safe voyages to chiyo kamekawa, bassist for japanese underground legends yura yura teikoku, who passed away this week. yura yura, who broke up in 2010, were kinda like the japanese equivalent of (& friends with) yo la tengo. i'm still exploring their vast, diverse discography, working backwards from 2007's "hollow me." so glad i got to see them on their late career US tours.

Mike McCarthy analyzes Micah Parsons sumo wrestling, offseason opportunities
The Dallas Cowboys have been without star edge rusher Micah Parsons for the beginning of the offseason workout program as he embarks on an overseas tour with fellow NFL star C.J. Stroud. According to head coach Mike McCarthy, the team isn’t taking Parsons’ absence as a slight. In fact, he encourages his young defender to “broaden his horizons” while he has the opportunity. Last week, the former first-rounder went viral after posting footage from a sumo wrestling tutorial in Tokyo. McCar…

Phase-Dependent Spectral Shape Changes in the Ultraluminous X-Ray Pulsar NGC 5907 ULX1
Discovery of coherent pulsations from several ultraluminous X-ray pulsars (ULXPs) has provided direct evidence of super-critical accretion flow. However, geometrical structure of such accretion flow onto the central neutron star remains poorly understood. NGC 5907 ULX1 is one of the most luminous ULXPs with the luminosity exceeding $10^{41}~{\rm erg~s^{-1}}$. Here we present a broadband X-ray study of this ULXP using the data from simultaneous observations with XMM-Newton and NuSTAR conducted i…

The large number experimental work presented a conflicting set of evidence, some suggesting spin liquid behavior, while other pointing on deceased magnetization reminding of a valence bond solid with orphan spins.

On the X-ray efficiency of the white dwarf pulsar candidate ZTF J190132.9+145808.7
Strongly magnetized, rapidly rotating massive white dwarfs (WDs) emerge as potential outcomes of double degenerate mergers. These WDs can act as sources of non-thermal emission and cosmic rays, gethering attention as WD pulsars. In this context, we studied the X-ray emissions from ZTF J190132.9+145808.7 (hereafter ZTF J1901+14), a notable massive isolated WD in the Galaxy, using the Chandra X-ray observatory. Our results showed 3.5sigma level evidence of X-ray signals, although it is marginal. …

Scientists try out Stone Age tools to understand how they were used
Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University crafted replica Stone Age tools and used them for a range of tasks to see how different activities create traces on the edge. They found that a combination of macroscopic and microscopic traces can tell us how stone edges were used. Their criteria help separate tools used for wood-felling from other activities. In addition, dated stone edges may be used to identify when timber use began for early humans.
