Kavli Affiliate: Wendy L. Freedman | First 5 Authors: Wendy L. Freedman, Barry F. Madore, , , | Summary: Cepheids have been the cornerstone of the extragalactic distance scale for a century. With high-quality data, these luminous supergiants exhibit a small dispersion in their Leavitt (period-luminosity) relation, particularly at longer wavelengths, and few methods rival […]
Kavli Affiliate: Wendy L. Freedman | First 5 Authors: Syed A. Uddin, Christopher R. Burns, Mark M. Phillips, Nicholas B. Suntzeff, Wendy L. Freedman | Summary: We present an analysis of Type Ia Supernovae (SNe~Ia) from both the Carnegie Supernova Project~I (CSP-I) and II (CSP-II), and extend the Hubble diagram from the optical to the […]

Kavli Affiliate: Gordan Krnjaic, Albert Stebbins | First 5 Authors: Dan Hooper, Aurora Ireland, Gordan Krnjaic, Albert Stebbins, | Summary: There is controversy surrounding the origin and evolution of our universe’s largest supermassive black holes (SMBHs). In this study, we consider the possibility that some of these black holes formed from the direct collapse of […]

Kavli Affiliate: David W. Miller | First 5 Authors: Alexander Bogatskiy, Timothy Hoffman, David W. Miller, Jan T. Offermann, Xiaoyang Liu | Summary: PELICAN is a novel permutation equivariant and Lorentz invariant or covariant aggregator network designed to overcome common limitations found in architectures applied to particle physics problems. Compared to many approaches that use […]
Kavli Affiliate: Salman Habib | First 5 Authors: Salman Habib, David G. M. Mitchell, , , | Summary: In this work, we propose reinforcement learning (RL) for sequential decoding of moderate length generalized low-density parity-check (GLDPC) codes. Here, sequential decoding refers to scheduling all the generalized constraint nodes (GCNs) and single parity-check nodes (SPCNs) of […]
