Evidence of Time-Dependent Diffusive Shock Acceleration in the 2022 September 5 Solar Energetic Particle Event
On 2022 September 5, a large solar energetic particle (SEP) event was detected by Parker Solar Probe (PSP) and Solar Orbiter (SolO), at heliocentric distances of 0.07 and 0.71 au, respectively. PSP observed an unusual velocity-dispersion signature: particles below $\sim$1 MeV exhibited a normal velocity dispersion, while higher-energy particles displayed an inverse velocity arrival feature, with the most energetic particles arriving later than those at lower energies. The maximum energy increas…

A connected network for whom?
About a year ago, I helped move some young relatives in and out of Boston, one leaving Chinatown, the other moving in on September 1 (locally, the day when most of the students renting in the area move in; it causes predictably awful traffic and parking problems).  Because of the parking problems, I did most of this help using a bicycle with a 300lb capacity.

Seit September 2024 gab es nun den 5. Schlaganfall in meinem näheren Verwandten- und Bekanntenkreis. Rechnet man noch 1 Jahr drauf, ist es schon der 7. Ist aber bestimmt normal bzw. alles nur Zufall.

"De zaak van de supermarktmedewerker dient in september 2021, precies 1 week voor de zaak van John Nanhay-Khan. Hoewel Nanhay-Khan vooral fysieke klachten heeft en de supermarktmedewerker cognitieve problemen, bevatten de uitspraken van de 2 mannen exact dezelfde klachtenbeschrijvingen. Wonderlijk genoeg krijgen ze ook dezelfde diagnose. Letterlijk: de formuleringen in beide zaken komen met elkaar overeen, alsof ze van de ene naar de andere zaak zijn geknipt en geplakt.''

Met knip-en-plakwerk en dubieuze testen keurt het UWV werknemers goed
Burgers die bezwaar maken tegen beslissingen van het UWV zijn kansloos bij de rechter. Hoge rechters doen niet aan waarheidsvinding en vertrouwen op dossiers die bestaan uit knip-en-plakwerk en dubieuze leugentesten. ‘Mensen lopen onwetend in de val.’

A new type-1 transition in NGC 1346 revealed by (spectro)polarimetry
We present the first photo- and spectropolarimetric observations of the changing-look active galactic nucleus NGC~1346 taken with the Perkins telescope (November 2022, March 2025) and VLT/FORS2 (August and September 2024), which have revealed a new spectral transition. We find that NGC~1346 has reverted to its former (2001) type-1 spectral state after having been a type-2 active galactic nucleus from 2004 to 2022. More and more intense broad H$β$ (3720 $\pm$ 310 km.s$^{-1}$ full width at half …

Apache Point rapid response characterization of primitive pre-impact detection asteroid 2024 RW$_1$
Pre-impact detection asteroids (PIDAs) may be detected only a few hours before their impact with Earth, providing a brief opportunity to characterize them before impact. We describe the characterization of PIDA 2024 RW$_1$, which was discovered by the Catalina Sky Survey on 2024 September 4 at 05:43 UTC, before it entered the atmosphere near the northern Philippines at 16:39 UTC. We observed 2024 RW$_1$ with the Astrophysical Research Consortium Telescope Imaging Camera on the Apache Point Astr…

RNDC to 'Withdraw' from California By End of Summer (Developing)
Not even halfway into 2025, Republic National Distributing Company (RNDC) has hemorrhaged key supplier accounts in markets across the country, and especially in California. Now, VinePair has learned, the country’s second-largest wine-and-spirits distributor will be departing the Golden State entirely at the beginning of September. Over the weekend, social media was abuzz with versions of this rumor.

The Second and Third Data Releases from the UKIRT Hemisphere Survey
This paper describes the second and third data releases (DR2 and DR3, respectively) from the ongoing United Kingdom Infrared Telescope (UKIRT) Hemisphere Survey (UHS). DR2 is primarily comprised of the $K$-band portion of the UHS survey, and was released to the public on June 1, 2023. DR3 mainly includes the $H$-band portion of the survey, with a public release scheduled for September 2025. The $H$- and $K$-band data releases complement the previous $J$-band data release (DR1) from 2018. The su…

Energetic ($< 2$ MeV) Ion Environment of the Magnetosphere as measured by ASPEX-STEPS on board Aditya-L1 during its earth-bound phase
During its earth-bound phase of the Aditya-L1 spacecraft of India, the Supra-Thermal and Energetic Particle Spectrometer (STEPS) of the Aditya Solar wind Particle EXperiment (ASPEX) was operated whenever the orbit was above 52000 km during 11-19 September 2023. This phase of operation provided measurements of energetic ions (with energies 0.1-2 MeV) in the magnetosphere, magnetosheath, and interplanetary medium. Three interplanetary coronal mass ejections (ICME) hit the magnetosphere during thi…
