Detection of New Auroral Emissions at Io and Implications for Its Interaction with the Plasma Torus
We observed Io's optical aurora in eclipse on six nights between 2022 and 2024 using Keck I/HIRES. Spectra revealed 13 new auroral emissions not identified previously, tripling the total number of optical emissions lines detected at Io. These included the O I lines at 777.4 and 844.6 nm, the Na I lines at 818.3 and 819.5 nm, the [S I] lines at 458.9 and 772.5 nm, the S I triplet at 922.3 nm, the [O II] lines at 732.0 and 733.0 nm and the [S II] lines at 406.9, 407.6, 671.6 and 673.1 nm.

Largevars: An R Package for Testing Large VARs for the Presence of Cointegration
Cointegration is a property of multivariate time series that determines whether its non-stationary, growing components have a stationary linear combination. Largevars R package conducts a cointegration test for high-dimensional vector autoregressions of order k based on the large N, T asymptotics of Bykhovskaya and Gorin (2022, 2025). The implemented test is a modification of the Johansen likelihood ratio test. In the absence of cointegration the test converges to the partial sum of the Airy_1 …

This paper investigates International Research Collaboration (IRC) among European Union (EU) countries from 2011 to 2022, with emphasis on gender-based authorship patterns. Drawing from the Web of Science Social Science Citation Index (WoS-SSCI) database, a large dataset of IRC articles was constructed, annotated with categories of authorship based on gender, author affiliation, and COVID-19 subject as topic. Using network science, the study maps collaboration structures and reveals gendered di…

Explanation of the seasonal variation of cosmic multiple muon events observed with the NOvA Near Detector
The flux of cosmic ray muons at the Earth's surface exhibits seasonal variations due to changes in the temperature of the atmosphere affecting the production and decay of mesons in the upper atmosphere. Using data collected by the NOvA Near Detector during 2018--2022, we studied the seasonal pattern in the multiple-muon event rate. The data confirm an anticorrelation between the multiple-muon event rate and effective atmospheric temperature, consistent across all the years of data. Previous ana…

Amazon degradation increases by 163% in two years, while deforestation falls by 54% in the same period
The accelerated degradation of the Brazilian Amazon, primarily due to fires, has overshadowed the significant reduction in deforestation from 2022 to 2024. This "negative balance" in protecting the biome jeopardizes the international goals for combating the climate crisis that have been assumed by the country, which is hosting the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP30) this year.

Minimization of an Energy Functional for an Electron in the quantized Radiation Field over quasifree States
Building upon the works of Bach, Breteaux, and Tzaneteas (2013) and of Bach and Hach (2022), the Bogolubov-Hartree-Fock (BHF) energy of the Pauli-Fierz Hamiltonian is investigated. Upper and lower bounds on the BHF energy are derived, which suggest positivity of the minimizer, see Theorem IV.6. Under the assumption that the minimizer is indeed positive, a necessary condition on the minimizer is determined by introducing a parameterization, which simplifies the functions of operators appearing i…

Galois equiangular tight frames from Galois self-dual codes
Greaves et al. (2022) extended frames over real or complex numbers to frames over finite fields. In this paper, we study the theory of frames over finite fields by incorporating the Galois inner products introduced by Fan and Zhang (2017), which generalize the Euclidean and Hermitian inner products. We define a class of frames, called Galois frames over finite fields, along with related notions such as Galois Gram matrices, Galois frame operators, and Galois equiangular tight frames (Galois ETF…

In this paper, based on isosceles orthogonality, we have found equivalent definitions for three constants: A2(X) proposed by Baronti in 2000 [J. Math. Anal. Appl. 252(2000), 124- 146], CNJ(X) introduced by Alonso et al. in 2008 [Stud. Math. 188(2008), 135-150], and LYJ(X) put forward by Liu et al. in 2022 [Bull. Malays. Math. Sci. Soc., 45(2022), 307-321]. A core commonality among these three constants is that they are all restricted to the unit sphere. This finding provides us with an insight:…

Complete Classification of Directed Quantum Graphs on M2
In 2022, Gromada and Matsuda classified undirected quantum graphs on the matrix algebra $M_2$. Later, Wasilweski provided a solid theory of directed quantum graphs which was formerly only established for undirected quantum graphs. Using this framework we extend the results of Matsuda and Gromada, and present a complete classification of directed quantum graphs on $M_2$. Most prominently, we observe that there is a far bigger range of directed quantum graphs than of undirected quantum graphs on …
