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 […]

Deep Neural Networks for Modeling Astrophysical Nuclear Reacting Flows

Kavli Affiliate: Lile Wang |Summary:In astrophysical simulations, nuclear reacting flows pose computational challenges due to the stiffness of reaction networks. We introduce neural network-based surrogate models using the DeePODE framework to enhance simulation efficiency while maintaining accuracy and robustness. Our method replaces conventional stiff ODE solvers with deep learning models trained through evolutionary Monte Carlo […]

Detecting Intermediate-mass Black Holes Using Quasar Microlensing

Kavli Affiliate: Luis C. Ho | First 5 Authors: Zihao Wu, Luis C. Ho, , , | Summary: Recent studies suggest that numerous intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) may wander undetected across the Universe, emitting little radiation. These IMBHs largely preserve their birth masses, offering critical insights into the formation of heavy black hole seeds and […]

Bumblebee cosmology: The FLRW solution and the CMB temperature anisotropy

Kavli Affiliate: Lijing Shao | Summary:We put into test the idea of replacing dark energy by a vector field against the cosmic microwave background (CMB) observation using the simplest vector-tensor theory, where a massive vector field couples to the Ricci scalar and the Ricci tensor quadratically. First, a remarkable Friedmann-LemaĆ®tre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) metric solution that is […]
