Software Rasterization of 2 Billion Points in Real Time

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Wimmer | First 5 Authors: Markus Schütz, Bernhard Kerbl, Michael Wimmer, , | Summary: We propose a software rasterization pipeline for point clouds that is capable of brute-force rendering up to two billion points in real time (60fps). Improvements over the state of the art are achieved by batching points in a […]

The orientations of the binary black holes in GWTC-3

Kavli Affiliate: Salvatore Vitale | First 5 Authors: Salvatore Vitale, Sylvia Biscoveanu, Colm Talbot, , | Summary: It is expected that the orbital planes of gravitational-wave (GW) sources are isotropically distributed. However, both physical and technical factors, such as alternate theories of gravity with birefringence, catalog contamination, and search algorithm limitations, could result in inferring […]

Spatially resolved molecular interstellar medium in a $z=6.6$ quasar host galaxy

Kavli Affiliate: Ran Wang | First 5 Authors: Jianan Li, Bram P. Venemans, Fabian Walter, Roberto Decarli, Ran Wang | Summary: We present high spatial resolution (0.4", 2.2kpc) observations of the CO(6-5), CO(7-6) and [CI] lines and dust continuum emission from the interstellar medium in the host galaxy of the quasar J0305$-$3150 at $z=6.6$. These, […]

GTP-bound E. coli FtsZ filaments are composed of Tense monomers: A DNP NMR study using interface detection.

Kavli Affiliate: Ann McDermott | Authors: Kelsey M McCoy and Ann E McDermott | Summary: FtsZ filaments are the major structural component of the bacterial Z-ring and are drivers of bacterial division. While crystal structures for FtsZ from some gram positive bacteria in the presence of GTP-analog like compounds suggest the possibility of a high […]

Long-range inhibition synchronizes and updates prefrontal task activity

Kavli Affiliate: Vikaas Sohal | Authors: Kathleen Cho, Jingcheng Shi and Vikaas Singh Sohal | Summary: Changes in patterns of activity within the medial prefrontal cortex enable rodents, non-human primates, and humans to update their behavior to adapt to changes in the environment, e.g., during cognitive tasks1–5. Within medial prefrontal cortex, inhibitory neurons expressing parvalbumin […]

The Andromeda Gamma-Ray Excess: Background Systematics of the Millisecond Pulsars and Dark Matter Interpretations

Kavli Affiliate: Shunsaku Horiuchi | First 5 Authors: Fabian Zimmer, Oscar Macias, Shin’ichiro Ando, Roland M. Crocker, Shunsaku Horiuchi | Summary: Since the discovery of an excess in gamma rays in the direction of M31, its cause has been unclear. Published interpretations focus on a dark matter or stellar related origin. Studies of a similar […]

KilonovaNet: Surrogate Models of Kilonova Spectra with Conditional Variational Autoencoders

Kavli Affiliate: Brian Nord | First 5 Authors: Kamilė Lukošiūtė, Geert Raaijmakers, Zoheyr Doctor, Marcelle Soares-Santos, Brian Nord | Summary: Detailed radiative transfer simulations of kilonova spectra play an essential role in multimessenger astrophysics. Using the simulation results in parameter inference studies requires building a surrogate model from the simulation outputs to use in algorithms […]
