The complex interplay of AGN jet-inflated bubbles and the intracluster medium

description: We use SWIFT, a smoothed particle hydrodynamics code, to simulate the evolution of bubbles inflated by active galactic nuclei (AGN) jets, as well as their interactions with the ambient intracluster medium (ICM). These jets inflate lobes that turn into bubbles after the jets are turned off (at $t=50$ Myr). Almost all of the energy injected into the jets is transferred to the ICM very quickly after they are turned off, with roughly $70$ per cent of it in thermal form and the rest in kinetic. At late times ($t>500$ Myr) we find the following: 1) the bubbles draw out trailing filaments of low-entropy gas, similar to those recently observed, 2) the action of buoyancy and the uplift of the filaments dominates the energetics of both the bubbles and the ICM and 3) almost all of the originally injected energy is in the form of gravitational potential energy, with the bubbles containing $15$ per cent of it, and the rest contained in the ICM. These findings indicate that feedback proceeds mainly through the displacement of gas to larger radii. We find that the uplift of these filaments permanently changes the thermodynamic properties of the ICM by reducing the central density and increasing the central temperature (within $30$ kpc). We propose that jet feedback proceeds not only through the heating of the ICM (which can delay cooling), but also through the uplift-related reduction of the central gas density. The latter also delays cooling, on top of reducing the amount of gas available to cool.

description: Discovery of a Higgs boson and precise measurements of its properties open a new window to test physics beyond the standard model. Models with Universal Extra Dimensions are not exception. Kaluza-Klein excitations of the standard model particles contribute to the production and decay of the Higgs boson. In particular, the parameters associated with third generation quarks are constrained by Higgs data, which are relatively insensitive to other searches often involving light quarks and leptons. We investigate implications of the 126 GeV Higgs in Next-to-Minimal Universal Extra Dimensions, and show that boundary terms and bulk masses allow a lower compactification scale as compared to in Minimal Universal Extra Dimensions.

description: Pulsar Wind Nebulae (PWNe), structures powered by energetic pulsars, are known for their detection across the entire electromagnetic spectrum, with diverse morphologies and spectral behaviour between these bands. The temporal evolution of the morphology and spectrum of a PWN depends strongly on the properties of the associated neutron star, the relativistic outflow powered by its rotational energy, and surrounding medium, and thereby can vary markedly between objects. Due the continuous, but decreasing, injection of electrons and positrons into the PWN by the pulsar, the brightness and spectral variation within and amongst their wind nebulae reflect the magnetic field structure and particle transport within the PWN. This can include complex motions such as reverse flows or turbulence due to shock interactions and disruption to the nebula. During the last stage of the PWN's evolution, when the neutron star moves supersonically with respect to its environment, the escape of accelerated particles into the surrounding medium creates an extensive halo evident in very-high-energy gamma-rays. This chapter describes some of the identifying characteristics and key aspects of pulsar wind nebulae through their several evolutionary stages.

description: In this work, which is the first of a series to prepare a cosmological parameter analysis with third-order cosmic shear statistics, we model both the shear three-point correlation functions $Γ^{(i)}$ and the third-order aperture statistics $\langle\mathcal{M}_\mathrm{ap}^3\rangle$ from the BiHalofit bispectrum model and validate these statistics with a series of N-body simulations. We then investigate how to bin the shear three-point correlation functions to achieve an unbiased estimate for third-order aperture statistics in real data. Finally, we perform a cosmological parameter analysis on KiDS1000-like mock data with second- and third-order statistics. We recover all cosmological parameters with very little bias. Furthermore, we find that a joint analysis almost doubles the constraining power on $S_8$ and increases the figure-of-merit in the $Ω_\mathrm{m}$-$σ_8$ plane by a factor of 5.9 with respect to an analysis with only second-order shear statistics. Our modelling pipeline is publicly available at https://github.com/sheydenreich/threepoint/releases/.

description: This paper reports on a surface impedance measurement of a niobium titanium superconducting radio frequency (SRF) cavity in a magnetic field (up to $10\,{\rm T}$). A novel method is employed to decompose the surface resistance contributions of the cylindrical cavity end caps and walls using measurements from multiple $TM$ cavity modes. The results confirm that quality factor degradation of a NbTi SRF cavity in a high magnetic field is primarily from surfaces perpendicular to the field (the cavity end caps), while parallel surface resistances (the walls) remain relatively constant. This result is encouraging for applications needing high Q cavities in strong magnetic fields, such as the Axion Dark Matter eXperiment (ADMX), because it opens the possibility of hybrid SRF cavity construction to replace conventional copper cavities.

