Multi-wavelength Emission from the Fermi Bubble III. Stochastic (Fermi) Re-Acceleration of Relativistic Electrons Emitted by SNRs
We analyse the model of stochastic re-acceleration of electrons, which are
emitted by supernova remnants (SNRs) in the Galactic Disk and propagate then
into the Galactic halo, in order to explain the origin on nonthermal (radio and
gamma-ray) emission from the Fermi Bubbles (FB). We assume that the energy for
re-acceleration in the halo is supplied by shocks generated by processes of
star accretion onto the central black hole. Numerical simulations show that
regions with strong turbulence (places for electron re-acceleration) are
located high up in the Galactic Halo about several kpc above the disk. The
energy of SNR electrons that reach these regions does not exceed several GeV
because of synchrotron and inverse Compton energy losses. At appropriate
parameters of re-acceleration these electrons can be re-accelerated up to the
energy 10E12 eV which explains in this model the origin of the observed radio
and gamma-ray emission from the FB. However although the model gamma-ray
spectrum is consistent with the Fermi results, the model radio spectrum is
steeper than the observed by WMAP and Planck. If adiabatic losses due to plasma
outflow from the Galactic central regions are taken into account, then the
re-acceleration model nicely reproduces the Planck datapoints.Comment: 33 pages, 8 figures, accepted by Ap
Bi-PointFlowNet: Bidirectional Learning for Point Cloud Based Scene Flow Estimation
Scene flow estimation, which extracts point-wise motion between scenes, is
becoming a crucial task in many computer vision tasks. However, all of the
existing estimation methods utilize only the unidirectional features,
restricting the accuracy and generality. This paper presents a novel scene flow
estimation architecture using bidirectional flow embedding layers. The proposed
bidirectional layer learns features along both forward and backward directions,
enhancing the estimation performance. In addition, hierarchical feature
extraction and warping improve the performance and reduce computational
overhead. Experimental results show that the proposed architecture achieved a
new state-of-the-art record by outperforming other approaches with large margin
in both FlyingThings3D and KITTI benchmarks. Codes are available at
