The binary black hole spin distribution likely broadens with redshift

Kavli Affiliate: Salvatore Vitale | First 5 Authors: Sylvia Biscoveanu, Thomas A. Callister, Carl-Johan Haster, Ken K. Y. Ng, Salvatore Vitale | Summary: The population-level distributions of the masses, spins, and redshifts of binary black holes (BBHs) observed using gravitational waves can shed light on how these systems form and evolve. Because of the complex […]

Unsupervised Learning of Accurate Siamese Tracking

Kavli Affiliate: Li Xin Li | First 5 Authors: Qiuhong Shen, Lei Qiao, Jinyang Guo, Peixia Li, Xin Li | Summary: Unsupervised learning has been popular in various computer vision tasks, including visual object tracking. However, prior unsupervised tracking approaches rely heavily on spatial supervision from template-search pairs and are still unable to track objects […]

Software Rasterization of 2 Billion Points in Real Time

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Wimmer | First 5 Authors: Markus Schütz, Bernhard Kerbl, Michael Wimmer, , | Summary: We propose a software rasterization pipeline for point clouds that is capable of brute-force rendering up to two billion points in real time (60fps). Improvements over the state of the art are achieved by batching points in a […]

The orientations of the binary black holes in GWTC-3

Kavli Affiliate: Salvatore Vitale | First 5 Authors: Salvatore Vitale, Sylvia Biscoveanu, Colm Talbot, , | Summary: It is expected that the orbital planes of gravitational-wave (GW) sources are isotropically distributed. However, both physical and technical factors, such as alternate theories of gravity with birefringence, catalog contamination, and search algorithm limitations, could result in inferring […]

Spatially resolved molecular interstellar medium in a $z=6.6$ quasar host galaxy

Kavli Affiliate: Ran Wang | First 5 Authors: Jianan Li, Bram P. Venemans, Fabian Walter, Roberto Decarli, Ran Wang | Summary: We present high spatial resolution (0.4", 2.2kpc) observations of the CO(6-5), CO(7-6) and [CI] lines and dust continuum emission from the interstellar medium in the host galaxy of the quasar J0305$-$3150 at $z=6.6$. These, […]

GTP-bound E. coli FtsZ filaments are composed of Tense monomers: A DNP NMR study using interface detection.

Kavli Affiliate: Ann McDermott | Authors: Kelsey M McCoy and Ann E McDermott | Summary: FtsZ filaments are the major structural component of the bacterial Z-ring and are drivers of bacterial division. While crystal structures for FtsZ from some gram positive bacteria in the presence of GTP-analog like compounds suggest the possibility of a high […]

Long-range inhibition synchronizes and updates prefrontal task activity

Kavli Affiliate: Vikaas Sohal | Authors: Kathleen Cho, Jingcheng Shi and Vikaas Singh Sohal | Summary: Changes in patterns of activity within the medial prefrontal cortex enable rodents, non-human primates, and humans to update their behavior to adapt to changes in the environment, e.g., during cognitive tasks1–5. Within medial prefrontal cortex, inhibitory neurons expressing parvalbumin […]