description: We present Mezzo, a typed programming language of ML lineage. Mezzo is equipped with a novel static discipline of duplicable and affine permissions, which controls aliasing and ownership. This rules out certain mistakes, including representation exposure and data races, and enables new idioms, such as gradual initialization, memory re-use, and (type)state changes. Although the core static discipline disallows sharing a mutable data structure, Mezzo offers several ways of working around this restriction, including a novel dynamic ownership control mechanism which we dub "adoption and abandon".

description: The van der Waals interaction between a lipid membrane and a substrate covered by a graphene sheet is investigated using the Lifshitz theory. The reflection coefficients are obtained for a layered planar system submerged in water. The dielectric response properties of the involved materials are also specified and discussed. Our calculations show that a graphene covered substrate can repel the biological membrane in water. This is attributed to the significant changes in the response properties of the system due to the monolayer graphene. It is also found that the van der Waals interaction is mostly dominated by the presence of graphene, while the role of the particular substrate is secondary.

description: The low-energy gamma-ray domain is an important window for the study of the high energy Universe. Here matter can be observed in extreme physical conditions and during powerful explosive events. However, observing gamma-rays from faint sources is extremely challenging with current instrumentation. With techniques used at present collecting more signal requires larger detectors, leading to an increase in instrumental background. For the leap in sensitivity that is required for future gamma-ray missions use must be made of flux concentrating telescopes. Fortunately, gamma-ray optics such as Laue or Fresnel lenses, based on diffraction, make this possible. Laue lenses work with moderate focal lengths (tens to a few hundreds of metres), but provide only rudimentary imaging capabilities. On the other hand, Fresnel lenses offer extremely good imaging, but with a very small field of view and a requirement for focal lengths $\sim$10$^8$ m. This chapter presents the basic concepts of these optics and describes their working principles, their main properties and some feasibility studies already conducted.

description: Strong long-distance spin-magnon coupling is essential for solid-state quantum information processing and single qubit manipulation. Here, we propose an approach to realize strong spin-magnon coupling in a hybrid optomechanical cavity-spin-magnon system, where the optomechanical system, consisting of two cavities coupled to a common high-frequency mechanical resonator, acts as quantum interface. By eliminating the mechanical mode, a position-position coupling and two-mode squeezing of two cavities are induced. In the squeezing presentation, the spin-photon, magnon-photon and photon-photon coupling strengths are exponentially amplified, thus lower- and upper-branch polaritons (LBP and UBP) are generated by strongly coupled squeezed modes of two cavities. Utilizing the critical property of the LBP, the coupling between the spin qubit (magnon) and LBP is greatly enhanced, while the coupling between the spin qubit (magnon) and UBP is fully suppressed. In the dispersive regime, strong and tunable spin-magnon coupling is induced by the virtual LBP, allowing quantum state exchange between them. Our proposal provides a promising platform to construct magnon-based hybrid systems and realize solid-state quantum information processing with optomechanical interfaces.

Pavlinov and Rossolimo (1987), however, recognized M. hyperboreus , noting that the two are clearly morphologically distinct and that material in published studies probably omitted true hyperboreus. Meier (1983) recognized the two species as closely related and noted that no study of variability within middendorffi had been made, and more importantly, that insufficient material from the type locality had been analyzed. Vorontsov and Lyapunova (1976) considered M. hyperboreus and M. middendorffi to be chromosomally closely related to North American M. miurus.

description: Eutrophication is a key human-induced stressor in streams and often a consequence of intensified land use. We characterised how population density influences dissolved nutrients and its ratio in Patagonian Andean streams during the baseflow hydrological period. Research was conducted at stream Gutiérrez drainage basin (41°09′36.18″S 71°24′37.19″W) located in Nahuel Huapi National Park, Argentina. A fraction of this basin corresponds to the city of San Carlos de Bariloche, where households use on-site wastewater treatment systems (OWTS) not connected to the city’s main sewer system. Our results reflect a positive relationship between population density and export of nitrate–nitrogen and soluble reactive phosphorus. Nitrates leaching from OWTS into groundwater were incorporated into the stream ecosystem, but phosphorus seemed to be retained by the soils. The increase in N:P ratio along with population density suggests the presence of additional N sources beyond OWTS. Our results are relevant in N-limited ecosystems such as those from the Northwest-Patagonian region. As a consequence, these aquatic systems are liable to eutrophication by increased demographic pressure. Thus, it would be necessary to consider and evaluate the use of alternative OWTS, with higher denitrification capacity, to reduce release of nitrates into groundwater.

description: The possibility of thermal excitation of intrinsic localized modes (ILMs) arising from anharmonicity in ionic perfect crystals is studied numerically for realistic model systems in one and three dimensions. Implications are discussed for an interesting high-temperature feature seen in earlier inelastic neutron scattering experiments on single crystal NaI. The general conclusion is that ILM formation energies are far too large for thermal excitation of ILMs to account for the observed feature in a pure crystal.

