Numerical Renormalization Group computation of magnetic relaxation rates Krissia Zawadzki
This document describes a numerical renormalization group (NRG) computation of nuclear magnetic relaxation rates using a two-center basis approach. The NRG and Lanczos methods are used to calculate the spin-lattice relaxation rate 1/T1 as a function of temperature T and distance r from the impurity. Results show that 1/T1 dependence on T changes as the probe crosses the Kondo screening cloud radius rK, and the phase of low-energy Friedel oscillations also changes, indicating the Kondo screening cloud radius can be measured via NMR.
The Chelyabinsk meteor: joint interpretation of infrasound, acoustic, and sei...Mikhail Rozhkov
The Chelyabinsk meteor was an event testing the capability of the International Monitoring System to measure and the International Data Centre to analyze sources similar to nuclear explosions. Monitoring of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty suggests the possibility to detect infrasound (acoustic) and seismic signals from atmospheric and underground events and to locate their sources. The shock wave from the Chelyabinsk meteor generated an I-phase recorded by IMS infrasound stations and a series of seismic phases. The Pn-waves were observed by five near-regional seismic stations together with Sn- and Lg-waves. They are most likely associated with the impact of the meteor debris and the location associated with their source differs by tens of kilometers from that obtained by Rayleigh and Love waves. The latter were generated by acoustic (low-amplitude shock) waves hitting the ground beneath the trajectory of the meteor. Surprisingly, these surface waves associated with the meteor and observed at least at distances of 45º were not associated with the event in the Reviewed Event Bulletin. This implies a conceptual gap in the IDC processing and fusion of acoustic and seismic waves. We present an approximate distribution of energy release along the trajectory and thus the amplitude of the generated shock wave. This allows interpreting the period and amplitude dependence of the LR and LQ waves on the trajectory altitude. Corresponding relationships were obtained from the set of historical atmospheric nuclear tests. We also compare the Chelyabinsk meteor with seismic observations from the 1984 Chulym River (Siberia) bolide, which was approximately 1000 km east of the studied event. We estimate the energy of both bodies and its distribution between various waves in order to interpret their respective sources and to discuss possible mechanisms of acoustic/seismic wave generation and conversion.
The document summarizes research on finding electromagnetic counterparts to gravitational wave sources detected by LIGO and Virgo. It discusses that neutron star mergers are a promising source of both gravitational waves and short gamma-ray bursts. Numerical simulations show neutron star mergers produce neutron-rich debris ejected at high velocities, which could power a luminous "kilonova" lasting several days. Future wide-field optical surveys like LSST could detect such kilonova emissions from neutron star mergers within the gravitational wave detection range of advanced LIGO and Virgo, helping associate gravitational wave sources with electromagnetic events.
Acoustic and seismic effects of the 2013 Chelyabinsk meteorite as measured by...Ivan Kitov
Two events crucial for monitoring of nuclear explosions under the CTBT occurred on February 12 and 15 and attracted attention of the mass media and scientists. Seismic waves from the underground event and infrasound waves from the meteorite are of extreme interest as well as various processes of energy conversion at the free surface. Infrasound station I45(RU) collocated with seismic array USRK recorded the epicentral I-phase generated by the DPRK 2013 event and the seismoacoustic wave emitted beneath the station. The shock wave from the Chebarkul meteorite generated a regular I-phase recorded by many IMS infrasound stations and a series of seismic phases likely associated with impact and acoustoseismic conversion. Due to the altitude of the peak energy release, the air-coupled ground rolls with a group velocity of 3.5 km/s were generated. A similar pattern was observed after the 1984 r.Chulym (Siberia) bolide. We estimate the energy of both sources and discuss possible mechanisms of acoustic/seismic wave generation and conversion.
Are we alone? How prevalent is intelligent life in the Universe? How are the recent exoplanet discoveries by NASA's Kepler mission bearing on this question?

