The document discusses three mysteries: auroras, black holes and cosmic X-rays, and comets. It provides background on each mystery and notes that auroras involve distinct magnetosphere processes, black holes can be studied through polarized X-ray measurements, and comets may have brought water to Earth and studying comet material may reveal secrets about the origins of the universe.
The exoplanet discovery behind the 2019 noble prize in physics explained wonderdome
Last week the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences announced the winners of the 2019 Nobel Prize in Physics. We were overjoyed to find out that this year’s most prestigious scientific award goes to three astronomers, James Peebles, Michel Mayor and Didier Queloz, for their “contributions to our understanding of the evolution of the universe and Earth’s place in the cosmos”. James Peebles will receive half of the prize in recognition of his “theoretical discoveries in physical cosmology”. Another half of the prize will go jointly to the Swiss astronomers Michel Mayor and Didier Queloz “for the discovery of an exoplanet orbiting a solar-type star” the scientists made in 1995.

Earliest Galaxies in the JADES Origins Field: Luminosity Function and Cosmic ...Sérgio Sacani
We characterize the earliest galaxy population in the JADES Origins Field (JOF), the deepest
imaging field observed with JWST. We make use of the ancillary Hubble optical images (5 filters
spanning 0.4−0.9µm) and novel JWST images with 14 filters spanning 0.8−5µm, including 7 mediumband filters, and reaching total exposure times of up to 46 hours per filter. We combine all our data
at > 2.3µm to construct an ultradeep image, reaching as deep as ≈ 31.4 AB mag in the stack and
30.3-31.0 AB mag (5σ, r = 0.1” circular aperture) in individual filters. We measure photometric
redshifts and use robust selection criteria to identify a sample of eight galaxy candidates at redshifts
z = 11.5 − 15. These objects show compact half-light radii of R1/2 ∼ 50 − 200pc, stellar masses of
M⋆ ∼ 107−108M⊙, and star-formation rates of SFR ∼ 0.1−1 M⊙ yr−1
. Our search finds no candidates
at 15 < z < 20, placing upper limits at these redshifts. We develop a forward modeling approach to
infer the properties of the evolving luminosity function without binning in redshift or luminosity that
marginalizes over the photometric redshift uncertainty of our candidate galaxies and incorporates the
impact of non-detections. We find a z = 12 luminosity function in good agreement with prior results,
and that the luminosity function normalization and UV luminosity density decline by a factor of ∼ 2.5
from z = 12 to z = 14. We discuss the possible implications of our results in the context of theoretical
models for evolution of the dark matter halo mass function.

Richard's aventures in two entangled wonderlandsRichard Gill
Since the loophole-free Bell experiments of 2020 and the Nobel prizes in physics of 2022, critics of Bell's work have retreated to the fortress of super-determinism. Now, super-determinism is a derogatory word - it just means "determinism". Palmer, Hance and Hossenfelder argue that quantum mechanics and determinism are not incompatible, using a sophisticated mathematical construction based on a subtle thinning of allowed states and measurements in quantum mechanics, such that what is left appears to make Bell's argument fail, without altering the empirical predictions of quantum mechanics. I think however that it is a smoke screen, and the slogan "lost in math" comes to my mind. I will discuss some other recent disproofs of Bell's theorem using the language of causality based on causal graphs. Causal thinking is also central to law and justice. I will mention surprising connections to my work on serial killer nurse cases, in particular the Dutch case of Lucia de Berk and the current UK case of Lucy Letby.

3. The Mystery of Auroras
If you are standing in Alaska, Canada, or the
Northern United States on a clear dark night and
looking up into the sky, you may see a bright
greenish-white band of light that stretches
across the sky from the East to the West. You
are seeing the Northern Lights, also known as
the Aurora Borealis. These types of lights also
occur near the South Pole, where they are known
as the Southern Lights and Aurora Australis.
4. The Mystery of Auroras
On a lucky night, you may watch this auroral
band continue to brighten as it moves toward
the South. Then, within minutes, you may see the
band of light break into many bands of light
some of which will move back overhead and to
the North, dancing rapidly and turning red,
purple, and white. If you've been lucky to see
this sequence of events, you have witnessed the
beginning phases of an auroral substorm.
5. The Mystery of AurorasThe Mystery of AurorasThe Mystery of Auroras
When we see these dancing auroral lights
evolve suddenly from a slowly moving auroral arc
across the sky, we know that there are two distinct
processes occurring in Earth's magnetosphere.
But which one triggered the abrupt
change from a calm aurora to a dancing
aurora?

7. The Study of Black Holes, Cosmic
X-ray Mysteries
NASA has selected a science mission that will allow astronomers
to explore, for the first time, the hidden details of some of the
most extreme and exotic astronomical objects, such as stellar and
supermassive black holes, neutron stars and pulsars.
Objects such as black holes can heat surrounding gases to
more than a million degrees. The high-energy X-ray radiation
from this gas can be polarized – vibrating in a particular
direction. The Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE)
mission will fly three space telescopes with cameras capable of
measuring the polarization of these cosmic X-rays, allowing
scientists to answer fundamental questions about these
turbulent and extreme environments where gravitational,
electric and magnetic fields are at their limits.
8. The Study of Black Holes, Cosmic
X-ray Mysteries
“We cannot directly image what’s going on near objects like
black holes and neutron stars, but studying the polarization of X-
rays emitted from their surrounding environments reveals the
physics of these enigmatic objects,” said Paul Hertz,
astrophysics division director for the Science Mission Directorate at
NASA Headquarters in Washington. “NASA has a great history of
launching observatories in the Astrophysics Explorers Program
with new and unique observational capabilities. IXPE will open a
new window on the universe for astronomers to peer through.
Today, we can only guess what we will find.”

10. Exploring the Mysteries of Comets
Comets are formed of dust and icy gases. They travel
highly elliptical orbits that bring them close to the Sun,
then swing them back, deep into space. Usually the farthest
point of their journey is beyond the distance of Pluto's orbit.
Close to the heat of the Sun, comets develop tails
millions-of-miles in length, some creating easily viewable
spectacles as they visit the vicinity of Earth.
11. Exploring the Mysteries of Comets
In centuries past, comets seemed to appear suddenly,
generating excessive reactions from people who did not
understand them. They were blamed for everything from the
death of kings to the demise of great empires to the creation of
plagues. The passage of Halley's Comet in 1066, for example,
appeared to foretell of the English loss at the Battle of Hastings.
More recently, during its 1910 passage, the infant science of
spectroscopy discovered toxic gases in Halley's Comet. Fearing
that the Earth would pass through the poisonous tail, charlatans
sold comet insurance policies and homeopathic medicines for the
coming "comet fever."
12. Exploring the Mysteries of Comets
To probe the mysteries of comets, the NASA
Stardust spacecraft will fly close to a comet
and, for the first time ever, bring material back to Earth for analysis
by scientists worldwide. This cometary material, it is
hoped, will help unlock some of the secrets of these small
bodies that are often described as "dirty ice balls" hurling through
space. By learning something about these little bits of a comet,
scientists hope it may be possible to discover more far reaching
secrets about the materials that make up our universe
and possibly more about its origins. A big question that scientists
hope to better answer is whether comets brought water to
the Earth.