DISTRIBUTION: E Turkey, N Syria, Lebanon, Israel, W Jordan, Cyrenaica in Libya, N Iraq, W and N Iran, and Kopet Dag Mtns in Turkmenistan. SYNONYMS: mustersi, paradoxus, mystacinus. COMMENTS: Subgenus Microtus, socialis species group sensu Zagorodnyuk (1990). Pavlinov and Rossolimo (1987) listed M. irani in the subgenus Sumeriomys, a name not recognized by Zagorodnyuk (1990). Corbet (1978c) and Harrison and Bates (1991) included irani in M. socialis, but the two are distinct species as documented by Morlok (1978) and Kock and Nader (1983), who also noted that most records of M. guentheri from Syria, Lebanon, and Israel are M. irani and that philistinus may be an older name for irani. The isolated Lybian population was reviewed, under mustersi, by Ranck (1968). The status of paradoxus (from Kopet Dag Mtns) deserves reevaluation: Pavlinov and Rossolimo (1987) treated it as a synonym of irani but Zagorodnyuk (1990) maintained it as distinct.

The Hierarchical Parity Model

description: Hierarchical spin-glasses are Ising spin models defined by recursively coupling together two equally-sized sub-systems. In this work a new hierarchical spin system is introduced wherein the sub-systems are recursively coupled together through the parity of their spins. Exact Renormalization Group recursion equations for many correlators may be derived for this Hierarchical Parity Model, even for completely general couplings. Moreover, the model is computationally tractable in that $O(N)$ algorithms exist for the computation of the partition function and ground state energy. In the special case where the couplings are all equal, the model is shown to exhibit a thermal phase transition.

description: Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) have been identified as a source of microplastics, an emerging contaminant class of increasing concern, to the environment. Three WWTPs in the Canterbury region, New Zealand, were sampled bi-monthly from winter (June) to summer (December), to assess the variability of the abundance, morphology and polymer type of microplastics present over time. Microplastics were isolated from effluent via wet-sieving (300 μm and 1 mm) and wet peroxide oxidation (WPO) digest, and the polymer types determined using micro-Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (μ-FTIR). Confirmed microplastics were detected at an average concentration of 1.3 ± 0.6 particles/L in effluent, with fragments comprising 58% of all morphotypes. Dominant polymer types detected were polyester, polyethylene, and polypropylene (26%, 22%, and 15%, respectively). The results of this study were comparable with those reported in international studies. An estimated 2.4 × 105 microplastics enter the receiving coastal environment daily from the discharge of effluent from the three WWTPs studied. No trends in microplastic concentration, morphotype and polymer type were observed in effluent samples from each WWTP, suggesting a common and continual source of microplastics into WWTPs. Further sampling is required to identify the factors that determine the variability of microplastics in WWTP influents and effluents.

description: The Jovian system is a treasure trove of X-ray sources: diverse and dynamic atmospheric and auroral emissions, diffuse radiation belt and Io torus emissions, and plasma-surface interactions with Jupiter's moons. The system is a rich natural laboratory for astronomical X-rays with each region showcasing its own X-ray production processes: scattering and fluorescence of solar corona emissions; charge exchange emissions from energetic ions; Inverse-Compton, thermal and non-thermal bremsstrahlung emissions from relativistic electrons; and fingerprint fluorescence lines indicative of elemental composition and the potential for life on the Galilean satellites. For the high energy astrophysics domain, perhaps Jupiter's greatest attribute is the opportunity to connect observed X-ray emissions with in-situ plasma and magnetic field measurements of the precise physical processes that lead to them - irreplaceable ground truths for systems that cannot be visited in-situ. Such simultaneous studies have revealed that Jupiter's spectacular soft X-ray flares and pulsations are produced by wave-particle interactions, while the bremsstrahlung aurorae vary with magnetodisk reconnection and dipolarisation. While many remote signatures remain to be linked with their source processes, the future is bright, with synergistic Chandra, NuSTAR, XMM-Newton and Juno in-situ measurements continuing to provide revolutionary insights in the coming years, while JUICE and Europa missions with ATHENA and possibly Lynx will enable a new legacy. However, to truly characterise some emissions (e.g. mapping Galilean satellite elemental composition) in-situ X-ray instrumentation is a necessity. Recent advances enable compact, lightweight, X-ray instrumentation perfectly suited for Jupiter science. The chapter closes by reviewing feasible, low-risk concepts that would paradigm-shift our understanding of the system.

