Deep Neural Networks for Modeling Astrophysical Nuclear reacting flows

Kavli Affiliate: Lile Wang | First 5 Authors: Xiaoyu Zhang, Yuxiao Yi, Lile Wang, Zhi-Qin John Xu, Tianhan Zhang | 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 […]

Accurate Point Defect Energy Levels from Non-Empirical Screened Range-Separated Hybrid Functionals: the Case of Native Vacancies in ZnO

Kavli Affiliate: Jeffrey B. Neaton | First 5 Authors: Sijia Ke, Stephen E. Gant, Leeor Kronik, Jeffrey B. Neaton, | Summary: We use density functional theory (DFT) with non-empirically tuned screened range-separated hybrid (SRSH) functionals to calculate the electronic properties of native zinc and oxygen vacancy point defects in ZnO, and we predict their defect […]

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 […]

Q-balls Under Spontaneously Broken U(1) Symmetry

Kavli Affiliate: Masahiro Kawasaki | First 5 Authors: Masahiro Kawasaki, Kai Murai, Fuminobu Takahashi, , | Summary: We study the evolution of Q-balls under a spontaneously broken global $U(1)$ symmetry. Q-balls are stabilized by the conservation of $U(1)$ charge, but when the symmetry is spontaneously broken, the resulting Nambu-Goldstone (NG) boson can carry charge away […]

ATG2A engages Rab1a and ARFGAP1 positive membranes during autophagosome biogenesis

Kavli Affiliate: Pietro De Camilli | Authors: Devin M Fuller, Yumei Wu, Florian Schueder, Burha Rasool, Shanta Nag, Justin L. Korfhage, Rolando Garcia-Milian, Katerina D Melnyk, Joerg Bewersdorf, Pietro De Camilli and Thomas Melia | Summary: Autophagosomes form from seed membranes that expand through bulk-lipid transport via the bridge-like lipid transporter ATG2. The origins of […]

Hippocampus facilitates reinforcement learning under partial observability

Kavli Affiliate: Rui Costa | Authors: Dabal Pedamonti, Samia Mohinta, Martin Dimitrov, Hugo Malagon-Vina, Stephane Ciocchi and Rui Ponte Costa | Summary: Mastering navigation in environments with limited visibility is crucial for survival. Although the hippocam-pus has been associated with goal-oriented navigation, its role in real-world behaviour remains unclear. To investigate this, we combined deep […]

Cosmological Evolution of Fast Radio Bursts and The Star Formation Rate

Kavli Affiliate: Vahe Petrosian | First 5 Authors: Sujay Champati, Vahé Petrosian, , , | Summary: We investigate the cosmological evolution of the luminosity and redshift of FRBs. As is the case for all extragalactic sources, we are dealing with data that are truncated by observational selection effects, the most important being the flux limit, […]

Sensitivity of BEACON to Ultra-High Energy Diffuse and Transient Neutrinos

Kavli Affiliate: Abigail G. Vieregg | First 5 Authors: Andrew Zeolla, Jaime Alvarez-Muñiz, Sergio Cabana-Freire, Washington Carvalho Jr., Austin Cummings | Summary: Ultra-high energy neutrinos ($E>10^{17}$ eV) can provide insight into the most powerful accelerators in the universe, however their flux is extremely low. The Beamforming Elevated Array for COsmic Neutrinos (BEACON) is a detector […]

The radial metric function does not identify null surfaces

Kavli Affiliate: Anthony Lasenby | First 5 Authors: Yi-Hsiung Hsu, Will Barker, Michael Hobson, Anthony Lasenby, | Summary: We investigate the conditions under which a hypersurface becomes null through the use of coordinate transformations. We demonstrate that, in static spacetimes, the correct criterion for a surface to be null is~$g_{tt} = 0$, rather than~$g^{rr} = […]
