Kavli Affiliate: Deepto Chakrabarty | First 5 Authors: Mason Ng, Ronald A. Remillard, James F. Steiner, Deepto Chakrabarty, Dheeraj R. Pasham | Summary: We report on results from a one-year soft X-ray observing campaign of the ultraluminous X-ray pulsar NGC 300 ULX-1 by the Neutron star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER) during 2018–2019. Our analysis also […]
Kavli Affiliate: Zheng Zhu | First 5 Authors: Chengkun Wang, Wenzhao Zheng, Zheng Zhu, Jie Zhou, Jiwen Lu | Summary: The pretrain-finetune paradigm in modern computer vision facilitates the success of self-supervised learning, which tends to achieve better transferability than supervised learning. However, with the availability of massive labeled data, a natural question emerges: how […]
Kavli Affiliate: Hu Zhan | First 5 Authors: Shi-Yu Li, Yun-Long Li, Tianmeng Zhang, Jozsef Vinko, Eniko Regos | Summary: The 2-m aperture Chinese Space Station Telescope (CSST), which observes at wavelengths ranging from 255 to 1000 nm, is expected to start science operations in 2024. An ultra-deep field observation program covering approximately 10 square […]
Kavli Affiliate: Tom Abel | First 5 Authors: Arka Banerjee, Tom Abel, , , | Summary: In astronomy and cosmology, significant effort is devoted to characterizing and understanding spatial cross-correlations between points – e.g. galaxy positions, high energy neutrino arrival directions, X-ray and AGN sources, and continuous field – e.g. weak lensing and Cosmic Microwave […]
Kavli Affiliate: Cheng Peng | First 5 Authors: Cheng Peng, S. Kevin Zhou, Rama Chellappa, , | Summary: Medical image super-resolution (SR) is an active research area that has many potential applications, including reducing scan time, bettering visual understanding, increasing robustness in downstream tasks, etc. However, applying deep-learning-based SR approaches for clinical applications often encounters […]
Kavli Affiliate: Birgitta Whaley | First 5 Authors: Zeng-Zhao Li, Weijian Chen, Maryam Abbasi, Kater W. Murch, K. Birgitta Whaley | Summary: Entanglement is a key resource for quantum information technologies ranging from quantum sensing to quantum computing. Conventionally, the entanglement between two coupled qubits is established at the time scale of the inverse of […]

Kavli Affiliate: Lijing Shao | First 5 Authors: Leïla Haegel, Kellie O’Neal-Ault, Quentin G. Bailey, Jay D. Tasson, Malachy Bloom | Summary: An effective field theory framework, the Standard-Model Extension, is used to investigate the existence of Lorentz and CPT-violating effects during gravitational wave propagation. We implement a modified equation for the dispersion of gravitational […]
Kavli Affiliate: Kejia Lee | First 5 Authors: Wei-Yang Wang, Jin-Chen Jiang, Kejia Lee, Renxin Xu, Bing Zhang | Summary: Fast radio busts (FRBs) can exhibit a wide variety of polarisation properties, not only between sources but also from burst to burst for a same one. In this work, we revisit the polarisation characters of […]
Kavli Affiliate: Feng Wang | First 5 Authors: Feng Wang, Manling Li, Xudong Lin, Hairong Lv, Alexander G. Schwing | Summary: Recent advances in pre-training vision-language models like CLIP have shown great potential in learning transferable visual representations. Nonetheless, for downstream inference, CLIP-like models suffer from either 1) degraded accuracy and robustness in the case […]
