$texttt{StreamSculptor}$: Hamiltonian Perturbation Theory for Stellar Streams in Flexible Potentials with Differentiable Simulations

Kavli Affiliate: David N. Spergel | First 5 Authors: Jacob Nibauer, Ana Bonaca, David N. Spergel, Adrian M. Price-Whelan, Jenny E. Greene | Summary: Stellar streams retain a memory of their gravitational interactions with small-scale perturbations. While perturbative models for streams have been formulated in action-angle coordinates, a direct transformation to these coordinates is only […]

Data-Efficient Low-Complexity Acoustic Scene Classification via Distilling and Progressive Pruning

Kavli Affiliate: Jia Liu | First 5 Authors: Bing Han, Wen Huang, Zhengyang Chen, Anbai Jiang, Pingyi Fan | Summary: The goal of the acoustic scene classification (ASC) task is to classify recordings into one of the predefined acoustic scene classes. However, in real-world scenarios, ASC systems often encounter challenges such as recording device mismatch, […]

Evidence for a shock-compressed magnetic field in the northwestern rim of Vela Jr. from X-ray polarimetry

Kavli Affiliate: Herman L. Marshall | First 5 Authors: Dmitry A. Prokhorov, Yi-Jung Yang, Riccardo Ferrazzoli, Jacco Vink, Patrick Slane | Summary: Synchrotron X-ray emission has been detected from nearly a dozen young supernova remnants (SNRs). X-rays of synchrotron origin exhibit linear polarization in a regular, non-randomly oriented magnetic field. The significant polarized X-ray emission […]

Observation of Quantum Criticality Class Crossover at the LaAlO$_3$/KTaO$_3$ (111) Interface

Kavli Affiliate: Jia Liu | First 5 Authors: Jia Liu, Long Cheng, Junkun Zha, Fei Ye, Xiaofang Zhai | Summary: In two-dimensional (2D) limit, the quantum fluctuation is significantly enhanced which could induce a quantum phase transition. Investigating the quantum criticality is an effective approach to elucidate the underlying physics of 2D superconductivity. Here we […]
