The Potential Danger to Satellites due to Ejecta from a 2032 Lunar Impact by Asteroid 2024 YR4
On 2032 December 22 the 60 m diameter asteroid 2024 YR4 has a 4% chance of impacting the Moon. Such an impact would release 6.5 MT TNT equivalent energy and produce a ~1 km diameter crater. We estimate that up to 10^8 kg of lunar material could be liberated in such an impact by exceeding lunar escape speed. Depending on the actual impact location on the Moon as much as 10% of this material may accrete to the Earth on timescales of a few days. The lunar ejecta-associated particle fluence at 0.1 …

Submillimeter galaxy overdensities around physically associated quasar pairs
A commonly employed method to detect protoclusters in the young universe is the search for overdensities of massive star forming galaxies, such as submillimeter galaxies (SMGs), around high-mass halos, including those hosting quasars. In this work, we study the Megaparsec environment surrounding nine physically associated quasar pairs between $z=2.45$ and $z=3.82$ with JCMT/SCUBA-2 observations at 450 $μ$m and 850 $μ$m covering a field of view of roughly 13.7 arcmin in diameter (or 32 Mpc$^2$…

Torus covers with controlled volume and diameter
We show that under a lower Ricci curvature bound and an upper diameter bound, a torus admits a finite-sheeted covering space with volume bounded from below and diameter bounded from above. This partially recovers a result of Kloeckner and Sabourau, whose original proof contains a serious gap that currently lacks a resolution.

A note on the properties of the confidence set for the local average treatment effect obtained by inverting the score test
We study the properties of the score confidence set for the local average treatment effect in non and semiparametric instrumental variable models. This confidence set is constructed by inverting a score test based on an estimate of the nonparametric influence function for the estimand, and is known to be uniformly valid in models that allow for arbitrarily weak instruments; because of this, the confidence set can have infinite diameter at some laws. We characterize the six possible forms the sc…

A characterization of all graphs cospectral to the double star $P_2(1,n)$
We examine the adjacency spectrum of trees with diameter three, also referred to as double stars. Using $P_2(a,b)$ to denote a double star with $ a$ and $b$ leaves at its respective endpoints, we discuss graphs which are cospectral to double stars for various parameters $a$ and $b$. In particular, we give constructions for graphs cospectral to $P_2(1,2k)$ for integers $k$. Lastly, we show that the double star $P_2(1,n)$ is determined by its spectrum when $n$ is odd. That is, if a graph $G$ cosp…

A Combinatorial Approach to Novel Boundary Design in Deterministic Lateral Displacement
Deterministic lateral displacement (DLD) is a high-resolution separation technique used in various fields. A fundamental challenge in DLD is ensuring uniform flow characteristics across channel, particularly near sidewalls where pillar matrix inevitably loses its lateral periodicity. Despite attempts in the literature to improve boundary design, significant variations in critical diameter persist near sidewalls, adversely affecting the separation performance. We propose a combinatorial framewor…

Nilpotent graphs over skew PBW extensions
We investigate the diameter and girth of the nilpotent graph for skew PBW extensions over $2$-primal rings, generalizing similar results on skew polynomial rings. Under certain compatibility conditions, we establish bounds for the diameter of the nilpotent graph and prove invariance of the girth under polynomial extensions.

We present new angular diameter measurements for 33 stars from the Navy Precision Optical Interferometer, reaching uncertainties on the limb-darkened diameter of 2% or less for 21 targets. We also determined the physical radius, bolometric flux, luminosity, and effective temperature for each star. Our sample is a mix of giant, subgiant, and dwarf stars, and span spectral classes from mid-A to to mid-K. We combined these 33 stars with samples from previous publications to analyze how the NPOI di…

Acoustic-Driven Surface Cleaning with Millimeter-Sized Bubbles at Translational Resonance
Traditional surface cleaning methods often suffer from drawbacks such as chemical harshness, potential for surface damage, and high energy consumption. This study investigates an alternative approach: acoustic-driven surface cleaning using millimeter-sized bubbles excited at low, sub-cavitation frequencies. We identify and characterize a distinct translational resonance of these bubbles, occurring at significantly lower frequencies (e.g., 50 Hz for 1.3 mm diameter bubbles) than the Minnaert res…

