Strong spiral arms drive secular growth of pseudo bulges in disk galaxies

Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Si-Yue Yu, Dewang Xu, Luis C. Ho, Jing Wang, Wei-Bo Kao | Summary: Spiral-driven instabilities may drive gas inflow to enhance central star formation in disk galaxies. We investigate this hypothesis using the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) in a sample of 2779 nearby unbarred star-forming main-sequence […]

Evidence for quasar fast outflows being accelerated at the scale of tens of parsecs

Kavli Affiliate: Luis C. Ho | First 5 Authors: Zhicheng He, Guilin Liu, Tinggui Wang, Guobin Mou, Richard Green | Summary: Quasar outflows may play a crucial role in regulating the host galaxy, although the spatial scale of quasar outflows remain a major enigma, with their acceleration mechanism poorly understood. The kinematic information of outflow […]

A multiwavelength-motivated X-ray model for the Circinus Galaxy

Kavli Affiliate: Claudio Ricci | First 5 Authors: Carolina Andonie, Claudio Ricci, Stéphane Paltani, Patricia Arévalo, Ezequiel Treister | Summary: Reprocessed X-ray emission in Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) can provide fundamental information about the circumnuclear environments of supermassive black holes. Recent mid-infrared studies have shown evidence of an extended dusty structure perpendicular to the torus […]

Dissecting the different components of the modest accretion bursts of the very young protostar HOPS 373

Kavli Affiliate: Gregory J. Herczeg | First 5 Authors: Sung-Yong Yoon, Gregory J. Herczeg, Jeong-Eun Lee, Ho-Gyu Lee, Doug Johnstone | Summary: Observed changes in protostellar brightness can be complicated to interpret. In our JCMT~Transient monitoring survey, we discovered that a young binary protostar, HOPS 373, is undergoing a modest $30%$ brightness increase at 850 […]

Luminosity function and event rate density of XMM-Newton-selected supernova shock-breakout candidates

Kavli Affiliate: Zhuo Li | First 5 Authors: Hui Sun, He-Yang Liu, Haiwu Pan, Zhu Liu, Dennis Alp | Summary: A dozen X-ray supernova shock breakout (SN SBO) candidates were reported recently based on XMM-Newton archival data, which increased the X-ray selected SN SBO sample by an order of magnitude. Assuming they are genuine SN […]

Constructing graphs having Laplacian pair state transfer by an edge perturbation

Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Wei Wang, Xiaogang Liu, Jing Wang, , | Summary: In this paper, we give some sufficient conditions for graphs with an edge perturbation between twin vertices to have Laplacian perfect pair state transfer as well as Laplacian pretty good pair state transfer. By those sufficient conditions, we […]

InferGrad: Improving Diffusion Models for Vocoder by Considering Inference in Training

Kavli Affiliate: Ke Wang | First 5 Authors: Zehua Chen, Xu Tan, Ke Wang, Shifeng Pan, Danilo Mandic | Summary: Denoising diffusion probabilistic models (diffusion models for short) require a large number of iterations in inference to achieve the generation quality that matches or surpasses the state-of-the-art generative models, which invariably results in slow inference […]
