The Trump regime's coordinated repression did not come from nowhere.
In 2024, TheNew York Times reported that the Trump transition team was already planning to use emergency powers, such as the one Trump invoked on June 7,
to confront political opponents who protest the administration.
While the Trump administration planned this move for about a year,
the deployment of troops in Los Angeles is the brutal culmination of a yearslong campaign to systematically erod…

KMT-2024-BLG-0404L: A triple microlensing system consisting of a star, a brown dwarf, and a planet
We have investigated the lensing event KMT-2024-BLG-0404. The light curve of the event exhibited a complex structure with multiple distinct features, including two prominent caustic spikes, two cusp bumps, and a brief discontinuous feature between the caustic spikes. While a binary-lens model captured the general anomaly pattern, it could not account for a discontinuous anomaly feature between the two caustic spikes. To explore the origin of the unexplained feature, we conducted more advanced m…

Phase autoencoder for rapid data-driven synchronization of rhythmic spatiotemporal patterns
We present a machine-learning method for data-driven synchronization of rhythmic spatiotemporal patterns in reaction-diffusion systems. Based on the phase autoencoder [Yawata {\it et al.}, Chaos {\bf 34}, 063111 (2024)], we map high-dimensional field variables of the reaction-diffusion system to low-dimensional latent variables characterizing the asymptotic phase and amplitudes of the field variables. This yields a reduced phase description of the limit cycle underlying the rhythmic spatiotempo…

Search for heavy neutral leptons in $π^+$ decays to positrons
A search for heavy neutral lepton ($N$) production in $π^+\to e^+ N$ in-flight decays using data collected by the NA62 experiment at CERN in 2017-2024 is reported. Upper limits for the extended neutrino mixing matrix element $|U_{e4}|^2$ are established at the level of $10^{-8}$ for heavy neutral leptons with mass in the range 95-126 $MeV/c^2$ and lifetime exceeding 50 ns.

Non-uniform bounds for non-normal approximation via Stein's method with applications to the Curie--Weiss model and the imitative monomer-dimer model

Non-uniform bounds for non-normal approximation via Stein's method with applications to the Curie--Weiss model and the imitative monomer-dimer model
This paper establishes a non-uniform Berry--Esseen bound for non-normal approximation using Stein's method. The main theorem generalizes the result of the authors in [Comptes Rendus Mathematique, 2024] to the context of non-normal approximation. As an application of the main result, we derive non-uniform Berry--Esseen bounds in non-central limit theorems for the magnetization in the Curie--Weiss model and the imitative monomer-dimer model. These extend some existing results in the literature, i…

Energy Spectra of Secondary Particles Induced by Solar Energetic Proton Events and Magnetospheric Effects
We investigate the energy spectra of secondary cosmic ray particles associated with two distinct solar events: the magnetospheric effect (ME) of 5 November 2023 and ground-level enhancement (GLE 74) of 11 May 2024. Using data from the SEVAN and Neutron Monitor networks and energy release histograms from particle spectrometers, we reconstruct spectra and identify key differences between ME and GLE. CORSIKA-based simulations reveal that MEs are caused by galactic protons below geomagnetic cutoff …
