Constraining the gravitational-wave emission of core-collapse supernovae with ground-based detectors

Using cross-correlation data from Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo during their third observing run, this study establishes a $95\%credibilityupperlimitof credibility upper limit of 0.01~M_\odot c^2$ on the gravitational-wave energy emitted by core-collapse supernovae, representing a two-order-of-magnitude improvement over previous constraints and suggesting that third-generation detectors will likely detect individual supernova events before the gravitational-wave background.

Novel very-high-frequency quasi-periodic oscillations of compact, non-singular objects

This paper proposes that compact, non-singular horizonless objects characterized by a regulator length scale LGML \gtrsim GM support stable inner orbits that generate observable very-high-frequency quasi-periodic oscillations (VHFQPOs) ranging from 1 kHz to 25 kHz, suggesting that the absence of such signals in X-ray binaries would confirm the existence of an event horizon around the central object.

Certified Uncertainty for Surrogate Models of Neutron Star Equations of State via Mondrian Conformal Prediction

This paper introduces a multitask surrogate model for neutron star equations of state that achieves near-perfect physical validity classification and high-precision regression of key stellar properties while providing distribution-free, certified uncertainty estimates through the novel application of Mondrian conformal prediction.

Mathematical Anatomy of Neutrino Decoherence in Red Turbulence: A Fractional Calculus Approach

This paper establishes an exact non-Markovian framework for neutrino decoherence in red turbulent matter using Nakajima--Zwanzig projection and fractional calculus, deriving an analytical solution in terms of Mittag-Leffler functions that links flavor evolution to anomalous diffusion while addressing ultraviolet singularities via Hadamard finite parts.

SN 2024abvb: A Type Icn Supernova in the Outskirts of its Host Galaxy

This paper presents multiband observations and hybrid modeling of SN 2024abvb, identifying it as a luminous Type Icn supernova with a low ejecta mass resulting from significant progenitor mass stripping, as evidenced by its early C II emission lines and lack of hydrogen or helium features.

The SRG/eROSITA All-Sky Survey. Detection of shock-heated gas beyond the halo boundary into the accretion region

Using SRG/eROSITA data from 680 galaxy clusters, this study detects shock-heated gas extending to 4.5 Mpc, identifies the virial radius as the transition point where cosmic filaments connect to clusters, and finds that observed gas distribution at large radii is more efficient than predicted by IllustrisTNG simulations.

X-ray Transmission Through Photoionized Gas with Moderate Thomson Optical Depth

This paper presents a comprehensive model for X-ray transmission through photoionized gas with moderate Thomson optical depth, deriving analytical criteria to distinguish between neutral, transparent, and complex absorption regimes across a wide range of column densities and metallicities, with specific applications to supernova-circumstellar medium interactions.

Prospective constraints on dark energy from nanohertz individual gravitational wave sources

This study demonstrates that next-generation pulsar timing arrays, by detecting individual nanohertz gravitational waves from supermassive binary black holes and potentially identifying their electromagnetic counterparts, could constrain the dark energy equation-of-state parameter ww with a precision of Δw0.023\Delta w \sim 0.023--$0.162$ depending on source hardening timescales and the fraction of detectable counterparts.

A Method for Testing Diffusive Shock Acceleration and Diffusion Propagation of 1-100 TeV Cosmic Electron with Multi-wavelength Observation of Geminga Halo and Pulsar Wind Nebula

This paper develops a method to test diffusive shock acceleration and diffusion propagation theories using multi-wavelength observations of the Geminga pulsar wind nebula and halo, finding current data consistent with the models but limited by wide energy bins, while anticipating that future high-precision observations will enable rigorous validation of the energy-dependent diffusion coefficient up to sub-PeV energies.

Shadows and Polarization Images of a Four-dimensional Gauss-Bonnet Black Hole Irradiated by a Thick Accretion Disk

This study utilizes general relativistic ray-tracing to demonstrate that intensity and polarization images of thick accretion disks around four-dimensional Gauss-Bonnet black holes are significantly influenced by the Gauss-Bonnet coupling parameter and disk inclination, offering distinct observational signatures that can probe the intrinsic spacetime structure and near-horizon accretion dynamics.
