Alternating north-south brightness ratio of Ganymede’s auroral ovals: Hubble Space Telescope observations around the Juno PJ34 flyby

Kavli Affiliate: George Clark | First 5 Authors: Joachim Saur, Stefan Duling, Alexandre Wennmacher, Clarissa Willmes, Lorenz Roth | Summary: We report results of Hubble Space Telescope observations from Ganymede’s orbitally trailing side which were taken around the flyby of the Juno spacecraft on June 7, 2021. We find that Ganymede’s northern and southern auroral […]

The Photon Ring in M87*

Kavli Affiliate: Lijing Shao | First 5 Authors: Avery E. Broderick, Dominic W. Pesce, Paul Tiede, Hung-Yi Pu, Roman Gold | Summary: We report measurements of the gravitationally lensed secondary image — the first in an infinite series of so-called "photon rings" — around the supermassive black hole M87* via simultaneous modeling and imaging of […]

The Atacama Cosmology Telescope: limits on dark matter-baryon interactions from DR4 power spectra

Kavli Affiliate: Blake Sherwin | First 5 Authors: Zack Li, Rui An, Vera Gluscevic, Kimberly K. Boddy, J. Richard Bond | Summary: Diverse astrophysical observations suggest the existence of cold dark matter that interacts only gravitationally with radiation and ordinary baryonic matter. Any nonzero coupling between dark matter and baryons would provide a significant step […]

Measurement of the $Ω_c^0$ lifetime at Belle II

Kavli Affiliate: T. Higuchi | First 5 Authors: Belle II Collaboration, F. Abudinén, I. Adachi, L. Aggarwal, H. Ahmed | Summary: We report on a measurement of the $Omega_c^0$ lifetime using $Omega_c^0 to Omega^-pi^+$ decays reconstructed in $e^+e^-to cbar{c}$ data collected by the Belle II experiment and corresponding to $207~{rm fb^{-1}}$ of integrated luminosity. The […]

SYNTHESIS: A Semi-Asynchronous Path-Integrated Stochastic Gradient Method for Distributed Learning in Computing Clusters

Kavli Affiliate: Jia Liu | First 5 Authors: Zhuqing Liu, Xin Zhang, Jia Liu, , | Summary: To increase the training speed of distributed learning, recent years have witnessed a significant amount of interest in developing both synchronous and asynchronous distributed stochastic variance-reduced optimization methods. However, all existing synchronous and asynchronous distributed training algorithms suffer […]

A Mid-infrared Flare in the Seyfert Galaxy NGC 3786: A Changing-look Event Triggered by an Obscured Tidal Disruption Event?

Kavli Affiliate: Luis C. Ho | First 5 Authors: Suyeon Son, Minjin Kim, Luis C. Ho, Dohyeong Kim, Taehyun Kim | Summary: We report an exceptional mid-infrared flare in the Seyfert 1.8 NGC 3786. In the multi-epoch data from the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, the nuclear mid-infrared brightness of NGC 3786 appears to vary substantially […]

Compton Telescopes for Gamma-ray Astrophysics

Kavli Affiliate: Tadayuki Takahashi | First 5 Authors: Carolyn Kierans, Tadayuki Takahashi, Gottfried Kanbach, , | Summary: Compton telescopes rely on the dominant interaction mechanism in the MeV gamma-ray energy range: Compton scattering. By precisely recording the position and energy of multiple Compton scatter interactions in a detector volume, a photon’s original direction and energy […]
