Kavli Affiliate: Xiang Zhang | First 5 Authors: Zongyu Wu, Minhua Lin, Zhiwei Zhang, Fali Wang, Xianren Zhang | Summary: Large vision-language models (LVLMs) have demonstrated outstanding performance in many downstream tasks. However, LVLMs are trained on large-scale datasets, which can pose privacy risks if training images contain sensitive information. Therefore, it is important to […]
Kavli Affiliate: Noah A. Kurinsky | First 5 Authors: Riley J. Carpenter, Jadyn Anczarski, Ivar Rydstrom, Aviv Simchony, Zoe J. Smith | Summary: Predictable circuit response is a critical prerequisite for accurate electronic measurements. We describe a powerful, yet straightforward, experimental method and analysis model that utilizes an affordable LCR meter in conjunction with an […]
Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: Federica Loiacono, Roberto Gilli, Marco Mignoli, Giovanni Mazzolari, Roberto Decarli | Summary: We report the discovery of a little red dot (LRD), dubbed BiRD (‘big red dot’), at $z=2.33$ in the field around the $z=6.3$ quasar SDSSJ1030+0524. Using NIRCam images, we identified it as a bright outlier […]
Kavli Affiliate: Sara Seager | First 5 Authors: David Berardo, Julien de Wit, Michael Gillon, Ward S. Howard, Vincent Bourrier | Summary: Ly-$alpha$ observations provide a powerful probe of stellar activity and atmospheric escape in exoplanetary systems. We present here an analysis of 104 HST/STIS orbits monitoring the TRAPPIST-1 system between 2017 and 2022, covering […]
Kavli Affiliate: Avi Shporer | First 5 Authors: Patrick Tamburo, Samuel W. Yee, Juliana García-Mejía, David Charbonneau, Allyson Bieryla | Summary: TOI-3884~b is an unusual 6.4~R$_oplus$ planet orbiting an M4 host, whose transits display large and persistent spot-crossing events. We used the textit{Tierras} Observatory to monitor both the long-term photometric variability of TOI-3884 and changes […]
Kavli Affiliate: Natalia Chepiga | First 5 Authors: Jose Soto-Garcia, Natalia Chepiga, , , | Summary: Chains of Rydberg atoms have emerged as an amazing platform for simulating quantum physics in low dimensions. This remarkable success is due to the versatility of lattice geometries achieved by trapping neutral atoms with optical tweezers. On a given […]
Kavli Affiliate: Rui Costa | Authors: Ian Cone, Claudia Clopath and Rui Ponte Costa | Summary: Behavioral Timescale Synaptic Plasticity (BTSP) is a form of synaptic plasticity in which dendritic Ca2+ plateau potentials in hippocampal pyramidal neurons drive rapid place field formation. Unlike traditional learning rules, BTSP learns correlations on the timescales of seconds and […]
Kavli Affiliate: Feng Wang | First 5 Authors: Peng Wang, Suman Sourav, Binbin Chen, Hongyan Li, Feng Wang | Summary: Time-Triggered Communication is a key technology for many safety-critical systems, with applications spanning the areas of aerospace and industrial control. Such communication relies on time-triggered flows, with each flow consisting of periodic packets originating from […]
Kavli Affiliate: Li Xin Li | First 5 Authors: Sencan Sun, Congyi Nai, Baoxiang Pan, Wentao Li, Xin Li | Summary: Precipitation remains one of the most challenging climate variables to observe and predict accurately. Existing datasets face intricate trade-offs: gauge observations are relatively trustworthy but sparse, satellites provide global coverage with retrieval uncertainties, and […]
Kavli Affiliate: Sara Seager | First 5 Authors: Sara Seager, Janusz J. Petkowski, William Bains, , | Summary: Thousands of exoplanets orbit nearby stars, showcasing a remarkable diversity in mass, size, and orbits. With the James Webb Space Telescope now operational, we are observing exoplanet atmospheres and aiming to reach down to small, habitable-zone exoplanets […]
