High-order tensor flow processing using integrated photonic circuits

Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Shaofu Xu, Jing Wang, Sicheng Yi, Weiwen Zou, | Summary: Tensor analytics lays mathematical basis for the prosperous promotion of multiway signal processing. To increase computing throughput, mainstream processors transform tensor convolutions to matrix multiplications to enhance parallelism of computing. However, such order-reducing transformation produces data duplicates […]

Critical Stellar Central Densities Drive Galaxy Quenching in the Nearby Universe

Kavli Affiliate: Yingjie Peng | First 5 Authors: Bingxiao Xu, Yingjie Peng, , , | Summary: We study the structural and environmental dependence of the star formation on the plane of stellar mass versus central core density ($Sigma_{rm 1 kpc}$) in the nearby universe. We study the central galaxies in the sparse environment and find […]

MagAO observations of the binary microlens OGLE-2014-BLG-1050 prefer the higher-mass solution

Kavli Affiliate: Subo Dong | First 5 Authors: Xiaojia Xie, Subo Dong, Wei Zhu, A. Gould, A. Udalski | Summary: We report adaptive-optics (AO) follow-up imaging of OGLE-2014-BLG-1050, which is the second binary microlensing event with space-based parallax measurements. The degeneracy in microlens parallax pi_E led to two sets of solutions, either a ~(0.9, 0.35) […]

The Disk Veiling Effect of the Black Hole Low-Mass X-ray Binary A0620-00

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 […]
