VESTA: Visual Exploration with Statistical Tool Agents
William Rudman, Abhishek Divekar, Kanishk Jain +6
Fitting quantitative models to data is a central step in scientific workflows, yet it remains one of the least automated. Recent agent-based systems leverage language and vision-la…
Computational advances and challenges in simulations of turbulence and star formation
Christoph Federrath, Stella Offner
We review recent advances in the numerical modeling of turbulent flows and star formation. An overview of the most widely used simulation codes and their core capabilities is provi…
The Future of Artificial Intelligence and the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (AI+MPS)
Andrew Ferguson, Marisa LaFleur, Lars Ruthotto +97
This community paper developed out of the NSF Workshop on the Future of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Mathematical and Physics Sciences (MPS), which was held in March 2025 w…
Investigating the Gamma-Ray Emission from Explosive Dispersal Outflows with Fermi-LAT
Paarmita Pandey, Stephen C. Lenker, Laura A. Lopez +6
We present the first systematic study of explosive dispersal outflows (EDOs) as potential sources of high-energy emission in the Milky Way. EDOs are energetic outflows produced dur…
Assessing Zeeman Measurements of Magnetic Fields in Synthetic HI Observations
Duo Xu, Peter Martin, Stella Offner +3
Zeeman observations provide the only direct probe of line-of-sight (LOS) magnetic fields in the interstellar medium. To evaluate their accuracy and limitations, we generate synthet…
A multiscale evolutionary study of molecular gas in STARFORGE. I. Synthetic observations of SEDIGISM-like molecular clouds
K. R. Neralwar, D. Colombo, S. Offner +6
Molecular clouds are active sites of star formation in galaxies, and their formation and evolution are largely affected by stellar feedback. This includes outflows and winds from n…
