Chemical enrichment of the Perseus cluster core seen by XRISM/Resolve

Kavli Affiliate: Erin Kara | Summary:The intracluster medium (ICM) is rich in chemical elements, produced by core-collapse (SNcc) and Type Ia supernovae (SNIa) over the last $sim$12 Gyr. Whereas cluster outskirts are uniformly enriched with Fe at $sim$0.3 solar – strongly suggesting that the gas had been pre-enriched during or before the assembly of galaxies […]

Constraints on Late-Time Flaring from Luminous Fast Blue Optical Transients using the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite and the Zwicky Transient Facility

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Fausnaugh | Summary:The Luminous Fast Blue Optical Transient (LFBOT) AT2022tsd exhibited minutes-timescale optical flares in the tens of days following the initial transient event, likely due to a central engine — either an accreting black hole or a magnetar. In this paper, we use data from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) […]

Scalable Bayesian data curation for next-generation radio experiments

Kavli Affiliate: George Efstathiou | Summary:Next-generation radio telescopes produce data volumes that preclude manual quality assessment, yet data curation remains essential for science. We present a general, fully automatic Bayesian anomaly-detection method for radio science experiments in which data curation is performed inside the inference: a latent anomaly indicator is marginalised in the likelihood rather […]

Dynamically suppressed lattice rotations in SrTiO$_3$ as a basis for photo-induced ferroelectricity

Kavli Affiliate: Ankit Disa | Summary:Photo-induced ferroelectricity in the quantum paraelectric SrTiO$_3$ involves the dynamical interplay between a coherently driven Ti-O stretching vibration and multiple structural degrees of freedom, including antiferrodistortive rotations, strain, and the polar mode instability. In the high-temperature cubic phase, in the absence of average antiferrodistortion, time-resolved X-ray diffuse scattering has evidenced […]

The Dynamics of Old Inner Galaxy Stars in Milky Way-mass Galaxies Using FIRE-2 Simulations

Kavli Affiliate: Lina Necib | Summary:Understanding how galaxies like the Milky Way assembled over cosmic time remains a central question in astrophysics. Understanding the processes that shaped their formation and evolution is greatly enhanced by the joint use of observational data and high-resolution cosmological simulations. Old stars in the inner regions of galaxies serve as […]

High-performance gates on trapped ion qubits using counterpropagating pulse-shaped laser beams

Kavli Affiliate: Susan Clark | Summary:Highly-localized light-matter interactions are necessary for scaling trapped-ion architectures. In hyperfine qubits, counterpropagating beams generate entangling gates by coupling with motion, but this effect is undesirable during single-qubit operations. For that reason, single-qubit gates are traditionally implemented with copropagating beams, and the coexistence of two beam geometries adds hardware and […]

The Logic of Thalamic Inputs onto the Molecular Taxonomy of Cortical Neurons Reveals a Visual Hierarchy

Kavli Affiliate: Xin Duan and Massimo Scanziani | Authors: Xinxin Ge, Xing Wei, Baixi Ruan, Qin Ying Wu, Siyuan Chang, Nicole Tsai, Shaobo Zhang, Xin Duan and Massimo Scanziani | Summary: The hierarchical organization of sensory cortices and the rich molecular taxonomy of their cell types are defining features of the mammalian cortex. Cortical areas […]

Beyond Accuracy: Measuring Bias Acknowledgment in Chain-of-Thought Reasoning for Responsible AI Evaluation

Kavli Affiliate: Wei Gao| Summary:Reasoning models are increasingly used in settings where the final answer is not the only object of review: educational tools may show students intermediate steps, decision-support systems may require human oversight, and audit workflows may inspect traces for misleading or biased input. In such settings, two responses can receive the same […]
