Quasar Luminosity Function at z = 7

Kavli Affiliate: Kohei Inayoshi | First 5 Authors: Yoshiki Matsuoka, Masafusa Onoue, Kazushi Iwasawa, Michael A. Strauss, Nobunari Kashikawa | Summary: We present the quasar luminosity function (LF) at $z = 7$, measured with 35 spectroscopically confirmed quasars at $6.55 < z < 7.15$. The sample of 22 quasars from the Subaru High-$z$ Exploration of […]

Inverse problems for Dirac operators with a constant delay less than half of the interval

Kavli Affiliate: Feng Wang | First 5 Authors: Feng Wang, Chuan-Fu Yang | Summary: In this work, we consider Dirac-type operators with a constant delay less than half of the interval and not less than two fifths of the interval. For our considered Dirac-type operators, an inverse spectral problem is studied. Specifically, reconstruction of two […]

The precursor of GRB211211A: a tide-induced giant quake?

Kavli Affiliate: Lijing Shao | First 5 Authors: Enping Zhou, Yong Gao, Yurui Zhou, Xiaoyu Lai, Lijing Shao | Summary: The equilibrium configuration of a solid strange star in the final inspiral phase with another compact object is generally discussed, and the starquake-related issue is revisited, for a special purpose to understand the precursor emission […]

The First X-ray Polarization Observation of the Black Hole X-ray Binary 4U 1630-47 in the Steep Power Law State

Kavli Affiliate: Herman L. Marshall | First 5 Authors: Nicole Rodriguez Cavero, Lorenzo Marra, Henric Krawczynski, Michal Dovčiak, Stefano Bianchi | Summary: The Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) observed the black hole X-ray binary 4U 1630-47 in the steep power law (or very high) state. The observations reveal a linear polarization degree of the 2-8 […]

Solving Cosine Similarity Underestimation between High Frequency Words by L2 Norm Discounting

Kavli Affiliate: Yi Zhou | First 5 Authors: Saeth Wannasuphoprasit, Yi Zhou, Danushka Bollegala | Summary: Cosine similarity between two words, computed using their contextualised token embeddings obtained from masked language models (MLMs) such as BERT has shown to underestimate the actual similarity between those words (Zhou et al., 2022). This similarity underestimation problem is […]

The emergence of human gastrulation upon in vitro attachment

Kavli Affiliate: Ali H. Brivanlou | Authors: Riccardo De Santis, Eleni Rice, Gist Croft, Min Yang, Edwin A. Rosado-Olivieri and Ali H. Brivanlou | Summary: While studied extensively in model systems, human gastrulation remains obscure. This process starts upon blastocyst implantation into the uterine wall, which is assumed to occur after 14 days post-fertilization. The […]

Supercurrent mediated by helical edge modes in bilayer graphene

Kavli Affiliate: Srijit Goswami | First 5 Authors: Prasanna Rout, Nikos Papadopoulos, Fernando Peñaranda, Kenji Watanabe, Takashi Taniguchi | Summary: Bilayer graphene encapsulated in tungsten diselenide can host a weak topological phase with pairs of helical edge states. The electrical tunability of this phase makes it an ideal platform to investigate unique topological effects at […]

Emergence of a spin microemulsion in spin-orbit coupled Bose-Einstein condensates

Kavli Affiliate: Leon Balents | First 5 Authors: Ethan C. McGarrigle, Kris T. Delaney, Leon Balents, Glenn H. Fredrickson | Summary: Recent experiments have shown how the interplay between Bose statistics and spin-orbit coupling (SOC) can lead to superfluid liquid crystalline (stripe) analogues in cold atomic gases. For isotropic SOC in two spatial dimensions, a […]