Fully-Distributed Construction of Byzantine-Resilient Dynamic Peer-to-Peer Networks
We address a fundamental problem in Peer-to-Peer (P2P) networks, namely, constructing and maintaining dynamic P2P overlay network topologies with essential properties such as connectivity, low diameter, and high expansion, that are resilient to continuous high churn and the presence of a large number of malicious (Byzantine) nodes. Our main goal is to construct and maintain a sparse (bounded degree) expander topology despite high churn and a large number of Byzantine nodes. Such an expander top…

[T]he earliest radio shows are on the surface of an electromagnetic sphere now 200 light-years in diameter, a sphere expanding at the speed of light. If there is intelligence "out there," looking for signs of intelligent life in the cosmos, its first knowledge of humans will come from (probably) Amos 'n' Andy. Now that is, indeed, a sobering, even disquieting thought.

Algorithms for the Diverse-k-SAT problem: the geometry of satisfying assignments

For $s=2$, the problem of computing the diameter of a $k$-CNF formula was initiated by Creszenzi and Rossi, who showed strong hardness results even for $k=2$. Assuming SETH, the current best upper bound [Angelsmark and Thapper '04] goes to $4^n$ as $k \rightarrow \infty$. As our first result, we give exact algorithms for using the Fast Fourier Transform and cliq…

Vietoris--Rips Shadow for Euclidean Graph Reconstruction
The shadow of an abstract simplicial complex $K$ with vertices in $\mathbb R^N$ is a subset of $\mathbb R^N$ defined as the union of the convex hulls of simplices of $K$. The Vietoris--Rips complex of a metric space $(S,d)$ at scale $β$ is an abstract simplicial complex whose each $k$-simplex corresponds to $(k+1)$ points of $S$ within diameter $β$. In case $S\subset\mathbb R^2$ and $d(a,b)=\|a-b\|$ standard Euclidean, the natural shadow projection of the Vietoris--Rips is already p…

Finding $d$-Cuts in Graphs of Bounded Diameter, Graphs of Bounded Radius and $H$-Free Graphs
The $d$-Cut problem is to decide if a graph has an edge cut such that each vertex has at most $d$ neighbours at the opposite side of the cut. If $d=1$, we obtain the intensively studied Matching Cut problem. The $d$-Cut problem has been studied as well, but a systematic study for special graph classes was lacking. We initiate such a study and consider classes of bounded diameter, bounded radius and $H$-free graphs. We prove that for all $d\geq 2$, $d$-Cut is polynomial-time solvable for graphs …

This paper establishes quantitative high-probability bounds on the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of $ε$-neighborhood graph Laplacians constructed from i.i.d. random variables on $m$-dimensional closed Riemannian manifolds $(M,g)$ that satisfy a uniform lower Ricci curvature bound $\operatorname{Ric}_g\ge -(m-1)K$, a positive lower volume bound, and an upper diameter bound. These results extend to non-collapsed Ricci limit spaces that are measured Gromov-Hausdorff limits of such manifolds, and…

The spatial curvature of the Universe remains a central question in modern cosmology.

Using a sample of 80 FRBs with known redshifts and dispersion measures, we reconstruct the Hubble parameter $H(z)$ via artificial neural networks, which is then used to obtain angular diameter distances $D_A(z)$ through two comp…

Very interesting talks at the #SolarEclipse Conference - https://www.vvs.be/subsite/sec-2025/programme - in Belgium I am attending online: here is the key result by Luca Quaglia who had reported his work in great detail in the papers https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/1538-4365/ac1279 (2021), https://www.iota-es.de/JOA/JOA2022_2.pdf#page=3 (2022) and https://www.iota-es.de/JOA/JOA2024_4.pdf#page=3 (2024) already. There seems to be NO way by now to escape the conclusion the the solar - i.e. photospheric - diameter used by many in the past (and various eclipse map calculations sites still today) is too small. So everyone should use Quaglia's free precision tools at https://www.besselianelements.com instead to get the real length of totality at one's observing spot. And when you are observing at the edges of the totality zone the tools will tell you where the actual border is: traditional maps can the off by some margin! 1/n