This document analyzes the systematic uncertainty of measuring the polarization of the Upsilon meson at the CMS detector. It first provides background on the Upsilon meson and the motivation to understand its polarization. It then describes simulating millions of proton-proton collisions to model different polarization scenarios and applying cuts to estimate the systematic uncertainty from differences in acceptance between polarized and unpolarized cases. The analysis finds the systematic uncertainty at CMS to be similar to that found at the STAR detector, with some differences in momentum and acceptance thresholds.
1) The document discusses the cosmic microwave background (CMB), which is remnant radiation from the Big Bang.
2) It describes the CMB temperature anisotropy and polarization patterns that have been observed, including the pursuit of detecting primordial gravitational waves through B-mode polarization patterns.
3) Kinetic inductance detectors (KIDs) are introduced as the detector technology to be used for the proposed ground-based telescope (GB) to map the CMB polarization at high angular resolution in search of primordial gravitational waves. Design details and simulations of KID arrays are presented.
The document discusses event-by-event fluctuations in Hanbury-Brown–Twiss (HBT) radii measurements from heavy-ion collisions and how to characterize the distributions of these measurements. It presents formalisms for direct ensemble averages (DEAs) of HBT radii, which represent the true mean of the event-wise HBT distribution, and physical ensemble averages (PEAs), which are weighted averages. It then describes methods to estimate the DEA and its moments like variance from measurements of weighted averages across event sub-ensembles, allowing characterization of the underlying HBT distribution using only limited single-event information.
The upcoming June 30, 2012 leap second event will be the first mid-year leap second in 16 years. Most GPS receivers have not experienced a leap second event before and testing is recommended to determine if algorithms and software successfully manage the discontinuity. Spectracom GPS simulators can easily simulate the leap second event in under 35 minutes. The simulator provides the necessary parameters for receivers to correctly calculate UTC from GPS time around the leap second event.
The document discusses the fireshell model for classifying gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). It presents an analysis of two short GRBs, 08024B and 140402A, within the fireshell model. The fireshell model proposes two families of short GRBs originating from neutron star mergers. It estimates redshifts and isotropic energies for the two GRBs. The analysis finds that not all short GRBs produce GeV emission, and that GeV emission may be associated with accretion onto a black hole. It also notes that the absence of X-ray detections after some short GRBs is not surprising given observational limitations.
1) Pulsar timing arrays are searching for gravitational waves from massive black hole binaries in the nanohertz frequency range.
2) Current pulsar timing array efforts have not detected a gravitational wave signal but are placing increasingly stringent upper limits.
3) Future and more sensitive radio telescopes like FAST, MeerKAT, and the Square Kilometre Array will improve the prospects for a direct detection of gravitational waves from massive black hole binaries within the next decade.
This document summarizes a lecture on using gravitational wave waveform models to test general relativity and probe the nature of compact objects through gravitational wave observations. It discusses how waveform models can be used to bound post-Newtonian coefficients, constrain phenomenological merger-ringdown parameters, and probe the quasi-normal modes of black hole ringdowns. Measuring multiple modes could verify the no-hair theorem and black hole uniqueness properties. Future observations from LIGO and Virgo at design sensitivity may allow high-precision black hole spectroscopy and tests of general relativity in the strong, dynamical gravity regime.
1) DUNE aims to resolve the matter-antimatter asymmetry by searching for neutron-antineutron oscillations, a baryon number violating process.
2) Simulations of atmospheric neutrino backgrounds that could mimic the signal are underway using GENIE to determine the viability of detecting oscillations above background levels.
3) If viable, the analysis will consider effects of cosmogenic muons and fast neutrons, with generators for neutron-antineutron interactions in argon under construction.
1) The document discusses multi-messenger astronomy and the detection of electromagnetic counterparts to gravitational waves, neutrinos, and cosmic rays.
2) It provides background on neutrino astronomy, gravitational wave detections from binary neutron star mergers, and kilonova emissions from such mergers.
3) The merger of GW170817 and its association with GRB170817A and kilonova AT2017gfo provided the first direct evidence that neutron star mergers are the origin of short gamma-ray bursts and produce r-process nucleosynthesis.
