Hey Fediverse.
If you were filling in a profile on a website and there was a dropdown list for gender,
1) is there any argument for having a 4th option beside female / male / non-binary?
2) is there a better word or short phrase for non-binary that would annoy fewer people? Is "other" better, or offensive to anyone?

Population Synthesis Study on the Binary Origin of Type Ibn Supernovae
Type Ibn supernovae (SNe) are a class of SN explosions whose progenitors are surrounded by dense helium-rich circumstellar matter (CSM). Some models have been proposed for how to form the dense CSM, with promising scenarios involving either binaries with a low-mass ($\lesssim 3~M_\odot$) helium (He) star, or mergers following common envelope phases between a He star and a compact object. Using rapid binary population synthesis calculations, we estimate the event rate of these channels and compa…

A Unified Framework for Human AI Collaboration in Security Operations Centers with Trusted Autonomy
This article presents a structured framework for Human-AI collaboration in Security Operations Centers (SOCs), integrating AI autonomy, trust calibration, and Human-in-the-loop decision making. Existing frameworks in SOCs often focus narrowly on automation, lacking systematic structures to manage human oversight, trust calibration, and scalable autonomy with AI. Many assume static or binary autonomy settings, failing to account for the varied complexity, criticality, and risk across SOC tasks c…

Code-based $[3,1]$-avoiders in finite affine spaces $\mathrm{AG}(n,2)$
The author, together with Nagy, studied the following problem on unavoidable intersections of given size in binary affine spaces. Given an $m$-element set $S\subseteq \mathbb{F}_2^n$, is there guaranteed to be a $[k,t]$-flat, that is, a $k$-dimensional affine subspace of $\mathbb{F}_2^n$ containing exactly $t$ points of $S$? Such problems can be viewed as generalizations of the cap set problem over the binary field. They conjectured that for every fixed pair $(k,t)$ with $k\ge 1$ and $0\le t\le…

Huntsman may need to be irradiated
Millisecond pulsars are rapidly rotating neutron stars, and it is now widely accepted that their extremely short rotation periods result from the accretion of material from a companion star. Binary evolution theory predicts that millisecond pulsars can have various types of companion stars. However, in observations, binary pulsars with giant companions, referred to as ``huntsman pulsars'', are extremely rare. Following the initial discovery of the first huntsman pulsar, 1FGL J1417.7-4407, a sec…

Effect of crystallinity on spin-orbit torque in 5$\textit{d}$ iridium oxide IrO$_{2}$
The 5$\textit{d}$ transition-metal oxides provide an intriguing platform for generating an efficient spin current due to a unique electronic structure dominated by 5d electrons with strong spin-orbit coupling. Here, we report on the effect of crystallinity on current-driven spin-orbit torque (SOT) in binary 5$\textit{d}$ iridium oxide IrO$_{2}$ thin films by controlling amorphous, polycrystalline, and epitaxial states. By conducting harmonic Hall measurement in bilayers composed of ferromagneti…

Binary Neutron Star Mergers as Potential Sources for Ultra-High-Energy Cosmic Rays and High-Energy Neutrinos

Binary Neutron Star Mergers as Potential Sources for Ultra-High-Energy Cosmic Rays and High-Energy Neutrinos
Recent studies suggest that the most energetic cosmic rays, exceeding 100 EeV, may primarily consist of $r$-process nuclei. This highlights binary neutron star mergers and collapsars as promising sources of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays (UHECRs). Building on these insights, we examine the conditions that facilitate the efficient production of UHE $r$-process nuclei during the prompt radiation (PR), extended emission (EE), and plateau emission phases of short gamma-ray bursts (sGRBs) following n…

Player the #oblivionremastered version yesterday for a few hours. It brought back soo many great memories of how I setup a room with my brother all those years ago with a Xbox and a beamer to play the game for many hours.
Everything looked so amazing back then and the remaster does well at transporting a similar feeling. Though the game world is sometimes a bit bare when one looks …

Binarity at LOw Metallicity (BLOeM): Pipeline-Determined Physical Properties of OB Stars
We aim to determine the physical properties of OB stars from the multi-epoch VLT/FLAMES BLOeM spectroscopic survey of the Small Magellanic Cloud. We apply a pipeline designed to analyse large spectroscopic samples of OB stars to the co-added, initial 9 epochs of the BLOeM survey, utilising grids of synthetic model spectra computed with the stellar atmosphere code FASTWIND. 69 OB stars are excluded from the analysis owing to disk emission or significant contamination by secondaries in SB2 binari…
