Kavli Affiliate: Aaron Roodman | Summary:The Vera C. Rubin Observatory, with its unprecedented field of view and fast focal ratio, will survey the entire sky every 3.5 nights. This unique capacity requires dealing with off axis light that can produce stray light artefacts on the images. The secondary mirror (M2) baffle restricts the light that […]
Kavli Affiliate: David W. Miller | Summary:While post-training backdoor detection and trigger inversion schemes have been developed for AIs used e.g. for images, there is a paucity of such methods for LLMs. First, the LLM input space is discrete, with up to 150,000^k k-tuples to consider with k the token-length of a putative trigger. Second, […]

Kavli Affiliate: Bjoern Schwer | Authors: Joseph A Stewart, Jeanmarie Mishler, Samreen Ahmed, Bjoern Schwer, Thomas W. Glover and Thomas E Wilson | Summary: High-fidelity detection of rare structural variants (SVs) remains challenging because library preparation and sequencing techniques generate artifactual junctions that obscure true single-molecule events. Here, we present HiFiRe3, an error-minimized sequencing framework […]
Kavli Affiliate: Masahito Yamazaki | Summary:This paper presents a curated selection of research questions at the intersection of quantum gravity and quantum information, chosen to highlight issues that we regard as particularly important for researchers in both fields. We organize the discussion into four main themes: the operational characterization of observables, the role of observers, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Anthony Lasenby | Summary:The dark sector need not be restricted to simple field content. Indeed, simple bosonic configurations, such as scalar-tensor or dark photon models, contrast with the much richer picture painted by many ultraviolet scenarios. Polology is the study of propagator poles, which correspond to particle states in any given theory. We […]

Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | Summary:The advent of JWST has revealed a large population of AGN at $z>4$, which are $sim1$ dex more abundant than previously expected, including also the enigmatic population of Little Red Dots (LRDs). Remarkably, the vast majority of JWST-discovered AGN and LRDs are not detected in X-rays, and most of them […]
Kavli Affiliate: Bruce Macintosh | Summary:We report the detection of a new brown dwarf companion to HIP 17453 A, a chemically peculiar A0V star located at a distance of 81 pc. HIP 17453 A was observed with high-resolution adaptive optics imaging using the Near-Infrared Camera 2 on the Keck II telescope as part of the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Robert Simcoe | Summary:JWST’s Little Red Dots (LRDs) display a unique constellation of features that do not occur simultaneously in any other class of galaxies or AGN. Here we observe that many of these features find parallels in the 19th century Great Eruption (GE) of $η$ Carinae and a sub-class of supernovae (Type […]
