Two Channels of Metal-Rich Compact Stellar System Formation: Starbursts Under High Ram Pressure vs. Tidal Stripping

Kavli Affiliate: Luis C. Ho | First 5 Authors: Yuan Bian, Min Du, Victor P. Debattista, Dylan Nelson, Mark A. Norris | Summary: Most galaxies follow well-defined scaling relations of metallicity and stellar mass; however, some outliers at the low mass end of the observed galaxy population exhibit unusually high metallicity for their mass. Understanding […]

A novel standard candle: collapsing axion stars

Kavli Affiliate: Lijing Shao | First 5 Authors: Haoran Di, Lijing Shao, Zhu Yi, Shi-Bei Kong, | Summary: The Hubble constant, $H_0$, is a crucial parameter in cosmology. However, various cosmic observations have produced differing posterior values for $H_0$, resulting in what is referred to as the $H_0$ tension. To resolve this discrepancy, utilizing other […]

PIP: Detecting Adversarial Examples in Large Vision-Language Models via Attention Patterns of Irrelevant Probe Questions

Kavli Affiliate: Jiansheng Chen | First 5 Authors: Yudong Zhang, Ruobing Xie, Jiansheng Chen, Xingwu Sun, Yu Wang | Summary: Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) have demonstrated their powerful multimodal capabilities. However, they also face serious safety problems, as adversaries can induce robustness issues in LVLMs through the use of well-designed adversarial examples. Therefore, LVLMs are […]

Neutron stars in the bumblebee theory of gravity

Kavli Affiliate: Lijing Shao | First 5 Authors: Peixiang Ji, Zhuhai Li, Lirui Yang, Rui Xu, Zexin Hu | Summary: Recently, theoretical studies on the bumblebee gravity model, a nonminimally-coupled vector-tensor theory that violates the Lorentz symmetry, have flourished, with a simultaneous increase in the utilization of observations to impose constraints. The static spherical solutions […]

Qihoo-T2X: An Efficiency-Focused Diffusion Transformer via Proxy Tokens for Text-to-Any-Task

Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Jing Wang, Ao Ma, Jiasong Feng, Dawei Leng, Yuhui Yin | Summary: The global self-attention mechanism in diffusion transformers involves redundant computation due to the sparse and redundant nature of visual information, and the attention map of tokens within a spatial window shows significant similarity. To address […]

A spherical harmonic-domain spatial audio signal enhancement method based on minimum variance distortionless response

Kavli Affiliate: Huawei Zhang | First 5 Authors: Huawei Zhang, Jihui, Zhang, Huiyuan, Sun | Summary: Spatial audio signal enhancement aims to reduce interfering source contributions while preserving the desired sound field with its spatial cues intact. Existing methods generally rely on impractical assumptions (e.g. no reverberation or accurate estimations of impractical information) or have […]

Reply to Comment on “A slightly oblate dark matter halo revealed by a retrograde precessing Galactic disk warp”

Kavli Affiliate: Huawei Zhang | First 5 Authors: Yang Huang, Qikang Feng, Tigran Khachaturyants, Huawei Zhang, Jifeng Liu | Summary: In this reply, we present a comprehensive analysis addressing the concerns raised by Dehnen et al. (2024) regarding our recent measurement of the disk warp precession using the `motion-picture’ method (Huang et al. 2024). We […]
