Measurement of the diffuse astrophysical neutrino flux over six seasons using cascade events from the Baikal-GVD expanding telescope
We present an updated measurement of the diffuse astrophysical neutrino flux using Baikal-GVD cascade data collected between April 2018 to March 2024. In this period, the detector grew from 15% to 55% of its baseline cubic kilometer configuration. The diffuse astrophysical neutrino flux is detected with a statistical significance of 5.1 $σ$. Assuming a single power law model of the astrophysical neutrino flux with identical contribution from each neutrino flavor, the following best-fit paramet…

The source's X-ray flux within this phase interval seems to have exhibited a significant…

Existence of the fundamental solution of the logarithmic Laplacian (in dimensions $d \geq 3$) was established by Huyuan Chen and Laurent Véron (2024).

Strong spectral stabilities for $C_{2k+1}$-free graphs
A stability result due to Ren, Wang, Wang and Yang [SIAM J. Discrete Math. 38 (2024)] shows that if $3\le r \le 2k$ and $n\ge 318 (r-2)^2k$, and $G$ is a $C_{2k+1}$-free graph on $n$ vertices with $e(G)\ge \lfloor {(n-r+1)^2}/{4}\rfloor +{r \choose 2}$, then $G$ can be made bipartite by deleting at most $r-2$ vertices. Using a different method, we give a linear bound on $n$ in terms of $k$ and show a stronger structural result, which roughly says that $G$ can be obtained from a large bipartite …

We study an extension of the 2D Fermi--Hubbard model, which was recently introduced in [Das et al., Phys. Rev.

Using an updated Hartree--Fock method that can detect instabilities towards phase separation, we show that the model is in a mixed phase in large parts of the parameter regime at half-filling. We argue that the occurrence of a mixed phase is an indication of exotic physics which, in…

XRISM Spectroscopy of the Stellar-Mass Black Hole 4U 1630-472 in Outburst
We report on XRISM/Resolve spectroscopy of the recurrent transient and well-known black hole candidate 4U 1630$-$472 during its 2024 outburst. The source was captured at the end of a disk-dominated high/soft state, at an Eddington fraction of $λ_\mathrm{Edd} \sim 0.05~(10 M_{\odot}/M_\mathrm{BH})$. A variable absorption spectrum with unprecedented complexity is revealed with the Resolve calorimeter. This marks one of the lowest Eddington fractions at which highly ionized absorption has been de…

Convection Anisotropies of Cosmic Rays in Highly Magnetized Plasma
Recently, Zhang & Liu (2024) proposed a turbulent convection model for multiscale anisotropies of cosmic rays (CRs), with an assumption of isotropic diffusion such that the anisotropies are statistically isotropic. However, this assumption may be unrealistic for TeV CRs, whose observations have revealed the significance of the local interstellar background magnetic field. To meet the difficulty, the turbulent convection scenario needs to be extended to cover anisotropic diffusion. In this paper…

Investigating MAXI J1752$-$457 with NuSTAR in the aftermath of a superburst
We present two NuSTAR observations of the X-ray transient, MAXI J1752$-$457, following a superburst which was observed by MAXI/GSC in November, 2024. NuSTAR follow-up confirmed that MAXI J1752$-$457 is coincident with the previously observed Einstein Probe source, EP240809a. We performed a spectral analysis of the source during both NuSTAR observations, and we confirm that the hard X-ray spectra are consistent with the inclusion of a spherical blackbody component. At about 79 hours after the on…

Repeating Flares, X-ray Outbursts and Delayed Infrared Emission: A Comprehensive Compilation of Optical Tidal Disruption Events
Tidal disruption events (TDEs) have been proposed as valuable laboratories for studying dormant black holes. However, progress in this field has been hampered by the limited number of observed events. In this work, we present TDECat, a comprehensive catalogue of 134 confirmed TDEs (131 optical TDEs and 3 jetted TDEs) discovered up to the end of 2024, accompanied by multi-wavelength photometry (X-ray, UV, optical, and IR) and publicly available spectra. We also study the statistical properties, …
