Kavli Affiliate: Ronald A. Remillard | First 5 Authors: Yuhan Yao, S. R. Kulkarni, K. C. Gendreau, Gaurava K. Jaisawal, Teruaki Enoto | Summary: Here, we present MAXI, SWIFT, NICER, NuSTAR and Chandra observations of the X-ray transient AT2019wey (SRGA J043520.9+552226, SRGE J043523.3+552234). From spectral and timing analyses we classify it as a Galactic low-mass […]
Kavli Affiliate: Eli Rykoff | First 5 Authors: Valtteri Lindholm, Alexis Finoguenov, Johan Comparat, Charles C. Kirkpatrick, Eli Rykoff | Summary: Aims. We analyze the autocorrelation function of a large contiguous sample of galaxy clusters, the Constrain Dark Energy with X-ray (CODEX) sample, in which we take particular care of cluster definition. These clusters were […]
Kavli Affiliate: Roger W. Romani | First 5 Authors: Martijn de Vries, Roger W. Romani, Oleg Kargaltsev, George Pavlov, Bettina Posselt | Summary: We have obtained a deep 670 ks CXO ACIS image of the remarkable pulsar wind nebula (PWN) of PSR J1709-4429, in 4 epochs during 2018-2019. Comparison with an archival 2004 data set […]
Kavli Affiliate: Philip J. Marshall | First 5 Authors: Ji Won Park, Sebastian Wagner-Carena, Simon Birrer, Philip J. Marshall, Joshua Yao-Yu Lin | Summary: We investigate the use of approximate Bayesian neural networks (BNNs) in modeling hundreds of time-delay gravitational lenses for Hubble constant ($H_0$) determination. Our BNN was trained on synthetic HST-quality images of […]
Kavli Affiliate: Rainer Spurzem | First 5 Authors: Qi Shu, Xiaoying Pang, Francesco Flammini Dotti, M. B. N. Kouwenhoven, Manuel Arca Sedda | Summary: We present a comprehensive investigation of main-sequence (MS) binaries in the DRAGON simulations, which are the first one-million particles direct $N$-body simulations of globular clusters. We analyse the orbital parameters of […]
Kavli Affiliate: Ralf K. Heilmann | First 5 Authors: Hans Moritz Günther, Ralf K. Heilmann, , , | Summary: Lynx is one of four large-mission concept studies for NASA’s 2020 Decadal survey. The design reference mission includes an X-ray grating spectrometer (XGS) based on critical-angle transmission (CAT) gratings. In the past we studied different grating […]
Kavli Affiliate: Herman L. Marshall | First 5 Authors: Hans Moritz Günther, Herman L. Marshall, Alan Garner, , | Summary: X-ray polarimetry is still largely uncharted territory. With the upcoming launch of IXPE, we will learn a lot more about X-ray polarization at energies above 2 keV, but so far no current or accepted mission […]
Kavli Affiliate: Satoshi Shirai | First 5 Authors: Taisuke Katayose, Shigeki Matsumoto, Satoshi Shirai, , | Summary: Electroweakly Interacting Massive Particles (EWIMPs), in other words, new massive particles that are charged under the electroweak interaction of the Standard Model (SM), are often predicted in various new physics models. EWIMPs are probed at hadron collider experiments […]
Kavli Affiliate: Ran Wang | First 5 Authors: Haojing Shen, Sihong Chen, Ran Wang, Xizhao Wang, | Summary: In this paper, we propose a defence strategy to improve adversarial robustness by incorporating hidden layer representation. The key of this defence strategy aims to compress or filter input information including adversarial perturbation. And this defence strategy […]
Kavli Affiliate: Peter W. Graham | First 5 Authors: Michael A. Fedderke, Peter W. Graham, Surjeet Rajendran, , | Summary: The gravitational coupling of nearby massive bodies to test masses in a gravitational wave (GW) detector cannot be shielded, and gives rise to ‘gravity gradient noise’ (GGN) in the detector. In this paper we show […]
