Kavli Affiliate: James Chiang | First 5 Authors: Massimo Bartoletti, James Chiang, Tommi Junttila, Alberto Lluch Lafuente, Massimiliano Mirelli | Summary: Decentralised Finance (DeFi) applications constitute an entire financial ecosystem deployed on blockchains. Such applications are based on complex protocols and incentive mechanisms whose financial safety is hard to determine. Besides, their adoption is rapidly […]
Kavli Affiliate: Alexander P. Ji | First 5 Authors: Tilman Hartwig, Mattis Magg, Li-Hsin Chen, Yuta Tarumi, Volker Bromm | Summary: The semi-analytical model A-SLOTH (Ancient Stars and Local Observables by Tracing Halos) is the first public code that connects the formation of the first stars and galaxies to observables. After several successful projects with […]

Kavli Affiliate: Steven W. Allen | First 5 Authors: Jack Sayers, Adam B. Mantz, Elena Rasia, Steven W. Allen, Weiguang Cui | Summary: We have combined X-ray observations from Chandra with Sunyaev-Zel’dovich (SZ) effect data from Planck and Bolocam to measure intra-cluster medium pressure profiles from 0.03R$_{500}$ $le$ R $le$ 5R$_{500}$ for a sample of […]

Kavli Affiliate: Anthony Lasenby | First 5 Authors: Greg Ashton, Noam Bernstein, Johannes Buchner, Xi Chen, Gábor Csányi | Summary: We review Skilling’s nested sampling (NS) algorithm for Bayesian inference and more broadly multi-dimensional integration. After recapitulating the principles of NS, we survey developments in implementing efficient NS algorithms in practice in high-dimensions, including methods […]
Kavli Affiliate: Naoki Yasuda | First 5 Authors: Ji-an Jiang, Naoki Yasuda, Keiichi Maeda, Nozomu Tominaga, Mamoru Doi | Summary: In this letter we report a discovery of an ultra-luminous fast evolving transient in rest-frame UV wavelengths, MUSSES2020J, soon after its occurrence by using the Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC) mounted on the 8.2m Subaru telescope. The […]

The […]
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) […]
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, […]
