MUSSES2020J: The Earliest Discovery of a Fast Blue Ultraluminous Transient at Redshift 1.063

Kavli Affiliate: Naoki Yasuda | First 5 Authors: Ji-an Jiang, Naoki Yasuda, Keiichi Maeda, Nozomu Tominaga, Mamoru Doi | Summary: In this Letter, we report the discovery of an ultraluminous fast-evolving transient in rest-frame UV wavelengths, MUSSES2020J, soon after its occurrence by using the Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC) mounted on the 8.2 m Subaru telescope. The […]

Study of Time Evolution of Thermal and Non-Thermal Emission from an M-Class Solar Flare

Kavli Affiliate: Tadayuki Takahashi | First 5 Authors: Shunsaku Nagasawa, Tomoko Kawate, Noriyuki Narukage, Tadayuki Takahashi, Amir Caspi | Summary: We conduct a wide-band X-ray spectral analysis in the energy range of 1.5-100 keV to study the time evolution of the M7.6 class flare of 2016 July 23, with the Miniature X-ray Solar Spectrometer (MinXSS) […]

Lesion classification by model-based feature extraction: A differential affine invariant model of soft tissue elasticity

Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Weiguo Cao, Marc J. Pomeroy, Zhengrong Liang, Yongfeng Gao, Yongyi Shi | Summary: The elasticity of soft tissues has been widely considered as a characteristic property to differentiate between healthy and vicious tissues and, therefore, motivated several elasticity imaging modalities, such as Ultrasound Elastography, Magnetic Resonance Elastography, […]

Testing for spectral index variations in polarised CMB foregrounds

Kavli Affiliate: George Efstathiou | First 5 Authors: Roger de Belsunce, Steven Gratton, George Efstathiou, , | Summary: We present a Bayesian parametric component separation method for polarised microwave sky maps. We solve jointly for the primary cosmic microwave background (CMB) signal and the main Galactic polarised foreground components. For the latter, we consider electron-synchrotron […]

Improved Constraints on Cosmic Birefringence from the WMAP and Planck Cosmic Microwave Background Polarization Data

Kavli Affiliate: Eiichiro Komatsu | First 5 Authors: Johannes R. Eskilt, Eiichiro Komatsu, , , | Summary: The observed pattern of linear polarization of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) photons is a sensitive probe of physics violating parity symmetry under inversion of spatial coordinates. A new parity-violating interaction might have rotated the plane of linear […]

A Model Predictive Control Functional Continuous Time Bayesian Network for Self-Management of Multiple Chronic Conditions

Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Syed Hasib Akhter Faruqui, Adel Alaeddini, Jing Wang, Susan P Fisher-Hoch, Joseph B Mccormick | Summary: Multiple chronic conditions (MCC) are one of the biggest challenges of modern times. The evolution of MCC follows a complex stochastic process that is influenced by a variety of risk factors, […]

On odd number of fermion zero modes on solitons in quantum field theory and string/M theory

Kavli Affiliate: Yuji Tachikawa | First 5 Authors: Yotaro Sato, Yuji Tachikawa, Taizan Watari, , | Summary: We argue that having an odd number of Majorana fermion zero modes on a dynamical point-like soliton signifies an inconsistency in a theory with 3+1 and higher dimensions. We check this statement in a couple of examples in […]

Large deviation principle for stochastic heat equation with general rough noise

Kavli Affiliate: Ran Wang | First 5 Authors: Ruinan Li, Ran Wang, Beibei Zhang, , | Summary: We study Freidlin-Wentzell’s large deviation principle for one dimensional nonlinear stochastic heat equation driven by a Gaussian noise: $$frac{partial u^varepsilon(t,x)}{partial t} = frac{partial^2 u^varepsilon(t,x)}{partial x^2}+sqrt{varepsilon} sigma(t, x, u^varepsilon(t,x))dot{W}(t,x),quad t> 0,, xinmathbb{R},$$ where $dot W$ is white in time […]
