Kavli Affiliate: Chao-Lin Kuo | First 5 Authors: Y. Wan, Y. Wan, , , | Summary: Blind discoveries of millimeter-wave (mm-wave) transient events in non-targeted surveys, as opposed to follow-up or pointed observations, have only become possible in the past decade using cosmic microwave background surveys. Here we present the first results from the SPT-3G […]
Kavli Affiliate: Sven Herrmann | Summary:Optically trapped Silica nanoparticles are a promising tool for precise sensing of gravitational or inertial forces and fundamental physics, including tests of quantum mechanics at ‘large’ mass scales. This field, called levitated optomechanics can greatly benefit from an application in weightlessness. In this paper we demonstrate the feasibility of such […]
Kavli Affiliate: Hsiao-Mei (Sherry) Cho| First 5 Authors: [#item_custom_name[1, [#item_custom_name[2, [#item_custom_name[3, [#item_custom_name[4, [#item_custom_name[5| Summary:Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated significant potential in medicine, with many studies adapting them through continued pre-training or fine-tuning on medical data to enhance domain-specific accuracy and safety. However, a key open question remains: to what extent do LLMs memorize medical […]
Kavli Affiliate: Bruce Macintosh | Summary:Mid-IR wavelengths are of particular interest to exoplanet science due to the fact they can extend the searchable parameter space to planets that are older and/or colder. However, a significant source of uncertainty at mid-IR wavelengths on ground-based telescopes is the thermal background. This background comes from blackbody radiation in […]
Kavli Affiliate: Roger W. Romani | First 5 Authors: Jack T. Dinsmore, Jack T. Dinsmore, , , | Summary: As the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) measures increasingly faint sources, the need for precise polarimetry extraction becomes paramount. In addition to previously described neural-net (NN) weights, we introduce here point-spread function weights and particle background […]

Kavli Affiliate: D. B. Macfarlane| First 5 Authors: D. A. H. Buckley, D. A. H. Buckley, , , | Summary:The Vera C. Rubin Observatory’s Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) will provide a windfall of new transients and variable sources. Here we have performed mock observation simulations to understand LSST’s expected detection rates for […]
Kavli Affiliate: Bruce A. Macintosh | First 5 Authors: Nathalie K. Jones, Nathalie K. Jones, , , | Summary: We present confirmation of HD 143811 AB b, a substellar companion to spectroscopic binary HD 143811 AB through direct imaging with the Gemini Planet Imager (GPI) and Keck NIRC2. HD 143811 AB was observed as a […]
