Kavli Affiliate: Risa H. Wechsler | First 5 Authors: Yasmeen Asali, Yasmeen Asali, , , | Summary: We investigate how Milky Way-like environments influence the sizes and structural properties of low-mass galaxies by comparing satellites of Milky Way analogs from the Satellites Around Galactic Analogs (SAGA) Survey with two control samples: an environmentally agnostic population […]
Kavli Affiliate: Dimitri Mawet| Summary:Stellar multiplicity plays a crucial role in shaping planet formation and dynamical evolution. We present a survey of 54 TESS Objects of Interest (TOIs) within 300 pc that exhibit significant Hipparcos-Gaia astrometric accelerations. We identified 35 TOIs with stellar companions at projected separations between $0.1^primeprime$ to $2^primeprime$ (or $10-200$ AU). We […]
Kavli Affiliate: Sara Seager | Summary:Today’s most detailed characterization of exoplanet atmospheres is accessible via transit spectroscopy (TS). Detecting transiting exoplanets only yields their size, and it is thus standard to measure a planet’s mass before moving towards their atmospheric characterization, or even the publication of their discovery. This framework, however, can act as a […]
Kavli Affiliate: Yi Zhou | First 5 Authors: Jan Held, Jan Held, , , | Summary: Reconstructing 3D scenes and synthesizing novel views has seen rapid progress in recent years. Neural Radiance Fields demonstrated that continuous volumetric radiance fields can achieve high-quality image synthesis, but their long training and rendering times limit practicality. 3D Gaussian […]
Kavli Affiliate: Feng Wang | First 5 Authors: Feng Wang, Feng Wang, , , | Summary: jina-reranker-v3 is a 0.6B-parameter multilingual listwise reranker that introduces a novel "last but not late" interaction. Unlike late interaction models like ColBERT that encode documents separately before multi-vector matching, our approach applies causal attention between the query and all […]
Kavli Affiliate: Lile Wang |Summary:Molecular hydrogen (H$_2$) is one of the key chemical species that controls and shapes a wide spectrum of astrophysical processes from galaxy evolution to planet formation. Although catalyzation on dust grain surfaces is the dominant formation channel of H$_2$ in the interstellar medium, its efficiency across $20-200~rm K$ has remained not […]
Kavli Affiliate: Lile Wang |Summary:Molecular hydrogen (H$_2$) plays a critical role in astrophysical processes from galaxy evolution to the formation of planets. While the dominant formation channel in the interstellar medium is considered as dust-catalyzed H$_2$ formation, this process could become inefficient at low temperatures suppressed by the Boltzmann factor. This work demonstrates that quantum […]
Kavli Affiliate: Misao Sasaki | Summary:We investigate how inflation can emerge from four-fermion interactions generated by spacetime torsion, eliminating the need for additional scalar fields beyond the Standard Model. We partition fermions in two sectors and introduce two bound fields. In the effective theory approach, once all the fermions have been integrated out, the bound […]
Kavli Affiliate: Feng Wang | First 5 Authors: Feng Wang, Feng Wang, , , | Summary: A high-precision silicon microstrip detector assembly methodology based on a gantry system is presented in this paper. The proposed approach has been applied to the mass production of all flight-model detector modules for the L0 tracking detector in the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Cheng Peng | First 5 Authors: Shuiguang Deng, Shuiguang Deng, , , | Summary: The rise of large language model (LLM)-powered agents is transforming services computing, moving it beyond static, request-driven functions toward dynamic, goal-oriented, and socially embedded multi-agent ecosystems. We propose Agentic Services Computing (ASC), a paradigm that reimagines services as autonomous, […]
