An agentic framework for gravitational-wave counterpart association in the multi-messenger era

An agentic framework called GW‑Eyes, powered by large language models, is introduced to autonomously associate gravitational‑wave (GW) signals with candidate electromagnetic (EM) counterparts. It integrates domain‑specific tools for tasks such as catalog management, skymap visualization, and rapid verification, while enabling natural‑language interaction to assist human experts. The framework leverages LLMs’ decision‑making and traceable reasoning to address the growing data‑analysis challenges of next‑generation GW and EM detectors.

Reconstructing Implicit Scientific Knowledge: Evaluating LLM Agents through End-to-End Reproduction of Astronomy

The paper introduces a framework for evaluating large language model agents by attempting to end‑to‑end reproduce published astronomy studies, separating execution from verification and distinguishing computational failures from methodological ambiguities. Applying this to fourteen papers—one from The Astrophysical Journal and thirteen from Nature—revealed that eleven contained ambiguities that prevented a uniquely specified reproduction path. In a controlled case study, twelve different analysis paths produced distance estimates ranging from 2.16 to 3.53 kpc, with only one matching the published value of ~2.70 kpc, demonstrating that matching outcomes does not guarantee that the agent has reconstructed the underlying reasoning. whyItMatters":"The study shows that end‑to‑end reproduction can expose gaps in implicit scientific knowledge within AI systems, highlighting the need for better integration of causal relevance in LLM agents."
