Investigating Energy-Dependent Anisotropy in Cosmic Rays with IceTop Surface Array
This study presents preliminary results from the analysis of cosmic-ray anisotropy using air showers detected by the IceTop surface array between 2011 and 2022. With improved statistical precision and updated Monte Carlo simulation events compared to previous IceTop reports, we investigate anisotropy patterns across four energy ranges spanning from 300 TeV to 6.9 PeV. This work extends the measurement of cosmic-ray anisotropy in the southern hemisphere to higher energies than previously achieve…

90 % der Bürger wünschen sich laut Bitkom mehr Tempo bei der Verwaltungsdigitalisierung. 2017 versprach das OZG: 575 Leistungen bis Ende 2022 online. Realität: erst 165 flächendeckend – selbst gefragteste Behördenleistungen gibt es oft nur in 10 % der Kommunen. Das Vertrauen schwindet schneller, als Aktenordner verstauben. #heise

Gefragteste Behördenleistungen nur in 10 Prozent der Kommunen digital verfügbar
Digitalisierung der Behörden bleibt eine Großbaustelle: Nach wie vor sind viele Leistungen nicht online verfügbar. Die Bürger wünschen laut Bitkom mehr Tempo.

LST-1 observations of GRB 221009A: Insights into its late-time VHE afterglow
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) originate from explosions at cosmological distances, generating collimated jets. GRB 221009A, exploded on 9 October 2022, has been established as the brightest GRB to date. Its bright and long emission was extensively followed up from radio to gamma rays. LHAASO firmly detected the onset of the afterglow emission at energies up to $\sim$13 TeV within about an hour after the burst, starting just a few minutes after the trigger. While this VHE emission component can be acc…

Weak Nearly $\mathcal S$- and Weak Nearly $\mathcal C$- Manifolds
The recent interest of geometers in the $f$-structures of K. Yano (1961) is motivated by the study of the dynamics of contact foliations, as well as their applications in theoretical physics. Weak metric $f$-structures on a smooth manifold, introduced by of the author and R. Wolak (2022), open a new perspective on the theory of classical structures. In the paper, we define structures of this kind, called weak nearly ${\cal S}$- and weak nearly ${\cal C}$- structures, study their geometry, e.g. …

The orbital period and inclination of the neutron star X-ray transient MAXI J1807+132
The neutron star X-ray transient MAXI J1807+132 has undergone outbursts in 2017, 2019, and 2023. We conducted an $R$-band time series photometry campaign using the Isaac Newton Telescope during the 2022 quiescent state. We detected a periodic variation in the light curve, consistent with ellipsoidal modulation, which allowed us to determine an orbital period of $P_{\rm orb} = 4.258 \pm 0.008$ hr. By modelling the light curve, we obtained a binary inclination of $ i = 72\pm5 \, °$ and a mass ra…

Stereo performance of SST-1M at different altitudes
The SST-1M telescopes are a pair of Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes (IACTs) that have been operating at the Ondřejov Observatory (510 m a.s.l.) in the Czech Republic since 2022. Optimized for detecting gamma rays in the energy range 1-300 TeV, they are capable of performing both mono and stereo observations. Despite challenging atmospheric conditions, SST-1M has successfully detected several galactic and extragalactic gamma-ray sources with energies reaching up to 200 TeV during its o…

Observation of VER J2019+368 with the SST-1M stereoscopic system
The Single-Mirror Small Size Telescope (SST-1M) is a small Cherenkov telescope designed to detect gamma rays with energies more than about 1 TeV. The optical design of the SST-1M follows the Davies-Cotton concept to ensure good off-axis performance. In 2022, two SST-1M telescope prototypes were installed in Ondrejov, Czech Republic, and stereoscopic observations of astrophysical gamma-ray sources have been performed since then. VER J2019+368 is an unidentified very-high-energy (VHE) gamma-ray s…

NuSTAR discovers a long type-I X-ray burst from the clocked burster GS 1826-24
The source GS~1826-24 is a neutron star low mass X-ray binary known as the 'clocked burster' because of its extremely regular bursting behavior. We report on the detection of a long type-I X-ray burst from this source. We perform a detailed spectroscopic analysis of the long X-ray burst, lasting for $\sim 600$ s, seen in the NuSTAR observation carried out on 2022 September. The persistent emission is well described by an absorbed thermal Comptonization model (nthcomp), and the source exhibits a…