This document summarizes the EXO (Enriched Xenon Observatory) experiment which aims to search for neutrinoless double beta decay in 136Xe. It describes the EXO-200 detector which contains 200kg of xenon enriched to 80% 136Xe. The detector measures both ionization and scintillation signals to achieve high energy resolution. The document discusses the goals of EXO-200 to search for 0νββ decay, measure the 2νββ half-life, and understand operating a large liquid xenon detector. It also describes plans to identify barium daughters from double beta decays using laser spectroscopy to achieve a background-free experiment.
This document discusses using future full-sky galaxy surveys from space telescopes to probe initial conditions and constrain primordial non-Gaussianity. It proposes launching a space telescope called SPHEREx to conduct a full-sky galaxy spectroscopy survey. This would allow probing the horizon-scale clustering needed to constrain the non-Gaussianity parameter fNL using both the galaxy power spectrum and bispectrum. Current forecasts suggest SPHEREx could achieve an uncertainty of σ(fNL) ~ 0.8 from the power spectrum alone and σ(fNL) ~ 0.2 when also including the bispectrum. However, challenges remain in applying photometric redshift indicators and understanding contributions to the squeezed bispectrum at higher orders.
A. De Simone: The Quest for Dark Matter: Update and NewsSEENET-MTP
The document summarizes the status of dark matter searches from multiple experiments and detection strategies. It discusses evidence that dark matter exists from cosmological measurements and observations of galaxy rotations. It also outlines various dark matter candidate particles and the search strategies used, including direct detection experiments that have seen some positive hints of an annual modulation signal including DAMA/Libra and CoGeNT experiments, but are in tension with null results from Xenon, CDMS, and Edelweiss experiments. Collider searches for dark matter are also discussed.
The document summarizes the MiniCLEAN experiment, which aims to test a liquid argon detector design for dark matter searches. MiniCLEAN has completed construction and is undergoing commissioning. Key points include:
- MiniCLEAN will study light yield, position reconstruction, and background rejection techniques in liquid argon using a 500 kg detector.
- Construction is complete and cooling of the detector is underway. Analyses of LED calibration data and cryopit vacuum data are ongoing.
- Expected performance is a light yield of 6 photons/keV and background rate below 1 event/year in the fiducial volume. This would allow a WIMP sensitivity down to a cross-section of ~10^-10 pb.
The document discusses the history of the discovery of the positron particle through Paul Dirac's equation and experiments by Carl Anderson. It then describes how Feynman diagrams can depict particle interactions over space and time, including electron-positron annihilation. The document proposes the idea of "positronic variables" in software that can change values as they propagate backwards in time. This leads to a discussion of how a multi-state or multiverse model is needed to make sense of variables changing value retroactively.
Igor Pro has been used as a tool to analyze PDV data. The routine is demonstrated here, and the results are compared with other faster techniques. The advantage of the Igor tool is the use of the Wigner Transform which allows for inspection of short time scale features.
This document proposes a mission to send a probe to 1000 AU within 50 years to explore the very local interstellar medium. It would use a gravity assist at Jupiter to eliminate angular momentum, fall into 4 solar radii from the sun for a high-speed propulsion burn, and reach speeds of 20 AU/year. Required technologies include high-Isp propulsion, thermal shields, long-life electronics, and autonomous operation. The proposed concept uses solar thermal propulsion and liquid hydrogen, carried on an Atlas V launch vehicle. The probe would perform in situ measurements of the interstellar medium and escape the heliosphere to study boundary regions.
