Amplifying Resonant Repulsion with Inflated Young Planets, Overlooked Inner Planets, and Nonzero Initial Δ by Yuancheng Xu, Fei Dai

“…Most multiplanet systems around mature (∼5 Gyr old) host stars are nonresonant. Even the near-resonant planet pairs still display 1%–2% positive deviation from perfect period commensurabilities (Δ) near first-order mean motion resonances (MMRs). …”

SPACE AND TIME EXPRESSIONS IN THE ROMANIAN LINGUISTIC IMAGINARY by Maria-Zoica Eugenia BALABAN

“…We will try to demonstrate that in the Romanian linguistic imaginary there is a vertical spatiality (in terms of an up-down metaphor), which belongs to the pastoral world, in which the archaic man raises his eyes to the sky in a perfect communion with the Divinity (the expressions with sky, earth, sun, moon, stars, etc.). As far as it concerns time, we will inventory those expressions and sayings that reflect, in the collective mind, the time perception between ephemerality and eternity. …”

Introducing the Condor Array Telescope. V. Deep Broad- and Narrowband Imaging Observations of the M81 Group by Kenneth M. Lanzetta, Stefan Gromoll, Michael M. Shara, David Valls-Gabaud, Frederick M. Walter, John K. Webb

“…We subtracted the luminance image from the narrowband images to leave, more or less, only line emission in the difference images, and we masked regions of the resulting images around stars at an isophotal limit. The difference images exhibit extensive extended structures of ionized gas in the direction of the M81 Group, from known galaxies of the M81 Group, clouds of gas, filamentary structures, and apparent or possible bubbles or shells. …”

Computer Vision Techniques Demonstrate Robust Orientation Measurement of the Milky Way Despite Image Motion by Yiting Tao, Asanka Perera, Samuel Teague, Timothy McIntyre, Eric Warrant, Javaan Chahl

“…We speculate that the use of the MW as an orientation cue has evolved because, unlike individual stars, it is resilient to motion blur caused by locomotion.…”

Light Curves of Type IIP Supernovae from Neutrino-driven Explosions of Red Supergiants Obtained by a Semianalytic Approach by Shuai Zha, Bernhard Müller, Amy Weir, Alexander Heger

“…Type IIP supernovae (SNe IIP) mark the explosive death of red supergiants (RSGs), evolved massive stars with an extended hydrogen envelope. They are the most common supernova type and allow for the benchmarking of supernova explosion models by statistical comparison to observed population properties rather than by comparing individual models and events. …”

“…We also compare our limits to short-timescale outbursts, similar to those expected for Type IIn SN progenitor stars or the Type II SN 2020tlf, and rule out outburst ejecta masses of >0.021 M _⊙ , much lower than the inferred mass of circumstellar matter around SN 2023ixf in the literature. …”

In the Trenches of the Solar–Stellar Connection. VII. Wilson–Bappu 2022 by Thomas Ayres

“…The final sample is 300 stars (301 including the Sun). The high cosmic abundance of magnesium allowed Mg ii k emissions to be recovered in the warmer F-types, at the edge of convection and chromospheric activity, and in low-activity Sunlike dwarfs—situations in which Ca ii K might be too weak to measure. …”

Fast Radio Bursts with Narrow Beaming Angles Can Escape from Magnetar Magnetospheres by Yu-Chen Huang, Zi-Gao Dai

“…Growing evidence indicates that at least some FRBs originate from magnetars and are likely generated within the magnetospheres of these highly magnetized neutron stars. However, a recent study suggested that FRBs originating from magnetar magnetospheres would be scattered by magnetospheric electron–positron pair plasma, making it impossible for them to escape successfully. …”

“…We systematically test the performance of supervised models (support vector machine, random forest, extreme gradient boosting, artificial neural network, convolutional neural network) and unsupervised ones (deep embedding clustering) when applied to the problem of classifying/clustering sources as stars, galaxies, or AGNs. We obtained classification accuracy of 97.5% for supervised models and clustering accuracy of 96.0% for unsupervised ones and 95.0% with a classic approach for a blinded data set. …”
