Lawrow wirft Merz antirussische "Nazi-Parolen" vor
Moskaus Außenminister Sergej Lawrow hat Bundeskanzler Friedrich Merz vorgeworfen, antirussische Losungen wie zu Nazi-Zeiten für eine Militarisierung Deutschlands zu nutzen. Es sei "völliger Unsinn", Russland als Gefahr zu bezeichnen, sagte Lawrow, dessen Land 2022 die Ukraine überfallen hatte, in der malaysischen Hauptstadt Kuala Lumpur. "Ich hoffe, dass jeder Politiker mit e…

Layer Cake Representations for Quantum Divergences
Defining suitable quantum extensions of classical divergences often poses a challenge due to the non-commutative nature of quantum information. In this work, we propose a new approach via what we call the layer cake representation. The resulting quantum Rényi and $f$-divergences are then proven to be equivalent to those recently defined via integral representations. Nevertheless, the approach can provide several insights. We give an alternative proof of the integral representation of the relat…

Optimal bounds for the Kobayashi distance near $\mathcal C^2$-smooth boundary points
It is shown that the optimal upper and lower bounds for the Kobayashi distance near $\mathcal C^{2,α}$-smooth strongly pseudoconvex boundary points obtained in L. Kosinski, N. Nikolov, A.Y. Okten: "Precise estimates of invariant distances on strongly pseudoconvex domains", Adv. Math. 478 (2025), 110388, remain true in the general $\mathcal C^2$ strongly pseudoconvex setting. In fact, the upper bound is extended to the general $\mathcal C^{1,1}$-smooth case. We also give upper and lower bounds …

The VMC Survey -- LIV. Anomalous Cepheids in the Magellanic Clouds Period-Luminosity relations in the near-infrared bands
Anomalous Cepheids (ACs) are less studied metal-poor pulsating stars ([Fe/H]<-1.5) compared to Classical Cepheids (CCs) and RR Lyrae stars. They follow distinct Period-Luminosity (PL) and Period-Wesenheit (PW) relations and pulsate in either the fundamental (F) or first overtone (1O) mode. Our goal is to assess the precision and accuracy of AC-based distances and evaluate their potential for establishing an independent distance scale. We derive new PL and PW relations for F-mode, 1O-mode, and, …

Echo mapping of the black hole accretion flow in NGC 7469
Reverberation mapping (RM) can measure black hole accretion disc sizes and radial structure through observed time lags that should increase with wavelength as $τ\proptoλ^{4/3}$. Our 250-day RM campaign on NGC 7469 combines sub-day cadence 7-band photometry from the Las Cumbres Observatory robotic telescopes and weekly X-ray and UVOT data from Swift. By fitting these light curves, we measure the spectral energy distribution of the variable accretion disc and inter-band lags of just 1.5 days ac…

Quasi-Vertical $β$-Ga$_2$O$_3$ Schottky Diodes on Sapphire Using All-LPCVD Growth and Plasma-Free Ga-Assisted Etching
This work demonstrates quasi-vertical beta-Ga2O3 Schottky barrier diodes (SBDs) fabricated on c-plane sapphire using an all-LPCVD, plasma-free process integrating epitaxial growth of high-quality beta-Ga2O3 and in-situ Ga-assisted etching. A 6.3 micron-thick (-201)-oriented beta-Ga2O3 layer was grown on c-sapphire with a 6-degree miscut, comprising a 3.15 micron moderately doped (2.1e17 cm^-3) drift layer and a heavily doped (1e19 cm^-3) contact layer on a UID buffer. Mesa isolation used Ga-ass…

The EDGE-CALIFA survey: Star formation relationships for galaxies at different stages of their evolution
Galaxy evolution is largely driven by star formation activity or by the cessation of it, also called star formation quenching. In this paper, we present star formation scaling relations for galaxies at different evolutionary stages. To do so, we used the integrated Extragalactic Database for Galaxy Evolution (iEDGE), which collects CO, optical continuum, and emission line information for 643 galaxies from the CALIFA IFU dataset. By considering the patterns described by star-forming and retired …
