Kavli Affiliate: Hitoshi Murayama | First 5 Authors: Dan Kondo, Dan Kondo, , , | Summary: Many models of dark matter QCD axion requires inflation at a scale $H_textinf lesssim 10^6$~GeV and hence does not allow for a detectable tensor mode fluctuation. This is because the domain wall problem forces the Peccei–Quinn symmetry to be […]
Kavli Affiliate: Daniel Holz | First 5 Authors: Amanda Farah, Amanda Farah, , , | Summary: All gravitational-wave signals are inevitably gravitationally lensed by intervening matter as they propagate through the Universe. When a gravitational-wave signal is magnified, it appears to have originated from a closer, more massive system. Thus, high-mass outliers to the gravitational-wave […]
Kavli Affiliate: Michael D. Gladders | First 5 Authors: Grace Smith, Grace Smith, , , | Summary: We present a strong lensing analysis and reconstruct the mass distribution of SPT-CL J0356-5337, a galaxy cluster at redshift z = 1.034. Our model supersedes previous models by making use of new multi-band HST data and MUSE spectroscopy. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Yi Zhou | First 5 Authors: Chengan He, Chengan He, , , | Summary: We introduce Digital Salon, a comprehensive hair authoring system that supports real-time 3D hair generation, simulation, and rendering. Unlike existing methods that focus on isolated parts of 3D hair modeling and involve a heavy computation process or network training, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Blake Sherwin | First 5 Authors: Boris Bolliet, Boris Bolliet, , , | Summary: These notes are very much work-in-progress and simply intended to showcase, in various degrees of details (and rigour), some of the cosmology calculations that class_sz can do. We describe the class_sz code in C, Python and Jax. Based on […]
Kavli Affiliate: David A. Muller | First 5 Authors: Shake Karapetyan, Shake Karapetyan, , , | Summary: To improve transistor density and electronic performance, next-generation semiconductor devices are adopting three-dimensional architectures and feature sizes down to the few-nm regime, which require atomic-scale metrology to identify and resolve performance-limiting fabrication challenges. X-ray methods deliver three-dimensional imaging […]
Kavli Affiliate: Blake Sherwin | First 5 Authors: Licong Xu, Licong Xu, , , | Summary: We present a multi-agent system for automation of scientific research tasks, cmbagent (https://github.com/CMBAgents/cmbagent). The system is formed by about 30 Large Language Model (LLM) agents and implements a Planning & Control strategy to orchestrate the agentic workflow, with no […]

Kavli Affiliate: Subo Dong | First 5 Authors: Sydney Petz, Sydney Petz, , , | Summary: We search a sample of 5,685,060 isolated sources in the All Sky Automated Survey for SuperNovae (ASAS-SN) with 14.5<g<15 mag for slowly varying sources with brightness changes larger than ~0.03 mag/year over 10 years. We find 426 slowly-varying systems. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Lihong V. Wang | First 5 Authors: Yushen Zuo, Yushen Zuo, , , | Summary: We present 4KAgent, a unified agentic super-resolution generalist system designed to universally upscale any image to 4K resolution (and even higher, if applied iteratively). Our system can transform images from extremely low resolutions with severe degradations, for example, […]