General Coordinates Network: Harnessing Kafka for Real-Time Open Astronomy at...HostedbyConfluent
Kafka has come to play an essential role in astronomy research. Particularly where black holes and neutron stars are involved, astronomers are increasingly seeking out the “time domain” and want to study explosive transients and variability. In response, observatories are increasingly adopting streaming technologies to send alerts to astronomers and to get their data to their science users in real time. In this talk, we will discuss architectural choices, challenges, and lessons learned in adapting Kafka for open science and open data. Our novel approach to OpenID Connect / OAuth2 in Kafka is designed to securely scale Kafka from access inside a single organization to access by the general public. We will present a case study of the General Coordinates Network (GCN), a public collaboration platform run by NASA for the astronomy research community to share alerts and rapid communications about high-energy, multi-messenger, and transient phenomena. Over the past 30 years, GCN has helped enable many seminal advances by disseminating observations, quantitative near-term predictions, requests for follow-up observations, and observing plans. GCN distributes alerts between space- and ground-based observatories, physics experiments, and thousands of working astronomers around the world.

This document summarizes observations of the exoplanet HD 189733b taken with Chandra and XMM-Newton telescopes. The observations detected X-ray emissions from both the planet-hosting star HD 189733A and its companion star HD 189733B. A transit of HD 189733b in front of its star was detected in soft X-rays, with a transit depth of 6-8% compared to 2.41% in the optical. This is interpreted as evidence for an extended atmosphere around the planet that is opaque to X-rays but transparent at optical wavelengths. The magnetic activity of the companion star HD 189733B was also found to be inconsistent with the activity of the planet-hosting star, possibly due to
The Possible Tidal Demise of Kepler’s First Planetary SystemSérgio Sacani
We present evidence of tidally-driven inspiral in the Kepler-1658 (KOI-4) system, which consists of a giant planet
(1.1RJ, 5.9MJ) orbiting an evolved host star (2.9Re, 1.5Me). Using transit timing measurements from Kepler,
Palomar/WIRC, and TESS, we show that the orbital period of Kepler-1658b appears to be decreasing at a rate = -
+ P 131 22
20 ms yr−1
, corresponding to an infall timescale P P » 2.5 Myr. We consider other explanations for the
data including line-of-sight acceleration and orbital precession, but find them to be implausible. The observed
period derivative implies a tidal quality factor
¢ = ´ -
+ Q 2.50 10 0.62
0.85 4, in good agreement with theoretical
predictions for inertial wave dissipation in subgiant stars. Additionally, while it probably cannot explain the entire
inspiral rate, a small amount of planetary dissipation could naturally explain the deep optical eclipse observed for
the planet via enhanced thermal emission. As the first evolved system with detected inspiral, Kepler-1658 is a new
benchmark for understanding tidal physics at the end of the planetary life cycle
Relativistic Effect in GPS Satellite and Computation of Time Error Vedant Srivastava
The satellites are the integral part of our life. In current scenario, our planet is covered with
thousands of satellites. These satellites covers every aspect of communication like- navigation,
telecommunication, television broadcasting, satellite imaginary, military communications,
Space Station, Earth's weather and climate etc. The small time delay in clock implemented in
satellites cause large delay in propagating signal and it leads to tremendous loss in
communication. This Project basically deals with detection and computation of time error on
satellite clock due to relativistic effect. The time delay is based on both special and general
relativity postulated by Albert Einstein in 1905 and 1915. The detection and computation had
been done by presenting the simulations in the MATLAB environment. The focus of project is
specially GPS satellites due to the need of better and reliable navigation system in current
scenario. Using the Simulink Environment in MATLAB a P code and C/A code have generated
and tested. These code contains timing signal and synchronization signal for GPS satellites.
Synchronizing time with precise time calculation on GPS receivers, system simulation in
MATLAB from GPS satellite transmitter to receiver will be discussed here. The atomic clock
is also discussed here which is used to measure the time delay with high level of precision
(around 10 nano-second) in satellites. Satellite Tool Kit (STK) Software a package
from Analytical Graphics, Inc. is also used in the project to model the satellite and its orbit
around the planet earth. It provides very high graphics simulation and modelling. It allows
engineers and scientists to perform complex analyses of all the physical parameters necessary
for satellite designing and communication.

