic fluid under high shear

Kavli Affiliate: David A. Weitz | First 5 Authors: Sijie Sun, Nan Xue, Stefano Aime, Hyoungsoo Kim, Jizhou Tang | Summary: Addition of particles to a viscoelastic suspension dramatically alters the properties of the mixture, particularly when it is sheared or otherwise processed. Shear-induced stretching of the polymers results in elastic stress that causes a […]

A Simple Baseline for Supervised Surround-view Depth Estimation

Kavli Affiliate: Zheng Zhu | First 5 Authors: Xianda Guo, Wenjie Yuan, Yunpeng Zhang, Tian Yang, Chenming Zhang | Summary: Depth estimation has been widely studied and serves as the fundamental step of 3D perception for intelligent vehicles. Though significant progress has been made in monocular depth estimation in the past decades, these attempts are […]

DiM: Distilling Dataset into Generative Model

Kavli Affiliate: Zheng Zhu | First 5 Authors: Kai Wang, Jianyang Gu, Daquan Zhou, Zheng Zhu, Wei Jiang | Summary: Dataset distillation reduces the network training cost by synthesizing small and informative datasets from large-scale ones. Despite the success of the recent dataset distillation algorithms, three drawbacks still limit their wider application: i). the synthetic […]

Cygnus X-3 revealed as a Galactic ultraluminous X-ray source by IXPE

Kavli Affiliate: Herman L. Marshall | First 5 Authors: Alexandra Veledina, Fabio Muleri, Juri Poutanen, Jakub Podgorný, Michal Dovčiak | Summary: The accretion of matter by compact objects can be inhibited by radiation pressure if the luminosity exceeds the critical value, known as the Eddington limit. Discovery of ultraluminous X-ray sources has shown that accretion […]
