A minimal model of solitons in nematic liquid crystals

Kavli Affiliate: Nicholas L. Abbott | First 5 Authors: Noe Atzin, Ali Mozaffari, Xingzhou Tang, Soumik Das, Nicholas L. Abbott | Summary: Solitons in liquid crystals have generated considerable interest. Several hypotheses of varying complexity have been advanced to explain how they emerge, and a consensus has not emerged yet about the underlying forces responsible […]

HP-GMN: Graph Memory Networks for Heterophilous Graphs

Kavli Affiliate: Xiang Zhang | First 5 Authors: Junjie Xu, Enyan Dai, Xiang Zhang, Suhang Wang, | Summary: Graph neural networks (GNNs) have achieved great success in various graph problems. However, most GNNs are Message Passing Neural Networks (MPNNs) based on the homophily assumption, where nodes with the same label are connected in graphs. Real-world […]

High-energy neutrino emission from magnetised jets of rapidly rotating protomagnetars

Kavli Affiliate: Shunsaku Horiuchi | First 5 Authors: Mukul Bhattacharya, Jose Alonso Carpio, Kohta Murase, Shunsaku Horiuchi, | Summary: Relativistic jets originating from protomagnetar central engines can lead to long duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) and are considered potential sources of ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays and secondary neutrinos. We explore the propagation of such jets through a […]

A dense mini-Neptune orbiting the bright young star HD 18599

Kavli Affiliate: Avi Shporer | First 5 Authors: Jose I. Vines, James S. Jenkins, Zaira Berdiñas, Maritza G. Soto, Matías R. Díaz | Summary: Very little is known about the young planet population because the detection of small planets orbiting young stars is obscured by the effects of stellar activity and fast rotation which mask […]

Periodic Artifact Reduction in Fourier transforms of Full Field Atomic Resolution Images

Kavli Affiliate: Lena F. Kourkoutis | First 5 Authors: Robert Hovden, Yi Jiang, Huolin L. Xin, Lena F. Kourkoutis, | Summary: The discrete Fourier transform is among the most routine tools used in high-resolution scanning / transmission electron microscopy (S/TEM). However, when calculating a Fourier transform, periodic boundary conditions are imposed and sharp discontinuities between […]

Using Host Galaxy Photometric Redshifts to Improve Cosmological Constraints with Type Ia Supernova in the LSST Era

Kavli Affiliate: Richard Kessler | First 5 Authors: Ayan Mitra, Richard Kessler, Surhud More, Renee Hlozek, | Summary: We perform a rigorous cosmology analysis on simulated type Ia supernovae (SN~Ia) and evaluate the improvement from including photometric host-galaxy redshifts compared to using only the "zspec" subset with spectroscopic redshifts from the host or SN. We […]
