Infrared fine-structure lines at high redshift
Infrared (IR) fine-structure line (FSL) emission arises from the radiative de-excitation of collisionally-excited electrons in atoms and ions. Thanks to their high luminosities and relatively simple physics, IR FSLs have quickly become the workhorse for studying the formation and evolution of galaxies in the nearby and distant Universe. In this review, we introduce the physics of FSL emission and the diagnostics of the ISM that we can derive from them via first principle arguments. We summarize…

The MIRI Excesses around Degenerates (MEAD) Survey I: A candidate cold brown dwarf in orbit around the nearby white dwarf 2MASS J09424023-4637176
The MIRI Excesses Around Degenerates Survey is a Cycle 2 James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) Survey program designed to image nearby white dwarfs in the mid-IR with the MIRI imaging mode. Only a handful of white dwarfs have previously been observed beyond 8~\micron. This survey gathered observations for 56 white dwarfs within 25~pc at 10 and 15~\micron, probing each white dwarf for unresolved IR excesses, IR flux deficits indicative of collision induced absorption, or resolved substellar companio…

The emergence of globular clusters and globular-cluster-like dwarfs: #cosmological simulations in which both dark-matter-free GCs and dark-matter-rich dwarf galaxies naturally emerge in the Standard Cosmology. We show that these objects inhabit distinct locations in the size–luminosity plane and that they have similar ages, age spread, metallicity and metallicity spread to globulars and dwarfs in the nearby Universe. About half of our simulated globulars form by means of regular star formation near the centres of their host dwarf, with the rest forming further out, triggered by mergers. The latter are more tidally isolated and more likely to survive to the present day. Finally, our simulations predict the existence of a new class of object that we call ‘globular-cluster-like dwarfs’ (GCDs)."

Finishing up Blood Glacier, as I thought I'd seen it and was making sure (I haven't, I've just seen something similar). This one's weird and maybe a little cheesy.. I only noticed partway through that unfortunately, it's badly dubbed in English- like, VERY badly. I hate dubbed stuff. Wish it was subbed, but there's no choice for that on Tubi. Just this weird dubbed version. But I'm just here for the gore anyway 😂 which this one's delivering, a little.

Blood Glacier (2013)
At a climate research station in the Alps, the scientists are stunned as the nearby melting glacier is leaking a red liquid. It quickly turns to be very special juice — with unexpected genetic effects on the local wildlife.

Language Model Perplexity Predicts Scientific Surprise and Transformative Impact
Scientific breakthroughs typically emerge through the surprising violation of established research ideas, yet quantifying surprise has remained elusive because it requires a coherent model of all contemporary scientific worldviews. Deep neural networks like large language models (LLMs) are arbitrary function approximators tuned to consistently expect the expressions and ideas on which they were trained and those semantically nearby. This suggests that as LLMs improve at generating plausible tex…

M&M33: MUSE and M33 I. Unveiling the Diversity of HII Regions in M33 with MUSE
We present new VLT/MUSE mosaic observations of a 3 $\times$ 8 arcmin$^2$ area along the southern major axis of the nearby galaxy M33 at a distance of 840 kpc from the Milky Way. These data provide an unprecedented view of the galaxy interstellar medium (ISM), and allow us to resolve ionised nebulae at a spatial scale of $\approx$5 pc. We identify and catalogue 124 HII regions, down to H$α$ luminosities of $\approx 5\times$10$^{35}$ erg s$^{-1}$, one order of magnitude fainter than previous sur…

Ionization Sources of the Local Interstellar Clouds: Two B-stars, Three White Dwarfs, and the Local Hot Bubble
The dominant sources of photoionizing radiation in the extreme ultraviolet (EUV) incident on the exterior of the local interstellar clouds include two nearby early B-type stars, $ε$ CMa ($124\pm2$ pc) and $β$ CMa ($151\pm5$ pc), three hot dwarfs, and the local hot bubble (LHB). Line emission (170-912A) from highly ionized metals (Fe, Ne, Mg) in million-degree LHB plasma may be responsible for the elevated ionization fractions of helium ($n_{\rm HeII}/n_{\rm He} \approx 0.4$) compared to hydro…
