Sampling Proper Colorings on Line Graphs Using $(1+o(1))Δ$ Colors
We prove that the single-site Glauber dynamics for sampling proper $q$-colorings mixes in $O_Δ(n\log n)$ time on line graphs with $n$ vertices and maximum degree $Δ$ when $q>(1+o(1))Δ$. The main tool in our proof is the matrix trickle-down theorem developed by Abdolazimi, Liu and Oveis Gharan (FOCS, 2021).

Comparison of the disk precession models with the photometric behavior of TT Ari in 2021-2023
We present a comparative analysis of photometric observations of the cataclysmic variable TT Ari in its bright state, obtained by the TESS orbital observatory in 2021 and 2023 and by ground-based amateur telescopes in 2022. The light curves from 2021 and 2022 are dominated by modulations with a period slightly shorter than the orbital one (negative superhumps), 0.13293 and 0.13273$\,$d respectively. In 2023, much stronger modulations appeared on a much longer time scale of a few days with an am…

Study on the accidental background of the JSNS$^2$ experiment
JSNS$^2$ (J-PARC Sterile Neutrino Search at J-PARC Spallation Neutron Source) is an experiment which searches for sterile neutrinos via the observation of $\barν_μ \to \barν_{e}$ appearance oscillations using muon decay-at-rest neutrinos. The data taking of JSNS$^2$ have been performed from 2021. In this manuscript, a study of the accidental background is presented. The rate of the accidental background is (9.29$\pm 0.39) \times 10^{-8}$ / spill with 0.75 MW beam power and comparable to the …

"It is plainly obvious to everyone that if you’re going to save the world, one of the first things you have to do is buy a 550-year-old British castle near the University of Oxford for about $15 million. This was the logic in 2021 when members of the so-called Effective Altruism movement’s signature institution bought a posh, 25-bedroom residence called Wytham Abbey as a place to have conferences and stage other various intellectual frolics."

Hubble Space Telescope images of SN 1987A: Evolution of the ejecta and the equatorial ring from 2009 to 2022
Supernova (SN) 1987A offers a unique opportunity to study how a spatially resolved SN evolves into a young supernova remnant (SNR). We present and analyze Hubble Space Telescope (HST) imaging observations of SN 1987A obtained in 2022 and compare them with HST observations from 2009 to 2021. These observations allow us to follow the evolution of the equatorial ring (ER), the rapidly expanding ejecta, and emission from the center over a wide range in wavelength from 2000 to 11 000 AA. The ER has …

Characterization of Turbulent Fluctuations in the Sub-Alfvenic Solar Wind
Parker Solar Probe (PSP) observed sub-Alfvenic solar wind intervals during encounters 8 - 14, and low-frequency magnetohydrodynamic turbulence in these regions may differ from that in super-Alfvenic wind. We apply a new mode-decomposition analysis (Zank et al 2023) to the sub-Alfvénic flow observed by PSP on 2021 April 28, identifying and characterizing entropy, magnetic islands, forward and backward Alfvén waves, including weakly/non-propagating Alfvén vortices, forward and backward fast an…

Most American conservatives were still jubilant about the inauguration of Ronald Reagan two days earlier.
They rejoiced at the prospect that Reagan might make good on one of his campaign slogans:

On the Length of Strongly Monotone Descending Chains over $\mathbb{N}^d$
A recent breakthrough by Künnemann, Mazowiecki, Schütze, Sinclair-Banks, and Wegrzycki (ICALP, 2023) bounds the running time for the coverability problem in $d$-dimensional vector addition systems under unary encoding to $n^{2^{O(d)}}$, improving on Rackoff's $n^{2^{O(d\lg d)}}$ upper bound (Theor. Comput. Sci., 1978), and provides conditional matching lower bounds. In this paper, we revisit Lazić and Schmitz' "ideal view" of the backward coverability algorithm (Inform. Comput., 2021) in t…

Optical turbulence profiling at the Table Mountain Facility with the Laser Communication Relay Demonstration GEO downlink
We present the first time the profile of atmospheric optical turbulence has been measured using the transmitted beam from a satellite laser communication terminal. A Ring Image Next Generation Scintillation Sensor (RINGSS) instrument for turbulence profiling, as described in Tokovinin (MNRAS, 502.1, 2021), was deployed at the NASA/Jet Propulsion Laboratory's Table Mountain Facility (TMF) in California. The optical turbulence profile was measured with the downlink optical beam from the Laser Com…

Spatio-temporal modeling for record-breaking temperature events in Spain
Record-breaking temperature events are now very frequently in the news, viewed as evidence of climate change. With this as motivation, we undertake the first substantial spatial modeling investigation of temperature record-breaking across years for any given day within the year. We work with a dataset consisting of over sixty years (1960-2021) of daily maximum temperatures across peninsular Spain. Formal statistical analysis of record-breaking events is an area that has received attention prima…
