Polarization of reflected X-ray emission from Sgr A molecular complex: multiple flares, multiple sources?

Kavli Affiliate: Nicola Omodei | First 5 Authors: Ildar Khabibullin, Ildar Khabibullin, , , | Summary: Extended X-ray emission observed in the direction of several molecular clouds in the Central Molecular Zone (CMZ) of our Galaxy exhibits spectral and temporal properties consistent with the `X-ray echo’ scenario. It postulates that the observed signal is a […]

SPT-3G D1: Axion Early Dark Energy with CMB experiments and DESI

Kavli Affiliate: Chao-Lin Kuo | First 5 Authors: A. R. Khalife, A. R. Khalife, , , | Summary: We present the most up-to-date constraints on axion early dark energy (AEDE) from cosmic microwave background (CMB) and baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) measurements. In particular, we assess the impact of data from ground-based CMB experiments, the South […]

Detecting Intermediate-mass Black Holes Using Miniature Pulsar Timing Arrays in Globular Clusters

Kavli Affiliate: Kejia Lee | First 5 Authors: Xian Chen, Xian Chen, , , | Summary: Theoretical models predict that intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) exist in globular clusters (GCs), but observational evidence remains elusive. Millisecond pulsars (MSPs), which are abundant in GCs and have served as precise probes for gravitational waves (GWs), offer a unique […]

Statistics of velocity gradient and vortex sheet structures in polymeric turbulent von K{á}rm{á}n swirling flow

Kavli Affiliate: Feng Wang | First 5 Authors: Feng Wang, Yi-Bao Zhang, Ping-Fan Yang, Heng-Dong Xi, | Summary: Investigations into the effects of polymers on small-scale statistics and flow patterns were conducted in a turbulent von Karman swirling (VKS) flow. We employed the tomographic particle image velocimetry (Tomo-PIV) technique to obtain full information on three-dimensional […]

Low-Rank Adapting Models for Sparse Autoencoders

Kavli Affiliate: Max Tegmark | First 5 Authors: Matthew Chen, Joshua Engels, Max Tegmark, , | Summary: Sparse autoencoders (SAEs) decompose language model representations into a sparse set of linear latent vectors. Recent works have improved SAEs using language model gradients, but these techniques require many expensive backward passes during training and still cause a […]
