On the connection between nitrogen-enhanced field stars and the Galactic globular clusters

Kavli Affiliate: Andrey Kravtsov | First 5 Authors: Sarah G. Kane, Sarah G. Kane, , , | Summary: As sites of some of the most efficient star formation in the Universe, globular clusters (GCs) have long been hypothesized to be the building blocks of young galaxies. Within the Milky Way, our best tracers of the […]

A carbon-rich atmosphere on a windy pulsar planet

Kavli Affiliate: Roger W. Romani | First 5 Authors: Michael Zhang, Michael Zhang, , , | Summary: A handful of enigmatic Jupiter-mass objects have been discovered orbiting pulsars. One such object, PSR J2322-2650b, uniquely resembles a hot Jupiter exoplanet due to its minimum density of 1.8 g/cm^3 and its ~1900 K equilibrium temperature. We use […]

PromptEnhancer: A Simple Approach to Enhance Text-to-Image Models via Chain-of-Thought Prompt Rewriting

Kavli Affiliate: Li Xin Li | First 5 Authors: Linqing Wang, Linqing Wang, , , | Summary: Recent advancements in text-to-image (T2I) diffusion models have demonstrated remarkable capabilities in generating high-fidelity images. However, these models often struggle to faithfully render complex user prompts, particularly in aspects like attribute binding, negation, and compositional relationships. This leads […]

Optical Fiber-Waveguide Hybrid Architecture for Mid-Infrared Ring Lasers

Kavli Affiliate: Long Zhang | First 5 Authors: Tinghui An, Tinghui An, , , | Summary: We report a mid-infrared ring laser via fiber-to-waveguide hybrid integration enabled by directional couplers fabricated in fluoride glasses. Directional couplers were inscribed into fluoride glass using femtosecond laser direct writing, forming low-loss waveguides with a high positive refractive index […]
