Kavli Affiliate: David Spergel | First 5 Authors: Sigurd Naess, Nick Battaglia, J. Richard Bond, Erminia Calabrese, Steve K. Choi | Summary: We report on the serendipitous discovery of three transient mm-wave sources using data from the Atacama Cosmology Telescope. The first, detected at RA = 273.8138, dec = -49.4628 at ${sim}50sigma$ total, brightened from […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jia Liu | First 5 Authors: Xiaoyu Cao, Minghong Fang, Jia Liu, Neil Zhenqiang Gong, | Summary: Byzantine-robust federated learning aims to enable a service provider to learn an accurate global model when a bounded number of clients are malicious. The key idea of existing Byzantine-robust federated learning methods is that the service […]
Kavli Affiliate: Anna Frebel | First 5 Authors: Dmitrii Gudin, Derek Shank, Timothy C. Beers, Zhen Yuan, Guilherme Limberg | Summary: We derive dynamical parameters for a large sample of 446 $r$-process-enhanced (RPE) metal-poor stars in the halo and disk systems of the Milky Way, based on data releases from the $R$-Process Alliance, supplemented by […]
Kavli Affiliate: Cosmin Deaconu | First 5 Authors: Majd Ghrear, Sven E. Vahsen, Cosmin Deaconu, , | Summary: Directional detection of nuclear recoils is broadly desirable in nuclear and particle physics. At low recoil energies, this capability may be used to confirm the cosmological origin of a dark matter signal, to penetrate the so-called neutrino […]
Kavli Affiliate: Gregory J. Herczeg | First 5 Authors: Anupam Bhardwaj, Marina Rejkuba, Richard de Grijs, Soung-Chul Yang, Gregory J. Herczeg | Summary: We present new near-infrared, $JHK_s$, Period–Luminosity relations (PLRs) for RR Lyrae variables in the Messier 53 (M53 or NGC 5024) globular cluster. Multi-epoch $JHK_s$ observations, obtained with the WIRCam instrument on the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Fukun Liu | First 5 Authors: Xinwen Shu, Wenjie Zhang, Shuo Li, Ning Jiang, Liming Dou | Summary: Optical transient surveys have led to the discovery of dozens of stellar tidal disruption events (TDEs) by massive black hole in the centers of galaxies. Despite extensive searches, X-ray follow-up observations have produced no or […]

Kavli Affiliate: Yuji Tachikawa | First 5 Authors: Yasunori Lee, Yuji Tachikawa, , , | Summary: Global gauge anomalies in $6d$ associated with non-trivial homotopy groups $pi_6(G)$ for $G=SU(2)$, $SU(3)$, and $G_2$ were computed and utilized in the past. In the modern bordism point of view of anomalies, however, they come from the bordism groups […]
Kavli Affiliate: Deepto Chakrabarty | First 5 Authors: Peter Bult, Diego Altamirano, Zaven Arzoumanian, Anna V. Bilous, Deepto Chakrabarty | Summary: In this work we report on observations with the Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer of the known neutron star X-ray transient XTE J1739-285. We observed the source in 2020 February and March, finding it […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jeffrey McMahon | First 5 Authors: Thomas Essinger-Hileman, Trevor Oxholm, Gage Siebert, Peter Ade, Christopher Anderson | Summary: This work describes the optical design of the EXperiment for Cryogenic Large-Aperture Intensity Mapping (EXCLAIM). EXCLAIM is a balloon-borne telescope that will measure integrated line emission from carbon monoxide (CO) at redshifts z < 1 […]
