Evidence for Multimodal Superfluidity of Neutrons

This paper presents theoretical and experimental evidence for a new phase of matter called multimodal superfluidity in neutron-rich systems, characterized by the coexistence of s-wave pairs, p-wave entangled double pairs, and quartets, which is predicted to occur in various fermionic systems and has significant implications for the structure and dynamics of neutron star crusts.

A strongly hyperbolic viscous relativistic hydrodynamics theory with first-order charge current

This paper extends the Bemfica-Disconzi-Noronha-Kovtun (BDNK) first-order dissipative relativistic hydrodynamics model to include a full first-order charge current with out-of-equilibrium corrections, demonstrating that this inclusion ensures a strongly hyperbolic, causal, and stable system coupled to Einstein's equations without requiring additional frame restrictions.

Constraints on White Dwarf Hydrogen Layer Masses Using Gravitational Redshifts

By fitting a Gaussian mixture model to gravitational redshifts and Gaia-derived radii for 468 white dwarfs, this study demonstrates that evolutionary models assuming a thick, mass-dependent hydrogen envelope better match observational data than those with constant envelope masses, thereby validating gravitational redshift measurements as a powerful tool for constraining white dwarf hydrogen layer properties.

A signal dedispersion algorithm for imaging-based transient searches

This paper introduces STRIDE, a novel streaming-based dedispersion algorithm that generates per-pixel time series from interferometric images by partitioning dispersive sweeps across both time and frequency dimensions, thereby drastically reducing memory requirements and enabling efficient transient searches for low-frequency widefield interferometers like the MWA and SKA-Low.

Structured generalized sliced Wasserstein distance for keV X-ray polarization analysis with Gas Pixel Detector

This paper proposes a data-driven "structured generalized sliced Wasserstein distance" method using randomized neural networks to directly analyze two-dimensional polarized images from Gas Pixel Detectors, successfully determining X-ray polarization and incident angles while demonstrating high consistency with traditional statistical models.

Benchmarking pre-main sequence stellar evolutionary tracks using disk-based dynamical stellar masses

This paper benchmarks pre-main sequence stellar evolutionary tracks by comparing HR diagram-derived masses with dynamical masses from ALMA disk observations of Upper Scorpius stars, finding that models with moderate spot coverage best match the data and that incorporating dynamical mass priors significantly reduces age scatter and improves model consistency.

Tracing the AGN-Merger Connection: insights from cosmological simulations and JWST mock observations

By combining cosmological simulations with JWST mock observations, this study reveals that while galaxy mergers significantly trigger AGN activity in gas-poor environments, their observational detection via morphological signatures is hindered at higher redshifts, underscoring the necessity of integrating realistic simulations with observational data to fully understand the AGN-merger connection.

Cosmology with the line-of-sight shear of strong gravitational lenses

This paper proposes utilizing the line-of-sight shear of strong gravitational lenses detected in Stage-IV surveys as a new cosmological probe, demonstrating through analytical derivations and covariance analysis that this approach significantly enhances the standard $3\times 2ptcorrelationmethodtoapt correlation method to a 6\times 2$pt scheme with high signal-to-noise ratio and potential for mitigating systematic errors.

Spiral formation caused by late infall onto protoplanetary disks

This study demonstrates that late infall onto protoplanetary disks can generate distinct spiral structures observable in scattered light and CO line emission, with gradual gas accretion producing well-defined two-armed spirals and active streamer accretion creating flocculent patterns, while noting that these surface-level perturbations generally do not significantly disrupt the midplane unless the infalling mass rivals the disk mass.

The Effect of Different Methods for Accounting for αα-enhancement on the Asteroseismic Modeling of Metal-Poor Stars

This study demonstrates that homogeneous asteroseismic modeling of eight metal-poor, α\alpha-enhanced evolved stars yields consistent fundamental properties regardless of whether α\alpha-enhancement is treated fully or via ad hoc metallicity corrections, while also confirming a breakdown of the νmax\nu_{\text{max}} scaling relation at low metallicities that necessitates detailed modeling for accurate mass and age determinations.
