A High-Order Compact Hermite Difference Method for Double-Diffusive Convection
In this paper, a class of high-order compact finite difference Hermite scheme is presented for the simulation of double-diffusive convection. To maintain linear stability, the convective fluxes are split into positive and negative parts, then the compact Hermite difference methods are used to discretize the positive and negative fluxes, respectively. The diffusion fluxes of the governing equations are directly approximated by a high-order finite difference scheme based on the Hermite interpolat…

The Low Mass Dwarf Host Galaxy of Non-Repeating FRB 20230708A
We present Very Large Telescope/X-Shooter spectroscopy for the host galaxies of 12 fast radio bursts (FRBs) detected by the Australian SKA Pathfinder (ASKAP) observed through the ESO Large Programme "FURBY", which imposes strict selection criteria on the included FRBs and their host galaxies to produce a homogeneous and well-defined sample. We describe the data reduction and analysis of these spectra and report their redshifts, line-emission fluxes, and derived host properties. From the present…

Pair density modulation from glide symmetry breaking and nematic superconductivity

Pair density modulation from glide symmetry breaking and nematic superconductivity
Pair density modulation is a superconducting state, recently observed in exfoliated iron-based superconductor flakes, in which the superconducting gap oscillates strongly with the same periodicity as the underlying crystalline lattice. We propose a microscopic model that explains this modulation through a combination of glide-mirror symmetry breaking and the emergence of nematic superconductivity. The first ingredient results in a sublattice texture on the Fermi surface, which is aligned with t…

Quantifying Spin Defect Density in hBN via Raman and Photoluminescence Analysis
Negatively charged boron vacancies ($\mathrm{V_B^-}$) in hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) are emerging as promising solid-state spin qubits due to their optical accessibility, structural simplicity, and compatibility with photonic platforms. However, quantifying the density of such defects in thin hBN flakes has remained elusive, limiting progress in device integration and reproducibility. Here, we present an all-optical method to quantify $\mathrm{V_B^-}$ defect density in hBN by correlating Rama…

Evidence of the Earth's inner radiation belts during the low Solar and geomagnetic activity obtained with the STEP-F instrument
Purpose: The subject of research is the spatio-temporal charged particles in the Earth's magnetosphere outside the South Atlantic magnetic Anomaly during the 11-year cycle of solar activity minimum. The work aims at searching for and clarifying the sustained and unstable new spatial zones of enhanced subrelativistic electron fluxes at the altitudes of the low Earth orbit satellites. Design/methodology/approach: Finding and ascertainment of new radiation belts of the Earth were made by using t…

Bright polarised x-ray flashes from dense plasmas
Creating a plasma dominated by strong-field QED (SFQED) effects is a major goal of new multi-PW laser facilities. This is motivated by the fact that the fundamental dynamics of such plasmas is poorly understood and plays an important role in the electrodynamics of extreme astrophysical environments such as pulsar magnetospheres. The most obvious observable for which such a regime has been reached is the production of a bright flash of x-rays, but distinguishing this from other sources of hard x…
