TMT: Runtime Backdoor Detection for Vision-Language-Action Policies on Unseen Tasks

Zirun Zhou, Jingfeng Zhang, HaoChuan Xu +4

Backdoored vision-language-action (VLA) policies can preserve benign task performance while producing malicious actions when a trigger appears. Detecting such activation is difficu…

Evidence for the emergence of stellar magnetic fields during rapid mass transfer

Gregg A. Wade, Tomer Shenar, Pablo Marchant +6

Binary interaction fundamentally alters the evolution of massive stars, yet the physical consequences of mass transfer remain poorly constrained. Here we present high-resolution sp…

Signatures of Compact Object Mergers Inside Stars in AGN Disks

Matteo Cantiello, Alexander J. Dittmann, Saavik Ford +4

Disks of gas accreting onto supermassive black holes, powering active galactic nuclei (AGN), can capture stars from nuclear star clusters or form stars in situ via gravitational in…

SHARP -- A spectrograph proposal to fully exploit ELT capabilities and look beyond JWST

P. Saracco, P. Conconi, C. Arcidiacono +47

The Extremely Large Telescopes (ELTs), with their large apertures and cutting-edge Multi-Conjugate Adaptive Optics (MCAO) systems, promise to deliver data that is both sharper and…

A grid of fast-rotating, chemically-homogeneous, supernova and/or long-GRB progenitors

M. Renzo, O. Gottlieb, H. S. Chan +6

The understanding of the mechanism(s) by which massive stars collapse and possibly explode is rapidly maturing. Uncertainties in the structure of the stellar core at the onset of c…

Jets from Scratch: Dynamo-Generated Poloidal Magnetic Fields in 3D Collapsar Simulations

Ho-Sang Chan, Ore Gottlieb, Jonatan Jacquemin-Ide +2

The origin of the large-scale poloidal magnetic field required to power relativistic jets in collapsars remains uncertain. While such a field may be inherited during PNS collapse,…