A magnetar-powered X-ray transient as the aftermath of a binary neutron-star ...Sérgio Sacani
Mergers of neutron stars are known to be associated with short γ-ray
bursts1–4
. If the neutron-star equation of state is sufficiently stiff
(that is, the pressure increases sharply as the density increases), at
least some such mergers will leave behind a supramassive or even a
stable neutron star that spins rapidly with a strong magnetic field5–8
(that is, a magnetar). Such a magnetar signature may have been
observed in the form of the X-ray plateau that follows up to half
of observed short γ-ray bursts9,10. However, it has been expected
that some X-ray transients powered by binary neutron-star mergers
may not be associated with a short γ-ray burst11,12. A fast X-ray
transient (CDF-S XT1) was recently found to be associated with a
faint host galaxy, the redshift of which is unknown13. Its X-ray and
host-galaxy properties allow several possible explanations including
a short γ-ray burst seen off-axis, a low-luminosity γ-ray burst at
high redshift, or a tidal disruption event involving an intermediatemass black hole and a white dwarf13. Here we report a second X-ray
transient, CDF-S XT2, that is associated with a galaxy at redshift
z = 0.738 (ref. 14). The measured light curve is fully consistent with
the X-ray transient being powered by a millisecond magnetar. More
intriguingly, CDF-S XT2 lies in the outskirts of its star-forming host
galaxy with a moderate offset from the galaxy centre, as short γ-ray
bursts often do15,16. The estimated event-rate density of similar
X-ray transients, when corrected to the local value, is consistent
with the event-rate density of binary neutron-star mergers that is
robustly inferred from the detection of the gravitational-wave event

KIC 9832227: Using Vulcan Data to Negate the 2022 Red Nova Merger PredictionSérgio Sacani
KIC 9832227 is a contact binary whose 11 hr orbital period is rapidly changing. Based on the apparent exponential decay of its period, the two stars were predicted to merge in early 2022 resulting in a rare red nova outburst. Fortunately KIC 9832227 was observed in 2003 as part of the NASA Ames pre-Kepler Vulcan Project to search for transiting exoplanets. We find that the Vulcan timing measurement does not agree with the previous exponential decay model. This led us to re- evaluate the other early epoch non-Kepler data sets, the Northern Sky Variability Survey (NSVS) and Wide Angle Search for Planets (WASP) survey. We find that the WASP times are in good agreement with the previous prediction, but the NSVS eclipse time differs by nearly an hour. The very large disagreement of the Vulcan and NSVS eclipse times with an exponentially decaying model forces us to reject the merger hypothesis. Although period variations are common in contact binaries, the physical cause of the period changes in KIC 9832227 remains unexplained; a third star scenario is unlikely. This study shows the data collected by the Vulcan photometer to be extremely valuable for extending the baseline for measurements of variable stars in the Kepler field.
This document provides a multiwavelength summary of GRB 130427A, one of the brightest gamma-ray bursts ever detected. It was observed across the electromagnetic spectrum from gamma-rays to radio wavelengths. Key points:
1) GRB 130427A had an extremely high luminosity and energy release, similar to the most powerful high-redshift bursts.
2) Follow-up observations detected associated supernova SN 2013cq, showing that very energetic bursts can still be accompanied by supernovae.
3) Light curves at X-ray, optical, and ultraviolet wavelengths show evidence for a jet break approximately 37 kiloseconds after the burst.
4) Standard synchrotron shock models
Propagation of highly_efficient_star_formation_in_ngc7000Sérgio Sacani
This document summarizes a study of star formation in molecular clouds near the H II region NGC 7000. The authors surveyed NH3 and H2O maser emission toward the molecular cloud L935 located near NGC 7000. They identified five dense molecular clumps based on NH3 emission, which have similar gas temperatures but different levels of star formation activity. One clump located near the boundary of the H II region has a high star formation efficiency of 36-62%, suggesting triggered star formation due to its interaction with the expanding H II region.
