The influence of thermonuclear bursts on polar caps of accreting X-ray millisecond pulsar MAXI J1816-195
We report accretion-powered pulsations for the first time during thermonuclear bursts in hard X-rays, which were observed with Insight-HXMT in 2022 during the outburst of the accreting X-ray millisecond pulsar MAXI J1816-195. By stacking 73 bursts, we detected pulse profiles in 8-30 keV and 30-100 keV during bursts, which are identical to those obtained from the persistent (non-burst) emission. On average, no significant phase lag was observed between burst and persistent pulse profiles. In add…

Dodging the electricity price hike: Can demand-side flexibility compensate for spot price increases for households in Germany?
In 2022, energy prices skyrocketed across Europe, with average day-ahead spot market prices in Germany 2.43 times higher than the previous year, hinting at future trends. At the same time, electricity infrastructure is expected to be overutilized in some regions in the future due to the uptake of electric vehicles, heat pumps, PV systems, and other appliances in the residential sector.

Oscillatory and chaotic pattern dynamics driven by surface curvature
Patterns on curved surfaces are ubiquitous, yet the influence of surface geometry on pattern dynamics remains elusive. We recently reported a new mechanism of pattern propagation in which a static pattern on a flat plane becomes a propagating pattern on a curved surface [Nishide and Ishihara, Phys. Rev. Lett. 2022]. Here, we address whether surface curvature can drive more complex pattern dynamics beyond propagation. By employing a combination of weakly nonlinear analysis and numerical simulati…

Recently, it has been shown in [arXiv:2101.12185v2 (2022)] that for such SDEs the equidistant Euler approximation achieves an $L^2$-error rate of at least $(1+s)/2$, up to an arbitrary small $\varepsilon$, in terms of the number of evaluations of the driving Brownian motion $W$.

Fast forward to today, and Purdy is gearing up to lead the 49ers against the Ka…
