Exploring the origin of stars on bound and unbound orbits causing tidal disruption events

Kavli Affiliate: Rainer Spurzem | First 5 Authors: Shiyan Zhong, Kimitake Hayasaki, Shuo Li, Peter Berczik, Rainer Spurzem | Summary: Tidal disruption events (TDEs) probe properties of supermassive black holes (SMBHs), their accretion disks, and the surrounding nuclear stellar cluster. Light curves of TDEs are related to orbital properties of stars falling SMBHs. We study […]

Exploring the origin of stars on bound and unbound orbits causing tidal disruption events

Kavli Affiliate: Rainer Spurzem | First 5 Authors: Shiyan Zhong, Kimitake Hayasaki, Shuo Li, Peter Berczik, Rainer Spurzem | Summary: Tidal disruption events (TDEs) provide a clue to the properties of a central supermassive black hole (SMBH) and an accretion disk around it, and to the stellar density and velocity distributions in the nuclear star […]

Shaping Deep Feature Space towards Gaussian Mixture for Visual Classification

Kavli Affiliate: Jiansheng Chen | First 5 Authors: Weitao Wan, Jiansheng Chen, Cheng Yu, Tong Wu, Yuanyi Zhong | Summary: The softmax cross-entropy loss function has been widely used to train deep models for various tasks. In this work, we propose a Gaussian mixture (GM) loss function for deep neural networks for visual classification. Unlike […]

A Review of Generalized Zero-Shot Learning Methods

Kavli Affiliate: Ran Wang | First 5 Authors: Farhad Pourpanah, Moloud Abdar, Yuxuan Luo, Xinlei Zhou, Ran Wang | Summary: Generalized zero-shot learning (GZSL) aims to train a model for classifying data samples under the condition that some output classes are unknown during supervised learning. To address this challenging task, GZSL leverages semantic information of […]

SED Analysis of 13 Spectroscopically Confirmed Galaxies at z$simeq$6 to Constrain UV-Slope, Model Dust Attenuation and Escape Fractions

Kavli Affiliate: Linhua Jiang | First 5 Authors: Junehyoung Jeon, Rogier Windhorst, Seth H. Cohen, Rolf A. Jansen, Brent M. Smith | Summary: The reionization of the hydrogen in the Universe is thought to have completed by redshift $zsimeq5.5-6$. To probe this era, galaxy observations in the Subaru Deep Field (SDF) have identified more than […]

Re-detection and a Possible Time Variation of Soft X-ray Polarisation from the Crab

Kavli Affiliate: Renxin Xu | First 5 Authors: Hua Feng, Hong Li, Xiangyun Long, Ronaldo Bellazzini, Enrico Costa | Summary: The Crab nebula is so far the only celestial object with a statistically significant detection in soft x-ray polarimetry, a window that has not been explored in astronomy since the 1970s. However, soft x-ray polarimetry […]

On the Circular Polarisation of Repeating Fast Radio Bursts

Kavli Affiliate: Renxin Xu | First 5 Authors: Shi Dai, Jiguang Lu, Chen Wang, Weiyang Wang, Renxin Xu | Summary: Fast spinning (e.g., sub-second) neutron star with ultra-strong magnetic fields (or so-called magnetar) is one of the promising origins of repeating fast radio bursts (FRBs). Here we discuss circularly polarised emissions produced by propagation effects […]

Pulsar glitches in a strangeon star model. II. The activity

Kavli Affiliate: Renxin Xu | First 5 Authors: Weihua Wang, Xiaoyu Lai, Enping Zhou, Jiguang Lu, Xiaoping Zheng | Summary: Glitch is supposed to be a useful probe into pulsar’s interior, but the underlying physics remains puzzling. The glitch activity may reflect a lower limit of the crustal moment of inertia in conventional neutron star […]

Exciting modes due to the aberration of gravitational waves: Measurability for extreme-mass-ratio inspirals

Kavli Affiliate: Pau Amaro Seoane | First 5 Authors: Alejandro Torres-Orjuela, Pau Amaro Seoane, Zeyuan Xuan, Alvin J. K. Chua, MarĂ­a J. B. Rosell | Summary: Gravitational waves from a source moving relative to us can suffer from special-relativistic effects such as aberration. The required velocities for these to be significant are on the order […]
