Using the XMM-Newton small window mode to investigate systematic uncertainties in the particle background of X-ray charge-coupled device detectors

Kavli Affiliate: Eric D. Miller | First 5 Authors: Gerrit Schellenberger, Ralph Kraft, Paul Nulsen, Eric D. Miller, Marshall W. Bautz | Summary: The level and uncertainty of the particle induced background in CCD detectors plays a crucial role for future X-ray instruments, such as the Wide Field Imager (WFI) onboard Athena. To mitigate the […]

The THESAN-ZOOM project: Population III star formation continues until the end of reionization

Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: Oliver Zier, Rahul Kannan, Aaron Smith, Ewald Puchwein, Mark Vogelsberger | Summary: Population III (Pop III) stars are the first stars in the Universe, forming from pristine, metal-free gas and marking the end of the cosmic dark ages. Their formation rate is expected to sharply decline after […]

Towards Understanding Distilled Reasoning Models: A Representational Approach

Kavli Affiliate: Max Tegmark | First 5 Authors: David D. Baek, Max Tegmark, , , | Summary: In this paper, we investigate how model distillation impacts the development of reasoning features in large language models (LLMs). To explore this, we train a crosscoder on Qwen-series models and their fine-tuned variants. Our results suggest that the […]

The THESAN-ZOOM project: Long-term imprints of external reionization on galaxy evolution

Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: Oliver Zier, Oliver Zier, , , | Summary: We investigate the impact of ionizing external ultraviolet (UV) radiation on low-mass haloes ($M_h<10^10M_odot$) at high redshift using $1140M_odot$ baryonic resolution zoom-in simulations of seven regions from the THESAN-ZOOM project. We compare three simulation sets that differ in the […]

The THESAN-ZOOM project: Burst, quench, repeat — unveiling the evolution of high-redshift galaxies along the star-forming main sequence

Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: William McClymont, Sandro Tacchella, Aaron Smith, Rahul Kannan, Ewald Puchwein | Summary: Characterizing the evolution of the star-forming main sequence (SFMS) at high redshift is crucial to contextualize the observed extreme properties of galaxies in the early Universe. We present an analysis of the SFMS and its […]

Introducing the THESAN-ZOOM project: radiation-hydrodynamic simulations of high-redshift galaxies with a multi-phase interstellar medium

Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: Rahul Kannan, Ewald Puchwein, Aaron Smith, Josh Borrow, Enrico Garaldi | Summary: We introduce the THESAN-ZOOM project, a comprehensive suite of high-resolution zoom-in simulations of $14$ high-redshift ($z>3$) galaxies selected from the THESAN simulation volume. This sample encompasses a diverse range of halo masses, with $M_mathrm{halo} approx […]

Aeos: The Impact of Pop III Initial Mass Function and Star-by-Star Models in Galaxy Simulations

Kavli Affiliate: Anna Frebel | First 5 Authors: Kaley Brauer, Jennifer Mead, John H. Wise, Greg L. Bryan, Mordecai-Mark Mac Low | Summary: We explore the effect of variations in the Population III (Pop III) initial mass function (IMF) and star-by-star feedback on early galaxy formation and evolution using the Aeos simulations. We compare simulations […]
