Kavli Affiliate: Max Tegmark | First 5 Authors: Ziming Liu, Varun Madhavan, Max Tegmark, , | Summary: We present a machine learning algorithm that discovers conservation laws from differential equations, both numerically (parametrized as neural networks) and symbolically, ensuring their functional independence (a non-linear generalization of linear independence). Our independence module can be viewed as […]

Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: Vicente Rodriguez-Gomez, Shy Genel, S. Michael Fall, Annalisa Pillepich, Marc Huertas-Company | Summary: We use the TNG100 simulation of the IllustrisTNG project to investigate the stellar specific angular momenta ($j_{ast}$) of $sim$12~000 central galaxies at $z=0$ in a full cosmological context, with stellar masses ($M_{ast}$) ranging from […]

Kavli Affiliate: David Shoemaker | First 5 Authors: Kristi Engel, Tiffany Lewis, Marco Stein Muzio, Tonia M. Venters, Markus Ahlers | Summary: The last decade has brought about a profound transformation in multimessenger science. Ten years ago, facilities had been built or were under construction that would eventually discover the nature of objects in our […]

Kavli Affiliate: Salvatore Vitale | First 5 Authors: Stefan W. Ballmer, Rana Adhikari, Leonardo Badurina, Duncan A. Brown, Swapan Chattopadhyay | Summary: The next generation of gravitational-wave observatories can explore a wide range of fundamental physics phenomena throughout the history of the universe. These phenomena include access to the universe’s binary black hole population throughout […]

Kavli Affiliate: Salvatore Vitale | First 5 Authors: Masha Baryakhtar, Regina Caputo, Djuna Croon, Kerstin Perez, Emanuele Berti | Summary: Exploring dark matter via observations of extreme astrophysical environments — defined here as heavy compact objects such as white dwarfs, neutron stars, and black holes, as well as supernovae and compact object merger events — […]

Kavli Affiliate: Avi Shporer | First 5 Authors: Prajwal Niraula, Avi Shporer, Ian Wong, Julien de Wit, | Summary: Space-based photometric missions widely use statistical validation tools for vetting transiting planetary candidates, particularly when other traditional methods of planet confirmation are unviable. In this paper, we refute the planetary nature of three previously validated planets […]

Kavli Affiliate: Kiyoshi Masui | First 5 Authors: Haochen Wang, Juan Mena-Parra, Tianyue Chen, Kiyoshi Masui, | Summary: Observations of the redshifted 21-cm signal emitted by neutral hydrogen represent a promising probe of large-scale structure in the universe. However, cosmological 21-cm signal is challenging to observe due to astrophysical foregrounds which are several orders of […]

Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger, Lina Necib | First 5 Authors: Arka Banerjee, Kimberly K. Boddy, Francis-Yan Cyr-Racine, Adrienne L. Erickcek, Daniel Gilman | Summary: Over the past several decades, unexpected astronomical discoveries have been fueling a new wave of particle model building and are inspiring the next generation of ever-more-sophisticated simulations to reveal the nature […]
