Auriga Streams II: orbital properties of tidally disrupting satellites of Milky Way-mass galaxies

Kavli Affiliate: Lina Necib | First 5 Authors: Nora Shipp, Alexander H. Riley, Christine M. Simpson, Rebekka Bieri, Lina Necib | Summary: Galaxies like the Milky Way are surrounded by complex populations of satellites at all stages of tidal disruption. In this paper, we present a dynamical study of the disrupting satellite galaxies in the […]

Galaxy populations in protoclusters at cosmic noon

Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: Moira Andrews, M. Celeste Artale, Ankit Kumar, Kyoung-Soo Lee, Tess Florek | Summary: We investigate the physical properties and redshift evolution of simulated galaxies residing in protoclusters at cosmic noon, to understand the influence of the environment on galaxy formation. This work is to build clear expectations […]

Efficient Dictionary Learning with Switch Sparse Autoencoders

Kavli Affiliate: Max Tegmark | First 5 Authors: Anish Mudide, Joshua Engels, Eric J. Michaud, Max Tegmark, Christian Schroeder de Witt | Summary: Sparse autoencoders (SAEs) are a recent technique for decomposing neural network activations into human-interpretable features. However, in order for SAEs to identify all features represented in frontier models, it will be necessary […]

The Geometry of Concepts: Sparse Autoencoder Feature Structure

Kavli Affiliate: Max Tegmark | First 5 Authors: Yuxiao Li, Eric J. Michaud, David D. Baek, Joshua Engels, Xiaoqing Sun | Summary: Sparse autoencoders have recently produced dictionaries of high-dimensional vectors corresponding to the universe of concepts represented by large language models. We find that this concept universe has interesting structure at three levels: 1) […]

JWST-TST DREAMS: Non-Uniform Dayside Emission for WASP-17b from MIRI/LRS

Kavli Affiliate: Sara Seager | First 5 Authors: Daniel Valentine, Hannah R. Wakeford, Ryan C. Challener, Natasha E. Batalha, Nikole K. Lewis | Summary: We present the first spectroscopic characterisation of the dayside atmosphere of WASP-17b in the mid-infrared using a single JWST MIRI/LRS eclipse observation. From forward-model fits to the 5-12 $mu$m emission spectrum, […]
