Kavli Affiliate: David Shoemaker| First 5 Authors: DUNE Collaboration, DUNE Collaboration, , , | Summary:The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) is a next-generation neutrino experiment with a rich physics program that includes searches for the hypothetical phenomenon of proton decay. Utilizing liquid-argon time-projection chamber technology, DUNE is expected to achieve world-leading sensitivity in the proton […]
Kavli Affiliate: Bruce Macintosh | Summary:We present high-contrast direct spectroscopy of the low-mass, cool exoplanet 51 Eridani b (2-4 M$_textrmJup$, $sim$750 K) using JWST / NIRSpec in a fixed-slit configuration (F290LP / G395H, $3-5,μ$m, R$sim$2,700). A cross correlation analysis between the continuum-subtracted data and atmospheric forward models indicates a detection of molecular signals of planetary […]
Kavli Affiliate: Xiang Zhang | First 5 Authors: Xiang Zhang, Xiang Zhang, , , | Summary: Autoregressive (AR) models, common in sequence generation, are limited in many biological tasks such as de novo peptide sequencing and protein modeling by their unidirectional nature, failing to capture crucial global bidirectional token dependencies. Non-Autoregressive (NAR) models offer holistic, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Michael Wimmer | Summary:Although variable-rate compressed image formats such as JPEG are widely used to efficiently encode images, they have not found their way into real-time rendering due to special requirements such as random access to individual texels. In this paper, we investigate the feasibility of variable-rate texture compression on modern GPUs using […]
Kavli Affiliate: Long Zhang | First 5 Authors: Long Zhang, Long Zhang, , , | Summary: Altermagnets have recently garnered significant interest due to their vanishing net magnetic moment and non-relativistic momentum-dependent spin splitting. However, altermagnetic (AM) multiferroics especially triferroics remain scarce. We investigate the experimentally synthesized non-van der Waals CrSb as a model system […]
Kavli Affiliate: Salman Habib | Summary:We present a multi-modal foundation model for astrophysical galaxy data, designed to map between simulation- and observation-based galactic features. Our encoder-only transformer flexibly ingests scalar quantities (e.g., redshifts, galaxy masses) and vectors (e.g., star formation histories, spectra), supporting multi-task training that includes within-modality reconstruction and cross-modality prediction. With a dynamic […]
Kavli Affiliate: Kaisey Mandel | Summary:Supernova H0pe is a multiply-imaged Type Ia supernova (SN~Ia) and the second lensed SN to yield a measurement of the Hubble constant by the time-delay cosmography method, finding $H_0 = 75.4^+8.1_-5.5 textkm s^-1 textMpc^-1$ (Pascale et. al 2025). We investigate the seven lens modeling approaches used to derive $H_0$, assessing […]

Kavli Affiliate: Erin Kara | Summary:X-ray binary accretion disk winds can carry away a significant fraction of the matter transferred from the companion and hence strongly affect the accretion flow and the long-term evolution of the binary. However, accurate mass outflow rate measurements are challenging due to uncertainties in our understanding of the 3D wind […]
