Contact binary asteroid (153201) 2000 WO107: rotation, shape model, and density
We combine different methods to investigate the rotation, determine the shape and estimate the density of near-Earth asteroid (153201) 2000 WO$_{107}$. We carried out photometric observations of the asteroid during the 2020 apparition. Then we created a program able to simulate the lightcurves, and used it within a Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithm to reconstruct the asteroid shape model from the observational data. The Goldstone radar observations of the asteroid were used as an additi…

Ionic emissions and activity evolution in comet C/2020 F3 (NEOWISE): Insights from long-slit spectroscopy and photometry
Comet C/2020 F3 (NEOWISE) was the brightest comet in the northern hemisphere since C/1995 O1 (Hale-Bopp), providing a unique opportunity to study its composition and spatial distribution of emissions. We conducted narrow-band photometry and long-slit low-resolution spectroscopy to monitor the comet's activity and compositional evolution over several weeks post-perihelion. Narrow-band images (OH, NH, CN, C$_2$, C$_3$, BC, GC, RC) and broad-band images (B, V, Rc, Ic) were acquired with TRAPPIST-N…

Continued fractions with large prime partial quotients
We determine the Lebesgue measure and Hausdorff dimension of various sets of real numbers with infinitely many partial quotients that are both large and prime, thus extending the well-known theorems by Łuczak (1997) and Huang-Wu-Xu (2020). To this end, we obtain new asymptotics on the tail end of the almost prime zeta function. Our results include some recent work by Schindler-Zweim{ü}ller (2023).

I continue to maintain that Biden was one of the worst presidents in my lifetime - mostly due to an accident of timing. If he had been president in 2016 or 2000, he obviously would've been a huge improvement over Trump or Cheney, respectively. Heck, even in 2008 or 2012 or 1996 he would've been.. fine.
But after covid, BLM, 4 years of Trump 1.0 abuses, & subsequent open insurrection by literal fascism, he was the wrong person for the job. He gave the fash 4 years to prep

Toeplitz operators and weighted composition operators on variable exponent Bergman spaces
In a recent paper [JFA, 278 (2020), 108401], Choe et al. obtained characterizations for bounded and compact differences of two weighted composition operators acting on standard weighted Bergman spaces over the unit disk in terms of Carleson measures. Then they extended the results to the ball setting. In this paper, we further generalize those results to variable exponent Bergman spaces over the unit ball. Our proofs, when restricted to the case of constant variable, are new and simpler. Moreov…

On computation of capacities
We give a survey of computation of the conformal capacity of planar condensers, generalized capacity, and logarithmic capacity with emphasis on our recent work 2020-2025. We also discuss some applications of our method based on the boundary integral equation with the generalized Neumann kernel to the computation of several other conformal invariants: harmonic measure, modulus of a quadrilateral, reduced modulus, hyperbolic capacity, and elliptic capacity. Here the solution of mixed Dirichlet-Ne…

Testing, Evaluation, Verification and Validation (TEVV) of Digital Twins: A Comprehensive Framework
Digital twins have emerged as a powerful technology for modeling and simulating complex systems across various domains (Fuller et al., 2020; Tao et al., 2019). As virtual representations of physical assets, processes, or systems, digital twins enable real-time monitoring, predictive analysis, and optimization. However, as digital twins become more sophisticated and integral to decision-making processes, ensuring their accuracy, reliability, and ethical implementation is essential. This paper pr…

Determining the orientation of radio antennas at the South Pole using Galactic noise measurements
The IceCube Neutrino Observatory is a multi-messenger observatory at the South Pole. As preparation for an enhancement of its surface array, IceTop, a prototype station consisting of elevated scintillation panels and radio antennas has been installed and is operating since 2020. The radio antennas detect emissions from cosmic-ray-induced air showers, and their precise orientation is essential for an accurate reconstruction of the air-shower properties. This work presents a novel method to deter…

The z=1.03 Merging Cluster SPT-CL J0356-5337: New Strong Lensing Analysis with HST and MUSE
We present a strong lensing analysis and reconstruct the mass distribution of SPT-CL J0356-5337, a galaxy cluster at redshift z = 1.034. Our model supersedes previous models by making use of new multi-band HST data and MUSE spectroscopy. We identify two additional lensed galaxies to inform a more well-constrained model using 12 sets of multiple images in 5 separate lensed sources. The three previously-known sources were spectroscopically confirmed by Mahler et al. (2020) at redshifts of z = 2.3…

Fourier Spectral Method for Nonlocal Equations on Bounded Domains
This work introduces efficient and accurate spectral solvers for nonlocal equations on bounded domains. These spectral solvers exploit the fact that integration in the nonlocal formulation transforms into multiplication in Fourier space and that nonlocality is decoupled from the grid size. As a result, the computational cost is reduced to $O(N\log N)$ for an $N$-point discretization grid. Our approach extends the spectral solvers developed by Alali and Albin (2020) for periodic domains by incor…

Volatile enrichment in low-mass planets: Signatures of past planetary disruption?
Context: Tidal disruption and engulfment events around main-sequence stars, such as the luminous red nova ZTF SLRN-2020 (a candidate planetary-engulfment event), reveal the destruction of close-in giant planets. While current observations focus on stellar accretion and inner dust emission, the fate of the volatile-rich material expelled during disruption remains poorly understood. Aims: We investigate whether the H/He-rich gas expelled from the disrupted planet's envelope and atmosphere can e…

The interstellar comet 2I/Borisov is the first interstellar object where compositional characterisation was possible throughout its entire perihelion passage.

The spatial dust emission of 2I/Borisov was predominantly smooth, with no seasonal effect. A jet-like feature was consistently visible. The gas production morpho…

LiDO: Discovery of a 10:1 Resonator with a Novel Libration State
The Large inclination Distant Objects LiDO survey has discovered the first securely classified object in the 10:1 mean motion resonance of Neptune. This object, 2020 VN40, is short-term stable in the 10:1 resonance, but not stable on Gyr timescales. 2020 VN40 is likely part of the scattering sticking population, and temporarily resides in the 10:1 resonance at ~139.5 au. This discovery confirms that this distant resonance is populated, as a single detection is likely to be indicative of a large…
