Dark radiation as a probe for phase transition in the early universe

Kavli Affiliate: Lijing Shao | First 5 Authors: Zihang Wang, Lijing Shao, , , | Summary: The cosmological constant is not necessarily small in the early universe. If a scalar field obtains a vacuum expectation value after a phase transition (PT), a possibly large cosmological constant could present before PT. The early cosmological constant (ECC) […]

Free-Floating Planets, the Einstein Desert, and ‘Oumuamua

Kavli Affiliate: Subo Dong | First 5 Authors: Andrew Gould, Youn Kil Jung, Kyu-Ha Hwang, Subo Dong, Michael D. Albrow | Summary: We complete the survey for finite-source/point-lens (FSPL) giant-source events in 2016-2019 KMTNet microlensing data. The 30 FSPL events show a clear gap in Einstein radius, $9,mu{rm as}<theta_{rm E} <26,mu{rm as}$, which is consistent […]

Spatially resolved molecular interstellar medium in a $z=6.6$ quasar host galaxy

Kavli Affiliate: Ran Wang | First 5 Authors: Jianan Li, Bram P. Venemans, Fabian Walter, Roberto Decarli, Ran Wang | Summary: We present high spatial resolution (0.4", 2.2kpc) observations of the CO(6-5), CO(7-6) and [CI] lines and dust continuum emission from the interstellar medium in the host galaxy of the quasar J0305$-$3150 at $z=6.6$. These, […]

Learning to Socially Navigate in Pedestrian-rich Environments with Interaction Capacity

Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Quecheng Qiu, Shunyi Yao, Jing Wang, Jun Ma, Guangda Chen | Summary: Existing navigation policies for autonomous robots tend to focus on collision avoidance while ignoring human-robot interactions in social life. For instance, robots can pass along the corridor safer and easier if pedestrians notice them. Sounds […]
