Hadronic acceleration in the young star cluster NGC 6611 inside the M16 region unveiled by Fermi-LAT: constraints on the acceleration efficiency
Context. Young Massive Star Clusters, long considered as potentially important sources of galactic cosmic rays, have recently emerged as gamma-ray emitters up to very high energies. Aims. In order to quantify the contribution of this source class to the pool of Galactic CRs, we need to estimate the typical acceleration efficiency of these systems. Methods. We search for emission in the GeV band, as most of the energy is emitted in this band. We perform an analysis of Fermi-LAT data collected to…

Anyone else having the problem that `byobu` takes ages to start up on a remote Linux server? I'm talking like 20-30 seconds here. The machine isn't under heavy load. :BoostOK:

Yeah, "Ahsoka" was mediocre, but if not for "The Acolyte", "The Book of Boba Fett" would have been the single worst series in the history of Star Wars.
But sure, let's lobby for an S2. 🙄

Genndy Tartakovsky's developing a new show 'Heist Safari' that looks pretty great. Loved what he did with Dexter's Lab. This one's about three estranged frog brothers who meet up at their dad's funeral, have to rob a bank to inherit their late dad's fortune, and have issues when they cut side deals with mobsters. Every episode will be executed as just one shot, the events won't be in chronological order, and it'll have an EDM score. Looks & sounds prom…

A Multi-Level Similarity Approach for Single-View Object Grasping: Matching, Planning, and Fine-Tuning
Grasping unknown objects from a single view has remained a challenging topic in robotics due to the uncertainty of partial observation. Recent advances in large-scale models have led to benchmark solutions such as GraspNet-1Billion. However, such learning-based approaches still face a critical limitation in performance robustness for their sensitivity to sensing noise and environmental changes. To address this bottleneck in achieving highly generalized grasping, we abandon the traditional learn…
