The giant low surface brightness galaxy Malin 1: new constraints for its molecular gas mass from GBT/ARGUS observations

Kavli Affiliate: Sarah Church | First 5 Authors: Gaspar Galaz, David T. Frayer, Matias BlaƱa, J. Christopher Howk, Thomas Puzia | Summary: We report on results from GBT/ARGUS $^{12}$CO(1-0) observations for the giant low surface brightness galaxy Malin 1, which allow us to determine an upper limit for its CO mass, and hence its molecular […]

Entanglement Dynamics of the Non-Unitary Holographic Channel

Kavli Affiliate: Masahiro Nozaki | First 5 Authors: Kanato Goto, Masahiro Nozaki, Kotaro Tamaoka, Mao Tian Tan, | Summary: We study the dynamical properties of a strongly scrambling quantum circuit involving a projective measurement on a finite-sized region by studying the operator entanglement entropy and mutual information (OEE and BOMI) of the dual operator state […]

FIXED: Frustratingly Easy Domain Generalization with Mixup

Kavli Affiliate: Xiang Zhang | First 5 Authors: Wang Lu, Jindong Wang, Han Yu, Lei Huang, Xiang Zhang | Summary: Domain generalization (DG) aims to learn a generalizable model from multiple training domains such that it can perform well on unseen target domains. A popular strategy is to augment training data to benefit generalization through […]

A giant glitch from the magnetar SGR J1935+2154 before FRB 200428

Kavli Affiliate: Kejia Lee | First 5 Authors: Mingyu Ge, Yuan-Pei Yang, Fangjun Lu, Shiqi Zhou, Long Ji | Summary: Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are short pulses observed in radio frequencies usually originating from cosmological distances. The discovery of FRB 200428 and its X-ray counterpart from the Galactic magnetar SGR J1935+2154 suggests that at least […]

Mirror Dark Sector Solution of the Hubble Tension with Time-varying Fine-structure Constant

Kavli Affiliate: Joshua Frieman | First 5 Authors: John Zhang, Joshua Frieman, , , | Summary: We explore a model introduced by Cyr-Racine, Ge, and Knox (arXiv:2107.13000(2)) that resolves the Hubble tension by invoking a “mirror world" dark sector with energy density a fixed fraction of the “ordinary" sector of Lambda-CDM. Although it reconciles cosmic […]
