Unveiling the small-scale web around galaxies with miniJPAS and DESI: the role of local connectivity in star formation
We present the first statistical observational study detecting small-scale filaments in the immediate surroundings of galaxies, i.e. the local web of galaxies. Simulations predict that cold gas, the fuel for star formation, is channeled through filamentary structures into galaxies. Yet, direct observational evidence for this process has been limited by the challenge of mapping the cosmic web at small scales. Using miniJPAS spectro-photometric data combined with spectroscopic DESI redshifts when…

Finding strangelets in cosmic rays from HESS J1731-347, a possible strange quark star using the Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory
The hypothesis that supernova remnants are key sources of Galactic cosmic rays gains support from evidence that HESS J1731-347 one of the few Galactic objects capable of accelerating hadronic cosmic rays to TeV energies may harbor an exotic strange quark star rather than a conventional neutron star. This conclusion stems from its unusually low mass and compact radius, which challenge standard neutron star models.

Dynamic Optimal Transport with optimal star shaped graphs
We study an optimal transport problem in a compact convex set $Ω\subset\mathbb{R}^d$ where bulk transport is coupled to dynamic optimal transport on a metric graph $ \mathsf{G} = (\mathsf{V},\mathsf{E})$ which is embedded in $Ω$. We prove existence of solutions for fixed graphs. Next, we consider varying graphs, yet only for the case of star-shaped ones. Here, the action functional is augmented by an additional penalty that prevents the edges of the graph to overlap. This allows to preserve t…

Here, we investigate positive semidefiniteness and semidefinite programming under the $\star_M$-product. Critical to our investigation is a connection between the choice of matrix M in the $\star_M$-product and the representation theory of an underlying group action. Using this framework, third order tensors equipped with the $\star_M$-product are a natural…

Understanding the rift between update rules in Evolutionary Graph Theory: The intrinsic death rate drives star graphs from amplifying to suppressing natural selection
Evolutionary graph theory is the study of evolutionary dynamics in structured populations. A well-known problem in evolutionary graph theory is that the spread of mutation (measured by fixation probability) is impacted by the graph type chosen and the update rule. For example, the star graph is an amplifier of natural selection under the birth-death with fitness on birth (Bd) update rule but a suppressor of natural selection under the death-birth with fitness on birth (dB) update rule.

Very Massive Stars (VMSs) play an influential role in feedback processes and may potentially produce exotic supernova types and black holes of tens of solar masses. The evolutionary history and final fate of the three most luminous stars, R136a1, R136a2, and R136a3, has been a puzzling issue. We aim to resolve this by rotating single-star MESA models.

The origin of the most recently ejected OB runaway star from the R136 cluster
The $\sim 60\,000$ solar-mass (\MSun) star-cluster R136 (NGC~2070) in the Tarantula Nebula in the Large Magellanic Cloud is the host of at least 55 massive stars ($M \apgt 10$\,\MSun) which move away from the cluster at projected velocities $\gteq 27.5$\,km/s \cite{2024Natur.634..809S}. The origin of the high velocities of such runaway stars have been debated since the 1960s, resulting either from dynamical ejections \citep{1961BAN....15..265B,1961BAN....15..291B} or from supernova explosions \…

Unraveling the Feedback-Regulated Star Formation Activities around the Expanding Galactic MIR Bubble [HKS2019] E71
We explore the physical environment of the Galactic mid-infrared (MIR) bubble [HKS2019] E71 (hereafter E71) through a multi-wavelength approach. E71 is located at the edge of a filamentary structure, as traced in Herschel images (250-500 $μ$m), Herschel column density map, and molecular maps in the velocity range [-20,-14] km/s. It hosts a stellar cluster (radius~1.26 pc, distance~1.81+/-0.15 kpc) associated with radio continuum emission, including a centrally positioned B1.5-type massive star…

The Effect of Photometric Errors on the Measured Width of the Main Sequence in Star Clusters
This paper deals with the effect of errors in the B and V magnitudes, or measurements in any other color system, on the width of the main sequence in a color-magnitude (Hertzsprung-Russell) diagram. The width is defined as the dispersion in apparent (or absolute) magnitude at a fixed, measured photometric color. I find that the dispersion is larger than might be thought, a priori. A statistical analysis is presented which demonstrates that the error in the magnitude residual from a linear appro…

Revealing tensions in neutron star observations with pressure anisotropy
Pressure isotropy, i.e., radial pressure equal to tangential pressure, is often assumed when studying neutron stars. However, multiple physical mechanisms, including pion/kaon condensation, magnetic fields, superfluidity, dark matter clustering, and violations of general relativity, can lead to a pressure anisotropy. This work presents a comprehensive measurement of pressure anisotropy in neutron stars. Our analysis incorporates both an extensive set of nuclear experimental constraints and mult…

On the accretion luminosity of Class I protostars
The value of the accretion luminosity during the early phases of star formation is a crucial information which helps us understand how stars form, yet it is still very difficult to obtain. We develop a new methodology to measure accretion luminosity using mid-infrared hydrogen recombination lines, and apply it to a limited sample of Class~I protostars in the Taurus and Ophiuchus star forming regions. We adopt the commonly used assumption that the properties of disk-protostar accretion in Class …

The Star Formation History and Evolution of the Ultra-Diffuse M81 Satellite, F8D1
We present deep HST imaging of one of the nearest ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs) outside of the Local Group: F8D1, a satellite of M81 known to be tidally disrupting. UDGs are an enigmatic and diverse population, with evolutionary pathways ranging from tidal processing to bursty feedback and high initial angular momentum. To determine F8D1's evolutionary drivers, we resolve stars in F8D1's central $\sim$1 kpc and in a parallel field $\sim$6 kpc along its major axis to deep photometric limits, rea…

Constraining shear modulus of polycrystalline neutron star crust: Hashin-Shtrikman variational approach
The elastic properties of the neutron star crust are thought to play a crucial role in various phenomena of neutron stars (glitches, oscillations, gravitational wave emission) and should be described quantitatively to model these phenomena. The fundamental problem of this description is associated with the polycrystalline nature of the crust: similar to terrestrial materials, the elastic moduli, strictly speaking, depend on the shape and orientation of crystallites, but for the crust, they are …

Multi-band Emission from Star-Disk Collision and Implications for Quasi-Periodic Eruptions
We perform two-dimensional, multi-group radiation hydrodynamic simulations to explore the observational properties of a solar-like star colliding with an accretion disk around a supermassive black hole at separation of $\sim 100$ gravitational radii. We find that the star-disk collision produces ejecta on both sides of the disk. As the ejecta expand and cool, transient flares arise, reaching peak bolometric luminosity of up to $L\gtrsim10^{43}\rm erg~s^{-1}$. We estimate that the typical light …
