Kavli Affiliate: Feng Yuan | First 5 Authors: Fu-Guo Xie, Ramesh Narayan, Feng Yuan, , | Summary: An important parameter in the theory of hot accretion flows around black holes is $delta$, which describes the fraction of “viscously” dissipated energy in the accretion flow that directly heats the electrons. The radiative efficiency of a hot […]
Kavli Affiliate: Ke Wang | First 5 Authors: Ke Wang, Harshitha Machiraju, Oh-Hyeon Choung, Michael Herzog, Pascal Frossard | Summary: Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have achieved superhuman performance in multiple vision tasks, especially image classification. However, unlike humans, CNNs leverage spurious features, such as background information to make decisions. This tendency creates different problems in […]
Kavli Affiliate: Frank Wilczek | First 5 Authors: Martin Greiter, Frank Wilczek, , , | Summary: The quantum-mechanical description of assemblies of particles whose motion is confined to two (or one) spatial dimensions offers many possibilities that are distinct from bosons and fermions. We call such particles anyons. The simplest anyons are parameterized by an […]
Kavli Affiliate: Kohei Inayoshi | First 5 Authors: Wenxiu Li, Kohei Inayoshi, Masafusa Onoue, Daisuke Toyouchi, | Summary: The early evolution of the quasar luminosity function (QLF) and black hole mass function (BHMF) encodes key information on the physics determining the radiative and accretion processes of supermassive black holes (BHs) in high-$z$ quasars. Although the […]

Kavli Affiliate: Erin Kara | First 5 Authors: Kevin B. Burdge, Kareem El-Badry, Thomas R. Marsh, Saul Rappaport, Warren R. Brown | Summary: In over a thousand known cataclysmic variables (CVs), where a white dwarf is accreting from a hydrogen-rich star, only a dozen have orbital periods below 75 minutes. One way to achieve these […]
Kavli Affiliate: Daniel R. Wilkins | First 5 Authors: Collin D. Lewin, Erin Kara, Daniel R. Wilkins, Guglielmo Mastroserio, Javier A. García | Summary: Ark 564 is an extreme high-Eddington Narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxy, known for being one of the brightest, most rapidly variable soft X-ray AGN, and for having one of the lowest temperature […]

Kavli Affiliate: Maria Elena Monzani | First 5 Authors: Antonio Boveia, Thomas Y. Chen, Caterina Doglioni, Alex Drlica-Wagner, Stefania Gori | Summary: The fundamental nature of Dark Matter is a central theme of the Snowmass 2021 process, extending across all frontiers. In the last decade, advances in detector technology, analysis techniques and theoretical modeling have […]
