Eridanus III and DELVE 1: Carbon-rich Primordial Star Clusters or the Smallest Dwarf Galaxies?

Kavli Affiliate: Alexander P. Ji | First 5 Authors: Joshua D. Simon, Ting S. Li, Alexander P. Ji, Andrew B. Pace, Terese T. Hansen | Summary: We present spectroscopy of the ultra-faint Milky Way satellites Eridanus III (Eri III) and DELVE 1. We identify eight member stars in each satellite and place non-constraining upper limits […]

Investigating Representation Universality: Case Study on Genealogical Representations

Kavli Affiliate: Max Tegmark | Summary:Motivated by interpretability and reliability, we investigate whether large language models (LLMs) deploy universal geometric structures to encode discrete, graph-structured knowledge. To this end, we present two complementary experimental evidence that might support universality of graph representations. First, on an in-context genealogy Q&A task, we train a cone probe to […]

Investigating the sightline of a highly scattered FRB through a filamentary structure in the local Universe

Kavli Affiliate: Kiyoshi W. Masui | First 5 Authors: Kaitlyn Shin, Calvin Leung, Sunil Simha, Bridget C. Andersen, Emmanuel Fonseca | Summary: Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are unique probes of extragalactic ionized baryonic structure as each signal, through its burst properties, holds information about the ionized matter it encounters along its sightline. FRB 20200723B is […]
