Good morning!
Here are some photos from the #Mummelsee in the #Schwarzwald . We wanted to visit it last year already but somehow just managed to go there this time.
The lake itself is scenic and beautiful. But definitely a "hot spot". Luckily we were there at a day/time w…

Nestled along the tranquil edge of a dark, glassy forest pool, a bronze statue of a mermaid rests gracefully upon a weathered rock. Her serene gaze drifts across the still water, which mirrors the surrounding lush greenery and tangled branches of the dense woodland. The mermaid’s shimmering tail, intricately detailed, drapes elegantly over the rock, blending artistry with nature’s quiet beauty. Sunlight filters softly through the canopy, casting dappled reflections on the water’s surface, enhan…

Framed by delicate pine needles, a charming lakeside lodge emerges—its rustic red roof and wooden balconies blending seamlessly with the surrounding forest. The multi-story building, with its warm brown tones and flower-adorned railings, exudes alpine coziness. Below, a calm lake mirrors the muted overcast sky, its surface undisturbed except for a few small ripples. The lodge’s lower level extends almost to the water’s edge, inviting guests to step outside and enjoy the tranquil setting. In the…

A winding wooden boardwalk meanders gracefully through a lush, emerald-green forest, inviting hikers into a tranquil natural sanctuary. The path, constructed from rich, weathered planks, curves gently upward, disappearing into the dense foliage of towering conifers and moss-covered rocks. Sunlight filters softly through the canopy, casting dappled shadows on the forest floor and highlighting the vibrant green moss that clings to boulders and fallen logs.

Nestled beneath a brooding, overcast sky, this tranquil mountain lake exudes a quiet, reflective beauty. The water’s glassy surface mirrors the surrounding evergreen forest, their deep emerald hues blending seamlessly with the muted grays of the clouds above. On the far shore, a striking red building peeks through the trees, its bold color contrasting with the natural palette of greens and browns.

The lake’s edge is lined with wild vegetation—tall grasses sway gently, while fallen logs and sca…

DESI DR1 Ly$α$ forest: 3D full-shape analysis and cosmological constraints
We perform an analysis of the full shapes of Lyman-$α$ (Ly$α$) forest correlation functions measured from the first data release (DR1) of the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI). Our analysis focuses on measuring the Alcock-Paczynski (AP) effect and the cosmic growth rate times the amplitude of matter fluctuations in spheres of $8$ $h^{-1}\text{Mpc}$, $fσ_8$. We validate our measurements using two different sets of mocks, a series of data splits, and a large set of analysis variation…

Nestled deep within a lush, verdant forest, this narrow trail invites hikers into a world of tranquil solitude and natural beauty. The path, a winding ribbon of earthy brown, is gently bordered by moss-covered rocks and boulders, their vibrant green hues suggesting centuries of undisturbed growth. Sunlight filters through the dense canopy above, casting dappled patterns of light and shadow across the forest floor, where fallen leaves and pine needles create a soft, rustling carpet.

Moss blankets the forest floor and climbs up the sides of ancient trees, its vivid green hues contrasting beautifully with the darker bark and scattered brown leaves. Ferns, delicate and intricate, emerge from the undergrowth, their fronds swaying gently in the light forest breeze. A small, trickling stream crosses the path, its rocky bed glistening with moisture, adding a soothing soundtrack to the tranquil scene.

Nestled deep within an ancient forest, this enchanting trail winds its way through a lush, green sanctuary. The path, a narrow ribbon of earthy brown, is softly bordered by vibrant moss-covered mounds that seem to glow with an almost magical luminescence.

Towering trees, their trunks dark and sturdy, rise majestically on either side of the trail, their branches weav…

The 21 cm forest one-dimensional power spectrum as a probe of dark matter particles and primordial black holes
Understanding the nature of dark matter (DM) particles remains a pivotal challenge in modern cosmology. Current cosmological research on these phenomena primarily utilizes cosmic microwave background (CMB) observations and other late-time probes, which predominantly focus on large scales. We introduce a novel probe, the 21 cm forest signal, which can be used to investigate DM properties on small scales during the epoch of reionization, thereby addressing the gap left by other cosmological probe…

One more photo stop that we did after quite a rain pour in the #schwarzwald.
We came up this path when I turned around and saw the sun beams through the canopy. At first I was really stunned to be honest as I hardly *ever* see such scenes!
Strangely I took ways less photos than might have been appropriate, but those two I found worth sharing.
Some more story about them:

The image shows the sun shining through a dense forest, with rays of sunlight filtering through the leaves of the trees. The forest is bathed in a warm, golden light, creating a serene and magical atmosphere. The trees are tall and majestic, their dark silhouettes contrasting against the bright sunlight. The scene is peaceful and tranquil, with a hint of mist or fog adding to the ethereal quality of the setting. The colors are predominantly black, with accents of a rich, earthy green. This capt…

Existing explanations such as the "Big Filter," "Zoo Hypothesis," and "Dark Forest" theory are trapped in isolated frameworks of "hypothesis list paradigm" that resist falsification.

Effective Field Theory Constraints on Primordial Black Holes from the High-Redshift Lyman-$α$ Forest
We present updated constraints on the abundance of primordial black holes (PBHs) dark matter from the high-redshift Lyman-$α$ forest data from MIKE/HIRES experiments. Our analysis leverages an effective field theory (EFT) description of the 1D flux power spectrum, allowing us to analytically predict the Lyman-$α$ fluctuations on quasi-linear scales from first principles. Our EFT-based likelihood enables robust inference across redshifts $z = 4.2-5.4$ and down to scales of 100 kpc, within prev…

A yellow flower with 6 irregular petals and maybe 1 or 2 missing would have a circumscribed circle fill about 70% of the square frame it is in; it is not quite in perfect focus and shaows of some of its petals can be seen on a green leaf behind it that is really unfocused, the background to the upper right turns from dark purple to light purple as you go down.
