Kavli Affiliate: Lijing Shao| First 5 Authors: Wenshuai Liu, Wenshuai Liu, , , | Summary:Neural density estimation has seen widespread applications in the gravitational-wave (GW) data analysis, which enables real-time parameter estimation for compact binary coalescences and enhances rapid inference for subsequent analysis such as population inference. In this work, we explore the application of […]

Kavli Affiliate: Kohei Inayoshi | Summary:The nature of Little Red Dots (LRDs) has largely been investigated through their continuum emission, with lines assumed to arise from a broad-line region. In this paper, we instead use recombination lines to infer the intrinsic properties of the central engine. Our analysis first reveals a tension between the ionizing […]

Kavli Affiliate: Ruobing Dong | Summary:We analyze high-contrast, medium-spectral-resolution $H_rm α$ observations of the star AB Aurigae using the Very Large Telescope’s Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE). In multiple epochs, MUSE detects the AB Aur b protoplanet discovered from Subaru/SCExAO data in emission at wavelengths slightly blue-shifted from the $H_rm α$ line center (i.e. at […]

Kavli Affiliate: Zhuo Li | First 5 Authors: Chun Liu, Chun Liu, , , | Summary: Open-set few-shot hyperspectral image (HSI) classification aims to classify image pixels by using few labeled pixels per class, where the pixels to be classified may be not all from the classes that have been seen. To address the open-set […]

Kavli Affiliate: Zhuo Li | First 5 Authors: Si-Zhe Wu, Si-Zhe Wu, , , | Summary: Recent progress has shown that the geomagnetic field exerts a more significant impact than expected on the behavior of charged secondary particles in inclined air showers. In this study, we for the first time combine it with atmospheric effects […]

Kavli Affiliate: Zhuo Li | First 5 Authors: Jinpeng Hu, Jinpeng Hu, , , | Summary: Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have been widely applied across various fields due to their powerful perceptual and reasoning capabilities. In the realm of psychology, these models hold promise for a deeper understanding of human emotions and behaviors. However, […]

Kavli Affiliate: Luis C. Ho | First 5 Authors: Shuying Zhou, Shuying Zhou, , , | Summary: The high-redshift ($z>4$) compact sources with “V-shaped" spectral energy distributions (SEDs), known as Little Red Dots (LRDs), are discovered by the James Webb Space Telescope and provide valuable clues to the physics of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) in […]

Kavli Affiliate: Renxin Xu | Summary:We extend the modified Nambu-Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model — incorporating exchange interactions via the Fierz transformation — to finite temperatures in both two- and three-flavor scenarios, and investigate the properties of protoquark stars in $β$-equilibrium. Our results show that increasing the strength of exchange interactions, characterized by the parameter $α$, changes […]

Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Ye Li, Ye Li, , , | Summary: The physical origin of fast radio bursts (FRBs) remains uncertain. Although multiwavelength observations offer critical diagnostics and have been widely conducted, only Galactic FRB~20200428D is associated with an X-ray burst from the magnetar SGR J1935+2154. Here, we present multiwavelength […]

Kavli Affiliate: Pau Amaro Seoane | Summary:The existence of curvature singularities and the information and firewall paradoxes are significant problems for the conventional black hole model. The black mirror provides a CPT-symmetric alternative to the classical description. We show that classical black holes can be distinguished from black mirrors by using gravitational waves. The principal […]
