Kavli Affiliate: George R. Ricker | First 5 Authors: Rahul Jayaraman, Swetlana Hubrig, Daniel L. Holdsworth, Markus Schöller, Silva Järvinen | Summary: We report the detection and characterization of a new magnetospheric star, HD 135348, based on photometric and spectropolarimetric observations. The TESS light curve of this star exhibited variations consistent with stars known to […]
Kavli Affiliate: Yingjie Peng | First 5 Authors: Joanna M. Piotrowska, Asa F. L. Bluck, Roberto Maiolino, Yingjie Peng, | Summary: In this paper we investigate how massive central galaxies cease their star formation by comparing theoretical predictions from cosmological simulations: EAGLE, Illustris and IllustrisTNG with observations of the local Universe from the Sloan Digital […]
Kavli Affiliate: Yingjie Peng | First 5 Authors: Rui Shi, Wenting Wang, Zhaozhou Li, Jiaxin Han, Jingjing Shi | Summary: We propose a random forest (RF) machine learning approach to determine the accreted stellar mass fractions ($f_mathrm{acc}$) of central galaxies, based on various dark matter halo and galaxy features. The RF is trained and tested […]
Kavli Affiliate: Sven Herrmann | First 5 Authors: Elena Orlando, Eugenio Bottacini, Alexander Moiseev, Arash Bodaghee, Werner Collmar | Summary: The sky at MeV energies is currently poorly explored. Here we present an innovative mission concept and we outline the scientific motivation for combining a coded mask and a Compton telescope. The Galactic Explorer with […]
Kavli Affiliate: Seth Digel | First 5 Authors: Elena Orlando, Eugenio Bottacini, Alexander Moiseev, Arash Bodaghee, Werner Collmar | Summary: The sky at MeV energies is currently poorly explored. Here we present an innovative mission concept that builds on and improves past and currently proposed missions at such energies. We outline the motivations for combining […]
Kavli Affiliate: Zhuo Li | First 5 Authors: Zhuo Li, , , , | Summary: Capturing long-range dependency and modeling long temporal contexts is proven to benefit speaker verification tasks. In this paper, we propose the combination of the Hierarchical-Split block(HS-block) and the Depthwise Separable Self-Attention(DSSA) module to capture richer multi-range context speaker features from […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Kai Liu, Keke Bai, Jing Wang, Juntao Song, Ying Liu | Summary: Antimonene is a novel two-dimensional topological semiconductor material with strain driven tunable electronic structure for future electronic and spintronic devices, but the growth of clean antimonene is not fully understood. In this work, the growth […]
Kavli Affiliate: David A. Principe | First 5 Authors: Steven M. Silverberg, Hans Moritz Guenther, Jinyoung Serena Kim, David A. Principe, Scott J. Wolk | Summary: Empirically, the estimated lifetime of a typical protoplanetary disk is $<5-10$ Myr. However, the disk lifetimes required to produce a variety of observed exoplanetary systems may exceed this timescale. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Frank Wilczek | First 5 Authors: Frank Wilczek, , , , | Summary: Handedness, or chirality, has been a continuing source of inspiration across a wide range of scientific problems. After a quick review of some important, instructive historical examples, I present three contemporary case studies involving sophisticated applications of chirality at the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Renxin Xu | First 5 Authors: Wei-Yang Wang, Jin-Chen Jiang, Jiguang Lu, Heng Xu, Jiangwei Xu | Summary: Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are millisecond-duration signals, to be highly dispersed at distant galaxies, the physical origin of which is still challenging. Coherent curvature emission by bunches powered, e.g., by starquakes, has already been proposed […]
