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:Despite impressive capabilities, LLMs’ successes often rely on pattern-matching behaviors, yet these are also linked to OOD generalization failures in compositional tasks. However, behavioral studies commonly employ task setups that allow multiple generalization sources (e.g., algebraic invariances, structural repetition), obscuring a precise […]

Kavli Affiliate: Robert Cameron | Summary:Stellar activity is fundamental to stellar evolution and the formation and habitability of exoplanets. The interaction between convective motions and rotation in cool stars results in a dynamo process that drives magnetic surface activity. In single stars, activity increases with rotation rate until it saturates for stars with rotation periods […]

Kavli Affiliate: Roger Romani | Summary:Solid state phonon detectors used in the search for dark matter and coherent neutrino nucleus interactions (CE$ν$NS) require excellent energy resolution (eV-scale or below) and low backgrounds. An unknown source of phonon bursts, the low energy excess (LEE), dominates other above-threshold backgrounds and generates excess shot noise from sub-threshold bursts. […]

Kavli Affiliate: Roger W. Romani | First 5 Authors: Ioannis Liodakis, Haocheng Zhang, Stella Boula, Riccardo Middei, Jorge Otero-Santos | Summary: The origin of the high-energy emission in astrophysical jets from black holes is a highly debated issue. This is particularly true for jets from supermassive black holes that are among the most powerful particle […]

Kavli Affiliate: Tom Abel| First 5 Authors: David Abel, David Abel, , , | Summary:Agents are minimally entities that are influenced by their past observations and act to influence future observations. This latter capacity is captured by empowerment, which has served as a vital framing concept across artificial intelligence and cognitive science. This former capacity, […]

Kavli Affiliate: Risa Wechsler | Summary:The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope is poised to revolutionize our scientific understanding of exoplanets, dark matter, dark energy, and general astrophysics, including through an innovative community approach to defining and executing sky surveys. The Roman Observations Time Allocation Committee (ROTAC) was convened to recommend time allocations for the three […]

Kavli Affiliate: Paul Brink| First 5 Authors: Shu Xinwen, Shu Xinwen, , , | Summary:We present the discovery of a peculiar X-ray transient, EP241021a, by the Einstein Probe (EP) mission, and the results from multiwavelength follow-up observations. The transient was first detected with the Wide-field X-ray Telescope as an intense flare lasting for ~100 s, […]

Kavli Affiliate: Tom Abel | Summary:Context: Satellite galaxies experience multiple physical processes when interacting with their host halos, often leading to the quenching of star formation. In the Local Group (LG), satellite quenching has been shown to be highly efficient, affecting nearly all satellites except the most massive ones. While recent surveys are studying Milky […]

Kavli Affiliate: Tom Abel | First 5 Authors: Minyong Jung, Ji-hoon Kim, Thinh H. Nguyen, Ramon Rodriguez-Cardoso, Santi Roca-Fàbrega | Summary: We investigate how differences in the stellar feedback produce disks with different morphologies in Milky Way-like progenitors over 1 $leq z leq 5$, using eight state-of-the-art cosmological hydrodynamics simulation codes in the textit{AGORA} project.
