Kavli Affiliate: Herman L. Marshall | First 5 Authors: Niccolò Bucciantini, Riccardo Ferrazzoli, Matteo Bachetti, John Rankin, Niccolò Di Lalla | Summary: The Crab pulsar and its nebula are among the most studied astrophysical systems, and constitute one of the most promising environments where high energy processes and particle acceleration can be investigated. They are […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jia Liu | First 5 Authors: Jia Liu, Ran Cheng, Yaochu Jin, , | Summary: Deep neural networks have been found vulnerable to adversarial attacks, thus raising potentially concerns in security-sensitive contexts. To address this problem, recent research has investigated the adversarial robustness of deep neural networks from the architectural point of view. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Roger W. Romani | First 5 Authors: Roger W. Romani, D. Kandel, Alexei V. Filippenko, Thomas G. Brink, WeiKang Zheng | Summary: We describe Keck-telescope spectrophotometry and imaging of the companion of the “black widow" pulsar PSR~J0952$-$0607, the fastest known spinning neutron star (NS) in the disk of the Milky Way. The companion […]
Kavli Affiliate: Salman Habib | First 5 Authors: Solène Chabanier, J. D. Emberson, Zarija Lukić, Jesus Pulido, Salman Habib | Summary: We compare two state-of-the-art numerical codes to study the overall accuracy in modeling the intergalactic medium and reproducing Lyman-$alpha$ forest observables for DESI and high-resolution data sets. The codes employ different approaches to solving […]
Kavli Affiliate: Erin Kara | First 5 Authors: Christos Panagiotou, Iossif Papadakis, Erin Kara, Elias Kammoun, Michal Dovčiak | Summary: The UV/optical variability of AGN has long been thought to be driven by the X-ray illumination of the accretion disk. However, recent multi-wavelength campaigns of nearby Seyfert galaxies seem to challenge this paradigm, with an […]
Kavli Affiliate: George Efstathiou | First 5 Authors: Roger de Belsunce, Steven Gratton, George Efstathiou, , | Summary: We present constraints on primordial B modes from large angular scale cosmic microwave background polarisation anisotropies measured with the Planck satellite. To remove Galactic polarised foregrounds, we use a Bayesian parametric component separation method, modelling synchrotron radiation […]
Kavli Affiliate: Zhuo Li | First 5 Authors: Zhuo Li, Runqiu Xiao, Hangting Chen, Zhenduo Zhao, Zihan Zhang | Summary: This paper describes the systems developed by the HCCL team for the NIST 2021 speaker recognition evaluation (NIST SRE21).We first explore various state-of-the-art speaker embedding extractors combined with a novel circle loss to obtain discriminative […]
Kavli Affiliate: Huawei Zhang | First 5 Authors: Kunran Xu, Huawei Zhang, Yishi Li, Yuhao Zhang, Rui Lai | Summary: Tiny machine learning (TinyML), executing AI workloads on resource and power strictly restricted systems, is an important and challenging topic. This brief firstly presents an extremely tiny backbone to construct high efficiency CNN models for […]

Kavli Affiliate: Robert M. Wald | First 5 Authors: Po-Ning Chen, Daniel Paraizo, Robert M. Wald, Mu-Tao Wang, Ye-Kai Wang | Summary: We introduce a notion of "cross-section continuity" as a criterion for the viability of definitions of angular momentum, $J$, at null infinity: If a sequence of cross-sections, ${mathcal C}_n$, of null infinity converges […]
