The Intermediate-Mass Black Hole Reverberation Mapping Project: First Detection of Mid-Infrared Lags in Prototypical IMBHs in NGC 4395 and POX 52

Kavli Affiliate: Xuebing Wu | First 5 Authors: Jingbo Sun, Hengxiao Guo, Wenwen Zuo, Paulina Lira, Minfeng Gu | Summary: The search for robust evidence of intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) is crucial for understanding black hole seeding process and the formation of supermassive black holes in the early Universe. NGC 4395 and POX 52 are […]

CMD: Constraining Multimodal Distribution for Domain Adaptation in Stereo Matching

Kavli Affiliate: Zhuo Li | First 5 Authors: Zhelun Shen, Zhuo Li, Chenming Wu, Zhibo Rao, Lina Liu | Summary: Recently, learning-based stereo matching methods have achieved great improvement in public benchmarks, where soft argmin and smooth L1 loss play a core contribution to their success. However, in unsupervised domain adaptation scenarios, we observe that […]

“Oh FUors where art thou”: A search for long-lasting YSO outbursts hiding in infrared surveys

Kavli Affiliate: Gregory Herczeg | First 5 Authors: Carlos Contreras Peña, Jeong-Eun Lee, Ho-Gyu Lee, Gregory Herczeg, Doug Johnstone | Summary: Long-lasting episodes of high accretion can strongly impact stellar and planetary formation. However, the universality of these events during the formation of young stellar objects (YSOs) is still under debate. Accurate statistics of strong […]

The H2 Glow of a Quiescent Molecular Cloud Observed with JWST

Kavli Affiliate: Lile Wang | First 5 Authors: Paul F. Goldsmith, Shengzhe Wang, Xin Wang, Raphael Skalidis, Gary A. Fuller | Summary: We report JWST MIRI/MRS observations of the H2 S(1) 17.04 micron transition in two regions in the boundary of the Taurus Molecular Cloud. The two regions, denoted Edge (near the relatively sharp boundary […]

A forest of gravitational waves in our Galactic Centre

Kavli Affiliate: Pau Amaro Seoane | First 5 Authors: Pau Amaro Seoane, Shao-Dong Zhao, , , | Summary: At the Galactic Centre, we can expect a population of a few tens of early extreme-mass ratio inspirals (E-EMRIs) and extremely large mass ratio inspirals (XMRIs). Depending on their evolutionary stage, they can be highly eccentric, with […]

The First Photometric Evidence of a Transient/Variable Source at z>5 with JWST

Kavli Affiliate: Kohei Inayoshi | First 5 Authors: Christa DeCoursey, Eiichi Egami, Fengwu Sun, Arshia Akhtarkavan, Rachana Bhatawdekar | Summary: The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) discovered 79 transients out to $z$$sim$4.8 through the JADES Transient Survey (JTS), but the JTS did not find any $z$$>$5 transients. Here, we present the first photometric evidence of […]

Searching for Compact Obscured Nuclei in Compton Thick AGN

Kavli Affiliate: Claudio Ricci | First 5 Authors: Makoto A. Johnstone, George C. Privon, Loreto Barcos-Munoz, A. S. Evans, S. Aalto | Summary: Compact Obscured Nuclei (CONs) are heavily obscured infrared cores that have been found in local (ultra)luminous infrared galaxies (U/LIRGs). They show bright emission from vibrationally excited rotational transitions of HCN, known as […]
