Testing multiflavored ULDM models with SPARC

Kavli Affiliate: Nickolay Y. Gnedin | First 5 Authors: Lauren Street, Nickolay Y. Gnedin, L. C. R. Wijewardhana, , | Summary: We perform maximum likelihood estimates (MLEs) for single and double flavor ultralight dark matter (ULDM) models using the Spitzer Photometry and Accurate Rotation Curves (SPARC) database. These estimates are compared to MLEs for several […]

The binary black hole spin distribution likely broadens with redshift

Kavli Affiliate: Salvatore Vitale | First 5 Authors: Sylvia Biscoveanu, Thomas A. Callister, Carl-Johan Haster, Ken K. Y. Ng, Salvatore Vitale | Summary: The population-level distributions of the masses, spins, and redshifts of binary black holes (BBHs) observed using gravitational waves can shed light on how these systems form and evolve. Because of the complex […]

Unsupervised Learning of Accurate Siamese Tracking

Kavli Affiliate: Li Xin Li | First 5 Authors: Qiuhong Shen, Lei Qiao, Jinyang Guo, Peixia Li, Xin Li | Summary: Unsupervised learning has been popular in various computer vision tasks, including visual object tracking. However, prior unsupervised tracking approaches rely heavily on spatial supervision from template-search pairs and are still unable to track objects […]

The orientations of the binary black holes in GWTC-3

Kavli Affiliate: Salvatore Vitale | First 5 Authors: Salvatore Vitale, Sylvia Biscoveanu, Colm Talbot, , | Summary: It is expected that the orbital planes of gravitational-wave (GW) sources are isotropically distributed. However, both physical and technical factors, such as alternate theories of gravity with birefringence, catalog contamination, and search algorithm limitations, could result in inferring […]

Spatially resolved molecular interstellar medium in a $z=6.6$ quasar host galaxy

Kavli Affiliate: Ran Wang | First 5 Authors: Jianan Li, Bram P. Venemans, Fabian Walter, Roberto Decarli, Ran Wang | Summary: We present high spatial resolution (0.4", 2.2kpc) observations of the CO(6-5), CO(7-6) and [CI] lines and dust continuum emission from the interstellar medium in the host galaxy of the quasar J0305$-$3150 at $z=6.6$. These, […]

The Andromeda Gamma-Ray Excess: Background Systematics of the Millisecond Pulsars and Dark Matter Interpretations

Kavli Affiliate: Shunsaku Horiuchi | First 5 Authors: Fabian Zimmer, Oscar Macias, Shin’ichiro Ando, Roland M. Crocker, Shunsaku Horiuchi | Summary: Since the discovery of an excess in gamma rays in the direction of M31, its cause has been unclear. Published interpretations focus on a dark matter or stellar related origin. Studies of a similar […]
