September 2025 war weltweit der drittwärmste seit Beginn der Aufzeichnungen.
Laut dem #Copernicus Climate Change Service lag die globale Durchschnittstemperatur bei 16,11 °C – 0,66 °C über dem Mittelwert von 1991–2020.
In #Europa betrug die Abweichung sogar 1,23 °C. Solche

Quasinormal modes from numerical relativity with Bayesian inference
Numerical relativity (NR) enables the study of physics in strong and dynamical gravitational fields and provides predictions for the gravitational-wave signals produced by merging black holes. Despite the impressive accuracy of modern codes, the resulting waveforms inevitably contain numerical uncertainties. Quantifying these uncertainties is important, especially for studies probing subdominant or nonlinear effects around the merger and ringdown. This paper describes a flexible Gaussian-proces…

Exclusive: Neon takes down app after exposing users' phone numbers, call recordings, and transcripts
Call recording app Neon was one of the top-ranked iPhone apps, but was pulled offline after a security bug allowed any logged-in user to access the call recordings and transcripts of any other user.

REBELS-IFU: Linking damped Lyman-$α$ absorption to [CII] emission and dust content in the EoR
Neutral gas in galaxies during the Epoch of Reionisation regulates star formation, dust growth, and the escape of ionising photons, making it a key ingredient in understanding both galaxy assembly and reionisation. Yet, direct constraints on the HI content of galaxies at z>6 have been scarce. With JWST, Ly$α$ damping wings in galaxy spectra can now provide a direct probe of this neutral component. We analyse JWST/NIRSpec prism spectra of 12 UV-luminous galaxies from the REBELS-IFU program at z…

"On July 23rd, 1984, the song was recorded at the Flying Cloud Drive Warehouse in Eden Prairie with the entire band. The song was played and recorded live. After 21 minutes the tape was full and the band were still playing."
It was never released before, with a reason, 21 minutes is a bit long 😆, still interesting for any Prince fan. And the song has an amazing groove...

Constraints on the Thompson optical depth to the CMB from the Lyman-$α$ forest
We present the first constraints on the electron optical depth to reionization, $τ_{\mathrm{e}}$, from the Lyman-$α$ forest alone for physically motivated reionization models that match the reionization's end-point, $z_{\rm{end}}$, required by the same astrophysical probe, and for symmetric reionization models with fixed duration, $Δz$, commonly adopted in CMB reionization analyses. Compared to traditional estimates from the latter, the Lyman-$α$ forest traces the ionization state of the IG…

2025 wird voraussichtlich eines der drei heißesten Jahre seit Beginn der #Wetteraufzeichnungen.
Der November lag global 1,54 Grad über dem vorindustriellen Niveau und damit über dem Ziel des #PariserAbkommens.

Klimawandel: 2025 wohl eines der drei wärmsten Jahre
Ganz so heiß wie das Negativ-Rekordjahr 2024 ist dieses Jahr global noch nicht – aber viel fehlt nicht. Das Klima heizt sich weiter auf. Der November war in Europa ungewöhnlich warm.

Fairness in Token Delegation: Mitigating Voting Power Concentration in DAOs
Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) aim to enable participatory governance, but in practice face challenges of voter apathy, concentration of voting power, and misaligned delegation. Existing delegation mechanisms often reinforce visibility biases, where a small set of highly ranked delegates accumulate disproportionate influence regardless of their alignment with the broader community. In this paper, we conduct an empirical study of delegation in DAO governance, combining on-chain da…
