The Impact of School and Family Networks on COVID-19 Infections Among Dutch Students: A Study Using Population-Level Registry Data
Understanding the impact of different social interactions is key to improving epidemic models. Here, we use extensive registry data -- including PCR test results and population-level networks -- to investigate the impact of school, family, and other social contacts on SARS-CoV-2 transmission in the Netherlands (June 2020--October 2021). We isolate and compare different contexts of potential SARS-CoV-2 transmission by matching pairs of students based on their attendance at the same or different …

A systematic analysis of the X-ray emission in optically selected tidal disruption events: observational evidence for the unification of the optically and X-ray selected populations
We present a systematic analysis of the X-ray emission of a sample of 17 optically selected, X-ray-detected tidal disruption events (TDEs) discovered between 2014 and 2021. The X-ray light curves show a diverse range of temporal behaviors, with most sources not following the expected power-law decline. The X-ray spectra are mostly extremely soft and consistent with thermal emission from the innermost region of an accretion disk, which cools as the accretion rate decreases. Three sources show fo…

Gradient estimates for positive eigenfunctions of $ \mathcal{L} $-operator on conformal solitons and its applications
We prove a local gradient estimate for positive eigenfunctions of $ \mathcal{L} $-operator on conformal solitons given by a general conformal vector field. As an application, we obtain a Liouville type theorem for $ \mathcal{L} u = 0 $, which improves the one of Li--Sun (Acta Math. Sin. (Engl. Ser.), 37(11): 1768--1782, 2021.). We also consider applications where manifolds are special conformal solitons. Especially in the case of self-shrinkers, a better Liouville type theorem is obtained.

Investigating the Properties of the Relativistic Jet and Hot Corona in AGN with X-ray Polarimetry
X-ray polarimetry has been suggested as a prominent tool for investigating the geometrical and physical properties of the emissions from active galactic nuclei (AGN). The successful launch of the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) on 9 December 2021 has expanded the previously restricted scope of polarimetry into the X-ray domain, enabling X-ray polarimetric studies of AGN. Over a span of two years, IXPE has observed various AGN populations, including blazars and radio-quiet AGN. In this…
