The proto-galaxy of Milky Way-mass haloes in the FIRE simulations

Kavli Affiliate: Lina Necib | First 5 Authors: Danny Horta, Emily C. Cunningham, Robyn Sanderson, Kathryn V. Johnston, Alis Deason | Summary: Observational studies are finding stars believed to be relics of the earliest stages of hierarchical mass assembly of the Milky Way (i.e., proto-Galaxy). In this work, we contextualize these findings by studying the […]

Selective Manipulation and Tunneling Spectroscopy of Broken-Symmetry Quantum Hall States in a Hybrid-edge Quantum Point Contact

Kavli Affiliate: Ke Wang | First 5 Authors: , , , , | Summary: We present a device architecture of hybrid-edge and dual-gated quantum point contact. We demonstrate improved electrostatic control over the separation, position, and coupling of each broken-symmetry compressible strip in graphene. Via low-temperature magneto-transport measurement, we demonstrate selective manipulation over the evolution, […]

Photometric Selection of Unobscured QSOs in the Ecliptic Poles: KMTNet in the South Field and Pan-STARRS in the North Field

Kavli Affiliate: Luis C. Ho | First 5 Authors: Woowon Byun, Minjin Kim, Yun-Kyeong Sheen, Dongseob Lee, Luis C. Ho | Summary: We search for quasi-stellar objects (QSOs) in a wide area of the south ecliptic pole (SEP) field, which has been and will continue to be intensively explored through various space missions. For this […]

Elentári: A $zsim3.3$ Proto-Supercluster in COSMOS

Kavli Affiliate: Michael McDonald | First 5 Authors: Ben Forrest, Brian C. Lemaux, Ekta Shah, Priti Staab, Ian McConachie | Summary: Motivated by spectroscopic confirmation of three overdense regions in the COSMOS field at $zsim3.35$, we analyze the uniquely deep multi-wavelength photometry and extensive spectroscopy available in the field to identify any further related structure. […]

Sub-second periodic radio oscillations in a microquasar

Kavli Affiliate: Feng Yuan | First 5 Authors: Pengfu Tian, Ping Zhang, Wei Wang, Pei Wang, Xiaohui Sun | Summary: Powerful relativistic jets are one of the ubiquitous features of accreting black holes in all scales. GRS 1915+105 is a well-known fast-spinning black-hole X-ray binary with a relativistic jet, termed as a “microquasar”, as indicated […]

How Does Diffusion Influence Pretrained Language Models on Out-of-Distribution Data?

Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Huazheng Wang, Daixuan Cheng, Haifeng Sun, Jingyu Wang, Qi Qi | Summary: Transformer-based pretrained language models (PLMs) have achieved great success in modern NLP. An important advantage of PLMs is good out-of-distribution (OOD) robustness. Recently, diffusion models have attracted a lot of work to apply diffusion to […]

Reinforcement Learning for Sequential Decoding of Generalized LDPC Codes

Kavli Affiliate: Salman Habib | First 5 Authors: Salman Habib, David G. M. Mitchell, , , | Summary: In this work, we propose reinforcement learning (RL) for sequential decoding of moderate length generalized low-density parity-check (GLDPC) codes. Here, sequential decoding refers to scheduling all the generalized constraint nodes (GCNs) and single parity-check nodes (SPCNs) of […]
