AT 2019aalc: a Bowen Fluorescence Flare With a Precursor Flare in an Active Galactic Nucleus

Kavli Affiliate: Claudio Ricci | First 5 Authors: Marzena Śniegowska, Benny Trakhtenbrot, Lydia Makrygianni, Iair Arcavi, Claudio Ricci | Summary: AT 2019aalc is a peculiar sequence of highly variable emission events observed towards the nucleus of the broad-line AGN SDSS J152416.66+045119.0. The system exhibited two distinct UV/optical flares (the first detected in 2019, the second […]

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 | 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 two prototypical IMBH hosts, both exhibiting multi-line evidence of low-mass black hole activity. Here, we […]

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 […]

Geometric calculations on probability manifolds from reciprocal relations in Master equations

Kavli Affiliate: Li Xin Li| First 5 Authors: [#item_custom_name[1, [#item_custom_name[2, [#item_custom_name[3, [#item_custom_name[4, [#item_custom_name[5| Summary:Onsager reciprocal relations model physical irreversible processes from complex systems. Recently, it has been shown that Onsager principles for master equations on finite states introduce a class of Riemannian metrics on the probability simplex, leading to probability manifolds or finite-state Wasserstein–2 spaces. […]

Thermodynamics and Holographic RG Flow in 3D C-metric

Kavli Affiliate: Li Xin Li |Summary:In this paper, we investigate the microscopic derivation of the entropy and the holographic RG flow in 3D C-metric. We first discuss the case of a sector in BTZ (Banados-Teitelboim-Zanelli) black hole. By rescaling the Newton’s constant we recover the area law of entropy of this sector by microstate counting. […]

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 […]

Systematic search for blue hyper-velocity stars from LAMOST survey

Kavli Affiliate: Huawei Zhang | Summary:Hypervelocity stars (HVSs) represent a unique class of objects capable of escaping the gravitational pull of the Milky Way due to extreme acceleration events, such as close encounters with the supermassive black hole at the Galactic center (GC), supernova explosions in binary systems, or multi-body dynamical interactions. Finding and studying […]
