$Λ$CDM: Much more than we expected, but now less than what we want

Kavli Affiliate: Michael S. Turner | First 5 Authors: Michael S. Turner, , , , | Summary: The $rmLambda$CDM cosmological model is remarkable: with just 6 parameters it describes the evolution of the Universe from a very early time when all structures were quantum fluctuations on subatomic scales to the present, and it is consistent […]

Calibration of the MaGIXS experiment II: Flight Instrument Calibration

Kavli Affiliate: Ralf K. Heilmann | First 5 Authors: P. S. Athiray, Amy R. Winebarger, Patrick Champey, Ken Kobayashi, Sabrina Savage | Summary: The Marshall Grazing Incidence X-ray Spectrometer (MaGIXS) is a sounding rocket experiment that observes the soft X-ray spectrum of the Sun from 6.0 – 24 Angstrom (0.5 – 2.0 keV), successfully launched […]

Do cooling and heating functions actually exist?

Kavli Affiliate: Nickolay Y. Gnedin | First 5 Authors: David Robinson, Camille Avestruz, Nickolay Y. Gnedin, , | Summary: Cooling and heating functions describe how radiative processes impact the thermal state of the gas as a function of its temperature and other physical properties. In a most general case they depend on the detailed distributions […]

Video Pose Distillation for Few-Shot, Fine-Grained Sports Action Recognition

Kavli Affiliate: Matthew Fisher | First 5 Authors: James Hong, Matthew Fisher, Michaël Gharbi, Kayvon Fatahalian, | Summary: Human pose is a useful feature for fine-grained sports action understanding. However, pose estimators are often unreliable when run on sports video due to domain shift and factors such as motion blur and occlusions. This leads to […]

Three roads to the geometric constraint formulation of gravitational theories with boundaries

Kavli Affiliate: J. S. Villasenor | First 5 Authors: Fernando Barbero, Marc Basquens, Valle Varo, Eduardo J. S. Villaseñor, | Summary: The Hamiltonian description of mechanical or field models defined by singular Lagrangians plays a central role in physics. A number of methods are known for this purpose, the most popular of them being the […]

Probing Extremal Gravitational-Wave Events with Coarse-Grained Likelihoods

Kavli Affiliate: Daniel E. Holz | First 5 Authors: Reed Essick, Amanda Farah, Shanika Galaudage, Colm Talbot, Maya Fishbach | Summary: As catalogs of gravitational-wave transients grow, new records are set for the most extreme systems observed to date. The most massive observed black holes probe the physics of pair instability supernovae while providing clues […]

Subregion Spectrum Form Factor via Pseudo Entropy

Kavli Affiliate: Masahiro Nozaki | First 5 Authors: Kanato Goto, Masahiro Nozaki, Kotaro Tamaoka, , | Summary: We introduce a subsystem generalization of the spectral form factor via pseudo entropy, the von-Neumann entropy for the reduced transition matrix. We consider a transition matrix between the thermofield double state and its time-evolved state in two-dimensional conformal […]
