STRRINGS: STReams in Residual Images of Nearby GalaxieS
Tidal features from galaxy mergers, particularly stellar streams, offer valuable insights into galaxy assembly and dark matter halo properties. This paper aims to identify a large sample of nearby stellar streams suitable for detailed modelling and comparison with simulations to enable population-level constraints on halo properties. We visually inspect and compile a tidal feature catalogue for $19,387$ galaxies with redshift $z \leq 0.02$ from the Siena Galaxy Atlas 2020 using original, model,…

The Space Coronagraph Optical Bench (SCoOB): 7. design, fabrication, and first light for a self-coherent camera
The 2020 Decadal Survey on Astronomy and Astrophysics tasked future space observatories with the goal of detecting and characterizing a large sample of Earth-like exoplanets. To achieve this, these observatories will require coronagraphs and wavefront control algorithms in order to achieve $10^{-10}$ or better starlight suppression. The Space Coronagraph Optical Bench (SCoOB) is a vacuum compatible testbed at the University of Arizona which aims to advance and mature starlight suppression techn…

Theoretical modeling and quantitative research on aquatic ecosystems driven by multiple factors
Understanding the complex interactions between water temperature, nutrient levels, and chlorophyll-a dynamics is essential for addressing eutrophication and the proliferation of harmful algal blooms in freshwater ecosystems algal. However, many existing studies tend to oversimplify thse relationships often neglecting the non-linear effects and long-term temporal variations that influence chlorophyll-a growth. Here, we conducted multi-year field monitoring (2020-2024) of the key environmental fa…

Boundedness of certain multiple Erdélyi-Kober fractional integral operators on the Hardy space $H^1$
In this paper, we establish the boundedness of the multiple Erdélyi-Kober fractional integral operators involving Fox's $H$-function on the Hardy space $H^1$. Our results generalize recent results of Kwok-Pun Ho [Proyecciones 39 (3) (2020), 663--677]. Some useful connections related to the Hausdorff operators are also mentioned.

Tractability Frontiers of the Shapley Value for Aggregate Conjunctive Queries
In recent years, the Shapley value has emerged as a general game-theoretic measure for assessing the contribution of a tuple to the result of a database query. We study the complexity of calculating the Shapley value of a tuple for an aggregate conjunctive query, which applies an aggregation function to the result of a conjunctive query (CQ) based on a value function that assigns a number to each query answer. Prior work by Livshits, Bertossi, Kimelfeld, and Sebag (2020) established that this t…

Photoemission Chronoscopy of the Iodoalkanes
Time delays in photoemission are on the order of attoseconds and have been experimentally determined in atoms, molecules and solids. Their magnitude and energy dependence are expected to yield fundamental insights into the properties of the systems in which they're measured. In a recent study Biswas \textsl{et al.} (Biswas, S., Förg, B., Ortmann, L. et al. Probing molecular environment through photoemission delays. Nat. Phys. 16, 778-783 (2020)) determined the absolute photoemission time of th…

Hybrid GCN-GRU Model for Anomaly Detection in Cryptocurrency Transactions
Blockchain transaction networks are complex, with evolving temporal patterns and inter-node relationships. To detect illicit activities, we propose a hybrid GCN-GRU model that captures both structural and sequential features. Using real Bitcoin transaction data (2020-2024), our model achieved 0.9470 Accuracy and 0.9807 AUC-ROC, outperforming all baselines.

A Flexible Measure of Voter Polarization

A Flexible Measure of Voter Polarization
This paper introduces a definition of ideological polarization of an electorate around a particular central point. By being flexible about the location or width of the center, this measure enables the researcher to analyze polarization around any point of interest. The paper then applies this approach to US voter survey data between 2004 and 2020, showing how polarization between right-of-center voters and the rest of the electorate was increasing gradually, while polarization between left-wing…

The impact of Alfvenic shear flow on magnetic reconnection and turbulence
Magnetic reconnection is a fundamental and omnipresent energy conversion process in plasma physics. Novel observations of fields and particles from Parker Solar Probe (PSP) have shown the absence of reconnection in a large number of current sheets in the near-Sun solar wind. Using near-Sun observations from PSP Encounters 4 to 11 (Jan 2020 to March 2022), we investigate whether reconnection onset might be suppressed by velocity shear. We compare estimates of the tearing mode growth rate in the …
