Obstructions for normally spanned sets of vertices
Halin conjectured that a graph has a normal spanning tree if and only if every minor of it has countable colouring number. This has recently been proven by the second author. In this paper, we strengthen this result by establishing the following local version of it: Given a prescribed set of vertices $U$ in a connected graph $G$, there is a normal tree in $G$ that includes $U$ if and only if every $U$-rooted minor of $G$ (i.e. a minor every branch set of which meets $U$) has countable colouri…

Vieles ist schlecht gelaufen in den letzten 35 Jahren. Die Folgen spüren wir jetzt. Und dennoch war und bleibt der 9. November 1989 ein magischer Moment.
Ich habe damals in #Flensburg gelebt und die Ereignisse von dort aus mitbekommen. Ich kann mich nur noch vage erinnern, aber ich habe staunend vor dem Fernseher gesessen.

Meine Nacht des Mauerfalls
Zeitzeugen aus Ost und West erzählen vom Mauerfall am 9.11.1989 – eine Nacht, die Geschichte schrieb und Deutschland veränderte. Eine ZDF-Doku.

Bin den ganzen Abend als Zombie die Leute am erschrecken, die zu uns klingeln kommen. Viel Lob von den Begleitern, was wir uns für Mühe mit Garten-, Hausdeko und Kostüm gemacht haben.

#halloween

I wore my Owl head and cyberpunk jacket for the Halloween party at #supercon and a bit Saturday night too. Though I had to keep taking it off to speak to people. At some point I need to add a speaker like those used for some storm trooper helmets.

And so #Ghostwatch ends with possessed Parky. If it wasn't for my nan falling asleep in her armchair whilst me and my sister were staying with her, there's no way I would've been allowed to have watched that aged 10. I'm so glad I did, though, even though I didn't get much sleep that Halloween night! 👻

Mass Loss and Subsequent Thermal Evolution of Surviving Helium White Dwarfs Shocked by Thermonuclear Supernovae
Following a type Ia supernova (SN Ia) in a double white dwarf (WD) binary, a surviving WD companion leaves at its orbital velocity $\approx 1$,000 - 3,000 km/s. The Gaia mission has discovered seven such hypervelocity WDs with inflated radii indicative of shock heating by SN ejecta. We study the interaction between SN ejecta and Roche lobe-filling 0.08 - 0.45 $M_{\odot}$ helium WD companions using three-dimensional hydrodynamical simulations with Athena++. Given the importance of the later ther…
