Starshade Rendezvous: Exoplanet Sensitivity and Observing Strategy

Kavli Affiliate: Bruce Macintosh | First 5 Authors: Andrew Romero-Wolf, Geoffrey Bryden, Sara Seager, N. Jeremy Kasdin, Jeff Booth | Summary: Launching a starshade to rendezvous with the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope would provide the first opportunity to directly image the habitable zones of nearby sunlike stars in the coming decade. A report on […]

Distributionally robust second-order stochastic dominance constrained optimization with Wasserstein ball

Kavli Affiliate: Jia Liu | First 5 Authors: Yu Mei, Jia Liu, Zhiping Chen, , | Summary: We consider a distributionally robust second-order stochastic dominance constrained optimization problem. We require the dominance constraints hold with respect to all probability distributions in a Wasserstein ball centered at the empirical distribution. We adopt the sample approximation approach […]

Optical follow-up observation for GW event S190510g using Subaru/Hyper Suprime-Cam

Kavli Affiliate: Naoki Yasuda | First 5 Authors: Takayuki Ohgami, Nozomu Tominaga, Yousuke Utsumi, Yuu Niino, Masaomi Tanaka | Summary: A gravitational wave event, S190510g, which was classified as a binary-neutron-star coalescence at the time of preliminary alert, was detected by LIGO/Virgo collaboration on May 10, 2019. At 1.7 hours after the issue of its […]

Polarized radiation and the Emergence of Biological Homochirality on Earth and Beyond

Kavli Affiliate: Roger D. Blandford | First 5 Authors: Noemie Globus, Anatoli Fedynitch, Roger D. Blandford, , | Summary: It has been proposed that spin-polarized cosmic radiation can induce asymmetric changes in helical biopolymers that may account for the emergence of biological homochirality. The parity violation in the weak interaction has direct consequences on the […]

PHOENIX: Device-Centric Cellular Network Protocol Monitoring using Runtime Verification

Kavli Affiliate: Zeeshan Ahmed | First 5 Authors: Mitziu Echeverria, Zeeshan Ahmed, Bincheng Wang, M. Fareed Arif, Syed Rafiul Hussain | Summary: End-user-devices in the current cellular ecosystem are prone to many different vulnerabilities across different generations and protocol layers. Fixing these vulnerabilities retrospectively can be expensive, challenging, or just infeasible. A pragmatic approach for […]

Abelian envelopes of exact categories and highest weight categories

Kavli Affiliate: Alexey Bondal | First 5 Authors: Agnieszka Bodzenta, Alexey Bondal, , , | Summary: We define admissible and weakly admissible subcategories in exact categories and prove that the former induce semi-orthogonal decompositions on the derived categories. We develop the theory of thin exact categories, an exact-category analogue of triangulated categories generated by exceptional […]
