Kavli Affiliate: W. L. Kimmy Wu | First 5 Authors: Silvia Galli, W. L. Kimmy Wu, Karim Benabed, François Bouchet, Thomas M. Crawford | Summary: Accurate cosmological parameter estimates using polarization data of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) put stringent requirements on map calibration, as highlighted in the recent results from the Planck satellite. In […]
Kavli Affiliate: Peter Graham | First 5 Authors: Pete Barry, Karl Berggren, A. Baha Balantekin, John Bollinger, Ray Bunker | Summary: A subset of QuantISED Sensor PIs met virtually on May 26, 2020 to discuss a response to a charge by the DOE Office of High Energy Physics. In this document, we summarize the QuantISED […]
Kavli Affiliate: Matthew Fisher | First 5 Authors: Tobias Hinz, Matthew Fisher, Oliver Wang, Eli Shechtman, Stefan Wermter | Summary: We introduce CharacterGAN, a generative model that can be trained on only a few samples (8 – 15) of a given character. Our model generates novel poses based on keypoint locations, which can be modified […]
Kavli Affiliate: Scott A. Hughes | First 5 Authors: Scott A. Hughes, Niels Warburton, Gaurav Khanna, Alvin J. K. Chua, Michael L. Katz | Summary: We compute adiabatic waveforms for extreme mass-ratio inspirals (EMRIs) by "stitching" together a long inspiral waveform from a sequence of waveform snapshots, each of which corresponds to a particular geodesic […]
Kavli Affiliate: Roland K. Vanderspek | First 5 Authors: Mma Ikwut-Ukwa, Joseph E. Rodriguez, Samuel N. Quinn, George Zhou, Andrew Vanderburg | Summary: We report the discovery of two short-period massive giant planets from NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS). Both systems, TOI-558 (TIC 207110080) and TOI-559 (TIC 209459275), were identified from the 30-minute cadence […]
Kavli Affiliate: Michael Wimmer | First 5 Authors: Haining Pan, Chun-Xiao Liu, Michael Wimmer, Sankar Das Sarma, | Summary: Majorana zero modes can appear at the wire ends of a 1D topological superconductor and manifest themselves as a quantized zero-bias conductance peak in the tunneling spectroscopy of normal-superconductor junctions. However, in superconductor-semiconductor hybrid nanowires, zero-bias […]
Kavli Affiliate: Lina Necib | First 5 Authors: Lina Necib, Tongyan Lin, , , | Summary: Measuring the escape velocity of the Milky Way is critical in obtaining the mass of the Milky Way, understanding the dark matter velocity distribution, and building the dark matter density profile. In Necib $&$ Lin (2021), we introduced a […]
Kavli Affiliate: Frank Wilczek | First 5 Authors: Lu-Chuan Liu, Luo-Yuan Qu, Cheng Wu, Jordan Cotler, Fei Ma | Summary: Interferometers are widely used in imaging technologies to achieve enhanced spatial resolution, but require that the incoming photons be indistinguishable. In previous work, we built and analyzed color erasure detectors which expand the scope of […]
Kavli Affiliate: Huawei Zhang | First 5 Authors: Fangzhou Ren, Richard de Grijs, Huawei Zhang, Licai Deng, Xiaodian Chen | Summary: We present a catalog of eclipsing binaries in the northern Galactic Plane from the Kiso Wide-Field Camera Intensive Survey of the Galactic Plane (KISOGP). We visually identified 7055 eclipsing binaries spread across $sim$330 square […]
Kavli Affiliate: Shunsaku Horiuchi | First 5 Authors: Natalia Tapia Arellano, Shunsaku Horiuchi, , , | Summary: Measuring the solar neutrino flux over gigayear timescales could provide a new window to inform the Solar Standard Model as well as studies of the Earth’s long-term climate. We demonstrate the feasibility of measuring the time-evolution of the […]
