The Atacama Cosmology Telescope: DR6 Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Selected Galaxy Clusters Catalog
HSC Collaboration, M. Aguena, S. Aiola +98
We present the results of a search for galaxy clusters in the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) Data Release 6 (DR6) microwave sky maps covering 16293 square degrees in three frequ…
The Simons Observatory: forecasted constraints on primordial gravitational waves with the expanded array of Small Aperture Telescopes
The Simons Observatory Collaboration, I. Abril-Cabezas, S. Adachi +479
We present updated forecasts for the scientific performance of the degree-scale (0.5 deg FWHM at 93 GHz), deep-field survey to be conducted by the Simons Observatory (SO). By 2027,…
Enhancing Agentic Autonomous Scientific Discovery with Vision-Language Model Capabilities
Kahaan Gandhi, Boris Bolliet, Inigo Zubeldia
We show that multi-agent systems guided by vision-language models (VLMs) improve end-to-end autonomous scientific discovery. By treating plots as verifiable checkpoints, a VLM-as-a…
The Simons Observatory: Science Goals and Forecasts for the Enhanced Large Aperture Telescope
The Simons Observatory Collaboration, M. Abitbol, I. Abril-Cabezas +419
We describe updated scientific goals for the wide-field, millimeter-wave survey that will be produced by the Simons Observatory (SO). Significant upgrades to the 6-meter SO Large A…
Open Source Planning & Control System with Language Agents for Autonomous Scientific Discovery
Licong Xu, Milind Sarkar, Anto I. Lonappan +23
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…
Evaluating Retrieval-Augmented Generation Agents for Autonomous Scientific Discovery in Astrophysics
Xueqing Xu, Boris Bolliet, Adrian Dimitrov +4
We evaluate 9 Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) agent configurations on 105 Cosmology Question-Answer (QA) pairs that we built specifically for this purpose.The RAG configuratio…
