Evidence for A Hot Wind from High-resolution X-ray Spectroscopic Observation of the Low-luminosity Active Galactic Nucleus in NGC 7213

Posted by klaurent Peking

Kavli Affiliate: Feng Yuan | First 5 Authors: Fangzheng Shi, Bocheng Zhu, Zhiyuan Li, Feng Yuan, | Summary: Super-massive black holes (SMBHs) spend most of their lifetime accreting at a rate well below the Eddington limit, manifesting themselves as low-luminosity active galactic nuclei (LLAGNs). The prevalence of a hot wind from LLAGNs is a generic […]

Multi-Wavelength Mitigation of Stellar Activity in Astrometric Planet Detection

Posted by klaurent Stanford

Kavli Affiliate: Bruce Macintosh | First 5 Authors: Avi Kaplan-Lipkin, Bruce Macintosh, Alexander Madurowicz, Sowmya Krishnamurthy, Alexander Shapiro | Summary: Astrometric detection of exoplanets by stellar reflex motion will be made possible for giant planets by the recent Gaia mission and for Earth-like planets by proposed missions such as LUVOIR. At the theoretical limits, astrometry […]

Multiwavelength Mitigation of Stellar Activity in Astrometric Planet Detection

Posted by klaurent Stanford

Kavli Affiliate: Bruce Macintosh | First 5 Authors: Avi Kaplan-Lipkin, Bruce Macintosh, Alexander Madurowicz, Krishnamurthy Sowmya, Alexander Shapiro | Summary: Astrometry has long been a promising technique for exoplanet detection. At the theoretical limits, astrometry would allow for the detection of smaller planets than previously seen by current exoplanet search methods, but stellar activity may […]

Embracing Single Stride 3D Object Detector with Sparse Transformer

Posted by klaurent Berkeley

Kavli Affiliate: Feng Wang | First 5 Authors: Lue Fan, Ziqi Pang, Tianyuan Zhang, Yu-Xiong Wang, Hang Zhao | Summary: In LiDAR-based 3D object detection for autonomous driving, the ratio of the object size to input scene size is significantly smaller compared to 2D detection cases. Overlooking this difference, many 3D detectors directly follow the […]

Top-heavy stellar mass distribution in galactic nuclei inferred from the universally high abundance ratio of [Fe/Mg]

Posted by klaurent Peking

Kavli Affiliate: Kohei Inayoshi | First 5 Authors: Daisuke Toyouchi, Kohei Inayoshi, Miho N. Ishigaki, Nozomu Tominaga, | Summary: Recent observations of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) have shown a high Fe~II/Mg~II line-flux ratio in their broad-line regions, nearly independent of redshift up to $z gtrsim 6$. The high flux ratio requires rapid production of iron […]

Optimal transport and control of active drops

Posted by klaurent Harvard

Kavli Affiliate: L. Mahadevan | First 5 Authors: Suraj Shankar, Vidya Raju, L. Mahadevan, , | Summary: Understanding the complex patterns in space-time exhibited by active systems has been the subject of much interest in recent times. Complementing this forward problem is the inverse problem of controlling active matter. Here we use optimal control theory […]

Spectral Distortion Anisotropy from Inflation for Primordial Black Holes

Posted by klaurent Chicago

Kavli Affiliate: Wayne Hu | First 5 Authors: David Zegeye, Keisuke Inomata, Wayne Hu, , | Summary: Single field inflationary models that seek to greatly enhance small scale power in order to form primordial black holes predict both a squeezed bispectrum that is enhanced by this small scale power and a potentially detectable enhancement of […]
