LM-Searcher: Cross-domain Neural Architecture Search with LLMs via Unified Numerical Encoding

Kavli Affiliate: Ke Wang | First 5 Authors: Yuxuan Hu, Yuxuan Hu, , , | Summary: Recent progress in Large Language Models (LLMs) has opened new avenues for solving complex optimization problems, including Neural Architecture Search (NAS). However, existing LLM-driven NAS approaches rely heavily on prompt engineering and domain-specific tuning, limiting their practicality and scalability […]

Interaction-driven quantum criticality in two-dimensional quadratic band crossing semimetals with time-reversal symmetry breaking

Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Yi-Kun Fang, Yi-Kun Fang, , , | Summary: We present a systematic investigation of all sixteen marginally relevant fermion-fermion interactions in two-dimensional time-reversal symmetry-breaking kagom’e semimetals hosting a quadratic band crossing point. Employing a momentum-shell renormalization group approach that treats every interaction on equal footing, we derive […]

The Light Echo of a High-Redshift Quasar mapped with Lyman-$α$ Tomography

Kavli Affiliate: Robert A. Simcoe | First 5 Authors: Anna-Christina Eilers, Anna-Christina Eilers, , , | Summary: Ultra-violet (UV) radiation from accreting black holes ionizes the intergalactic gas around early quasars, carving out highly ionized bubbles in their surroundings. Any changes in a quasar’s luminosity are therefore predicted to produce outward-propagating ionization gradients, affecting the […]

A milliarcsecond localization associates FRB 20190417A with a compact, luminous persistent radio source and an extreme magneto-ionic environment

Kavli Affiliate: Kiyoshi W. Masui | First 5 Authors: Alexandra M. Moroianu, Alexandra M. Moroianu, , , | Summary: We report the milliarcsecond localization of a high (1379 pc/cc) dispersion measure (DM) repeating fast radio burst, FRB 20190417A. Combining European VLBI Network detections of five repeat bursts, we confirm the FRB’s host to be a […]

Multi-color characterization of optically invisible FU Orionis-type outbursts: Demonstration and prospects for the WINTER survey

Kavli Affiliate: Robert A. Simcoe | First 5 Authors: Danielle Frostig, Danielle Frostig, , , | Summary: Episodic mass accretion is the dominant mechanism for mass assembly in the proto-stellar phase. Although prior optical time-domain searches have allowed detailed studies of individual outbursts, these searches remain insensitive to the earliest stages of star formation. In […]

A carbon-rich atmosphere on a windy pulsar planet

Kavli Affiliate: Roger W. Romani | First 5 Authors: Michael Zhang, Michael Zhang, , , | Summary: A handful of enigmatic Jupiter-mass objects have been discovered orbiting pulsars. One such object, PSR J2322-2650b, uniquely resembles a hot Jupiter exoplanet due to its minimum density of 1.8 g/cm^3 and its ~1900 K equilibrium temperature. We use […]
