Kavli Affiliate: Eric Miller | First 5 Authors: Ege Ozsar, Misha Kilmer, Eric Miller, Eric de Sturler, Arvind Saibaba | Summary: In this paper, we consider the restoration and reconstruction of piecewise constant objects in two and three dimensions using PaLEnTIR, a significantly enhanced Parametric level set (PaLS) model relative to the current state-of-the-art. The […]
Kavli Affiliate: Eric Miller | First 5 Authors: Ege Ozsar, Misha Kilmer, Eric Miller, Eric de Sturler, Arvind Saibaba | Summary: We introduce PaLEnTIR, a significantly enhanced parametric level-set (PaLS) method addressing the restoration and reconstruction of piecewise constant objects. Our key contribution involves a unique PaLS formulation utilizing a single level-set function to restore […]
Kavli Affiliate: Wendy L. Freedman | First 5 Authors: Elias K. Oakes, Taylor J. Hoyt, Wendy L. Freedman, Barry F. Madore, Quang H. Tran | Summary: We determine three independent Population II distance moduli to the Fornax dwarf spheroidal (dSph) galaxy, using wide-field, ground-based $VI$ imaging acquired with the Magellan-Baade telescope at Las Campanas Observatory. […]

Kavli Affiliate: Kohei Inayoshi | First 5 Authors: Kohei Inayoshi, Masafusa Onoue, Yuma Sugahara, Akio K. Inoue, Luis C. Ho | Summary: The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) will open a new window of the most distant universe and unveil the early growth of supermassive black holes (BHs) in the first galaxies. In preparation for […]
Kavli Affiliate: Yevgeny Stadnik | First 5 Authors: Vladimir Schkolnik, Dmitry Budker, Oliver Fartmann, Victor Flambaum, Leo Hollberg | Summary: We present a concept for a high-precision optical atomic clock (OAC) operating on an Earth-orbiting space station. This pathfinder science mission will compare the space-based OAC with one or more ultra-stable terrestrial OACs to search […]

Kavli Affiliate: Claudio Ricci | First 5 Authors: Carolina Andonie, Franz E. Bauer, Rosamaria Carraro, Patricia Arevalo, David M. Alexander | Summary: The 6.4 keV Fe Ka emission line is a ubiquitous feature in X-ray spectra of AGN, and its properties track the interaction between the variable primary X-ray continuum and the surrounding structure from […]
Kavli Affiliate: Kejia Lee | First 5 Authors: Zhengli Wang, Jiguang Lu, Jinchen Jiang, Jie Lin, Kejia Lee | Summary: Pulsars, known as the "lighthouses" in the universe, are thought to emit periodic pulses with duty-cycle ~10%. In this report, the 160,min-data of a nearby pulsar, PSR B0950+08, observed with the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio […]
