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: , , , , | 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 gas mass and molecular gas mass surface density […]

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 […]
