Remember how banning guns because of one mass shooting in 20 years didn't reduce violent crime? Well, I'm sure if they just keep banning everything that ever gets used in a violent crime, human nature will just magically change, right?

Attached: 1 image A reminder that it was never about following the law and being documented—it was always about banning non-white immigration, period. Elon Musk, an white undocumented immigrant, can destroy the Govt & he's praised. A brown immigrant and US citizen can get elected to NYC Mayor & he's a danger. smh

Period relations for Rankin-Selberg convolutions for $\mathrm{GL}(n)\times\mathrm{GL}(n)$
In this paper, we study the special values of Rankin-Selberg L-functions as a continuation of [LLS24]. Utilizing the modular symbol approach, we prove the rationality and period relations for critical values of Rankin-Selberg L-functions for $\mathrm{GL}(n)\times\mathrm{GL}(n)$ over any number field that contains a CM field.

A Glimpse of Satellite Galaxies in the Milky Way with the 2.5-meter Wide Field Survey Telescope (WFST): Bootes III and Draco
We carry out deep imaging of the Milky Way satellite galaxies, Bootes III and Draco, with WFST as one pilot observing program to demonstrate the capability of WFST. Combining catalogs with PS1 DR2 and Gaia DR3, we derive proper motions for candidate member stars in these two satellite galaxies over a 12-year time baseline, yielding uncertainties of ~1.8 mas/yr at 21 mag and ~3.0 mas/yr at 22 mag in the r band. The proper motions derived from bright and faint stars are consistent, indicating no …

Balmer Decrement and IRX Break in Tracing Dust Attenuation at Scales of Individual Star-forming Regions in NGC 628
We investigate the relationships between infrared excess (IRX=$L_{\rm IR}/L_{\rm UV}$) and Balmer decrement (${\rm H}α/{\rm H}β$) as indicators of dust attenuation for 609 ${\rm {H\,{\small II}}}$ regions at scales of $\sim 50-200$ pc in NGC 628, utilizing data from AstroSat, James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE). Our findings indicate that about three fifths of the sample ${\rm {H\,{\small II}}}$ regions reside within the regime occupied by local star…
