AI Agentic Programming: A Survey of Techniques, Challenges, and Opportunities

Kavli Affiliate: Huawei Zhang | First 5 Authors: Huanting Wang, Huanting Wang, , , | Summary: AI agentic programming is an emerging paradigm in which large language models (LLMs) autonomously plan, execute, and interact with external tools like compilers, debuggers, and version control systems to iteratively perform complex software development tasks. Unlike conventional code generation […]

Developments on LLNL’s high contrast testbed and Lick/ShaneAO

Kavli Affiliate: Bruce Macintosh | First 5 Authors: Benjamin L. Gerard, Benjamin L. Gerard, , , | Summary: LLNL has recently setup a High Contrast Testbed (HCT) for AO and exoplanet imaging technology development. We present the various HCT technologies currently under development, including (1) a Wynne corrector, (2) multi-wavefront sensor (WFS) single conjugate AO […]

Three dimensional magnetic reconnection mediated with plasmoids and the resulted multi-thermal emissions in the cool atmosphere of the Sun

Kavli Affiliate: Robert Cameron | First 5 Authors: Guanchong Cheng, Guanchong Cheng, , , | Summary: Flux emergence is ubiquitous in the Sun’s lower atmosphere, where the emerging magnetic flux can reconnect with the pre-existing magnetic field. We investigate plasmoid formation and the resulting multi-thermal emissions during three-dimensional magnetic reconnection in the lower solar atmosphere. […]

Not-so-heavy metal(s): Chemical Abundances in the Ultra-faint Dwarf Galaxies Eridanus IV and Centaurus I

Kavli Affiliate: Alexander P. Ji | First 5 Authors: MairĂ©ad E Heiger, MairĂ©ad E Heiger, , , | Summary: We present detailed chemical abundances of the brightest star in each of the ultra-faint dwarf galaxies Eridanus IV and Centaurus I using high-resolution Magellan/MIKE spectroscopy. The brightest star in Centaurus I, CenI-5136, is a very metal-poor […]

The On-shell Gravity Action and Linear Dilaton Holography

Kavli Affiliate: Savdeep Sethi | First 5 Authors: Andrea Dei, Andrea Dei, , , | Summary: Computing the Euclidean spacetime action on-shell provides a useful way of both testing holographic proposals and determining the string theory sphere partition function. We consider families of three-dimensional linear dilaton spacetimes for which there are holographic proposals that share […]

Supernova Rates and Luminosity Functions from ASAS-SN II: 2014-2017 core-collapse supernovae and their subtypes

Kavli Affiliate: Subo Dong | First 5 Authors: T. Pessi, T. Pessi, , , | Summary: The volumetric rates and luminosity functions (LFs) of core-collapse supernovae (ccSN) and their subtypes are important for understanding the cosmic history of star formation and the buildup of ccSN products. To estimate these rates, we use data of nearby […]

On data-driven robust distortion risk measures for non-negative risks with partial information

Kavli Affiliate: Ran Wang | First 5 Authors: Xiangyu Han, Xiangyu Han, , , | Summary: In this paper, by proposing two new kinds of distributional uncertainty sets, we explore robustness of distortion risk measures against distributional uncertainty. To be precise, we first consider a distributional uncertainty set which is characterized solely by a ball […]
