Discovery of Quasi-periodic Eruptions in the Tidal Disruption Event and Extreme Coronal Line Emitter AT2022upj: implications for the QPE/TDE fraction and a connection to ECLEs

Kavli Affiliate: Erin Kara | First 5 Authors: Joheen Chakraborty, Erin Kara, Riccardo Arcodia, Johannes Buchner, Margherita Giustini | Summary: Quasi-periodic eruptions (QPEs) are recurring soft X-ray transients emerging from the vicinity of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) in nearby, low-mass galaxy nuclei; about ten QPE hosts have been identified thus far. Here we report the […]

Deciphering the Origins of the Elements Through Galactic Archeology

Kavli Affiliate: Anna Frebel | First 5 Authors: Khalil Farouqi, Anna Frebel, Friedrich-Karl Thielemann, , | Summary: Low-metallicity stars preserve the signatures of the first stellar nucleosynthesis events in the Galaxy, as their surface abundances reflect the composition of the interstellar medium from which they were born. Aside from primordial Big Bang nucleosynthesis, massive stars, […]

Measurements of the branching fractions of $Ξ_{c}^{+}to Σ^{+}K_{S}^{0}$, $Ξ_{c}^{+}to Ξ^{0}π^{+}$, and $Ξ_{c}^{+}to Ξ^{0}K^{+}$ at Belle and Belle II

Kavli Affiliate: T. Higuchi | First 5 Authors: Belle, Belle II Collaborations, :, I. Adachi, J. K. Ahn | Summary: Using 983.0 $rm{fb}^{-1}$ and 427.9 $rm{fb}^{-1}$ data samples collected with the Belle and Belle II detectors at the KEKB and SuperKEKB asymmetric energy $e^+e^-$ colliders, respectively, we present studies of the Cabibbo-favored $Xi_c^+$ decays ${Xi_{c}^{+}to […]

Strong LensIng and Cluster Evolution (SLICE) with JWST: Early Results, Lens Models, and High-Redshift Detections

Kavli Affiliate: Michael McDonald | First 5 Authors: Catherine Cerny, Guillaume Mahler, Keren Sharon, Mathilde Jauzac, Gourav Khullar | Summary: We leverage JWST’s superb resolution to derive strong lensing mass maps of 14 clusters, spanning a redshift range of $zsim0.25 – 1.06$ and a mass range of $M_{500}sim2-12 times 10^{14}M_odot$, from the Strong LensIng and […]

ProDehaze: Prompting Diffusion Models Toward Faithful Image Dehazing

Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Tianwen Zhou, Jing Wang, Songtao Wu, Kuanhong Xu, | Summary: Recent approaches using large-scale pretrained diffusion models for image dehazing improve perceptual quality but often suffer from hallucination issues, producing unfaithful dehazed image to the original one. To mitigate this, we propose ProDehaze, a framework that employs […]

A “Black Hole Star” Reveals the Remarkable Gas-Enshrouded Hearts of the Little Red Dots

Kavli Affiliate: Robert A. Simcoe | First 5 Authors: Rohan P. Naidu, Jorryt Matthee, Harley Katz, Anna de Graaff, Pascal Oesch | Summary: The physical processes that led to the formation of billion solar mass black holes within the first 700 million years of cosmic time remain a puzzle. Several theoretical scenarios have been proposed […]

Subaru Hyper-Supreme Cam observations of IC 1396: Source catalogue, member population, and sub-clusters of the complex

Kavli Affiliate: Gregory J. Herczeg | First 5 Authors: Swagat R Das, Saumya Gupta, Jessy Jose, Manash Samal, Gregory J. Herczeg | Summary: To identify member populations of IC 1396, we employ the random forest (RF) classifier of machine learning technique. Random forest classifier is an ensemble of individual decision trees suitable for large, high-dimensional […]
