X-ray eruptions every 22 days from the nucleus of a nearby galaxy

Kavli Affiliate: Ronald Remillard | First 5 Authors: Muryel Guolo, Dheeraj R. Pasham, Michal Zajaček, Eric R. Coughlin, Suvi Gezari | Summary: Galactic nuclei showing recurrent phases of activity and quiescence have recently been discovered, with recurrence times as short as a few hours to a day — known as quasi-periodic X-ray eruption (QPE) sources […]

Provably safe systems: the only path to controllable AGI

Kavli Affiliate: Max Tegmark | First 5 Authors: Max Tegmark, Steve Omohundro, , , | Summary: We describe a path to humanity safely thriving with powerful Artificial General Intelligences (AGIs) by building them to provably satisfy human-specified requirements. We argue that this will soon be technically feasible using advanced AI for formal verification and mechanistic […]

Magnetic structures and turbulence in SN 1006 revealed with imaging X-ray polarimetry

Kavli Affiliate: Herman L. Marshall | First 5 Authors: Ping Zhou, Dmitry Prokhorov, Riccardo Ferrazzoli, Yi-Jung Yang, Patrick Slane | Summary: Young supernova remnants (SNRs) strongly modify surrounding magnetic fields, which in turn play an essential role in accelerating cosmic rays (CRs). X-ray polarization measurements probe magnetic field morphology and turbulence at the immediate acceleration […]

Gas Clumping in the Outskirts of Galaxy Clusters, an Assessment of the Sensitivity of STAR-X

Kavli Affiliate: Michael McDonald | First 5 Authors: Christian T. Norseth, Daniel R. Wik, John A. ZuHone, Eric D. Miller, Marshall W. Bautz | Summary: In the outskirts of galaxy clusters, entropy profiles measured from X-ray observations of the hot intracluster medium (ICM) drops off unexpectedly. One possible explanation for this effect is gas clumping, […]
