Correct Criterion of Crustal Failure Driven by Intense Magnetic Stress in Neutron Stars

Magnetar outbursts are powered by an intense magnetic field. The phenomenon has recently drawn significant attention because of a connection to some fast radio bursts that has been reported. Understanding magnetar outbursts may provide the ...

Investigating the Impact of Supernova Feedback on Satellites in Elliptical Galaxies

We investigate the influence of supernova (SN) feedback on the satellites of elliptical host galaxies using hydrodynamic simulations. Utilizing a modified version of the GADGET-3 code, we perform cosmological zoom-in simulations of 11 ellip...

A tetraquark 81-plet with $$J^{PC}=1^{-+}$$ J PC = 1 - + or a hybrid nonet

Abstract Confirming the existence of hybrid states remains challenging due to their experimental indistinguishability from tightly bound tetraquarks and loosely bound molecules. To address this issue, we employ QCD sum rules to systematical...

A Gaussian Process Framework for Testing General Relativity with Gravitational Waves

Gravitational-wave astronomy provides a promising avenue for the discovery of new physics beyond general relativity as it probes extreme curvature and ultrarelativistic dynamics. However, in the absence of a compelling alternative to genera...

Radio Continuum and Water Maser Observations of the High-mass Protostar IRAS 19035+0641 A

We present Very Large Array 1.3 cm continuum and 22.2 GHz H _2 O maser observations of the high-mass protostellar object IRAS 19035+0641 A. Our observations unveil an elongated bipolar 1.3 cm continuum structure at scales ≲500 au, which, to...

Cross-correlation transmission spectroscopy of ultra-hot Jupiters WASP-189b, HAT-P-57b, KELT-17b, and KELT-21b with GIANO-B

Since the discovery of the first exoplanet, significant efforts have been made to characterise their atmospheres. Ultra-hot Jupiters (UHJs) are of particular interest due to their extended and hot atmospheres. Although previous studies have...

Investigating the timelike Compton scattering in photon–proton interactions at the EIC

Abstract Information about the three-dimensional description of the quark and gluon content of hadrons, described by the generalized parton distributions (GPDs), can be probed by exclusive processes in electron–proton (ep) collisions. In th...

27 yr of Spaceborne IR Astronomy: An ISO, Spitzer, WISE, and NEOWISE Survey for Large-amplitude Variability in Young Stellar Objects

Infrared observations can probe photometric variability across the full evolutionary range of young stellar objects (YSOs), from deeply embedded protostars to pre-main-sequence stars with dusty disks. We present 3–8 μ m light curves extendi...

Constraining young massive cluster properties with radio-continuum observations: The Arches cluster

Context. The Arches cluster, located in the Galactic Centre (GC) is one of the best astrophysical laboratories to study the properties of massive stars and young massive clusters (YMCs). However, despite having been observed for decades at ...

Integrability from point symmetries in a family of cosmological Horndeski Lagrangians

Abstract For a family of Horndeski theories, formulated in terms of a generalized Galileon model, we study the integrability of the field equations in a Friedmann–Lemaître–Robertson–Walker space-time. We are interested in point transformati...

Effects of Background Solar Wind and Drag Force on the Propagation of Coronal-mass-ejection-driven Shocks

The propagation of interplanetary shocks, particularly those driven by coronal mass ejections (CMEs), is still an outstanding question in heliophysics and space weather forecasting. Here, we address the effects of the ambient solar wind on ...

Cusp of Non-Gaussian Density of Particles for a Diffusing Diffusivity Model

We study a two state “jumping diffusivity” model for a Brownian process alternating between two different diffusion constants, D+>D−, with random waiting times in both states whose distribution is rather general. In the limit of long measur...

Optimization of MIMO Systems Capacity Using Large Random Matrix Methods

This paper provides a comprehensive introduction of large random matrix methods for input covariance matrix optimization of mutual information of MIMO systems. It is first recalled informally how large system approximations of mutual inform...

DPS mechanism for associated $$c\bar{c} b\bar{b}$$ cc¯bb¯ production in AA UPCs

Abstract We discuss the associated $$c\bar{c}$$ cc¯ and $$b\bar{b}$$ bb¯ quark pairs production in the double-parton scattering (DPS) process in ultraperipheral (UPCs) AA collisions. We derive an analogue of the inclusive DPS pocket formula...

Yang–Mills black holes in quasitopological gravity

Abstract In this paper, we formulate two new classes of black hole solutions in higher curvature quartic quasitopological gravity with nonabelian Yang–Mills theory. At first step, we consider the SO(n) and $$SO(n-1,1)$$ S O ( n - 1 , 1 ) se...

The magnetic fields in Be stars are stronger than previously suggested

Context. Recent observational studies suggest that Be stars most likely are formed through the process of mass transfer in binary systems. In view of the wide consensus that the origin of the magnetic field in stars with radiative envelopes...

FEAST: JWST Uncovers the Emerging Timescales of Young Star Clusters in M83

We present JWST NIRCam observations of the emerging young star clusters (eYSCs) detected in the nearby spiral galaxy M83. The NIRcam mosaic encompasses the nuclear starburst, the bar, and the inner spiral arms. The eYSCs, detected in Pa α a...

Particle astrophysics with high energy neutrinos

High-Energy Neutrino Astrophysics

▪ Abstract High-energy (>100 MeV) neutrino astrophysics enters an era of opportunity and discovery as the sensitivity of detectors approaches astrophysically relevant flux levels. We review the major challenges for this emerging field, amon...

Astrophysics of Dust

Abstract. Currently ∼36 different absorption bands have been detected in the infrared spectra of cold, dense interstellar and circumstellar environments. These are attributed to the vibrational transitions of ∼17 different molecules frozen ...
