Searching for axion dark matter gegenschein of the Vela supernova remnant with FAST

Kavli Affiliate: Kiyoshi Masui | First 5 Authors: Wenxiu Yang, Yitian Sun, Yougang Wang, Katelin Schutz, Yichao Li | Summary: Axions are one of the leading dark matter candidates. If we are embedded in a Milky Way dark matter halo comprised of axions, their stimulated decay would enable us to observe a counterimage (“axion gegenschein") […]

Directly Imaging the Cooling Flow in the Phoenix Cluster

Kavli Affiliate: Michael McDonald | First 5 Authors: Michael Reefe, Michael McDonald, Marios Chatzikos, Jerome Seebeck, Richard Mushotzky | Summary: In the centers of many galaxy clusters, the hot ($sim$10$^7$ K) intracluster medium (ICM) can become dense enough that it should cool on short timescales. However, the low measured star formation rates in massive central […]

Harmonic Loss Trains Interpretable AI Models

Kavli Affiliate: Max Tegmark | First 5 Authors: David D. Baek, Ziming Liu, Riya Tyagi, Max Tegmark, | Summary: In this paper, we introduce **harmonic loss** as an alternative to the standard cross-entropy loss for training neural networks and large language models (LLMs). Harmonic loss enables improved interpretability and faster convergence, owing to its scale […]
