Formation Rate of Quasi-periodic Eruptions in Galactic Nuclei Containing Single and Dual Supermassive Black Holes

Kavli Affiliate: Xian Chen | First 5 Authors: Chunyang Cao, F. K. Liu, Xian Chen, Shuo Li, | Summary: Quasi-periodic eruptions (QPEs) are a novel class of transients recently discovered in a few extragalactic nuclei. It has been suggested that a QPE can be produced by a main-sequence star undergoing repeated partial disruptions by the […]

Rapid Rotation of Polarization Orientations in PSR B1919+21’s Single Pulses: Implications On Pulsar’s Magnetospheric Dynamics

Kavli Affiliate: Kejia Lee | First 5 Authors: Shunshun Cao, Jinchen Jiang, Jaroslaw Dyks, Kejia Lee, Jiguang Lu | Summary: We analyse and model rapid rotations of polarization orientations in PSR B1919+21’s single pulses, based on FAST observation data. In more than one third of B1919+21’s single pulses, polarization angle (PA) is found to rotate […]

A Short-lived Rejuvenation during the Decades-long Changing-look Transition in the Nucleus of Mrk 1018

Kavli Affiliate: Luis C. Ho | First 5 Authors: Kai-Xing Lu, Yan-Rong Li, Qingwen Wu, Luis C. Ho, Zhi-Xiang Zhang | Summary: Changing-look active galactic nuclei (CL-AGNs), characterized by emerging or disappearing of broad lines accompanied with extreme continuum flux variability, have drawn much attention for their potential of revealing physical processes underlying AGN evolution. […]

The Higgs-Amplitude mode in the optical conductivity in the presence of a supercurrent: Gauge invariant forumulation

Kavli Affiliate: Ke Wang | First 5 Authors: Ke Wang, Rufus Boyack, K. Levin, , | Summary: Observing the amplitude-Higgs mode in superconductors has been a central challenge in condensed matter physics. Unlike the phase mode in the electromagnetic (EM) response, the amplitude mode is not needed to satisfy gauge invariance. Indeed, it couples to […]

Intrinsic Quantum Mpemba Effect in Markovian Systems and Quantum Circuits

Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Dongheng Qian, Huan Wang, Jing Wang, , | Summary: The quantum Mpemba effect (QME) describes the counterintuitive phenomenon in which a system farther from equilibrium reaches steady state faster than one closer to equilibrium. However, ambiguity in defining a suitable distance measure between quantum states has led […]

Seeking the nearest neutron stars using a new local electron density map

Kavli Affiliate: Lijing Shao | First 5 Authors: Joseph Bramante, Katherine Mack, Nirmal Raj, Lijing Shao, Narayani Tyagi | Summary: Neutron stars provide a compelling testing ground for gravity, nuclear dynamics, and physics beyond the Standard Model, and so it will be useful to locate the neutron stars nearest to Earth. To that end, we […]

An End-to-End Robust Point Cloud Semantic Segmentation Network with Single-Step Conditional Diffusion Models

Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Wentao Qu, Jing Wang, YongShun Gong, Xiaoshui Huang, Liang Xiao | Summary: Existing conditional Denoising Diffusion Probabilistic Models (DDPMs) with a Noise-Conditional Framework (NCF) remain challenging for 3D scene understanding tasks, as the complex geometric details in scenes increase the difficulty of fitting the gradients of the […]
