Star and weak star irreducible fully commutative elements in Coxeter groups of affine types $\widetilde{B}$ and $\widetilde{D}$
The star operation, originally introduced by Kazhdan and Lusztig, was later specialized by Ernst to the so-called weak star reduction on the set of fully commutative elements of a Coxeter group. In this paper, we classify the star and weak star irreducible fully commutative elements in Coxeter groups of affine types $\widetilde{B}_{n+1}$ and $\widetilde{D}_{n+2}$. Focusing then on the case of type $\widetilde{D}_{n+2}$, we use the classification of star irreducible elements to provide a new pro…

The Rosetta Stone Project. I. A suite of radiative magnetohydrodynamics simulations of high-mass star-forming clumps
Context. Star formation and, in particular, high-mass star formation are key astrophysical processes that are far from being fully understood. Unfortunately, progress in these fields is slow because observations are hard to interpret as they cannot be directly compared to numerical simulations. Synthetic observations are therefore necessary to better constrain the models. Aims. With the Rosetta Stone project, we aim to develop an end-to-end pipeline to compare star formation simulations with ob…

An improved local search based algorithm for $k^-$-star partition
We study the $k^-$-star partition problem that aims to find a minimum collection of vertex-disjoint stars, each having at most $k$ vertices to cover all vertices in a simple undirected graph $G = (V, E)$. Our main contribution is an improved $O(|V|^3)$-time $(\frac k2 - \frac {k-2}{8k-14})$-approximation algorithm. Our algorithm starts with a $k^-$-star partition with the least $1$-stars and a key idea is to distinguish critical vertices, each of which is either in a $2$-star or is …

On bursty star formation during cosmological reionization -- influence on the metal and dust content of low-mass galaxies
Observations indicate that high-redshift galaxies undergo episodic star formation bursts, driving strong outflows that expel gas and suppress accretion. We investigate the consequences for metal and dust content of galaxies at $z\geq\!5$ using our semi-analytical model, ASHVINI. We track gas-phase and stellar metallicities $(Z_\text{g}, Z_\star)$ and dust mass $(M_{\rm d})$ in dark matter haloes spanning $M_{\rm h} = 10^6 - 10^{11}\,M_\odot$, comparing continuous and bursty star formation scena…

Challenging a binary neutron star merger interpretation of GW230529
GW230529_181500 represented the first gravitational-wave detection with one of the component objects' mass inferred to lie in the previously hypothesized mass gap between the heaviest neutron stars and the lightest observed black holes. Given the expected maximum mass values for neutron stars, this object was identified as a black hole, and, with the secondary component being a neutron star, the detection was classified as a neutron star-black hole merger. However, due to the low signal-to-nois…

Radio Killed the Axion Star: Constraining Axion Properties with Radio Telescopes
Axion dark matter or any ultralight bosonic dark matter can go through Bose-Einstein condensation due to the large phase density, leading to the formation of axion stars or solitons in dark matter halo centers. The formation rate is enhanced in the presence of the substructures expected in the post-inflationary scenario for the QCD axion or axion-like particles. An axion star will continue to grow until a critical mass is reached, after which it collapses and then explodes, with the emission of…

YSES 2b is a background star: Differential astrometric M-dwarf measurements in time
We wish to confirm the nature of YSES 2b, a purportedly faint companion of the young star YSES 2. We used on-sky observations from SPHERE and GRAVITY to measure the astrometric position of 2b with respect to the star YSES 2, and examined the competing hypotheses of (i) a bound substellar companion versus (ii) a distant unrelated background source with a non-zero proper motion. YSES 2b appears to be a late-type M-dwarf star over 2 kiloparsecs behind the star YSES 2. It has a transverse velocity …

