Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Jing Wang, , , , | Summary: Currently, the discussions and investigations for the vacuum energy is drawing great both theoretical and experimental attention. The vacuum states of variety of fields, subject to special boundary conditions, may contribute to non-trivial macroscopic vacuum energy, i.e. the Casimir effect, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Paolo Privitera | First 5 Authors: Alexis Aguilar-Arevalo, Fabricio Alcalde Bessia, Nicolas Avalos, Daniel Baxter, Xavier Bertou | Summary: The Oscura experiment will lead the search for low-mass dark matter particles using a very large array of novel silicon Charge Coupled Devices (CCDs) with a threshold of two electrons and with a total […]
Kavli Affiliate: Roland Vanderspek | First 5 Authors: Tianjun Gan, Abderahmane Soubkiou, Sharon X. Wang, Zouhair Benkhaldoun, Shude Mao | Summary: We present the discovery of TOI-2136b, a sub-Neptune planet transiting every 7.85 days a nearby M4.5V-type star, identified through photometric measurements from the TESS mission. The host star is located $33$ pc away with […]
Kavli Affiliate: Ulrich Sperhake | First 5 Authors: Davide Gerosa, Cecilia Maria Fabbri, Ulrich Sperhake, , | Summary: The mass of a Kerr black hole can be separated into irreducible and rotational components -the former is a lower limit to the energy that cannot be possibly extracted from the event horizon and is related to […]

Kavli Affiliate: Edward H. Morgan | First 5 Authors: Theron W. Carmichael, Jonathan M. Irwin, Felipe Murgas, Enric Pallé, Keivan G. Stassun | Summary: We report the discovery of TOI-2119b, a transiting brown dwarf (BD) that orbits and is completely eclipsed by an active M-dwarf star. Using light curve data from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey […]

Kavli Affiliate: Zeeshan Ahmed | First 5 Authors: Chao-Han Huck Yang, Zeeshan Ahmed, Yile Gu, Joseph Szurley, Roger Ren | Summary: In this work, we aim to enhance the system robustness of end-to-end automatic speech recognition (ASR) against adversarially-noisy speech examples. We focus on a rigorous and empirical "closed-model adversarial robustness" setting (e.g., on-device or […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Pei Zuo, Luis C. Ho, Jing Wang, Niankun Yu, Jinyi Shangguan | Summary: The global 21 cm HI emission-line profile of a galaxy encodes valuable information on the spatial distribution and kinematics of the neutral atomic gas. Galaxy interactions significantly influence the HI disk and imprint observable […]
Kavli Affiliate: Melania Nynka | First 5 Authors: Kaya Mori, Charles Hailey, Gabriel Bridges, Shifra Mandel, Amani Garvin | Summary: Electrons accelerated on Earth by a rich variety of wave scattering or stochastic processes generate hard non-thermal X-ray bremsstrahlung up to >~ 1 MeV and power Earth’s various types of aurorae. Although Jupiter’s magnetic field […]
