Kavli Affiliate: Zeeshan Ahmed | First 5 Authors: Tanay Bhandarkar, Saianeesh K. Haridas, Jeff Iuliano, Anna Kofman, Alex Manduca | Summary: The Simons Observatory (SO) is a ground-based cosmic microwave background (CMB) survey experiment that currently consists of three 0.42m small-aperture telescopes (SATs) and one 6m large-aperture telescope (LAT), located at an elevation of 5200m […]
Kavli Affiliate: Roger W. Romani | First 5 Authors: Jack T. Dinsmore, Roger W. Romani, , , | Summary: The Guitar nebula surrounding PSR B2224+65 boasts a pulsar X-ray filament likely aligned with the local magnetic field. We present new RoboPol stellar polarization data distributed along the line-of-sight to the pulsar. The polarizing effect of […]
Kavli Affiliate: Steven Allen | First 5 Authors: Chloe Taylor, Daniel Wilkins, Steven Allen, , | Summary: We report the analysis of ~1Ms of XMM-Newton observations of the rapidly accreting active galactic nucleus REJ1034+396. The 0.3-9 keV EPIC-pn spectra are well described by a model consisting of steep continuum emission from the corona accompanied by […]
Kavli Affiliate: Robert Cameron | First 5 Authors: Tanayveer Singh Bhatia, Mayukh Panja, Robert Cameron, Sami Solanki, | Summary: We compute realistic 3D radiative MHD near-surface models of starspots with substantial penumbrae on cool main-sequence stars using the MURaM simulation code. This work is an improvement on the the previous starspot models in a slab […]
Kavli Affiliate: Zeeshan Ahmed | First 5 Authors: Niko Moritz, Ruiming Xie, Yashesh Gaur, Ke Li, Simone Merello | Summary: We propose the joint speech translation and recognition (JSTAR) model that leverages the fast-slow cascaded encoder architecture for simultaneous end-to-end automatic speech recognition (ASR) and speech translation (ST). The model is transducer-based and uses a […]
Kavli Affiliate: Chao-Lin Kuo | First 5 Authors: P. M. Chichura, A. Rahlin, A. J. Anderson, B. Ansarinejad, M. Archipley | Summary: We present improvements to the pointing accuracy of the South Pole Telescope (SPT) using machine learning. The ability of the SPT to point accurately at the sky is limited by its structural imperfections, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Giorgio Gratta | First 5 Authors: Gautam Venugopalan, Clarke A. Hardy, Kenneth Kohn, Yuqi Zhu, Charles P. Blakemore | Summary: The search for new gravity-like interactions at the sub-millimeter scale is a compelling area of research, with important implications for the understanding of classical gravity and its connections with quantum physics. We report […]
Kavli Affiliate: Brian Van Klaveren | First 5 Authors: Jeremy McCormick, Gregory P. Dubois-Felsmann, Andrei Salnikov, Brian Van Klaveren, Tim Jenness | Summary: The Data Management team of the Vera C. Rubin Observatory has developed a data description language and toolset, Felis, for defining the semantics and metadata of its public-facing data catalogs. Felis uses […]
Kavli Affiliate: Risa H. Wechsler | First 5 Authors: Mahlet Shiferaw, Nickolas Kokron, Risa H. Wechsler, , | Summary: Our ability to extract cosmological information from galaxy surveys is limited by uncertainties in the galaxy-dark matter halo relationship for a given galaxy population, which are governed by the intricacies of galaxy formation. To quantify these […]