The Palomar Transient Factory (PTF) uses the 48-inch Samuel Oschin Telescope at Palomar Observatory to discover transients and variables in the sky. It aims to study extragalactic and galactic phenomena such as supernovae, tidal disruption events, cataclysmic variables, and structures in the Milky Way. The PTF uses a wide-field imager to discover objects and then coordinates follow-up with spectrographs on the Palomar 200-inch and other telescopes. It has discovered over 2,000 supernovae and published numerous science papers. The Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) will improve on the PTF with a larger field of view
Stars and gas_in_the_very_large_interacting_galaxy_ngc6872Sérgio Sacani
This document summarizes observations of stars and gas in the interacting galaxy NGC 6872 using radio telescope data and numerical simulations. It finds:
1) NGC 6872 contains 1.4x1010 solar masses of atomic hydrogen gas distributed in an extended rotating disk.
2) Massive gas concentrations of about 109 solar masses are detected at the tips of both tidal tails and in the northern optical arm near a companion galaxy.
3) Simulations reproducing the galaxy's morphology, inner bar, tidal tail extent and thinness support a gravitational interaction scenario with a small nearby companion galaxy.
1) High-dispersion spectroscopy was used to observe the young exoplanet Beta Pictoris b, detecting a blueshifted radial velocity of -15±1.7 km/s and rotational broadening of 25±3 km/s, indicating it spins faster than any planet in the solar system.
2) Beta Pictoris b's high spin velocity is consistent with an extrapolation of the trend of increasing spin velocity with planet mass seen in the solar system.
3) At an estimated age of 11±5 Myr, Beta Pictoris b is expected to cool and shrink over time, which would cause it to spin up further to a rotation velocity of around 40 km/s.
1. The document discusses potential low frequency gravitational wave sources that could be detected by LISA, including galactic white dwarf binaries, massive black hole binaries, and extreme mass ratio inspirals.
2. LISA could detect thousands of massive black hole binaries and provide precise measurements of their parameters like mass and spin, enabling tests of general relativity and learning about black hole formation mechanisms.
3. Extreme mass ratio inspirals where a compact object spirals into a massive black hole could occur at a rate of 10-7 per year in our galaxy, allowing precision cosmology and tests of the no-hair theorem.
Rapid disappearance of a warm dusty circumstellar diskCarlos Bella
- The star TYC 8241 2652 1 was observed to have a factor of 30 decrease in mid-infrared dust emission over less than two years, indicating the rapid disappearance of warm, dusty material orbiting the star.
- Observations before 2009 showed significant mid-infrared excess emission, but 2010 observations and later showed the excess had reduced to barely detectable levels.
- No currently available physical model can satisfactorily explain these rapid changes, which suggest a phase of very rapid evolution of dusty planetary collision ejecta that had not been previously predicted or observed.
Fermi lat observations_of_the_gamma_ray_burst_grb_130427aSérgio Sacani
The observations of gamma-ray burst (GRB) 130427A by the Large Area Telescope aboard the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope provide constraints on the nature of extremely energetic astrophysical sources. GRB 130427A had the largest fluence, highest-energy photon (95 GeV), longest gamma-ray duration (20 hours), and one of the largest isotropic energy releases ever observed from a GRB. Temporal and spectral analyses of GRB 130427A challenge the widely accepted model that the non-thermal high-energy emission in the afterglow phase of GRBs is synchrotron emission radiated by electrons accelerated at an external shock.
The extremely high albedo of LTT 9779 b revealed by CHEOPSSérgio Sacani
Optical secondary eclipse measurements of small planets can provide a wealth of information about the reflective properties
of these worlds, but the measurements are particularly challenging to attain because of their relatively shallow depth. If such signals
can be detected and modeled, however, they can provide planetary albedos, thermal characteristics, and information on absorbers in
the upper atmosphere.
Aims. We aim to detect and characterize the optical secondary eclipse of the planet LTT 9779 b using the CHaracterising ExOPlanet
Satellite (CHEOPS) to measure the planetary albedo and search for the signature of atmospheric condensates.
