Forecasting Catastrophe: Constraints on the Fomalhaut Main Belt Planetesimal Population from Observed Collisional Remnants

By analyzing the two recent catastrophic collision events in the Fomalhaut system, this study employs a statistical model to constrain the main belt's total mass to 200–360 Earth masses and predicts a high rate of future collisions, indicating that continued monitoring is essential for understanding the system's planetesimal population.

Study of the cosmological tensions and DESI-DR2 in the framework of the Little Rip model

This paper investigates the Little Rip dark energy model as a potential solution to the H0H_0 and S8S_8 cosmological tensions using recent observational data, including DESI-DR2, and finds that while the model reduces the Hubble tension to below $3\sigmawithearlyuniversedata,BayesianevidenceindicatesitonlyprovidesastatisticallyimprovedfitforCMBdatacomparedtothestandard with early-universe data, Bayesian evidence indicates it only provides a statistically improved fit for CMB data compared to the standard \Lambda$CDM model.

An Attempt to Search for Unintended Electromagnetic Radiation from Starlink Satellites with the 21 Centimeter Array: Methodology and RFI Characterization

This paper presents a methodology for searching for unintended electromagnetic radiation from Starlink satellites using the 21 Centimeter Array, which, despite limited sensitivity preventing the detection of Starlink emissions, successfully validated its transit prediction framework by identifying ORBCOMM signals and attributed observed broadband bursts to local power line arcing rather than satellite interference.

Gravitational waves from warm inflation in the weak dissipative regime

This paper extends previous research on gravitational waves from a unified warm inflation and dark sector model to the weak dissipation regime, demonstrating through continuous Bogoliubov coefficient calculations that this scenario significantly enhances the prospects for detection by future gravitational-wave observatories compared to the strong dissipation regime.

WD 1054-226 revisited: a stable transiting debris system

This paper confirms the six-year persistence of highly coherent 25.01-hour and 23.1-minute periodic signals in the white dwarf WD 1054-226, revealing a stable, optically thick, edge-on debris ring that serves as a key laboratory for studying remnant planetary systems.

Dust distribution in circumstellar disks harboring multi-planet systems. II. Super-thermal mass planets

This study uses hydrodynamical simulations and synthetic ALMA imaging to demonstrate that multiple super-thermal mass planets create complex, non-superimposable dust structures and eccentric orbits that obscure gaps and suppress grain growth, thereby complicating the interpretation of disk substructures and the inference of planetary properties.

Post-perihelion Coma Composition of the Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS from Optical Spectroscopy

This paper presents multi-epoch optical spectroscopy of the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS from late 2025 to early 2026, revealing post-perihelion compositional shifts—including enhanced metal and CO production and a gradual volatile decline—that suggest the activation of subsurface material, seasonal heterogeneity, and potential metal carbonyl chemistry.

BlackGEM observations of compact pulsating stars: Mode identification for the DOV PG 1159--035 using multi-colour photometr

This study demonstrates the feasibility of using BlackGEM's ground-based multi-colour photometry to identify pulsation modes in the hot pre-white dwarf PG 1159-035 through amplitude-ratio analysis, paving the way for large-scale asteroseismic characterization of faint compact pulsating stars.

Here Be SDRAGNs - Spiral Galaxies Hosting Large Double Radio Sources

This paper presents a refined sample of 15 new high-probability Spiral Double Radio Active Galactic Nuclei (SDRAGNs) identified through Radio Galaxy Zoo and Hubble Space Telescope observations, revealing that these rare hosts of large FR II radio sources are preferentially edge-on, harbor pseudobulges, exhibit diverse nuclear activity including star formation, and reside in significant galaxy overdensities.

Discovery of a 36-minute long-period transient ASKAP J142431.2-612611

This paper reports the discovery of ASKAP J142431.2-612611, a new 36-minute period radio transient observed for eight days with 100% polarized emission that subsequently switched off, offering new insights into the intermittent nature and polarization mechanisms of long-period transients.

Symmetry-Protected Momentum Exchange between Dark Matter and Dark Energy

This paper proposes a symmetry-protected interacting dark energy model where a pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone Boson couples to inert scalar dark matter solely through momentum exchange, demonstrating that while this mechanism modifies cosmological perturbations, it has an intrinsic limit on suppressing structure growth (σ8\sigma_8) that prevents it from fully resolving current low-redshift tensions.

The Average Age Map of the Galactic Bulge

Using VISTA near-infrared photometry of red giant stars, this study reveals a systematic age gradient in the Galactic Bulge where stellar populations become significantly older with increasing galactic latitude, suggesting a dual origin involving a younger pseudo-bulge formed by disk/bar processes near the plane and an older spheroidal component from early collapse or mergers at higher latitudes.

Exploring the spin dependence on mass inclination and distance for the newly discovered black hole X-ray binary Swift J151857.0-572147

This paper analyzes NICER observations of the newly discovered black hole X-ray binary Swift J151857.0-572147 to demonstrate how its spin parameter depends on mass, inclination, and distance, yielding a moderate spin of approximately 0.7 for fiducial values while establishing a framework for more precise future determinations.
