Kavli Affiliate: Max Tegmark | First 5 Authors: Joshua Engels, Eric J. Michaud, Isaac Liao, Wes Gurnee, Max Tegmark | Summary: Recent work has proposed 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 inherently multi-dimensional. We begin […]
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 […]
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 […]

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 […]

Kavli Affiliate: Erin Kara | First 5 Authors: Yuhan Yao, Muryel Guolo, Francesco Tombesi, Ruancun Li, Suvi Gezari | Summary: We present the tidal disruption event (TDE) AT2022lri, hosted in a nearby ($approx!144$ Mpc) quiescent galaxy with a low-mass massive black hole ($10^4,M_odot < M_{rm BH} < 10^6,M_odot$). AT2022lri belongs to the TDE-H+He subtype. More […]
Kavli Affiliate: David A. Principe | First 5 Authors: William Grimble, Joel Kastner, Christophe Pinte, Beth Sargent, David A. Principe | Summary: Our understanding of how exoplanets form and evolve relies on analyses of both the mineralogy of protoplanetary disks and their detailed structures; however, these key complementary aspects of disks are usually studied separately. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Andrew Vanderburg | First 5 Authors: Sam Christian, Andrew Vanderburg, Juliette Becker, Adam L. Kraus, Logan Pearce | Summary: Studying the relative orientations of the orbits of exoplanets and wide-orbiting binary companions (semimajor axis greater than 100 AU) can shed light on how planets form and evolve in binary systems. Previous observations by […]
Kavli Affiliate: Andrew Vanderburg | First 5 Authors: Mary Anne Limbach, Johanna M. Vos, Andrew Vanderburg, Fei Dai, | Summary: We conduct a comprehensive search for transiting exomoons and exosatellites within 44 archival Spitzer light curves of 32 substellar worlds with estimated masses ranging between 3-30M$_{rm Jup}$. This sample’s median host mass is 16M$_{rm Jup}$, […]
