Kavli Affiliate: Avi Shporer | First 5 Authors: Molly Nies, Ismael Mireles, François Bouchy, Diana Dragomir, Belinda A. Nicholson | Summary: We report the discovery and validation of HD 21520 b, a transiting planet found with TESS and orbiting a bright G dwarf (V=9.2, $T_{eff} = 5871 pm 62$ K, $R_{star} = 1.04pm 0.02, R_{odot}$). […]
Kavli Affiliate: Nicola Omodei | First 5 Authors: Sofia V. Forsblom, Sergey S. Tsygankov, Juri Poutanen, Victor Doroshenko, Alexander A. Mushtukov | Summary: Recent observations of X-ray pulsars (XRPs) performed by the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) have made it possible to investigate the intricate details of these objects in a new way, thanks to […]
Kavli Affiliate: Li Xin Li | First 5 Authors: Zhen Cao, F. Aharonian, Q. An, Axikegu, Y. X. Bai | Summary: In this work we try to search for signals generated by ultra-heavy dark matter at the Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO) data. We look for possible gamma-ray by dark matter annihilation or […]
Kavli Affiliate: Zhuo Li | First 5 Authors: Zhen Cao, F. Aharonian, Q. An, Axikegu, Y. X. Bai | Summary: In this work we try to search for signals generated by ultra-heavy dark matter at the Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO) data. We look for possible gamma-ray by dark matter annihilation or decay […]
Kavli Affiliate: Claudio Ricci | First 5 Authors: Robert Wheatley, Catherine J. Grier, Patrick B. Hall, W. N. Brandt, Jonah Lotz | Summary: We present the results of an investigation of a highly variable CIV broad absorption-line feature in the quasar SBS 1408+544 (z=2.337) that shows a significant shift in velocity over time. This source […]
Kavli Affiliate: Gordan Z. Krnjaic | First 5 Authors: Christopher J. Shallue, Julian B. Muñoz, Gordan Z. Krnjaic, , | Summary: We study the cosmological impact of warm, dark-sector relic particles produced as Hawking radiation in a primordial-black-hole-dominated universe before big bang nucleosynthesis. If those dark-sector particles are stable, they would survive to the present […]
Kavli Affiliate: Max Tegmark | First 5 Authors: Chloe Loughridge, Qinyi Sun, Seth Ahrenbach, Federico Cassano, Chuyue Sun | Summary: We introduce DafnyBench, the largest benchmark of its kind for training and evaluating machine learning systems for formal software verification. We test the ability of LLMs such as GPT-4 and Claude 3 to auto-generate enough […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jia Liu | First 5 Authors: Wei Ding, Fanhong Li, Ziteng Ji, Zhengrong Xue, Jia Liu | Summary: We propose AToM-Bot, a novel task generation and execution framework for proactive robot-human interaction, which leverages the human mental and physical state inference capabilities of the Vision Language Model (VLM) prompted by the Affective Theory […]
Kavli Affiliate: Luis C. Ho | First 5 Authors: Minjin Kim, Suyeon Son, Luis C. Ho, , | Summary: We investigate the optical variability of low-redshift ($0.15< zleq0.4$) active galactic nuclei using the multi-epoch data from the Zwicky Transient Facility. We find that a damped random walk model well describes the ensemble structure function in […]
Kavli Affiliate: Claudio Ricci | First 5 Authors: Boy Lankhaar, Susanne Aalto, Clare Wethers, Javier Moldon, Rob Beswick | Summary: High resolution (0."037-0."13 [10-35 pc]) e-MERLIN ($lambda6-18$ cm) and (0."024 [6.5 pc]) ALMA ($lambda 1.1$ mm) observations have been used to image OH (hydroxyl) and H$_2$CO (formaldehyde) megamaser emission, and HCN 3->2 emission towards the […]
