Shot noise and scatter in the star formation efficiency as a source of 21-cm fluctuations

Kavli Affiliate: George Efstathiou | First 5 Authors: Itamar Reis, Rennan Barkana, Anastasia Fialkov, , | Summary: The 21-cm signal from cosmic dawn and the epoch of reionization (EoR) probes the characteristics of the high redshift galaxy population. Many of the astrophysical properties of galaxies at high redshifts are currently unconstrained due to the lack […]

AGB interlopers in YSO catalogues hunted out by NEOWISE

Kavli Affiliate: Gregory Herczeg | First 5 Authors: Jeong-Eun Lee, Sieun Lee, Seonjae Lee, Kyung-Won Suh, Se-Hyung Cho | Summary: AGBs and YSOs often share the same domains in IR color-magnitude or color-color diagrams leading to potential mis-classification. We extracted a list of AGB interlopers from the published YSO catalogues using the periodogram analysis on […]

Expediting DECam Multimessenger Counterpart Searches with Convolutional Neural Networks

Kavli Affiliate: Brian Nord | First 5 Authors: Adam Shandonay, Robert Morgan, Keith Bechtol, Clecio R. Bom, Brian Nord | Summary: Searches for counterparts to multimessenger events with optical imagers use difference imaging to detect new transient sources. However, even with existing artifact detection algorithms, this process simultaneously returns several classes of false positives: false […]

Benign Overfitting in Multiclass Classification: All Roads Lead to Interpolation

Kavli Affiliate: Ke Wang | First 5 Authors: Ke Wang, Vidya Muthukumar, Christos Thrampoulidis, , | Summary: The literature on "benign overfitting" in overparameterized models has been mostly restricted to regression or binary classification; however, modern machine learning operates in the multiclass setting. Motivated by this discrepancy, we study benign overfitting in multiclass linear classification. […]

Demonstration of Confinement and Chiral Symmetry Breaking in $SO(N_c)$ Gauge Theories

Kavli Affiliate: Hitoshi Murayama | First 5 Authors: Csaba Csáki, Andrew Gomes, Hitoshi Murayama, Ofri Telem, | Summary: We demonstrate that $SO(N_{c})$ gauge theories with matter fields in the vector representation confine due to monopole condensation and break the $SU(N_{F})$ chiral symmetry to $SO(N_{F})$ via the quark bilinear. Our results are obtained by perturbing the […]

The AGORA High-resolution Galaxy Simulations Comparison Project. III: Cosmological zoom-in simulation of a Milky Way-mass halo

Kavli Affiliate: Tom Abel | First 5 Authors: Santi Roca-Fàbrega, Ji-hoon Kim, Loic Hausammann, Kentaro Nagamine, Johnny W. Powell | Summary: We present a suite of high-resolution cosmological zoom-in simulations to $z=4$ of a $10^{12},{rm M}_{odot}$ halo at $z=0$, obtained using seven contemporary astrophysical simulation codes widely used in the numerical galaxy formation community. Physics […]

Divergences in gravitational-wave emission and absorption from extreme mass ratio binaries

Kavli Affiliate: Scott A. Hughes | First 5 Authors: Enrico Barausse, Emanuele Berti, Vitor Cardoso, Scott A. Hughes, Gaurav Khanna | Summary: A powerful technique to calculate gravitational radiation from binary systems involves a perturbative expansion: if the masses of the two bodies are very different, the "small" body is treated as a point particle […]

GRUMPY: a simple framework for realistic forward-modelling of dwarf galaxies

Kavli Affiliate: Andrey Kravtsov | First 5 Authors: Andrey Kravtsov, Viraj Manwadkar, , , | Summary: We present a simple regulator-type framework designed specifically for modelling formation of dwarf galaxies. We explore sensitivity of model predictions for the stellar mass–halo mass and stellar mass–metallicity relations to different modelling choices and parameter values. Despite its simplicity, […]
