Kavli Affiliate: Li Xin Li | First 5 Authors: Yifan Li, Xin Li, Tianqin Li, Wenbin He, Yu Kong | Summary: Vision foundation models (VFMs) have demonstrated remarkable performance across a wide range of downstream tasks. While several VFM adapters have shown promising results by leveraging the prior knowledge of VFMs, we identify two inefficiencies […]
Kavli Affiliate: Risa H. Wechsler | First 5 Authors: Bryce Wedig, Tansu Daylan, Simon Birrer, Francis-Yan Cyr-Racine, Cora Dvorkin | Summary: Galaxy-galaxy strong gravitational lenses can constrain dark matter models and the Lambda Cold Dark Matter cosmological paradigm at sub-galactic scales. Currently, there is a dearth of images of these rare systems with high signal-to-noise […]
Kavli Affiliate: Peter W. Graham | First 5 Authors: Peter W. Graham, Davide Racco, , , | Summary: The QCD axion has important connections to early universe cosmology. For example, it is often said that isocurvature limits rule out a combination of high axion decay constant, $f_a$, and high inflationary Hubble scale, $H_I$. High scales […]
Kavli Affiliate: Michael McDonald | First 5 Authors: Laurel White, Michael McDonald, Francesco Ubertosi, Massimo Gaspari, Julie Hlavacek-Larrondo | Summary: We present a new 8.5 ks Chandra observation of Abell 1885, obtained as part of the Cluster Evolution Reference Ensemble At Low-z (CEREAL) survey of ~200 low-z galaxy groups and clusters. These data reveal that […]
Kavli Affiliate: Debora Sijacki | First 5 Authors: Sergio Martin-Alvarez, Debora Sijacki, Martin G. Haehnelt, Alice Concas, Yuxuan Yuan | Summary: Dwarf galaxies provide powerful laboratories for studying galaxy formation physics. Their early assembly, shallow gravitational potentials, and bursty, clustered star formation histories make them especially sensitive to the processes that regulate baryons through multi-phase […]
Kavli Affiliate: Oskar Painter | First 5 Authors: Alexey V. Gorshkov, Daniel Cohen, Arbel Haim, Amit Rotem, Or Golan | Summary: We propose a cavity-mediated gate between two transmon qubits or other nonlinear superconducting elements. The gate is realized by driving both qubits at a frequency that is near-resonant with the frequency of the cavity. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Robert A. Simcoe | First 5 Authors: Daichi Kashino, Simon J. Lilly, Jorryt Matthee, Ruari Mackenzie, Anna-Christina Eilers | Summary: We present a comprehensive analysis of the relationship between galaxies and the intergalactic medium (IGM) during the late stages of cosmic reionization, based on the complete JWST EIGER dataset. Using deep NIRCam $3.5,mathrm{mu […]
Kavli Affiliate: Joshua A. Frieman | First 5 Authors: TDCOSMO Collaboration, Simon Birrer, Elizabeth J. Buckley-Geer, Michele Cappellari, Frédéric Courbin | Summary: We present cosmological constraints from 8 strongly lensed quasars (hereafter, the TDCOSMO-2025 sample). Building on previous work, our analysis incorporated new deflector stellar velocity dispersions measured from spectra obtained with the James Webb […]

Kavli Affiliate: Eric D. Miller | First 5 Authors: Megumi Shidatsu, Yukikatsu Terada, Takashi Kominato, So Kato, Ryohei Sato | Summary: We report the results from the ground and on-orbit verifications of the XRISM timing system when the satellite clock is not synchronized to the GPS time. In this case, the time is determined by […]
