Type IIb Supernova Progenitors in 3D: Variability and Episodic Mass Loss revealed by Radiation-Hydrodynamics Simulations

Kavli Affiliate: Lars Bildsten | First 5 Authors: Jared A. Goldberg, Jared A. Goldberg, , , | Summary: We present the first 3D Radiation-Hydrodynamics simulations of partially-stripped ($M_mathrmcoresim10M_odot$, $M_mathrmenvsim0.1-1M_odot$) Yellow Supergiant ($Lsim10^5$, $T_mathrmeffapprox5000-8000$K) envelopes, constructed with Athena++. These envelope models represent the progenitors of Type IIb supernovae (SNe-IIb), which have lost a substantial fraction of […]

ATLAS: A Self-Supervised and Cross-Stage Netlist Power Model for Fine-Grained Time-Based Layout Power Analysis

Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Wenkai Li, Wenkai Li, , , | Summary: Accurate power prediction in VLSI design is crucial for effective power optimization, especially as designs get transformed from gate-level netlist to layout stages. However, traditional accurate power simulation requires time-consuming back-end processing and simulation steps, which significantly impede design […]
