Kavli Affiliate: Long Zhang | First 5 Authors: Javier Ron, César Soto-Valero, Long Zhang, Benoit Baudry, Martin Monperrus | Summary: As all software, blockchain nodes are exposed to faults in their underlying execution stack. Unstable execution environments can disrupt the availability of blockchain nodes interfaces, resulting in downtime for users. This paper introduces the concept […]
Kavli Affiliate: Andrew Vanderburg | First 5 Authors: Caleb K. Harada, Courtney D. Dressing, Munazza K. Alam, James Kirk, Mercedes Lopez-Morales | Summary: Moons orbiting exoplanets ("exomoons") may hold clues about planet formation, migration, and habitability. In this work, we investigate the plausibility of exomoons orbiting the temperate ($T_text{eq}=294$ K) giant ($R = 9.2$ R$_oplus$) […]
Kavli Affiliate: Saul A. Rappaport | First 5 Authors: Veselin B. Kostov, Tamas Borkovits, Saul A. Rappaport, Brian P. Powell, Andras Pal | Summary: We present the discovery of a new highly compact quadruple star system, TIC 219006972, consisting of two eclipsing binary stars with orbital periods of 8.3 days and 13.7 days, and an […]

Kavli Affiliate: Saul Rappaport | First 5 Authors: Kevin B. Burdge, Kareem El-Badry, Saul Rappaport, Tin Long Sunny Wong, Evan B. Bauer | Summary: We report the discovery of ZTF J0127+5258, a compact mass-transferring binary with an orbital period of 13.7 minutes. The system contains a white dwarf accretor, which likely originated as a post-common […]
Kavli Affiliate: Max Tegmark | First 5 Authors: Eric J. Michaud, Ziming Liu, Uzay Girit, Max Tegmark, | Summary: We propose the Quantization Model of neural scaling laws, explaining both the observed power law dropoff of loss with model and data size, and also the sudden emergence of new capabilities with scale. We derive this […]

Kavli Affiliate: Anna Frebel | First 5 Authors: Xiaowei Ou, Anna-Christina Eilers, Lina Necib, Anna Frebel, | Summary: In this paper, we construct the circular velocity curve of the Milky Way out to $sim 30$ kpc, providing an updated model of the dark matter density profile. We derive precise parallaxes for 120,309 stars with a […]
Kavli Affiliate: Srijit Goswami | First 5 Authors: Máté Kedves, Bálint Szentpéteri, Albin Márffy, Endre Tóvári, Nikos Papadopoulos | Summary: Bilayer graphene (BLG) was recently shown to host a band-inverted phase with unconventional topology emerging from the Ising-type spin–orbit interaction (SOI) induced by the proximity of transition metal dichalcogenides with large intrinsic SOI. Here, we […]
Kavli Affiliate: Masahiro Kawasaki | First 5 Authors: Yi Xu, Masami Ouchi, Yuki Isobe, Kimihiko Nakajima, Shinobu Ozaki | Summary: We present demography of the dynamics and gas-mass fraction of 33 extremely metal-poor galaxies (EMPGs) with metallicities of $0.015-0.195~Z_odot$ and low stellar masses of $10^4-10^8~M_odot$ in the local universe. We conduct deep optical integral-field spectroscopy […]
