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 […]

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, María 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 […]

Assessing Classifier Fairness with Collider Bias

Kavli Affiliate: Ke Wang | First 5 Authors: Zhenlong Xu, Ziqi Xu, Jixue Liu, Debo Cheng, Jiuyong Li | Summary: The increasing application of machine learning techniques in everyday decision-making processes has brought concerns about the fairness of algorithmic decision-making. This paper concerns the problem of collider bias which produces spurious associations in fairness assessment […]

A Tale of Two Transition Disks: ALMA long-baseline observations of ISO-Oph 2 reveal two closely packed non-axisymmetric rings and a $sim$2 au cavity

Kavli Affiliate: Gregory J. Herczeg | First 5 Authors: Camilo González-Ruilova, Lucas A. Cieza, Antonio S. Hales, Sebastián Pérez, Alice Zurlo | Summary: ISO-Oph 2 is a wide-separation (240 au) binary system where the primary star harbors a massive (M$_{dust}$ $sim$40 M$_{oplus}$) ring-like disk with a dust cavity $sim$50 au in radius and the secondary […]

Teacher-Critical Training Strategies for Image Captioning

Kavli Affiliate: Jiansheng Chen | First 5 Authors: Yiqing Huang, Jiansheng Chen, , , | Summary: Existing image captioning models are usually trained by cross-entropy (XE) loss and reinforcement learning (RL), which set ground-truth words as hard targets and force the captioning model to learn from them. However, the widely adopted training strategies suffer from […]

The First Extensive Spectroscopic Study of Young Stars in the North America and Pelican Nebulae Region

Kavli Affiliate: Gregory J. Herczeg | First 5 Authors: Min Fang, Lynne A. Hillenbrand, Jinyoung Serena Kim, Krzysztof Findeisen, Gregory J. Herczeg | Summary: We present a spectroscopic survey of over 3400 potential members in the North America and Pelican nebulae (NAP) using several low-resolution ($Rapprox$ 1300-2000) spectrographs: Palomar/Norris, WIYN/HYDRA, Keck/DEIMOS, and MMT/Hectospec. We identify […]

Merging stellar and intermediate-mass black holes in dense clusters: implications for LIGO, LISA and the next generation of gravitational wave detectors

Kavli Affiliate: Xian Chen | First 5 Authors: Manuel Arca-Sedda, Pau Amaro-Seoane, Xian Chen, , | Summary: We study the formation of intermediate-mass ratio inspirals (IMRIs) triggered by the interactions between two stellar black holes (BHs) and an intermediate-mass BH (IMBH) inhabiting the centre of a dense star cluster. We exploit $N$-body models varying the […]

Revealing the formation mechanism of the shell galaxy NGC474 with MUSE

Kavli Affiliate: Eric Peng | First 5 Authors: Jeremy Fensch, Pierre-Alain Duc, Sungsoon Lim, Éric Emsellem, Michal Bílek | Summary: Stellar shells around galaxies could provide precious insights into their assembly history. However, their formation mechanism remains poorly empirically constrained, in particular the type of galaxy collisions at their origin. We present MUSE@VLT data of […]

Ultrafast coherent control of a hole spin qubit in a germanium quantum dot

Kavli Affiliate: Ke Wang | First 5 Authors: Ke Wang, Gang Xu, Fei Gao, He Liu, Rong-Long Ma | Summary: Operation speed and coherence time are two core measures for the viability of a qubit. Strong spin-orbit interaction (SOI) and relatively weak hyperfine interaction make holes in germanium (Ge) intriguing candidates for spin qubits with […]