Methods. We observed ten secondary eclipses of the planet with CHEOPS. We carefully analyzed and detrended the light curves using
three independent methods to perform the final astrophysical detrending and eclipse model fitting of the individual and combined light
curves.
Results. Each of our analysis methods yielded statistically similar results, providing a robust detection of the eclipse of LTT 9779 b
with a depth of 115±24 ppm. This surprisingly large depth provides a geometric albedo for the planet of 0.80+0.10
−0.17, consistent with
estimates of radiative-convective models. This value is similar to that of Venus in our own Solar System. When combining the eclipse
from CHEOPS with the measurements from TESS and Spitzer, our global climate models indicate that LTT 9779 b likely has a super
metal-rich atmosphere, with a lower limit of 400× solar being found, and the presence of silicate clouds. The observations also reveal
hints of optical eclipse depth variability, but these have yet to be confirmed.
Conclusions. The results found here in the optical when combined with those in the near-infrared provide the first steps toward
understanding the atmospheric structure and physical processes of ultrahot Neptune worlds that inhabit the Neptune desert.
This document discusses seismic waves and probing the Earth's interior. It provides examples of seismic wave arrival times that can be used to estimate velocities in different layers. Specifically, it examines arrival times of PcP and ScS phases to calculate mantle velocity, and uses PKiKP and PKIKP times to find velocities in the outer and inner cores. Ray tracing exercises are also presented to further analyze seismic wave propagation and velocities at different depths within the Earth.

The binding of cosmological structures by massless topological defectsSérgio Sacani
Assuming spherical symmetry and weak field, it is shown that if one solves the Poisson equation or the Einstein field
equations sourced by a topological defect, i.e. a singularity of a very specific form, the result is a localized gravitational
field capable of driving flat rotation (i.e. Keplerian circular orbits at a constant speed for all radii) of test masses on a thin
spherical shell without any underlying mass. Moreover, a large-scale structure which exploits this solution by assembling
concentrically a number of such topological defects can establish a flat stellar or galactic rotation curve, and can also deflect
light in the same manner as an equipotential (isothermal) sphere. Thus, the need for dark matter or modified gravity theory is
mitigated, at least in part.
When I was asked to give a companion lecture in support of ‘The Philosophy of Science’ (https://shorturl.at/4pUXz) I decided not to walk through the detail of the many methodologies in order of use. Instead, I chose to employ a long standing, and ongoing, scientific development as an exemplar. And so, I chose the ever evolving story of Thermodynamics as a scientific investigation at its best.
Conducted over a period of >200 years, Thermodynamics R&D, and application, benefitted from the highest levels of professionalism, collaboration, and technical thoroughness. New layers of application, methodology, and practice were made possible by the progressive advance of technology. In turn, this has seen measurement and modelling accuracy continually improved at a micro and macro level.
Perhaps most importantly, Thermodynamics rapidly became a primary tool in the advance of applied science/engineering/technology, spanning micro-tech, to aerospace and cosmology. I can think of no better a story to illustrate the breadth of scientific methodologies and applications at their best.

The use of Nauplii and metanauplii artemia in aquaculture (brine shrimp).pptxMAGOTI ERNEST
Although Artemia has been known to man for centuries, its use as a food for the culture of larval organisms apparently began only in the 1930s, when several investigators found that it made an excellent food for newly hatched fish larvae (Litvinenko et al., 2023). As aquaculture developed in the 1960s and ‘70s, the use of Artemia also became more widespread, due both to its convenience and to its nutritional value for larval organisms (Arenas-Pardo et al., 2024). The fact that Artemia dormant cysts can be stored for long periods in cans, and then used as an off-the-shelf food requiring only 24 h of incubation makes them the most convenient, least labor-intensive, live food available for aquaculture (Sorgeloos & Roubach, 2021). The nutritional value of Artemia, especially for marine organisms, is not constant, but varies both geographically and temporally. During the last decade, however, both the causes of Artemia nutritional variability and methods to improve poorquality Artemia have been identified (Loufi et al., 2024).
