Asteroseismology with PBjam 2.0: measuring dipole mode frequencies in coupling regimes from main sequence to low-luminosity red giant stars
PBjam is an open-source software package for measuring mode frequencies of solar-like oscillators. These frequencies help constrain stellar evolution models to precisely estimate masses, radii, and ages of stars. The overall aim of PBjam is to simplify this process to the point where it may be done by non-experts or performed on thousands of stars with minimal interaction. The initial release of PBjam was restricted to only identifying modes of $\ell=0$ and $\ell=2$, since these are the simples…

The ngscopeclient about dialog now has a (hopefully) full list of all 77 authors credited! Very manual generation process for now, but I'm going to try and automate the list generation for the future.
One less thing to do before we ship the v0.1 release.
We now have only six release blocking tickets and then we can ship it:
* Fix some shaders assuming unlimited X axis thread block size is possible
* Binary packaging for MacOS
* Window resize events not handled …

Crypto-Assisted Graph Degree Sequence Release under Local Differential Privacy

Crypto-Assisted Graph Degree Sequence Release under Local Differential Privacy
Given a graph $G$ defined in a domain $\mathcal{G}$, we investigate locally differentially private mechanisms to release a degree sequence on $\mathcal{G}$ that accurately approximates the actual degree distribution. Existing solutions for this problem mostly use graph projection techniques based on edge deletion process, using a threshold parameter $θ$ to bound node degrees. However, this approach presents a fundamental trade-off in threshold parameter selection. While large $θ$ values intro…

Infrared observations reveal the reprocessing envelope in the tidal disruption event AT 2019azh
Tidal disruption events (TDEs) are expected to release much of their energy in the far-ultraviolet (UV), which we do not observe directly. However, infrared (IR) observations can observe re-radiation of the optical/UV emission from dust, and if this dust is observed in the process of sublimation, we can infer the un-observed UV radiated energy. TDEs have also been predicted to show spectra shallower than a blackbody in the IR, but this has not yet been observed. We present near/mid-IR observati…

Reading through the changelog, I’m struck by how many new features we have. How is it platforms like Threads, Bluesky, and Twatter take forever to release a new feature with the huge resources they have???

Never too many walkthroughs for a release. It may be a bit of overkill, but it works for us...
1. Pre-release the day before to go over the schedule of activities and assignments.
2. Schedule release and related backups.
3. Day of release and after schedule created for run another walkthrough to verify that the backups are where they need to be, checkpoints are there, start of the process is on manual hold.
4. Schedule an open teams call for the leads, devs and supp…

Accelerating Universe without dark energy: matter creation after DESI DR2
We investigate the cosmological matter creation scenario, an alternative approach to both dark energy and modified gravity theories, after the recent DESI DR2-BAO release. We consider that the total matter sector consists of three independently evolving components, namely, radiation, baryons, and dark matter, with the latter being governed by an adiabatic matter creation process that leads to a modified continuity equation. Due to the violation of the standard conservation law, a creation press…

Expanding the Pierre Auger Observatory Open Data program
Since 2021, the Open Data Portal has provided access to the Pierre Auger Observatory's data for both the scientific community and the general public. The data release process has been in place since the Observatory's foundation. It continues to be strengthened as outlined in the approved policy and the Observatory's Data Management Plan. More than 80 000 cosmic-ray events above $10^{17}$ eV, detected with the surface and fluorescence detectors, have been released at various levels, from calibra…

Stochastic Model of siRNA Endosomal Escape Mediated by Fusogenic Peptides in OVCAR-3
Gene silencing via small interfering RNA (siRNA) represents a transformative tool in cancer therapy, offering specificity and reduced off-target effects compared to conventional treatments. A crucial step in siRNA-based therapies is endosomal escape, the release of siRNA from endosomes into the cytoplasm. Quantifying endosomal escape is challenging due to the dynamic nature of the process and limitations in imaging and analytical techniques. Traditional methods often rely on fluorescence intens…

Pattern formation within phenotype-structured chemotactic populations
Populations can become spatially organised through chemotaxis autoattraction, wherein population members release their own chemoattractant. Standard models of this process usually assume phenotypic homogeneity, but recent studies have shed illumination on the inherent heterogeneity within populations: in terms of chemotactic behaviour, trait heterogeneity can range from the sensitivity to attractant gradients to the rate at which attractants are produced. We propose a framework that accounts fo…
