Faraday tomography with CHIME: the `tadpole’ feature G137+7

Kavli Affiliate: Kiyoshi W. Masui | First 5 Authors: Nasser Mohammed, Anna Ordog, Rebecca A. Booth, Andrea Bracco, Jo-Anne C. Brown | Summary: A direct consequence of Faraday rotation is that the polarized radio sky does not resemble the total intensity sky at long wavelengths. We analyze G137+7, which is undetectable in total intensity but […]

The Supersonic Project: Early Star Formation with the Streaming Velocity

Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: William Lake, Claire E. Williams, Smadar Naoz, Federico Marinacci, Blakesley Burkhart | Summary: At high redshifts ($zgtrsim12$), the relative velocity between baryons and dark matter (the so-called streaming velocity) significantly affects star formation in low-mass objects. Streaming substantially reduces the abundance of low-mass gas objects while simultaneously […]

Not All Language Model Features Are Linear

Kavli Affiliate: Max Tegmark | First 5 Authors: Joshua Engels, Isaac Liao, Eric J. Michaud, Wes Gurnee, Max Tegmark | Summary: Recent work has proposed the linear representation hypothesis: that language models perform computation by manipulating one-dimensional representations of concepts ("features") in activation space. In contrast, we explore whether some language model representations may be […]

WTP19aalnxx: Discovery of a bright mid-infrared transient in the emerging class of low luminosity supernovae revealed by delayed circumstellar interaction

Kavli Affiliate: Robert Simcoe | First 5 Authors: Charlotte Myers, Kishalay De, Lin Yan, Jacob E. Jencson, Nicholas Earley | Summary: While core-collapse supernovae (SNe) often show early and consistent signs of circumstellar (CSM) interaction, some exhibit delayed signatures due to interaction with distant material around the progenitor star. Here we present the discovery in […]

Sensitivity and control of a 6-axis fused-silica seismometer

Kavli Affiliate: Richard Mittleman | First 5 Authors: Jiri Smetana, Amit Singh Ubhi, Emilia Chick, Leonid Prokhorov, John Bryant | Summary: We present a pair of seismometers capable of measurement in all six axes of rigid motion. The vacuum-compatible devices implement compact interferometric displacement sensors to surpass the sensitivity of typical electrical readout schemes. Together […]

Gliese 12 b, A Temperate Earth-sized Planet at 12 Parsecs Discovered with TESS and CHEOPS

Kavli Affiliate: Andrew Vanderburg | First 5 Authors: Shishir Dholakia, Larissa Palethorpe, Alexander Venner, Annelies Mortier, Thomas G. Wilson | Summary: We report on the discovery of Gliese 12 b, the nearest transiting temperate, Earth-sized planet found to date. Gliese 12 is a bright ($V=12.6$ mag, $K=7.8$ mag) metal-poor M4V star only $12.162pm0.005$ pc away […]