Quantifying Accuracy of an Event-Based Star Tracker via Earth's Rotation

Triggering and quenching in the shadow of AGN: How does AGN proximity affect star formation in the EAGLE simulation?
Active galactic nuclei (AGN) are among the most energetic phenomena in the universe, capable of regulating star formation in galaxies via radiative and mechanical feedback. While AGN feedback is well studied in host galaxies, its influence on neighbouring galaxies within the same large-scale environment remains less understood. In this work, we use the EAGLE cosmological hydrodynamical simulation to examine how proximity to AGN affects star formation in nearby star-forming galaxies (SFGs) out t…

Thermal and magnetic effects on viscosity in Binary Neutron Star mergers
Astrophysical scenarios such as binary neutron star mergers, proto-neutron stars and core-collapse supernovae involve finite temperatures and strong magnetic fields. Previous studies on the effect of magnetic fields on flavor-equilibration processes such as direct Urca relied on the Fermi surface approximation, which is not a reliable approximation in the neutrino-transparent regime of matter in supernovae or neutron star mergers. In a recent study, we went beyond the Fermi surface approximatio…

We calculate in a 1D General Relativistic (GR) hydrodynamic simulation the neutrino luminosity in an astrophysical scenario where a neutron star (NS) displays a hadron-quark phase transition (HQPT) into a Quark Star (QS). Deconfinement is triggered once the central density exceeds a critical threshold above $\sim 3n_0$ being $n_0$, saturation density. We use descriptions based on DD2 and the MIT Bag model equations of state (EOSs). We account for neutrinos using a microphysics forward emission …

Tides from the cloud can induce the fast disruption of star clusters and offer an explanation for Gaia strings
Young stars form in clusters within molecular clouds, but older stars are evenly distributed across the galactic disk, necessitating an explanation for cluster dissolution. We analytically study tidal forces from cold molecular clouds as a key mechanism for accelerated cluster disruption. Cloud tides, caused by the gravitational pull of the parent cloud along the radial direction, arise from the spatial gradient of gravitational acceleration and drive cluster disruption. This mechanism activate…

Tonight comet #Lemmon was picked up by several wide-angle webcams in Europe: https://x.com/JAtanackov/status/1977456751831093352 at the Raxalpe in Austria (left) and https://bsky.app/profile/huubeggen.bsky.social/post/3m2zhian3722b in Abisko, Sweden, together with aurora. Its brightness - https://cobs.si/obs_list?id=2606 - is around 5.2 mag. now and the degree of condensation 5 to 7, so for these cameras the comets looks like a slightly fuzzy green five-mag. star.

Chemical abundances and small-scale gas kinematics in the local star-forming galaxy NGC 2366
We present a detailed spectroscopic study of ionised gas in the nearby (~3.3Mpc) dwarf galaxy NGC 2366, a local analogue of Green Pea galaxies, based on observations with the SCORPIO-2 instrument at the Russian 6-m BTA telescope. Using scanning Fabry-Perot interferometry and long-slit spectroscopy, we examine the gas kinematics, excitation mechanisms, and chemical abundances across the disc of NGC 2366, including its prominent starburst region Mrk 71 and the companion region NGC 2363. We identi…

Star formation in low-density regions of galactic disks

Star formation in low-density regions of galactic disks
We argue that star formation in the disks of low-surface-brightness (LSB) galaxies shares a similar nature with that occurring in the far outer regions of normal-brightness spiral galaxies, such as those with the extended ultraviolet (XUV) disks. In both cases, stars are born in gravitationally stable disks with an extremely low average gas density (on kiloparsec scales), and the efficiency of this process depends on a disk brightness in a similar way. Processes which can stimulate star formati…

A Promise for the JWST era: Massive black holes directly collapsed from wave dark matter haloes, and Star formation in and around their accretion flows
There are several puzzling phenomena from recent JWST observations, which seem to push the standard ΛCDM cosmology over the edge. All those puzzles can be understood in a coherent way if we assume that first massive black holes (MBHs, the "heavy eggs") formed by directly collapsing from wave CDM haloes, which can be even earlier than the formation of first galaxies (the "chickens"). We elucidate two false obstacles that have been believed to prevent wave CDM haloes from collapsing into black h…
