Mapping continuous-variable quantum states onto optical scalar beams
Optical fields provide an accessible platform to explore connections between classical and quantum mechanics. We introduce a group-theoretic framework based on the $\mathrm{su}(1,1)$ Lie algebra to construct classical analogs of continuous-variable quantum states using the spatial degree of freedom of paraxial scalar beams. Our framework maps squeezed number states onto scalar beams expanded in orthonormal Gaussian modal bases, encompassing both Gaussian and non-Gaussian classical analogs, incl…

The PHANGS-MUSE/HST-Halpha Nebulae Catalogue
We present the PHANGS-MUSE/HST-Halpha nebulae catalogue, comprising 5177 spatially resolved nebulae across 19 nearby star-forming galaxies (< 20 Mpc), based on high-resolution Halpha imaging from HST, homogenised to a fixed 10 pc resolution and sensitivity. Combined with MUSE spectroscopy, this enables robust classification of 4882 H II regions and separation of planetary nebulae and supernova remnants. Electron densities for 2544 H II regions are derived using [S II] diagnostics, and nebular s…

Distributed Stochastic Model Predictive Control with Temporal Aggregation for the Joint Dispatch of Cascaded Hydropower and Renewables
This paper addresses the real-time energy dispatch of a hybrid system comprising cascaded hydropower plants, wind, and solar units, jointly participating in the day-ahead energy market under inflow, renewable generation, and price uncertainties. Traditional scenario-based stochastic model predictive control (MPC) faces severe computational bottlenecks due to the complexity arising from the temporal, asset, and scenario dimensions of this control problem. To address this, we propose a novel cont…

Dark Energy Survey Year 6 Results: improved mitigation of spatially varying observational systematics with masking
As photometric surveys reach unprecedented statistical precision, systematic uncertainties increasingly dominate large-scale structure probes relying on galaxy number density. Defining the final survey footprint is critical, as it excludes regions affected by artefacts or suboptimal observing conditions. For galaxy clustering, spatially varying observational systematics, such as seeing, are a leading source of bias. Template maps of contaminants are used to derive spatially dependent correction…

Watched "Mars Express" for the second time because I noticed that I had bought it last year on Prime. I liked it just as much as the first time I saw it.
It has a nice "Ghost in the Shell" vibe going on but it's less philosophical. It makes up for it with great animation and smooth camera moves as well as lots of imaginative sci-fi tech. An exceptional non-Japanese gem in the animated sci-fi genre!

Unified Spectrospatial Forward Models: Spatially Continuous Maps of Weak Emission Lines in the Rosette Nebula with SDSS-V LVM
Analyses of IFU data are typically performed on a per-spaxel basis, with each spectrum modelled independently. For low signal-to-noise (S/N) features such as weak emission lines, estimating properties is difficult and imprecise. Arbitrary binning schemes boost S/N at the cost of resolution, and risk introducing biases. We present a general forward-modelling approach that assumes spectra close on the sky are more similar than distant ones, and so can be modelled jointly. These "spectrospatial" m…

A New Boundary Condition on Reionization
The epoch of reionization (EoR) marks the last phase transition of hydrogen in our Universe, as it evolves from cold and neutral to hot and ionized in the intergalactic medium (IGM). While its endpoint and duration can be estimated from current observations, albeit with large uncertainties, there is no known avenue to constrain its onset. We propose a novel method based on the Pearson cross-correlation coefficient between 21-cm brightness temperature maps and line-intensity maps tracing star-fo…

ALMA-IMF. XXI.: N$_2$H$^+$ kinematics in the G012.80 protocluster: Evidence for filament rotation and evolution
(abridged) We aim to characterize kinematic processes in the G012.80 protocluster. We principally focus on the N$_2$H$^+$(1$-$0) emission to trace the dense and cold gas. Additionally, we use lines such as DCN(3$-$2), H41$α$, C$^{18}$O(1$-$0), and SiO(5$-$4), as well as continuum maps. We perform a N$_2$H$^+$ hyperfine spectral line fitting to analyze multiple velocity components and spectral parameters. We estimate velocity gradients, column densities, and line-mass profiles for the two main …
