The integrated angular bispectrum of weak lensing

Kavli Affiliate: Toshiya Namikawa | First 5 Authors: Gabriel Jung, Toshiya Namikawa, Michele Liguori, Dipak Munshi, Alan Heavens | Summary: We investigate three-point statistics in weak lensing convergence, through the integrated bispectrum. This statistic involves measuring power spectra in patches, and is thus easy to measure, and avoids the complexity of estimating the very large […]

On Stability of Fermionic Superconducting Current in Cosmic String

Kavli Affiliate: Satoshi Shirai | First 5 Authors: Masahiro Ibe, Shin Kobayashi, Yuhei Nakayama, Satoshi Shirai, | Summary: Recently, the chiral superconductivity of the cosmic string in the axion model has gathered attention. The superconductive nature can alter the standard understanding of the cosmology of the axion model. For example, a string loop with a […]

Rethinking the Optimization of Average Precision: Only Penalizing Negative Instances before Positive Ones is Enough

Kavli Affiliate: Zhuo Li | First 5 Authors: Zhuo Li, Weiqing Min, Jiajun Song, Yaohui Zhu, Liping Kang | Summary: Optimising the approximation of Average Precision (AP) has been widely studied for image retrieval. Limited by the definition of AP, such methods consider both negative and positive instances ranking before each positive instance. However, we […]

WheaCha: A Method for Explaining the Predictions of Models of Code

Kavli Affiliate: Ke Wang | First 5 Authors: Yu Wang, Ke Wang, Linzhang Wang, , | Summary: Attribution methods have emerged as a popular approach to interpreting model predictions based on the relevance of input features. Although the feature importance ranking can provide insights of how models arrive at a prediction from a raw input, […]

How does the Polar Dust affect the Correlation between Dust Covering Factor and Eddington Ratio in Type 1 Quasars Selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 16?

Kavli Affiliate: Claudio Ricci | First 5 Authors: Yoshiki Toba, Yoshihiro Ueda, Poshak Gandhi, Claudio Ricci, Denis Burgarella | Summary: We revisit the dependence of covering factor (CF) of dust torus on physical properties of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) by taking into account an AGN polar dust emission. The CF is converted from a ratio […]

Breaking the degeneracy between polarization efficiency and cosmological parameters in CMB experiments

Kavli Affiliate: W. L. Kimmy Wu | First 5 Authors: Silvia Galli, W. L. Kimmy Wu, Karim Benabed, François Bouchet, Thomas M. Crawford | Summary: Accurate cosmological parameter estimates using polarization data of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) put stringent requirements on map calibration, as highlighted in the recent results from the Planck satellite. In […]

Adiabatic waveforms for extreme mass-ratio inspirals via multivoice decomposition in time and frequency

Kavli Affiliate: Scott A. Hughes | First 5 Authors: Scott A. Hughes, Niels Warburton, Gaurav Khanna, Alvin J. K. Chua, Michael L. Katz | Summary: We compute adiabatic waveforms for extreme mass-ratio inspirals (EMRIs) by "stitching" together a long inspiral waveform from a sequence of waveform snapshots, each of which corresponds to a particular geodesic […]
