Discovery of a protocluster core associated with an enormous Ly$α$ Nebula at $z = 2.3$

Kavli Affiliate: Ran Wang | First 5 Authors: Qiong Li, Ran Wang, Helmut Dannerbauer, Zheng Cai, Bjorn Emonts | Summary: The MAMMOTH-1 nebula at $z=2.317$ is an enormous Ly$alpha$ nebula (ELAN) extending to a $sim$440 kpc scale at the center of the extreme galaxy overdensity BOSS 1441. In this paper, we present observations of the […]

TOI-2076 and TOI-1807: Two young, comoving planetary systems within 50 pc identified by TESS that are ideal candidates for further follow-up

Kavli Affiliate: Roland K. Vanderspek | First 5 Authors: Christina Hedges, Alex Hughes, Steven Giacalone, George Zhou, Trevor J. David | Summary: We report the discovery of two planetary systems around comoving stars; TOI-2076 (TIC 27491137) and TOI-1807 (TIC 180695581). TOI-2076 is a nearby (41.9 pc) multi-planetary system orbiting a young (204$pm$50 Myr), bright (K […]

Safe Online Gain Optimization for Variable Impedance Control

Kavli Affiliate: Xiang Zhang | First 5 Authors: Changhao Wang, Zhian Kuang, Xiang Zhang, Masayoshi Tomizuka, | Summary: Smooth behaviors are preferable for many contact-rich manipulation tasks. Impedance control arises as an effective way to regulate robot movements by mimicking a mass-spring-damping system. Consequently, the robot behavior can be determined by the impedance gains. However, […]

Interpretable contrastive word mover’s embedding

Kavli Affiliate: Eric Miller | First 5 Authors: Ruijie Jiang, Julia Gouvea, Eric Miller, David Hammer, Shuchin Aeron | Summary: This paper shows that a popular approach to the supervised embedding of documents for classification, namely, contrastive Word Mover’s Embedding, can be significantly enhanced by adding interpretability. This interpretability is achieved by incorporating a clustering […]

X-ray Simulations of Polar Gas in Accreting Supermassive Black Holes

Kavli Affiliate: Claudio Ricci | First 5 Authors: Jeffrey McKaig, Claudio Ricci, Stéphane Paltani, Shobita Satyapal, | Summary: Recent observations have shown that a large portion of the mid–infrared (MIR) spectrum of active galactic nuclei (AGN) stems from the polar regions. In this paper, we investigate the effects of this polar gas on the X-ray […]
