Weak or strong: coupling of mixed oscillation modes on the red-giant branch
Context. The high precision of recent asteroseismic observations of red-giant stars has revealed the presence of mixed dipole modes in their oscillation spectra. These modes allow for a look inside the stars. Among the parameters used to characterize mixed modes is the coupling strength q, which is sensitive to the stellar structure in the evanescent zone near the bottom of the convective envelope. Aims. The aim of this work is to probe the validity of the weak and strong coupling approximati…

hdl2v: A Code Translation Dataset for Enhanced LLM Verilog Generation
Large language models (LLMs) are playing an increasingly large role in domains such as code generation, including hardware code generation, where Verilog is the key language. However, the amount of publicly available Verilog code pales in comparison to the amount of code available for software languages like Python. In this work, we present hdl2v ("HDL-to-Verilog"), a dataset which seeks to increase the amount of available human-written Verilog data by translating or compiling three other hardw…

Galactic Science -- Rapporteur Talk of the 8th Heidelberg International Symposium on High Energy Gamma Ray Astronomy
The most recent observational and theoretical results in the rapidly expanding field of high-energy gamma-ray astrophysics were discussed at the international conference ``Gamma-2024'' that took place in Milano in September 2024. This contribution summarises the 'rapporteur talk' relative to the Galactic science given at the end of the conference.

Planets similar in size are often dissimilar in interior
Recent works have found evidence of significant intrasystem uniformity in planet properties such as radius, mass, and orbital spacing, collectively termed 'peas in a pod' trends. In particular, correlations in radius and mass have been interpreted as implying uniformity in planet bulk density and composition within a system. However, the samples used to assess trends in mass tend to be small and biased. In this paper, we re-evaluate correlations in planet properties in a large sample of systems…

Enhancing Finite State Machine Design Automation with Large Language Models and Prompt Engineering Techniques
Large Language Models (LLMs) have attracted considerable attention in recent years due to their remarkable compatibility with Hardware Description Language (HDL) design. In this paper, we examine the performance of three major LLMs, Claude 3 Opus, ChatGPT-4, and ChatGPT-4o, in designing finite state machines (FSMs). By utilizing the instructional content provided by HDLBits, we evaluate the stability, limitations, and potential approaches for improving the success rates of these models. Further…
