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 …

In this paper, we present extended gas kinematic maps of the Perseus cluster by combining five new XRISM/Resolve pointings observed in 2025 with four Performance Verification datasets from 2024, totaling 745 ks net exposure. To date, Perseus remains the only cluster that has been extensively mapped out to ~0.7$r_{2500}$ by XRISM/Resolve, while simultaneously offering sufficient spatial resolution to resolve gaseous substructures driven by mergers and AGN feedback.

Generative AI and Firm Productivity: Field Experiments in Online Retail
We quantify the impact of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) on firm productivity through a series of large-scale randomized field experiments involving millions of users and products at a leading cross-border online retail platform. Over six months in 2023-2024, GenAI-based enhancements were integrated into seven consumer-facing business workflows. We find that GenAI adoption significantly increases sales, with treatment effects ranging from 0\% to 16.3\%, depending on GenAI's marginal…

Next highest weight and other lower $SU(3)$ irreducible representations with proxy-$SU(4)$ symmetry for nuclei with $32 \le \mbox{Z,N} \le 46$
In the applications of proxy-SU(3) model in the context of determining $(β,γ)$ values for nuclei across the periodic table, for understanding the preponderance of triaxial shapes in nuclei with $Z \ge 30$, it is seen that one needs not only the highest weight (hw) or leading $SU(3)$ irreducible representation (irrep) $(λ_H, μ_H)$ but also the lower $SU(3)$ irreps $(λ,μ)$ such that $2λ+ μ=2λ_H + μ_H-3r$ with $r=0,1$ and $2$ [Bonatsos et al., Symmetry {\bf 16}, 1625 (2024)]. These give …
