The peculiar hard state behaviour of the black hole X-ray binary Swift J1727.8$-$1613
Tracking the correlation between radio and X-ray luminosities during black hole X-ray binary outbursts is a key diagnostic of the coupling between accretion inflows (traced by X-rays) and relativistic jet outflows (traced by radio). We present the radio--X-ray correlation of the black hole low-mass X-ray binary Swift~J1727.8$-$1613 during its 2023--2024 outburst. Our observations span a broad dynamic range, covering $\sim$4 orders of magnitude in radio luminosity and $\sim$6.5 in X-ray luminosi…

TARRANT: She wasn't exactly gentle with me. [Harmon and a guard enter]
GUARD: What happened?
TARRANT: He went for a gun. He wasn't going to chance taking the voice test.
KLEGG: There are no weapons on him, he's unarmed.

Ihr kennt das: Man entwickelt ein tolles neues Feature – aber dann noch Release Notes oder einen Blog Post schreiben? Dann lieber wieder was entwickeln.
So haben wir das jetzt mit Flownative Beach ganz schön lange gehandhabt aber es hilft ja nichts, wir müssen ja auch mal darüber schreiben, was es alles so Neues gibt …
Also: Man kann jetzt mit wenigen Klicks Daten einer Beach Instanz in eine andere synchronisieren – über Backups.

Comprehensive Radio Monitoring of the Black Hole X-ray Binary Swift J1727.8$-$1613 during its 2023$-$2024 Outburst
This work presents comprehensive multi-frequency radio monitoring of the black hole low-mass X-ray binary Swift J1727.8$-$1613, which underwent its first recorded outburst after its discovery in August 2023. Through a considerable community effort, we have coalesced the data from multiple, distinct observing programs; the light curves include ${\sim} 10$ months and 197 epochs of monitoring from 7 radio facilities with observing frequencies ranging from (approximately) 0.3$-$230GHz. The primary …

Ultra-lightweight multi-functional gyroid-based metamaterial for simultaneous sound insulation, vibration suppression, and impact mitigation in all directions
Multi-functional materials are increasingly essential in many applications due to their ability to serve multiple purposes, simultaneously. Metamaterials can offer tailored functionality based on carefully designed tessellating basic building blocks, or unit cells, in space. These unit cells are most commonly designed for a single objective, for example, to mitigate an impact, insulate sound, or dampen vibrations. However, a metamaterial that can mitigate impact, attenuate elastic vibrations, i…

Electronegativity effects on plasma dynamics in He/O$_2$ RF microplasma jets at atmospheric pressure
This work investigates the transitions between ohmic mode and Penning-Gamma mode in a capacitively coupled radio frequency micro atmospheric pressure plasma jets (CCRF $μ$APPJ) operated in He/O$_2$ mixtures by comparing phase-resolved optical emission spectroscopy (PROES) measurements of helium excitation with numerical simulations. The simulations employ a hybrid model that treats electrons kinetically via PIC/MCC, while ions and neutrals are modeled fluid dynamically. These results reveal th…
