The AIDA-TNG project. Abundance, radial distribution, and clustering properties of halos in alternative dark matter models

The AIDA-TNG project utilizes cosmological simulations to demonstrate that alternative dark matter models, specifically warm and self-interacting variants, significantly alter halo abundance, radial distribution, and clustering properties, with small-scale clustering emerging as a key discriminator for future observational comparisons.

Prospects of Prompt Gamma-Ray Burst Polarimetry with POLAR-2

This paper demonstrates that the POLAR-2 mission's High-energy Polarimetry Detector (HPD) will achieve unprecedented time- and energy-resolved linear polarization measurements of prompt gamma-ray bursts, enabling the distinction between competing emission mechanisms and the precise characterization of outflow properties through a novel maximum likelihood fitting technique applied to synthetic sources.

Virgo Filaments VI: Hαα clumps in the filaments around the Virgo galaxy cluster

This study analyzes resolved Hα\alpha maps of 685 galaxies around the Virgo cluster to characterize star-forming clumps, revealing that clump counts follow a fractal power-law relation with distance and finding that filament galaxies exhibit a slightly higher number of peripheral clumps compared to non-filament galaxies, though no conclusive differences in clump size distributions were detected.

Fractal dimension of the cosmic web with different galaxy types

This study utilizes the COSMOS2020 dataset to demonstrate that the fractal dimension of the cosmic web varies systematically with galaxy color and redshift, revealing a distinct hierarchy where blue galaxies exhibit the highest dimensionality and green galaxies the lowest, thereby establishing fractal dimension as a sensitive diagnostic for mapping large-scale structure evolution.

Stratification of the AGN-Driven multi-phase outflows in the dwarf Seyfert galaxy NGC 4395

This study utilizes multi-wavelength data from JWST, ALMA, and Gemini to reveal that the intermediate-mass black hole in the dwarf Seyfert galaxy NGC 4395 drives a stratified, biconical outflow where cold molecular gas dominates the mass loss and kinetic impact on the ISM, while higher ionisation gas is accelerated more efficiently closer to the AGN.

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.
