Metastable helium in the thermosphere
SPHEREx, a recently launched astronomy mission, detected a bright 1.083 micron emission feature in the commissioning data. The PI group attributed this feature to the He I 1.0833 micron triplet line. Here, I review the physics and aeronomy of this well-known line of atmospheric origin. SPHEREx is in a dawn-dusk sun-synchronous polar orbit, circling the earth nearly 15 times a day and observing close to the terminator plane. With a height of 650 km, SPHEREx is located in the upper thermosphere t…

Commissioning and Testing of IceAct Telescopes at the IceCube Neutrino Observatory
IceAct is an array of imaging air Cherenkov telescopes located at the ice surface above the IceCube Neutrino Observatory. Each telescope features a silicon photomultiplier based 61 pixel camera and a Fresnel-lens as imaging optic, resulting in a 12-degree field of view. The design is optimized to be operated in harsh environments, particularly at the South Pole. The setup will consist of seven telescopes in a so-called fly's eye configuration, increasing the field of view to 36^\circ, and an ad…

Glow discharge induced reactions in mixtures of ozone and chlorodifluoromethane with atmospheric gases
The influence of extraterrestrial particles like cosmic radiation (CR) on the chemistry and ozone density in the Earth stratosphere is not well investigated and normally neglected in stratospheric chemistry models. Here we present the commissioning of a lab-based apparatus which aims at simulating conditions in the stratosphere in order to get better insight into the reactions induced by the secondary-particle showers from high-energetic CR which can reach low altitudes. Admixtures of ozone and…

Design and Commissioning of an LWA Swarm Station: The Long Wavelength Array -- North Arm
Modern radio interferometers are designed with increasingly sprawling geographical footprints, offering enhanced sensitivity and resolution. However, managing such extensive facilities presents operational challenges that can potentially impede or delay scientific progress. One solution to such obstacles is the `swarm telescope' concept which enables collaborative use of individual telescope systems, overseen by separate institutions, to create a more powerful and manageable facility. We presen…

Installation and first commissioning results of the JEF lead tungstate calorimeter
The Electromagnetic Calorimeter (ECAL), consisting of 1,596 lead tungstate scintillating crystals, has been recently constructed and installed in Experimental Hall D at Jefferson Lab (JLab). The calorimeter is a key component of the JLab Eta Factory Experiment, whose main goal is to measure the decays of eta and eta prime mesons into multi-photon final states. The ECAL replaces the inner part of the former forward lead-glass calorimeter. Scintillation light from each crystal is detected using H…

Rapid parameter estimation with the full symphony of compact binary mergers using meshfree approximation
We present a fast Bayesian inference framework to address the growing computational cost of gravitational-wave parameter estimation. The increased cost is driven by improved broadband detector sensitivity, particularly at low frequencies due to advances in detector commissioning, resulting in longer in-band signals and a higher detection rate. Waveform models now incorporate features like higher-order modes, further increasing the complexity of standard inference methods. Our framework employs …
