The Formation of Milky Way “Bones”: Ubiquitous HI Narrow Self-Absorption Associated with CO Emission

Kavli Affiliate: Ke Wang | First 5 Authors: Shenglan Sun, Ke Wang, Xunchuan Liu, Fengwei Xu, | Summary: Long and skinny molecular filaments running along Galactic spiral arms are known as "bones", since they make up the skeleton of the Milky Way. However, their origin is still an open question. Here, we compare spectral images […]

Pureformer-VC: Non-parallel One-Shot Voice Conversion with Pure Transformer Blocks and Triplet Discriminative Training

Kavli Affiliate: Jia Liu | First 5 Authors: Wenhan Yao, Zedong Xing, Xiarun Chen, Jia Liu, Yongqiang He | Summary: One-shot voice conversion(VC) aims to change the timbre of any source speech to match that of the target speaker with only one speech sample. Existing style transfer-based VC methods relied on speech representation disentanglement and […]

Self-Instructed Derived Prompt Generation Meets In-Context Learning: Unlocking New Potential of Black-Box LLMs

Kavli Affiliate: Zhuo Li | First 5 Authors: Zhuo Li, Yuhao Du, Jinpeng Hu, Xiang Wan, Anningzhe Gao | Summary: Large language models (LLMs) have shown success in generating high-quality responses. In order to achieve better alignment with LLMs with human preference, various works are proposed based on specific optimization process, which, however, is not […]

Influence of planets on debris discs in star clusters — II. The impact of stellar density

Kavli Affiliate: Rainer Spurzem | First 5 Authors: Kai Wu, M. B. N. Kouwenhoven, Francesco Flammini Dotti, Rainer Spurzem, | Summary: We present numerical simulations of planetary systems in star clusters with different initial stellar densities, to investigate the impact of the density on debris disc dynamics. We use LPS+ to combine N-body codes NBODY6++GPU […]

Gravitational wave ringdown analysis using the $mathcal{F}$-statistic

Kavli Affiliate: Lijing Shao | First 5 Authors: Hai-Tian Wang, Garvin Yim, Xian Chen, Lijing Shao, | Summary: After the final stage of the merger of two black holes, the ringdown signal takes an important role on providing information about the gravitational dynamics in strong field. We introduce a novel time-domain (TD) approach, predicated on […]

Discovering Dark Matter with the MUonE Experiment

Kavli Affiliate: Gordan Krnjaic | First 5 Authors: Gordan Krnjaic, Duncan Rocha, Isaac R. Wang, , | Summary: The MUonE experiment aims to extract the hardonic contribution the muon anomalous magnetic moment from a precise measurement of the muon-electron differential scattering cross section. We show that MUonE can also discover thermal relic dark matter using […]
