Kavli Affiliate: Max Tegmark | First 5 Authors: Ziming Liu, Yunyue Chen, Yuanqi Du, Max Tegmark, | Summary: Integrating physical inductive biases into machine learning can improve model generalizability. We generalize the successful paradigm of physics-informed learning (PIL) into a more general framework that also includes what we term physics-augmented learning (PAL). PIL and PAL […]
Kavli Affiliate: Nicola Omodei | First 5 Authors: Melissa Pesce-Rollins, Nicola Omodei, Vahe’ Petrosian, Francesco Longo, | Summary: High-energy solar flares have shown to have at least two distinct phases: prompt-impulsive and delayed-gradual. Identifying the mechanism responsible for accelerating the electrons and ions and the site at which it occurs during these two phases is […]
Kavli Affiliate: Daniel Holz | First 5 Authors: Douglas Tucker, Matthew Wiesner, Sahar Allam, Marcelle Soares-Santos, Clecio de Bom | Summary: On 2019 August 14 at 21:10:39 UTC, the LIGO/Virgo Collaboration (LVC) detected a possible neutron star-black hole merger (NSBH), the first ever identified. An extensive search for an optical counterpart of this event, designated […]
Kavli Affiliate: Ran Wang | First 5 Authors: Yunjing Wu, Zheng Cai, Marcel Neeleman, Kristian Finlator, Shiwu Zhang | Summary: The physical and chemical properties of the circumgalactic medium (CGM) at $zgtrsim6$ have been studied successfully through the absorption in the spectra of background Quasi-Stellar Objects (QSOs). One of the most crucial questions is to […]
Kavli Affiliate: Nickolay Gnedin | First 5 Authors: Nishant Mishra, Nickolay Gnedin, , , | Summary: We explore the evolution of the flux power spectrum in the Cosmic Reionization On Computers (CROC) simulations. We find that, contrary to some previous studies, the shape of the flux power spectrum is rather insensitive to the timing of […]
Kavli Affiliate: Subo Dong | First 5 Authors: E. Callis, M. Fraser, A. Pastorello, Subo Dong, S. J. Brennan | Summary: We present spectroscopy and photometry of SN 2018zd, a Type IIP core-collapse supernova with signatures of interaction with circumstantial material in its earliest spectra. High ionization lines, the earmark of shock breakout, are not […]
Kavli Affiliate: Misao Sasaki | First 5 Authors: Samuel Passaglia, Misao Sasaki, , , | Summary: We show that primordial black holes can be produced from the collapse of large isocurvature perturbations of the cold dark matter. We develop a novel procedure to compute the resulting black hole abundance by studying matched perturbations of matter-only […]

Kavli Affiliate: Lijing Shao | First 5 Authors: Yong Gao, Xiao-Yu Lai, Lijing Shao, Ren-Xin Xu, | Summary: The strong interactions at low energy scales determine the state of the supranuclear matter in the pulsar-like compact objects. It is proposed that the bulk strong matter could be composed of strangeons, which are quark clusters with […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jacqueline N. Hewitt | First 5 Authors: Dara Storer, Joshua S. Dillon, Daniel C. Jacobs, Miguel F. Morales, Bryna J. Hazelton | Summary: We present a framework for identifying and flagging malfunctioning antennas in large radio interferometers. We outline two distinct categories of metrics designed to detect outliers along known failure modes of […]
