Kavli Affiliate: Eric Miller | First 5 Authors: Fan Tian, Mirjeta Pasha, Misha E. Kilmer, Eric Miller, Abani Patra | Summary: This paper is concerned with the problem of recovering third-order tensor data from limited samples. A recently proposed tensor decomposition (BMD) method has been shown to efficiently compress third-order spatiotemporal data. Using the BMD, […]
Kavli Affiliate: David P. Huenemoerder | First 5 Authors: Sean J. Gunderson, Kenneth G. Gayley, David P. Huenemoerder, Pragati Pradhan, Nathan A. Miller | Summary: We fit the high resolution textit{Chandra} X-ray spectra of the O supergiant $zeta$ Puppis using the variable boundary condition (VBC) line model to test the stability of its mass-loss rate […]
Kavli Affiliate: Peter Ford | First 5 Authors: Grgur Kovač, Rémy Portelas, Masataka Sawayama, Peter Ford Dominey, Pierre-Yves Oudeyer | Summary: The standard way to study Large Language Models (LLMs) through benchmarks or psychology questionnaires is to provide many different queries from similar minimal contexts (e.g. multiple choice questions). However, due to LLM’s highly context-dependent […]
Kavli Affiliate: Robert A. Simcoe | First 5 Authors: Leah Bigwood, Anna-Christina Eilers, Robert A. Simcoe, , | Summary: Observations of high-redshift quasars hosting billion solar mass black holes at $zgtrsim6$ challenge our understanding of early supermassive black hole (SMBH) growth. In this work, we conduct a near-infrared spectroscopic study of $19$ quasars at $6.2lesssim […]
Kavli Affiliate: Erin Kara | First 5 Authors: Dheeraj R. Pasham, Francesco Tombesi, Petra Sukova, Michal Zajacek, Suvendu Rakshit | Summary: Binaries containing a compact object orbiting a supermassive black hole are thought to be precursors of gravitational wave events, but their identification has been extremely challenging. Here, we report quasi-periodic variability in X-ray absorption […]
Kavli Affiliate: Dheeraj R. Pasham | First 5 Authors: Dheeraj R. Pasham, Eric R. Coughlin, Michal Zajacek, Itai Linial, Petra Sukova | Summary: Quasi-periodic Eruptions (QPEs) represent a novel class of extragalactic X-ray transients that are known to repeat at roughly regular intervals of a few hours to days. Their underlying physical mechanism is a […]
Kavli Affiliate: Dheeraj R. Pasham | First 5 Authors: Dheeraj R. Pasham, Michal Zajacek, C. J. Nixon, Eric R. Coughlin, Marzena Sniegowska | Summary: An accretion disk formed around a supermassive black hole (SMBH) after it disrupts a star is expected to be initially misaligned with respect to the black hole’s equatorial plane. This misalignment […]
Kavli Affiliate: Kiyoshi W. Masui | First 5 Authors: Ryan Mckinven, Mohit Bhardwaj, Tarraneh Eftekhari, Charles D. Kilpatrick, Aida Kirichenko | Summary: Fast radio bursts (FRBs) last for milliseconds and arrive at Earth from cosmological distances. While their origin(s) and emission mechanism(s) are presently unknown, their signals bear similarities with the much less luminous radio […]
Kavli Affiliate: Erin Kara | First 5 Authors: Joheen Chakraborty, Riccardo Arcodia, Erin Kara, Giovanni Miniutti, Margherita Giustini | Summary: Quasi-Periodic Eruptions (QPEs) are luminous X-ray outbursts recurring on hour timescales, observed from the nuclei of a growing handful of nearby low-mass galaxies. Their physical origin is still debated, and usually modeled as (a) accretion […]