Brine shrimp (Artemia spp.) are used in marine aquaculture worldwide. Annually, more than 2,000 metric tons of dry cysts are used for cultivation of fish, crustacean, and shellfish larva. Brine shrimp are important to aquaculture because newly hatched brine shrimp nauplii (larvae) provide a food source for many fish fry (Mozanzadeh et al., 2021). Culture and harvesting of brine shrimp eggs represents another aspect of the aquaculture industry. Nauplii and metanauplii of Artemia, commonly known as brine shrimp, play a crucial role in aquaculture due to their nutritional value and suitability as live feed for many aquatic species, particularly in larval stages (Sorgeloos & Roubach, 2021).

This presentation explores a brief idea about the structural and functional attributes of nucleotides, the structure and function of genetic materials along with the impact of UV rays and pH upon them.
The ability to recreate computational results with minimal effort and actionable metrics provides a solid foundation for scientific research and software development. When people can replicate an analysis at the touch of a button using open-source software, open data, and methods to assess and compare proposals, it significantly eases verification of results, engagement with a diverse range of contributors, and progress. However, we have yet to fully achieve this; there are still many sociotechnical frictions.
Inspired by David Donoho's vision, this talk aims to revisit the three crucial pillars of frictionless reproducibility (data sharing, code sharing, and competitive challenges) with the perspective of deep software variability.
Our observation is that multiple layers — hardware, operating systems, third-party libraries, software versions, input data, compile-time options, and parameters — are subject to variability that exacerbates frictions but is also essential for achieving robust, generalizable results and fostering innovation. I will first review the literature, providing evidence of how the complex variability interactions across these layers affect qualitative and quantitative software properties, thereby complicating the reproduction and replication of scientific studies in various fields.
I will then present some software engineering and AI techniques that can support the strategic exploration of variability spaces. These include the use of abstractions and models (e.g., feature models), sampling strategies (e.g., uniform, random), cost-effective measurements (e.g., incremental build of software configurations), and dimensionality reduction methods (e.g., transfer learning, feature selection, software debloating).
I will finally argue that deep variability is both the problem and solution of frictionless reproducibility, calling the software science community to develop new methods and tools to manage variability and foster reproducibility in software systems.

EWOCS-I: The catalog of X-ray sources in Westerlund 1 from the Extended Weste...Sérgio Sacani
Context. With a mass exceeding several 104 M⊙ and a rich and dense population of massive stars, supermassive young star clusters
represent the most massive star-forming environment that is dominated by the feedback from massive stars and gravitational interactions
among stars.
Aims. In this paper we present the Extended Westerlund 1 and 2 Open Clusters Survey (EWOCS) project, which aims to investigate
the influence of the starburst environment on the formation of stars and planets, and on the evolution of both low and high mass stars.
The primary targets of this project are Westerlund 1 and 2, the closest supermassive star clusters to the Sun.
Methods. The project is based primarily on recent observations conducted with the Chandra and JWST observatories. Specifically,
the Chandra survey of Westerlund 1 consists of 36 new ACIS-I observations, nearly co-pointed, for a total exposure time of 1 Msec.
Additionally, we included 8 archival Chandra/ACIS-S observations. This paper presents the resulting catalog of X-ray sources within
and around Westerlund 1. Sources were detected by combining various existing methods, and photon extraction and source validation
were carried out using the ACIS-Extract software.
Results. The EWOCS X-ray catalog comprises 5963 validated sources out of the 9420 initially provided to ACIS-Extract, reaching a
photon flux threshold of approximately 2 × 10−8 photons cm−2
s
−1
. The X-ray sources exhibit a highly concentrated spatial distribution,
with 1075 sources located within the central 1 arcmin. We have successfully detected X-ray emissions from 126 out of the 166 known
massive stars of the cluster, and we have collected over 71 000 photons from the magnetar CXO J164710.20-455217.
