Is the Peculiar Galactic Center Transient Swift J174610.4-290018 A Recurrent Nova?
Swift J174610.4-290018, a peculiar transient X-ray source originally discovered by the Swift satellite in February 2024 at the onset of its outburst, recently attracted intentional or coincident follow-up X-ray observations using Swift, NuSTAR and Chandra. We have performed a comprehensive analysis of the relevant X-ray data to investigate the spectral and temporal properties of this source between October 2000 and July 2024. Archival Chandra data reveal a plausible additional outburst in 2005,…

Solar Low Energy X-ray Spectrometer on board Aditya-L1: Ground Calibration and In-flight Performance
The Solar Low-Energy X-ray Spectrometer (SoLEXS) on board India's Aditya-L1 mission was launched on 2 September 2023 and commenced solar observations on 13 December 2023 following successful aperture cover deployment. Operating from the Sun-Earth L1 Lagrange point, SoLEXS has been providing continuous Sun-as-a-star soft X-ray spectroscopy across 2-22 keV with 170 eV resolution at 5.9 keV and 1-second temporal cadence since 6 January 2024. The instrument employs two Silicon Drift Detectors with …

Quaking in Soft Granular Particles with Speed-dependent Friction: Effect of Inertia
Our previous numerical simulation [C.-E. Tsai et al., Physical Review Research 6, 023065 (2024)] has shown that, for soft granular particles under quasistatic shearing, incorporating a speed-dependent friction is a necessary condition for reproducing the rate-dependent stick-slip fluctuations that have been found in laboratory experiments [J.-C. Tsai et al., Physical Review Letters 126, 128001 (2021)]. As a continuation, here we employ the simulation at a wide range of driving speeds to examine…

Some bounds on the number of non isomorphic cyclic k-cycle systems of the complete graph
In a recent paper (2024) M. Buratti and M.E:Muzychuck have established some lower bounds on the number of non isomorphic cyclic Steiner Triple Systems of order $v\equiv 1$ (mod $6$). We complete their result to the case $v\equiv 3$ (mod $6$). For each odd $k > 3$ we also find lower bounds for the number of non isomorphic cyclic $k$-cycle systems of a complete graph.

Climate change puts pressure on reindeer populations, both wild & domestic herds
In 2024, as unpredictable rains, snow and heat beat down on Finland’s Arctic, reindeer struggled to secure food sources, say Indigenous Sámi herders who shuffle their packs from one grazing ground to another. According to researchers, this is an example of the much larger problem the species faces. Due to climate change, a recent study […]

BTW - that CBC article used a lot of numbers from this report, which because it's all numbers is awesome. Some tidbits:
- The number of farms over 3,500 acres has nearly doubled in 20 years.
- 41.3% of Canadian farmland is rented.
- From 1971 to 2021, the farm population declined by 62.2%, from 1 in 14 Canadians to 1 in 61.
- Farm debt has more than doubled in the last 20 years, from $43B in 2002 to $138.8B in 2022. That is currently 10x the size of net farm income.
- In 2021, 96,043 tonnes of pesticides were sold for agricultural use – more than three times the amount sold in 1991.

The Geodesics Less Traveled: Nonminimal RT Surfaces and Holographic Scattering
The connected wedge theorem states that in order to have a scattering process in the bulk, it is necessary to have O(1/G) mutual information between certain "decision" regions in the boundary theory. While this large mutual information is not generally sufficient to imply scattering, Caminiti et al. (2024) showed that for a certain class of geometries, bulk scattering is implied by a certain relation between two (possibly non-minimal) Ryu-Takayanagi surfaces. Here, we show that the 2-to-2 versi…

Long-term simultaneous 2.25/8.60~GHz monitoring of the newly-discovered repeating FRB~20240114A
We report on the simultaneous monitoring of the repeating fast radio burst (FRB) 20240114A at 2.25 and 8.60~GHz, conducted 66 times between 2024 January 29 and 2025 February 15 with the Shanghai Tianma Radio Telescope (TMRT). In about 180 hours of observation, we detected 155 bursts at 2.25~GHz above a fluence threshold of 0.72~Jy~ms, but none at 8.60~GHz above a fluence threshold of 0.27~Jy~ms. FRB~20240114A exhibited frequency-dependent activity, as evidenced by the non-detections in 14.3 hou…

The Torelli locus and Newton polygons
This manuscript is about abelian varieties that are Jacobians of curves. I started writing it for a lecture series at the Arizona Winter School in 2024 on abelian varieties. A longer more descriptive title might be: The Torelli locus in the moduli space of abelian varieties, with applications to Newton polygons of curves in positive characteristic. To elaborate, this manuscript covers two topics: the first is about the geometry of the Torelli locus; the second is about the arithmetic invariants…

A Nitrogen-rich AGN Powering a Large Ionizing Bubble at z=8.63
We report the detection of Ly$α$ in CANUCS-LRD-z8.6, a recently discovered AGN at z = 8.63 by Tripodi et al. (2024), in new NIRSpec/MSA G140H/F070LP observations. We detect broad Ly$α$ emission (FWHM $= 1540 \pm 260$ km/s) near the systemic velocity, which suggests a large ionizing bubble considering that the universe is almost fully neutral at the redshift. Through Ly$α$ line-shape modeling assuming a Stromgren sphere, we find a large bubble radius, $R_b = 1.5^{+0.3}_{-0.2}$ pMpc, and a mod…
