The THESAN-ZOOM project: Population III star formation continues until the end of reionization

Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: Oliver Zier, Rahul Kannan, Aaron Smith, Ewald Puchwein, Mark Vogelsberger | Summary: Population III (Pop III) stars are the first stars in the Universe, forming from pristine, metal-free gas and marking the end of the cosmic dark ages. Their formation rate is expected to sharply decline after […]

Metallicity Gradients in Modern Cosmological Simulations I: Tension Between Smooth Stellar Feedback Models and Observations

Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: Alex M. Garcia, Alex M. Garcia, , , | Summary: The metallicity of galaxies, and its variation with galactocentric radius, provides key insights into the formation histories of galaxies and the physical processes driving their evolution. In this work, we analyze the radial metallicity gradients of star […]

Towards Understanding Distilled Reasoning Models: A Representational Approach

Kavli Affiliate: Max Tegmark | First 5 Authors: David D. Baek, Max Tegmark, , , | Summary: In this paper, we investigate how model distillation impacts the development of reasoning features in large language models (LLMs). To explore this, we train a crosscoder on Qwen-series models and their fine-tuned variants. Our results suggest that the […]

The THESAN-ZOOM project: Long-term imprints of external reionization on galaxy evolution

Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: Oliver Zier, Oliver Zier, , , | Summary: We investigate the impact of ionizing external ultraviolet (UV) radiation on low-mass haloes ($M_h<10^10M_odot$) at high redshift using $1140M_odot$ baryonic resolution zoom-in simulations of seven regions from the THESAN-ZOOM project. We compare three simulation sets that differ in the […]
