Evidence of a fraction of LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA events coming from active galactic nuclei

Kavli Affiliate: Xian Chen | First 5 Authors: Liang-Gui Zhu, Xian Chen, , , | Summary: The formation channels of the gravitational-wave (GW) sources detected by LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA (LVK) remain poorly constrained. Active galactic nucleus (AGN) has been proposed as one of the potential hosts but the fraction of GW events originating from AGNs has not […]

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 | 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 […]
