Gravitational Redshift Detection from the Magnetic White Dwarf Harbored in RX J1712.6-2414
(2023-04-28)Gravitational redshift is a fundamental parameter that allows us to determine the mass-to-radius ratio of compact stellar objects, such as black holes, neutron stars, and white dwarfs (WDs). In the X-ray spectra of the ... -
Reducing Aerosol Forcing Uncertainty By Combining Models with Satellite and Within-the-Atmosphere Observations: A Three-Way Street
(AGU, 2023-05-03)Aerosol forcing uncertainty represents the largest climate forcing uncertainty overall. Its magnitude has remained virtually undiminished over the past 20 years despite considerable advances in understanding most of the ... -
Atmospheric nourishment of global ocean ecosystems
(AAAS, 2023-05-04)Over the vast open ocean, vital nutrients for phytoplankton growth in the sunlit surface layer are largely provided through physical transport from deep waters, but some nutrients are also provided through atmospheric ... -
HeteroEdge: Addressing Asymmetry in Heterogeneous Collaborative Autonomous Systems
(2023-05-05)Gathering knowledge about surroundings and generating situational awareness for IoT devices is of utmost importance for systems developed for smart urban and uncontested environments. For example, a large-area surveillance ... -
A Comprehensive Study of Gradient Inversion Attacks in Federated Learning and Baseline Defense Strategies
(IEEE, 2023-04-10)With a greater emphasis on data confidentiality and legislation, collaborative machine learning algorithms are being developed to protect sensitive private data. Federated learning (FL) is the most popular of these methods, ... -
Advancing Atmospheric Thermodynamic Sounding from Space using Hyperspectral Microwave Measurements

A Cross-correlation Study between IceCube Neutrino Events and the Fermi Unresolved Gamma-ray Sky
(2023-04-21)With the coincident detections of electromagnetic radiation together with gravitational waves (GW170817) or neutrinos (TXS 0506+056), the new era of multimessenger astrophysics has begun. Of particular interest are the ... -
OH, HO₂, and RO₂ radical chemistry in a rural forest environment: Measurements, model comparisons, and evidence of a missing radical sink
(EGU, 2023-04-24)The hydroxyl (OH), hydroperoxy (HO₂), and organic peroxy (RO₂) radicals play important roles in atmospheric chemistry. In the presence of nitrogen oxides (NOₓ), reactions between OH and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) ... -
MAPPING AREAS IMPACTED BY VOLCANIC FLOWS DURING AN ERUPTION USING SYNTHETIC APERTURE RADAR AND OPTICAL IMAGERY
(ISPRS, 2023-04-21)During volcanic disasters, the remoteness of the terrains combined with potentially incapacitated lifelines (e.g., disturbed transportation network) prevent ground-based surveys for timely assessment of damage extents. To ... -
