Direct observation of the X-ray counterpart of the Hα filaments and of the sloshing spiral in the Perseus galaxy cluster
Deep Chandra observations of the Perseus galaxy cluster have allowed for the discovery of X-ray counterparts to the Hα filamentary structures and of a sloshing spiral. However, both components are extremely faint, and their study is largely hindered by the volume-filling hot intracluster medium (ICM). Using the Poisson General Morphological Component Analysis (pGMCA) algorithm, a blind source separation method adapted for Poissonian statistics, we were able to extract detailed, clean morpholog…

Ultrathin bismuth-yttrium iron garnet films with tunable and compensated magnetic anisotropy
We report on the epitaxial growth of nm-thick films of bismuth-substituted yttrium iron garnet (BiYIG) by high-temperature off-axis radio-frequency magnetron sputtering. We demonstrate accurate control of the magnetic properties by tuning of the sputtering parameters and epitaxial strain on various (111)-oriented garnet substrates. BiYIG films with up to -0.80\% lattice mismatch with the substrate remain fully strained up to 60~nm-thick, maintaining a high crystalline quality. Transmission elec…

Simulations of Globular Cluster Evolution with Multiple Stellar Populations
The formation of stars with light-element abundance variations in globular clusters and the subsequent dynamical evolution of these multiple populations remains an open question. One of the most widely discussed is the AGB scenario, in which chemically processed material from the envelopes of AGB stars mixes with re-accreted primordial gas flowing into the center of the cluster. Based on this scenario, more than two hundred MOCCA simulations of cluster evolution have been carried out, incorpora…

The beta decay of Tz=-2 64Se and its descendants: the T=2 isobaric multiplet
In this paper we present our results on the decay of 64Se. It is the heaviest Tz=-2 nucleus that both beta decays and has a stable mirror partner Tz=+2, thus allowing comparison with charge exchange reaction studies. The beta decays of 64Se and its descendants were studied at the RIKEN Nishina Center (Tokyo, Japan) following their production in the fragmentation of 78Kr on a beryllium target. Beta-delayed gamma-ray and particle radiation was identified for each of the nuclei in the decay chain …

Bending Spoons to acquire Eventbrite in $500M all-cash deal
Bending Spoons is acquiring the global event management platform Eventbrite in an all-cash transaction valued at approximately $500 million. Eventbrite would become the latest major global brand to join the Bending Spoons portfolio. Last month, the company announced a definitive agreement to acquire AOL, pending customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals. Bending Spoons also recently completed its $1.38 billion acquisition of Vimeo. “For two decades, Eventbrite has stood at the…
