BlackTHUNDER: evidence for three massive black holes in a z~5 galaxy

Kavli Affiliate: Debora Sijacki | First 5 Authors: Hannah Übler, Hannah Übler, , , | Summary: We present observational evidence for three massive, accreting black holes in the $z=5.0167$ galaxy J0148-4214 from JWST/NIRSpec-IFU spectroscopy. The black holes are revealed through broad H$alpha$ emission (FWHM = 430-2920 km/s) without a forbidden-line counterpart in the bright [O […]

MMR1: Enhancing Multimodal Reasoning with Variance-Aware Sampling and Open Resources

Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Sicong Leng, Sicong Leng, , , | Summary: Large multimodal reasoning models have achieved rapid progress, but their advancement is constrained by two major limitations: the absence of open, large-scale, high-quality long chain-of-thought (CoT) data, and the instability of reinforcement learning (RL) algorithms in post-training. Group Relative […]

Under the glare of a luminous quasar, the FIR continuum is still an excellent tracer of the ISM down to the central kiloparsec

Kavli Affiliate: Luis C. Ho | First 5 Authors: John D. Silverman, John D. Silverman, , , | Summary: Contamination-free assessments of the interstellar medium and star formation in quasar host galaxies, particularly based on the far-infrared, offer insights into the role of supermassive black holes in galaxy evolution. Motivated by predictions of quasar heating […]

A DECADE of dwarfs: first detection of weak lensing around spectroscopically confirmed low-mass galaxies

Kavli Affiliate: Risa H. Wechsler | First 5 Authors: Chun-Hao To, Chun-Hao To, , , | Summary: We present the first detection of weak gravitational lensing around spectroscopically confirmed dwarf galaxies, using the large overlap between DESI DR1 spectroscopic data and DECADE/DES weak lensing catalogs. A clean dwarf galaxy sample with well-defined redshift and stellar […]

BlackTHUNDER: Shedding light on a dormant and extreme little red dot at z=8.50

Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: Gareth C. Jones, Gareth C. Jones, , , | Summary: Recent photometric surveys with JWST have revealed a significant population of mysterious objects with red colours, compact morphologies, frequent signs of active galactic nucleus (AGN) activity, and negligible X-ray emission. These ‘Little Red Dots’ (LRDs) have been […]

Neural Networks as Surrogate Solvers for Time-Dependent Accretion Disk Dynamics

Kavli Affiliate: Lile Wang | First 5 Authors: Shunyuan Mao, Shunyuan Mao, , , | Summary: Accretion disks are ubiquitous in astrophysics, appearing in diverse environments from planet-forming systems to X-ray binaries and active galactic nuclei. Traditionally, modeling their dynamics requires computationally intensive (magneto)hydrodynamic simulations. Recently, Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) have emerged as a promising […]

SAGAbg III: Environmental Stellar Mass Functions, Self-Quenching, and the Stellar-to-Halo Mass Relation in the Dwarf Galaxy Regime

Kavli Affiliate: Risa H. Wechsler | First 5 Authors: Erin Kado-Fong, Erin Kado-Fong, , , | Summary: Recent efforts have extended our view of the number and properties of satellite galaxies beyond the Local Group firmly down to $rm M_starsim 10^6 M_odot$. A similarly complete view of the field dwarf population has lagged behind. Using […]
