Some Swiss-German speaking folks just don't realize how impolite and disrespectful it is to default to Swiss-German in the middle of conversations, Zoom calls, or similar professional situations where they know for a fact that there are non-Swiss-German speaking attendees (or from abroad!) in the meeting. Whatever the language chosen for a particular meeting, and for the sake of inclusivity and understanding, be respectful. Even native Germans and Austrians struggle with Swiss-German, p…

Hoping for a #flare: During the final days of our 2 week observation campaign with #GREGORSolarTelescope on Tenerife, scientists work remote from the “GREGOR Operations Center” at #MPSGoettingen

And the the #Pleiades #occultation by the #Moon is already history in Bochum, Germany: a final timestep at 22:34 UTC, with the Moon having cleared all major stars of the cluster. Nice show that was - though only for the camera (which was a Panasonic DMC-FZ300 on a tripod, mostly at maximum zoom; this image 1/5 second at f/3.2 and ISO 200, with the Pleiades 25° up).

3 years after car-free JFK/Overlook/Middle/MLK was made permanent, the signage for the non-JFK parts of the route is still so bad. No one but us nerds knows a car-free path to the beach even exists!
There should be a big banner on this overpass telling you to turn left then right. Instead there’s a tiny sign no one will see and even if you do it’s unclear (this isn’t “slow streets,” it’s car-free!)

Today, I learned that the city of #Glendale has a website for reporting damage to public property and requesting repair.

AttZoom: Attention Zoom for Better Visual Features
We present Attention Zoom, a modular and model-agnostic spatial attention mechanism designed to improve feature extraction in convolutional neural networks (CNNs). Unlike traditional attention approaches that require architecture-specific integration, our method introduces a standalone layer that spatially emphasizes high-importance regions in the input. We evaluated Attention Zoom on multiple CNN backbones using CIFAR-100 and TinyImageNet, showing consistent improvements in Top-1 and Top-5 cla…

Universal sectors of two-dimensional Carrollian CFTs
We revisit modular invariance in two-dimensional Carrollian conformal field theories from a geometric perspective. Focusing on the characters of the induced and highest-weight representations of the theory, we show that there are regions of parameter space where the vacuum character dominates in the dual channel. We use this property to zoom into different subsectors of the Carrollian theory. One of them is reminiscent of the Schwarzian sector of a relativistic CFT2 and has a flat space hologra…

Handling Multiple Hypotheses in Coarse-to-Fine Dense Image Matching
Dense image matching aims to find a correspondent for every pixel of a source image in a partially overlapping target image. State-of-the-art methods typically rely on a coarse-to-fine mechanism where a single correspondent hypothesis is produced per source location at each scale. In challenging cases -- such as at depth discontinuities or when the target image is a strong zoom-in of the source image -- the correspondents of neighboring source locations are often widely spread and predicting a …

Nonlinear electrodynamic black hole's impact on the gravitational waveforms from periodic orbits
In this paper, we investigate periodic orbits exhibiting zoom-whirl behavior around a magnetically charged black hole (MCBH) within the framework of nonlinear electrodynamics (NED). We examine how the NED charge parameter influences orbital dynamics by modifying the background spacetime geometry, thereby affecting the energy and angular momentum of particles. In particular, we calculate the radii of the marginally bound orbits (MBOs) and innermost stable circular orbits (ISCOs), demonstrating t…

I find this map especially amusing in that in 1893, 238 colonists departed Australia (purportedly nonexistent) to found the New Australia colony in Paraguay (ditto).
Of course, Australia didn’t federate till 1901, so it could be argued that Australia didn’t *actually* exist at the time. And given Paraguay’s tremendous (but still hotly contested) losses in the 1864-70 Paraguayan War, the latter country was itself hanging on by a thread.

Learning Active Perception via Self-Evolving Preference Optimization for GUI Grounding
Vision Language Models (VLMs) have recently achieved significant progress in bridging visual perception and linguistic reasoning. Recently, OpenAI o3 model introduced a zoom-in search strategy that effectively elicits active perception capabilities in VLMs, improving downstream task performance. However, enabling VLMs to reason effectively over appropriate image regions remains a core challenge in GUI grounding, particularly under high-resolution inputs and complex multi-element visual interact…

Cosmological simulations of the same spiral galaxy: satellite properties, the role of baryonic physics and star formation history in shaping dark matter cores/cusps
We investigate the role of baryonic physics in shaping the population, structure, and internal dynamics of galactic subhalos using the Mochima suite of cosmological zoom-in simulations. A refined method is developed to identify bound subhalo material by isolating the local gravitational potential and applying multi-criteria phase-space selection. This approach enables a robust characterisation of subhalo properties across five baryonic runs with varying prescriptions for star formation, and sup…

Unveiling the Impact of Cosmic Rays on the Disc Sizes and Outflows from Dwarf Scales to Galaxy Groups
Cosmic rays (CRs) are a non-thermal energy component in the interstellar and circumgalactic medium (CGM) that can act as an additional feedback channel beyond thermal and kinetic feedback from stars and AGN. They influence galaxy evolution by altering gas properties, regulating star formation, and shaping galactic outflows. We investigate these effects using a suite of cosmological zoom-in simulations, which incorporate CR transport and feedback on top of the Auriga galaxy formation model. Our …

Auriga Streams III: the mass-metallicity relation does not rule out tidal mass loss in Local Group satellites
Context. The mass-metallicity relation is a fundamental galaxy scaling law that has been extended to the faintest systems in the Local Group. The small scatter in this relation has been used to argue against severe tidal mass loss in Local Group satellites. Aims. We aim to show that the observed scatter is consistent with tidal mass loss seen in cosmological hydrodynamical zoom-in simulations, using simulated Milky Way-mass haloes from the Auriga project as an example. Methods. We analyze the s…

Memoirs of mass accretion: probing the edges of intracluster light in simulated galaxy clusters
The diffuse starlight extending throughout massive galaxy clusters, known as intracluster light (ICL), has the potential to be read as a memoir of mass accretion: informative, individual, and yet imperfect. Here, we combine dark matter-only zoom-in simulations from the Symphony suite with the Nimbus "star-tagging" model of the stellar halo to assess how much information about the mass assembly of an individual galaxy cluster can be gleaned from idealized measurements of ICL outskirts. We show t…
