Long silenced, gig workers in Indonesia are organising and fighting for their rights
On 29 August 2024, the streets around the Presidential palace and the headquarters of Grab and GoJek in Jakarta, Indonesia's capital, were filled with thousands of striking motorcycle taxi gig workers and their allies, wearing green jackets, helmets, and carrying signs calling on better working conditions and legal protections. It was the latest in what has become a regular occurrence across the country: actions, strikes and protests by an increasingly organised sector. Gig workers, long (…)

Seahawks survive a TNF classic, plus MLB's late drama surge https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6662226/2025/09/26/seahawks-cardinals-tnf-the-pulse/

Robert Reich, the former labor secretary, wrote recently that
“the great sleeping giant of America is awakening”,
just as it did after the Communist witch-hunt era in the 1950s
or during the Vietnam war protests
or during the Watergate scandal in the 1970s.
On those occasions, the listing ship eventually was righted.
Reich says he knows the signs of that awakening and sees it happening now.
As evidence, he cites the recent massive protests,

XRISM reveals a variable, multi-phase outflow-inflow structure during the X-ray obscured 2024 outburst of the black hole transient V4641 Sgr
We report the results of a simultaneous X-ray and optical spectroscopy campaign on the Galactic black hole X-ray binary V4641 Sgr, carried out with XRISM and the Seimei telescope during a low-luminosity phase towards the end of its 2024 outburst. Despite a very low X-ray luminosity of $10^{34}$ erg s$^{-1}$, the continuum spectrum is well reproduced by a disk blackbody model with a high inner disk temperature ($1.8$ keV). XRISM/Resolve provides the highest-resolution X-ray spectrum ever obtaine…

GWTC-4.0: Updating the Gravitational-Wave Transient Catalog with Observations from the First Part of the Fourth LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Observing Run
Version 4.0 of the Gravitational-Wave Transient Catalog (GWTC-4.0) adds new candidates detected by the LIGO, Virgo, and KAGRA observatories through the first part of the fourth observing run (O4a: 2023 May 24 15:00:00 to 2024 January 16 16:00:00 UTC) and a preceding engineering run. In this new data, we find 128 new compact binary coalescence candidates that are identified by at least one of our search algorithms with a probability of astrophysical origin $p_{\rm astro} \geq 0.5$ and that are n…

Open Data from LIGO, Virgo, and KAGRA through the First Part of the Fourth Observing Run
LIGO, Virgo, and KAGRA form a network of gravitational-wave observatories. Data and analysis results from this network are made publicly available through the Gravitational Wave Open Science Center. This paper describes open data from this network, including the addition of data from the first part of the fourth observing run (O4a) and selected periods from the preceding engineering run, collected from May 2023 to January 2024. The public data set includes calibrated strain time series for each…

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…

Verification of the NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center solar flare forecast (1998-2024)
The NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) issues the official U.S. government forecast for M-class and X-class solar flares, yet the skill of these forecasts has never been comprehensively verified. In this study, we evaluate the SWPC probabilistic flare forecasts over a 26-year period (1998-2024), comparing them to several zero-cost and statistical baselines including persistence, climatology, Naive Bayes, and logistic regression. We find that the SWPC model does not outperform these bas…

Long-term monitoring of a dynamically new comet C/2020 V2 (ZTF)
Comet C/2020 V2 (ZTF) is categorized as a dynamically new long-period comet, making its first approach to the inner Solar system. We have observed this comet for around 32 months (from January 2022 to July 2024) at heliocentric distances from 5.41 au (pre-perihelion) to 5.26 au (post-perihelion) through various telescopes, employing photometric (60 epochs) and spectroscopic techniques (5 epochs). Using these observations, we derived the production rates of different molecules such as CN$(0-0)$,…

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,…
