X-ray selected broad absorption line quasars in SDSS-V: BALs and non-BALs span the same range of X-ray properties

Kavli Affiliate: Claudio Ricci | First 5 Authors: , , , , | Summary: Broad absorption line (BAL) quasars are often considered X-ray weak relative to their optical/UV luminosity, whether intrinsically (i.e., the coronal emission is fainter) or due to large column densities of absorbing material. The SDSS-V is providing optical spectroscopy for samples of […]

Benchmarking spike source localization algorithms in high density probes

Kavli Affiliate: Jia Liu | First 5 Authors: Hao Zhao, Hao Zhao, , , | Summary: Estimating neuron location from extracellular recordings is essential for developing advanced brain-machine interfaces. Accurate neuron localization improves spike sorting, which involves detecting action potentials and assigning them to individual neurons. It also helps monitor probe drift, which affects long-term […]

Probing Purely Inelastic Scalar Dark Matter Across Colliders and Gravitational Wave Observatories

Kavli Affiliate: Jia Liu | First 5 Authors: Jinhui Guo, Jinhui Guo, , , | Summary: We propose and study a purely inelastic scalar dark matter model, where two real scalars-dark matter $phi_1$ and its excited partner $phi_2$ interact with the Standard Model via a Higgs portal. After mass diagonalization, only inelastic couplings remain, allowing […]

Scalarized neutron stars with a highly relativistic core in scalar-tensor gravity

Kavli Affiliate: Lijing Shao | First 5 Authors: Peixiang Ji, Peixiang Ji, , , | Summary: Compact stars in scalar-tensor gravity have been extensively investigated, but relatively few studies have focused on highly relativistic neutron stars (NSs) with an extremely dense core region where the trace of the energy-momentum tensor reverses its sign. In this […]

ATLAS: A Self-Supervised and Cross-Stage Netlist Power Model for Fine-Grained Time-Based Layout Power Analysis

Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Wenkai Li, Wenkai Li, , , | Summary: Accurate power prediction in VLSI design is crucial for effective power optimization, especially as designs get transformed from gate-level netlist to layout stages. However, traditional accurate power simulation requires time-consuming back-end processing and simulation steps, which significantly impede design […]
