Not-so-heavy metal(s): Chemical Abundances in the Ultra-faint Dwarf Galaxies Eridanus IV and Centaurus I

Kavli Affiliate: Alexander P. Ji | First 5 Authors: MairĂ©ad E Heiger, MairĂ©ad E Heiger, , , | Summary: We present detailed chemical abundances of the brightest star in each of the ultra-faint dwarf galaxies Eridanus IV and Centaurus I using high-resolution Magellan/MIKE spectroscopy. The brightest star in Centaurus I, CenI-5136, is a very metal-poor […]

The On-shell Gravity Action and Linear Dilaton Holography

Kavli Affiliate: Savdeep Sethi | First 5 Authors: Andrea Dei, Andrea Dei, , , | Summary: Computing the Euclidean spacetime action on-shell provides a useful way of both testing holographic proposals and determining the string theory sphere partition function. We consider families of three-dimensional linear dilaton spacetimes for which there are holographic proposals that share […]

Teaching LLMs to Speak Spectroscopy

Kavli Affiliate: Salman Habib | First 5 Authors: Nesar Ramachandra, Nesar Ramachandra, , , | Summary: Pre-trained Large Language Models (LLMs) have revolutionized text processing, yet adapting Transformer-based neural networks to non-textual scientific modalities typically requires specialized architectures and extensive computational resources. We demonstrate that LLaMA-3.1-8B can be efficiently repurposed to predict galaxy redshifts from […]

Sensitivity of an Early Dark Matter Search using the Electromagnetic Calorimeter as a Target for the Light Dark Matter eXperiment

Kavli Affiliate: Gordan Krnjaic | First 5 Authors: LDMX Collaboration, LDMX Collaboration, , , | Summary: The Light Dark Matter eXperiment (LDMX) is proposed to employ a thin tungsten target and a multi-GeV electron beam to carry out a missing momentum search for the production of dark matter candidate particles. We study the sensitivity for […]

Cogito, ergo – strings: Supersymmetric ergoregions and their stringy excitations

Kavli Affiliate: Emil J. Martinec | First 5 Authors: Emil J. Martinec, Emil J. Martinec, , , | Summary: Supergravity solutions describing supersymmetric rotating bound states of NS fivebranes, fundamental strings and momentum can sometimes have an ergoregion but no horizon. In such supersymmetric ergoregions, there is an unusual feature that there exist BPS "excitations" […]
