Kavli Affiliate: Luis C. Ho | First 5 Authors: Wan-Min Zheng, Qiaoya Wu, Jianfeng Wu, Song Wang, Mouyuan Sun | Summary: The optical light curves of quiescent black hole low-mass X-ray binaries often exhibit significant non-ellipsoidal variabilities, showing the photospheric radiation of the companion star is veiled by other source of optical emission. Assessing this […]

Kavli Affiliate: Linhua Jiang | First 5 Authors: Linhua Jiang, Shu Wang, Bing Zhang, Nobunari Kashikawa, Luis C. Ho | Summary: In Jiang et al., we detected a bright flash (hereafter GN-z11-flash) that appeared as compact continuum emission during our Keck MOSFIRE observations of the galaxy GN-z11 at z ~ 11. We performed a comprehensive […]

Kavli Affiliate: Linhua Jiang | First 5 Authors: Zhiwei Pan, Linhua Jiang, Xiaohui Fan, Jin Wu, Jinyi Yang | Summary: We present a well-designed sample of more than 1000 type 1 quasars at $3.5<z<5$ and derive UV quasar luminosity functions (QLFs) in this redshift range. These quasars were selected using the Sloan Digital Sky Survey […]

Kavli Affiliate: Linhua Jiang | First 5 Authors: Yuanhang Ning, Linhua Jiang, Zhen-Ya Zheng, Jin Wu, | Summary: We present a sample of Ly{alpha} emitters (LAEs) at $zapprox6.6$ from our spectroscopic survey of high-redshift galaxies using the multi-object spectrograph M2FS on the Magellan Clay telescope. The sample consists of 36 LAEs selected by the narrow-band […]

Kavli Affiliate: Linhua Jiang | First 5 Authors: Shu Wang, Linhua Jiang, Yue Shen, Luis C. Ho, Marianne Vestergaard | Summary: Broad line regions (BLRs) in high-redshift quasars provide crucial information of chemical enrichment in the early universe. Here we present a study of BLR metallicities in 33 quasars at redshift $5.7<z<6.4$. Using the near-IR […]

Kavli Affiliate: Yingjie Peng | First 5 Authors: Joanna M. Piotrowska, Asa F. L. Bluck, Roberto Maiolino, Yingjie Peng, | Summary: In this paper we investigate how massive central galaxies cease their star formation by comparing theoretical predictions from cosmological simulations: EAGLE, Illustris and IllustrisTNG with observations of the local Universe from the Sloan Digital […]

Kavli Affiliate: Yingjie Peng | First 5 Authors: Rui Shi, Wenting Wang, Zhaozhou Li, Jiaxin Han, Jingjing Shi | Summary: We propose a random forest (RF) machine learning approach to determine the accreted stellar mass fractions ($f_mathrm{acc}$) of central galaxies, based on various dark matter halo and galaxy features. The RF is trained and tested […]

Kavli Affiliate: Zhuo Li | First 5 Authors: Zhuo Li, , , , | Summary: Capturing long-range dependency and modeling long temporal contexts is proven to benefit speaker verification tasks. In this paper, we propose the combination of the Hierarchical-Split block(HS-block) and the Depthwise Separable Self-Attention(DSSA) module to capture richer multi-range context speaker features from […]

Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Kai Liu, Keke Bai, Jing Wang, Juntao Song, Ying Liu | Summary: Antimonene is a novel two-dimensional topological semiconductor material with strain driven tunable electronic structure for future electronic and spintronic devices, but the growth of clean antimonene is not fully understood. In this work, the growth […]

Kavli Affiliate: Renxin Xu | First 5 Authors: Wei-Yang Wang, Jin-Chen Jiang, Jiguang Lu, Heng Xu, Jiangwei Xu | Summary: Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are millisecond-duration signals, to be highly dispersed at distant galaxies, the physical origin of which is still challenging. Coherent curvature emission by bunches powered, e.g., by starquakes, has already been proposed […]
