Update on the intermediate arrival-direction analyses of the Pierre Auger Observatory
We present an update on the arrival-direction analyses conducted on intermediate angular scales using the complete Phase I data of the Pierre Auger Observatory up to the end of $2022$ with a total exposure of $135{,}000\,\text{km}^2\,\text{sr}\,\text{yr}$. We show the arrival-direction distribution of the ultra-high-energy cosmic rays along the supergalactic plane above $20\,\text{EeV}$, and an update in the search for magnetically-induced signatures in the arrival directions. Furthermore, we p…

Spectroscopic Observations of Four Candidates for Blue Large-Amplitude Pulsators. No BLAPs at High Galactic Latitudes
We have obtained spectroscopic observations for four short-period variable objects detected in ZTF, Gaia, and Pan-STARRS (ZGP) data and classified as Blue Large-Amplitude Pulsators (BLAPs) in McWhirter and Lam (2022): ZGP-BLAP-03, ZGP-BLAP-04, ZGP-BLAP-10, and ZGP-BLAP-15. The variables have periods between 46 and 56 min, full amplitudes of 0.13-0.22 mag in the $r$ band, and light curve shapes typical for radially pulsating stars. Three of them were found at high galactic latitudes (|$b$&#…

A new type-1 transition in NGC 1346 revealed by (spectro)polarimetry
We present the first photo- and spectropolarimetric observations of the changing-look active galactic nucleus NGC~1346 taken with the Perkins telescope (November 2022, March 2025) and VLT/FORS2 (August and September 2024), which have revealed a new spectral transition. We find that NGC~1346 has reverted to its former (2001) type-1 spectral state after having been a type-2 active galactic nucleus from 2004 to 2022. More and more intense broad H$β$ (3720 $\pm$ 310 km.s$^{-1}$ full width at half …

An Optimized Franz-Parisi Criterion and its Equivalence with SQ Lower Bounds
Bandeira et al. (2022) introduced the Franz-Parisi (FP) criterion for characterizing the computational hard phases in statistical detection problems. The FP criterion, based on an annealed version of the celebrated Franz-Parisi potential from statistical physics, was shown to be equivalent to low-degree polynomial (LDP) lower bounds for Gaussian additive models, thereby connecting two distinct approaches to understanding the computational hardness in statistical inference. In this paper, we pro…

On the Earth's tidal perturbations. II. LARES 2 satellite
Laser-ranging satellites have proved their efficiency in high precision testing of General Relativity and constraining modified gravity theories proposed to explain the dark sector and the cosmological tensions. The LARES 2 satellite launched in 2022, is currently providing improved information regarding the frame-dragging effect predicted by General Relativity, as well as the geodesy, thus essentially complementing the data of already existing laser-ranging satellites.

From Revolution to Ruin: An Empirical Analysis Yemen's State Collapse
We assess the broad repercussions of Yemen's 2011 revolution and subsequent civil war on its macroeconomic trajectories, human development, and quality of governance by constructing counterfactual benchmarks using a balanced panel of 37 developing countries over 1990-2022. Drawing on matrix-completion estimators with alternative shrinkage regimes and a LASSO-augmented synthetic-control method, we generate Yemen's hypothetical no-conflict paths for key macroeconomic aggregates, demographic and h…

I didn't know that the value of IPv4 addresses peaked in 2022 and now appears to be declining.
Everyone sitting on a big chunk of IPv4 space is now holding a depreciating asset. If I were them I'd be minded to accelerate their own IPv6 transition in order to sell it off.
But I'd suggest that regardless.

The blazar Markarian 501 (Mrk 501) was observed on three occasions over a 4-month period between 2022 March and 2022 July with the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE). In this paper, we report for the first time on the third IXPE observation, performed between 2022 July 9 and 12, during which IXPE detected a linear polarization degree of $Π_X=6\pm2$ per cent at a polarization angle, measured east of north, of $Ψ_X=143^\circ\pm11^\circ$ within the 2-8 keV X-ray band. The X-ray polarizati…

Localisation and host galaxy identification of new Fast Radio Bursts with MeerKA
Accurately localising fast radio bursts (FRBs) is essential for understanding their birth environments and for their use as cosmological probes. Recent advances in radio interferometry, particularly with MeerKAT, have enabled the localisation of individual bursts with arcsecond precision. In this work, we present the localisation of 15 apparently non-repeating FRBs detected with MeerKAT. Two of the FRBs, discovered in 2022, were localised in 8 second images from the projects which MeerTRAP was …

Very interesting talks at the #SolarEclipse Conference - https://www.vvs.be/subsite/sec-2025/programme - in Belgium I am attending online: here is the key result by Luca Quaglia who had reported his work in great detail in the papers https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/1538-4365/ac1279 (2021), https://www.iota-es.de/JOA/JOA2022_2.pdf#page=3 (2022) and https://www.iota-es.de/JOA/JOA2024_4.pdf#page=3 (2024) already. There seems to be NO way by now to escape the conclusion the the solar - i.e. photospheric - diameter used by many in the past (and various eclipse map calculations sites still today) is too small. So everyone should use Quaglia's free precision tools at https://www.besselianelements.com instead to get the real length of totality at one's observing spot. And when you are observing at the edges of the totality zone the tools will tell you where the actual border is: traditional maps can the off by some margin! 1/n

Assessing the Influence of Pavement Performance on Road Safety Through Crash Frequency and Severity Analysis
Road safety is impacted by a range of factors that can be categorized into human, vehicle, and roadway/environmental elements. This research explores the connection between pavement performance and road safety, particularly in relation to crash frequency and severity, using data from the Iowa Department of Transportation (DOT) for 2022. By merging crash data with pavement inventory data, we conduct a spatial analysis that incorporates the geographical coordinates of crash sites with the conditi…

Symmetries of coefficients of three-term relations for basic hypergeometric series
Any three basic hypergeometric series ${}_{2}ϕ_{1}$ whose respective parameters $a, b, c$ and a variable $x$ are shifted by integer powers of $q$ are linearly related with coefficients that are rational functions of $a, b, c, q$, and $x$. This relation is called a three-term relation for ${}_{2}ϕ_{1}$. In this paper, we prove that the coefficients of the three-term relation for ${}_{2}ϕ_{1}$ considered in the author's earlier paper (2022) have ninety-six symmetries, and present explicit form…
