A Mid-Infrared Spectroscopic Study of Young Stellar Objects in the SMC Region NGC 346: JWST Detects Dust, Accretion, Ices and Outflows
We present mid-infrared spectroscopic observations of intermediate- to high-mass young stellar objects (YSOs) in the low-metallicity star-forming region NGC 346 located within the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). We conduct these integral-field-unit observations with the Mid-Infrared Instrument Medium Resolution Spectroscopy instrument on board JWST. The brightest and most active star-forming region in the SMC, NGC 346 has a metallicity of $\sim$1/5 $Z_{\odot}$, analogous to the era when star form…

RSV-SLAM: Toward Real-Time Semantic Visual SLAM in Indoor Dynamic Environments
Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) plays an important role in many robotics fields, including social robots. Many of the available visual SLAM methods are based on the assumption of a static world and struggle in dynamic environments. In the current study, we introduce a real-time semantic RGBD SLAM approach designed specifically for dynamic environments. Our proposed system can effectively detect moving objects and maintain a static map to ensure robust camera tracking. The key innov…

Self-lensing binaries in globular clusters - predictions for ELT
Self-lensing (SL) represents a powerful technique for detecting compact objects in binary systems through gravitational microlensing effects, when a compact companion transits in front of its luminous partner. We present the first comprehensive study of SL probability within globular cluster (GC) environments, utilizing synthetic stellar populations from MOCCA simulations to predict detection rates for the Extremely Large Telescope (ELT). Our analysis incorporates finite-size lens effects for w…

Instances of models of double-categorical theories
We contribute a chapter in common to categorical database theory and to the study of higher morphisms between double categories. The common thread here is the notion of instance, or right module, which we generalize from functors from a plain category into Set to the models of a (cartesian) double theory. This provides a concept of instance for such objects as a category equipped with a monad, or a (symmetric) multicategory, recovering the multifunctors into Set in the latter case. We also show…

Étude de quelques familles de $λ$-quiddités et minoration de la taille maximale des $λ$-quiddités irréductibles sur un corps fini
$λ$-quiddities of size $n$ are $n$-tuples of elements from a fixed set that are solutions to a matrix equation which is fundamental in the study of the combinatorics of the modular group and Coxeter's friezes. To gain further insight into these objects, we use a notion of irreducibility, which allows restricting the study to a limited number of elements that must be determined for each set. Our goal here is to define several families of $λ$-quiddities over finite fields and to study their irr…

Automorphisms of valued fields: amalgamation and existential closedness
We study valued fields equipped with an automorphism. We prove that all of them have an extension admitting an equivariant cross-section of the valuation. In residual characteristic zero, and in the presence of such a cross-section, we show that amalgamation problems are solvable precisely when the induced residual problem is, characterise the existentially closed objects of this category, and prove that its positive theory does not have the tree property of the second kind. We prove analogous …

Microlensing of non-singular black holes at finite size: a ray tracing approach
We study the gravitational microlensing of various static and spherically symmetric non-singular black holes (and horizonless, non-singular compact objects of similar size). For pointlike sources we extend the parametrized post-Newtonian lensing framework to fourth order, whereas for extended sources we develop a ray tracing approach via a simple radiative transfer model. Modelling non-relativistic proper motion of the lens in front of a background star we record the apparent brightness as a fu…

An in-depth study of brown dwarfs with TESS
The existence of a deficit of brown dwarfs (BDs) in close orbit around main-sequence stars is one of the most intriguing questions in stellar physics. This so-called BD desert may result from the transition between two different dominant formation processes occurring for different mass regimes. While the BD mass derived from radial-velocity measurements helps confirm the nature of the analyzed objects, the BD radius obtained from transits is important to better constrain the BD age, as BDs are …

A Practical Guide to Rigorously Locate Periodic Orbits in Discrete Dynamics
Periodic orbits are important objects of discrete dynamical systems, but finding them is not always easy. We present a self-contained introductory account, aimed at non-experts, to prove their existence and study their stability using the aid of the computer. The method consists in three main steps. First, we reformulate the problem of identifying a $p$-periodic orbit as a root-finding problem. Second, we find a numerical approximation of the root (i.e. a periodic orbit candidate). Third, we ve…

Abstract: This paper explores the dynamics of learning in a multi-sector general equilibrium model where firms operate under incomplete information about their production returns to scale. Firms iteratively update their beliefs using maximum a-posteriori estimation, derived from observed production outcomes, to refine their knowledge of their returns to scale. The implications of these learning dynamics for market equilibrium and the conditions under which firms can effectively learn their true returns to scale are the key objects of this study. Our results shed light on how idiosyncratic shocks influence the learning process and demonstrate that input decisions encode all pertinent information for belief updates. Additionally, we show that a long-memory (path-dependent) learning which keeps track of all past estimations ends up having a worse performance than a short-memory (path-independent) approach.

Disk fraction among free-floating planetary-mass objects in Upper Scorpius
Free-floating planetary-mass objects (FFPs) have been detected through direct imaging within several young, nearby star-forming regions. The properties of circumstellar disks around these objects may provide a valuable probe into their origin, but is currently limited by the small sizes of the sample explored. We aim to perform a statistical study of the occurrence of circumstellar disks down to the planetary-mass regime. We performed a systematic survey of disks among the population identified…

The spectrum of limit models in a first order setting
Originally introduced by Kolmann and Shelah as a surrogate for saturated models, limit models have been established as natural and useful objects when studying abstract elementary classes. Shelah began the study of when (multiple notions of) limit models exist for first order theories. In this paper we look at their structure. In superstable theories it is known that all limit models are isomorphic, but in the strictly stable case the number of non-isomorphic models was not well understood. H…

Revealing the temperature effect on the nucleon-nucleon inelastic cross section in isospin-asymmetric nuclear medium
The nucleon-nucleon ($NN$) inelastic cross section plays an important role in constraining the nuclear equation of state at high baryon density and in describing the formation and evolution of compact astrophysical objects. In this study, the temperature $T$ dependence of the $Δ^{++}$ and $Δ^{-}$ production cross sections in the isospin-symmetric and -asymmetric nuclear medium is investigated within the self-consistent and relativistic Boltzmann--Uehling--Uhlenbeck (RBUU) framework. Two relat…

Two-stream network-driven vision-based tactile sensor for object feature extraction and fusion perception
Tactile perception is crucial for embodied intelligent robots to recognize objects. Vision-based tactile sensors extract object physical attributes multidimensionally using high spatial resolution; however, this process generates abundant redundant information. Furthermore, single-dimensional extraction, lacking effective fusion, fails to fully characterize object attributes. These challenges hinder the improvement of recognition accuracy. To address this issue, this study introduces a two-stre…
