X-Ray Intraday Variability of the Blazar OJ 287 Observed with XMM-Newton

This study analyzes XMM-Newton observations of the blazar OJ 287 from 2005 to 2022, revealing low-amplitude intraday variability, cospatial soft and hard X-ray emissions, and a red noise-dominated power spectrum that indicates significant contributions from both particle acceleration and synchrotron cooling mechanisms.

Variability Study and Searching for QPOs with day-like periods in the blazar S5 0716+714 with TESS

Using high-cadence TESS optical data, this study analyzes the variability of blazar S5 0716+714, finding that its light curves are best described by bending power laws and complex CARMA processes rather than simple damped random walks, while also identifying a potential ~6.5-hour quasi-periodic oscillation with ~95% global significance.

Accretion dynamics and coronal geometry in Mrk 530: Insights from 24 years of X-ray monitoring

Based on 24 years of X-ray monitoring, this study reveals that accretion-driven coupling between the disc and corona governs both the long-term spectral evolution and transient quasi-periodic oscillations in the Seyfert galaxy Mrk 530, with specific accretion rates dictating coronal geometry and thermal balance.

Untangling dust emission and CIB anisotropies with the Scattering Transform Statistics

This paper introduces a novel statistical component separation method using Scattering Covariance statistics to effectively disentangle Galactic dust emission from Cosmic Infrared Background anisotropies in Planck 353 GHz data, overcoming the limitations of traditional template-fitting approaches in regions with complex gas phases.

Global Abiotic Sulfur Cycling on Earth-like Terrestrial Planets

This paper presents an open-source dynamical box model to simulate global abiotic sulfur cycling on Earth-like planets, revealing that the absence of life would result in marine sediment sulfate concentrations two orders of magnitude higher and sulfide concentrations four orders of magnitude lower than on present-day Earth.

Inverse-mapped density-dependent relativistic mean-field inference of the neutron-star equation of state with multi-messenger constraints

This study employs Bayesian inference within a density-dependent relativistic mean-field framework, constrained by multi-messenger data ranging from chiral effective field theory to massive pulsar observations, to reconstruct a thermodynamically consistent neutron-star equation of state that predicts a compact canonical radius of approximately 11.6 km and reveals strongly interacting matter cores with sound speeds exceeding the conformal limit.

Search for Periodic Radio Signals from Double Neutron Star System Companions Using the Fast Folding Algorithm

Using the Fast Folding Algorithm and the PYSOLATOR resampling code on 272.2 hours of FAST telescope data, researchers searched for periodic radio signals from companions in 13 double neutron star systems but found no new companion signals among 197,962 candidates, despite successfully improving the detection of known pulsars.

Size measurements and characterization of the astrophysical properties of multiple-component radio-AGNs in the ROGUE I catalog

This paper presents hand-curated size measurements and multi-wavelength characterizations of 2,002 multiple-component radio AGNs in the ROGUE I catalog, revealing how morphological classes, jet stability, and local intracluster medium conditions influence source sizes, arm-length asymmetries, and evolutionary tracks across redshifts 0.01 to 0.54.

Fundamental properties of protoplanetary discs determined from simultaneous fits to thermal dust images and spectral energy distributions

This study introduces a novel machine learning method coupled with Bayesian optimization to simultaneously fit ALMA images and spectral energy distributions of protoplanetary discs, revealing that this approach yields more accurate dust mass estimates and demonstrates a significant decrease in disc scale height and flaring from Class I to Class II objects.

The contribution to Galactic Centre {\gamma}-ray excess from cluster-born millisecond pulsars. Constraints from direct N-body simulations

Using high-resolution direct N-body simulations to track neutron stars from both surviving and disrupted globular clusters, this study demonstrates that the resulting population of millisecond pulsars can fully reproduce the observed Galactic Centre gamma-ray excess, thereby favoring an astrophysical origin over dark matter annihilation.

Implications for Type Ia Supernova Nucleosynthesis from an Experimentally Constrained 16^{16}O(p,α)13(p,\alpha)^{13}N Reaction Rate

By performing the first direct measurement of the 16^{16}O(p,α)13(p,\alpha)^{13}N reaction at astrophysical energies, researchers determined a thermonuclear rate approximately 1.5 times higher than standard values, thereby ruling out a previously suggested seven-fold enhancement and concluding that this reaction alone cannot explain observed calcium-to-sulphur and argon-to-sulphur ratio variations in Type Ia supernovae.

Effects of Self-Interaction and of an Ideal Gas in Binary Mergers of Bosonic Dark Matter Cores

This study uses 3D simulations to demonstrate that while binary mergers of bosonic dark matter cores consistently produce stable solitonic remnants, the final mass retention is non-universal and critically depends on whether repulsive or attractive self-interactions are present, whereas the inclusion of an ideal gas component modifies the gravitational background without altering the intrinsic scaling of the bosonic core.
