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: Lile Wang | First 5 Authors: Xiao Hu, Jaehan Bae, Zhaohuan Zhu, Lile Wang, | Summary: Magnetized winds and photoevaporative winds are critical in shaping protoplanetary disk evolution. Using 2D axisymmetric (magneto-)hydrodynamic simulations with Athena++ implementing fully coupled thermochemistry, we investigate the signatures of the two winds in CO and [C~I] ALMA observations, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Anton R. Akhmerov | First 5 Authors: R. Johanna Zijderveld, Isidora Araya Day, Anton R. Akhmerov, , | Summary: The surface states of intrinsic higher order topological phases are protected by the spatial symmetries of a finite sample. This property makes the existing scattering theory of topological invariants inapplicable because the scattering geometry […]
Kavli Affiliate: Michael M. Fausnaugh | First 5 Authors: Jason T. Hinkle, Katie Auchettl, Willem B. Hoogendam, Anna V. Payne, Thomas W. -S. Holoien | Summary: We present observations of ASASSN-22ci (AT2022dbl), a nearby tidal disruption event (TDE) discovered by the All-Sky Automated Survey for Supernovae (ASAS-SN) at a distance of d$_L simeq 125$ Mpc. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Nickolay Y. Gnedin | First 5 Authors: David Robinson, Camille Avestruz, Nickolay Y. Gnedin, Vadim A. Semenov, | Summary: Gas cooling and heating rates are vital components of hydrodynamic simulations. However, they are computationally expensive to evaluate exactly with chemical networks or photoionization codes. We compare two different approximation schemes for gas cooling […]
Kavli Affiliate: Wayne Hu | First 5 Authors: Rayne Liu, Wayne Hu, Daniel Grin, , | Summary: Ultralight axions (ULAs) with masses $10^{-33} lesssim m/{rm eV} lesssim 10^{-12}$ are well motivated in string-inspired models and can be part or all of the dark energy or the dark matter in this range. Since the ULA field […]
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: Zhuo Li | First 5 Authors: Junjia Liu, Zhuo Li, Minghao Yu, Zhipeng Dong, Sylvain Calinon | Summary: Humanoid robots are envisioned as embodied intelligent agents capable of performing a wide range of human-level loco-manipulation tasks, particularly in scenarios requiring strenuous and repetitive labor. However, learning these skills is challenging due to the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Martin Haehnelt | First 5 Authors: Adam Abdalla, Mahiro Abe, Sven Abend, Mouine Abidi, Monika Aidelsburger | Summary: This summary of the second Terrestrial Very-Long-Baseline Atom Interferometry (TVLBAI) Workshop provides a comprehensive overview of our meeting held in London in April 2024, building on the initial discussions during the inaugural workshop held at […]
Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: Alessandro Trinca, Rosa Valiante, Raffaella Schneider, Ignas Juodžbalis, Roberto Maiolino | Summary: Early JWST observations are providing growing evidence for a ubiquitous population of accreting supermassive black holes (BHs) at high redshift, many of which appear overmassive compared to the empirically-derived local scaling relation between black hole […]
