Asteroseismology of 35 Kepler and TESS $δ$ Scuti stars near the red edge of the instability strip. The limitations of $δ$ Scuti stars for dating open clusters
Aims. The aim of this work is to determine the maximum ages that can be unambiguously established for $δ$ Sct stars using seismic observables, and, by extension, the oldest open clusters that can be dated using this type of star. Methods. I estimate the large frequency separation using various techniques applied to two samples of $δ$ Sct located near the red edge of the instability strip. One sample consists of 18 targets observed by the Kepler mission, and the other comprises 17 targets obse…

The Method of Infinite Descent
Training - the optimisation of complex models - is traditionally performed through small, local, iterative updates [D. E. Rumelhart, G. E. Hinton, R. J. Williams, Nature 323, 533-536 (1986)]. Approximating solutions through truncated gradients is a paradigm dating back to Cauchy [A.-L. Cauchy, Comptes Rendus Mathématique 25, 536-538 (1847)] and Newton [I. Newton, The Method of Fluxions and Infinite Series (Henry Woodfall, London, 1736)]. This work introduces the Method of Infinite Descent, a s…

"Sometimes You Need Facts, and Sometimes a Hug": Understanding Older Adults' Preferences for Explanations in LLM-Based Conversational AI Systems
Designing Conversational AI systems to support older adults requires these systems to explain their behavior in ways that align with older adults' preferences and context. While prior work has emphasized the importance of AI explainability in building user trust, relatively little is known about older adults' requirements and perceptions of AI-generated explanations. To address this gap, we conducted an exploratory Speed Dating study with 23 older adults to understand their responses to context…

Tradeoffs on the volume of fault-tolerant circuits
Dating back to the seminal work of von Neumann [von Neumann, Automata Studies, 1956], it is known that error correcting codes can overcome faulty circuit components to enable robust computation. Choosing an appropriate code is non-trivial as it must balance several requirements. Increasing the rate of the code reduces the relative number of redundant bits used in the fault-tolerant circuit, while increasing the distance of the code ensures robustness against faults. If the rate and distance wer…

Learning about this flute was what put me on the path of considering how closely intertwined the creation of art is with our very humanity (and our closest evolutionary relatives like Neandertals). I have come to the conclusion that that the drive to create art is one of the defining characteristics of being human, and the drive to create also drives our technological advances.

Cosmography via stellar archaeology of low-redshift early-type galaxies from SDSS
Cosmic chronometers offer a model-independent way to trace the expansion history of the Universe via the dating of passively evolving objects. This enables testing the validity of cosmological models without concrete assumptions of their energy content. The main goal of this work is to derive model-independent constraints on the Hubble parameter up to $z \sim 0.4$ using stellar ages from the fitting of Lick index absorption lines in passively evolving galaxies. Contrary to recent related works …

Day 4: Adiba Jaigirdar
Thought I'd mix things up a bit in terms of intensity & genre. Jaigirdar has written several lovely sapphic teen romances that grapple with parental acceptance in Muslim Bengali immigrant culture, along with racism and other aspects of second generation immigrant life in Dublin.
I've discovered a few other Southeast Asian authors at my local library who will appear on this list, but I'm putting Jaigirdar first because of just how enjoyable her books are, and because I generally find queer romance to be more engaging than non-queer romance. Jaigirdar's characters are sympathetic and convincing, and their problems are both dramatic and a little funny. "Hani & Ishu's Guide to Fake Dating" is probably my favorite by Jaigirdar, but I also enjoyed "The Henna Wars" and "Rani Choudhury Must Die." "A Million to One" is a bit of a departure from her other books, as historical fiction with a heist plot, but it still engages with Irish culture, immigrants, and queer romance.

Death by Impact: Evidence for Merger-Driven Quenching in a Collisional Ring Galaxy at Cosmic Noon
The role of interactions and mergers in the rapid quenching of massive galaxies in the early Universe remains uncertain, largely due to the difficulty of directly linking mergers to quenching. Collisional ring galaxies provide a unique opportunity, as their morphology allows precise dating of the interaction, which can then be compared to quenching timescales inferred from star formation histories. We study a gravitationally bound system at $z=1.61$ in the UDS field, composed of a Host galaxy (…

But both domestic genocides and purges as well as political violence targeted at individual prominent figures has been a *constant* throughout American history, from gun duels fought between political rivals to massacres of Native Americans in order to steal their land, to pogroms against Catholics, to literal wars on local Black success and political participation, all dating back before the American Revolution to the beginning of colonization.

Delayed phase mixing in the self-gravitating Galactic disc

Delayed phase mixing in the self-gravitating Galactic disc
The Gaia phase spiral is considered to work as a dynamical clock for dating past perturbations, but most of the previous studies neglected the disc's self-gravity, potentially biasing estimates of the phase spiral's excitation time. We aim to evaluate the impact of self-gravitating effects on the evolution of vertical phase spirals and to quantify the bias introduced in estimating their excitation time when such effects are ignored. We analysed a high-resolution, self-consistent $N$-body simula…

Digital Low-Level RF system for the Linac Electronics Modernization Plan at LCLS
The LCLS began operations in 2009, utilizing SLAC's normal-conducting (NC) LINAC, which features control equipment dating back to the 1960s and 1980s. The Linac Electronics Modernization Plan (LEMP) aims to replace the legacy control equipment with a system based on the open-source Marble carrier board and Zest+ digitizer board, both of which are used in the LCLS-II HE LLRF system. Adaptation of the LLRF system developed for the continuous-wave (CW) superconducting RF (SRF) LCLS-II to the short…
