Kavli Affiliate: Kent Irwin | First 5 Authors: Philippe Peille, Didier Barret, Edoardo Cucchetti, Vincent Albouys, Luigi Piro | Summary: The Athena mission entered a redefinition phase in July 2022, driven by the imperative to reduce the mission cost at completion for the European Space Agency below an acceptable target, while maintaining the flagship nature […]
Kavli Affiliate: Eli S. Rykoff | First 5 Authors: Constantin Payerne, Zhuowen Zhang, Michel Aguena, Céline Combet, Thibault Guillemin | Summary: Cluster scaling relations are key ingredients in cluster abundance-based cosmological studies. In optical cluster cosmology, weak gravitational lensing has proven to be a powerful tool to constrain the cluster mass-richness relation. This work is […]
Kavli Affiliate: Tom Abel | First 5 Authors: Kwanit Gangopadhyay, Arka Banerjee, Tom Abel, , | Summary: The $k$-Nearest Neighbour Cumulative Distribution Functions are measures of clustering for discrete datasets that are fast and efficient to compute. They are significantly more informative than the 2-point correlation function. Their connection to $N$-point correlation functions, void probability […]
Kavli Affiliate: Zeeshan Ahmed | First 5 Authors: Federico Bianchini, Dominic Beck, W. L. Kimmy Wu, Zeeshan Ahmed, Sebastian Belkner | Summary: We compare multiple foreground-cleaning pipelines for estimating the tensor-to-scalar ratio, $r$, using simulated maps of the planned CMB-S4 experiment within the context of the South Pole Deep Patch. To evaluate robustness, we analyze […]
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, […]