description: Measurement incompatibility is one of the cornerstones of quantum theory. This phenomenon appears in many forms, of which the concept of non-joint measurability has received considerable attention in the recent years. In order to characterise this non-classical phenomenon, various analytical and numerical methods have been developed. The analytical approaches have mostly concentrated on the qubit case, as well as to scenarios involving sets of measurements with symmetries, such as position and momentum or sets of mutually unbiased bases. The numerical methods can, in principle, decide any finite-dimensional and discrete joint measurability problem, but they naturally have practical limitations in terms of computational power. These methods exclusively start from a given set of measurements and ask whether the set possesses incompatibility. Here, we take a complementary approach by asking which measurements are compatible with a given measurement. It turns out, that this question can be answered in full generality through a minimal Naimark dilation of the given measurement: the set of interest is exactly those measurements that have a block-diagonal representation in such dilation. We demonstrate the use of the technique through various qubit examples, leading to an alternative characterisation of all compatible pairs of binary qubit measurements, which retrieves the celebrated Busch criterion. We further apply the technique to special examples of trinary and continuous qubit measurements.

description: Microtus irene (Thomas, 1911). Abstr. Proc. Zool. Soc. London, 1911 (90):5. TYPE LOCALITY: China, Sichuan, Tatsienlu. DISTRIBUTION: High mtns in N Burma and the Chinese provinces of E Xizang (Feng et al., 1986), Yunnan, Sichuan, and S Gansu (see Niethammer, 1970). SYNONYMS: forresti, oniscus. COMMENTS: Subgenus Neodon. Ellerman and Morrison-Scott (1951) listed irene as a valid species, but Corbet (1978c) allocated it to Pitymys sikimensis, citing Gruber's (1969) "detailed study" as substantiation. However, the union of irene and sikimensis is insufficiently demonstated by the data of Gruber, who even summarized the trenchant differences in body size and molar occlusal patterns that clearly distinguish the two. Furthermore, Feng et al. (1986) recorded irene from E Tibet and sikimensis from just west of that locality, without evidence of overlap in the diagnostic features of each species.

description: In the current multi-messenger astronomy era, it is important that information about joint gravitational wave (GW) and electromagnetic (EM) observations through short gamma-ray burst (sGRBs) remains easily accessible. The possibility for non-experts to execute quick computations of joint GW-sGRB detections should be facilitated. We construct a sGRB model and add this to the framework of the previously-built Gravitational Wave Universe Toolbox. We provide expected joint GW-sGRB detection rates for different combinations of GW detectors and high-energy (HE) instruments. We employ and adapt a generic GRB model to create a top-hat jet model suitable for the Toolbox. We simulate a population of binary neutron stars (BNSs) observed by a user-specified GW detector. Our model predicts the properties of a resulting sGRB, as well as its detectability. We report predicted joint detection rates for combinations of GW detectors with HE instruments. Our findings stress the significance of the impact of the Einstein Telescope (ET); ET will observe BNSs at such a rate that the vast majority of detected sGRBs will have an observed GW counterpart. Additionally, given the limited LIGO horizon, a search for sub-threshold GW signals at higher redshifts using sGRB information from HE detectors has the potential to be very successful. Equivalently, during the ET era, GW data can assist in finding sub-threshold sGRBs, potentially increasing e.g. the number of joint ET-Fermi/GBM observations by $\sim$270%. Lastly, we find that our top-hat jet model underestimates the number of joint detections that include an off-axis sGRB. We correct for this with a second, wider and weaker jet component. We find that the majority of joint detections during the current era will include an off-axis sGRB, making GRB170817A not as unlikely as one would think. In the ET era, most joint detections will contain an on-axis sGRB.

description: We exploit the long-ranged elastic fields inherent to confined nematic liquid crystals to assemble colloidal particles trapped at the liquid crystal interface into reconfigurable structures with complex symmetries and packings. Spherical colloids with homeotropic anchoring trapped at the interface between air and the nematic liquid crystal 5CB create quadrupolar distortions in the director field causing particles to repel and consequently form close-packed assemblies with a triangular habit. Here we report on complex, open structures organized via interactions with defects in the bulk. Specifically, by confining the nematic liquid crystal in an array of microposts with homeotropic anchoring conditions, we cause defect rings to form at well-defined locations in the bulk of the sample. These defects source elastic deformations that direct the assembly of the interfacially-trapped colloids into ring-like assemblies, which recapitulate the defect geometry even when the microposts are completely immersed in the nematic. When the surface density of the colloids is high, they form a ring near the defect and a hexagonal lattice far from it. Since topographically complex substrates are easily fabricated and liquid crystal defects are readily reconfigured, this work lays the foundation for a new, robust mechanism to dynamically direct assembly over large areas by controlling surface anchoring and associated bulk defect structure.

description: We characterize the properties of extreme ultraviolet (EUV) light source plasmas driven by laser wavelengths in the $λ_{\mathrm{laser}} = 1.064 - 10.6 $ $μ$m range. Detailed numerical simulations of laser-irradiated spherical tin microdroplet targets reveal a strong laser-wavelength dependence on laser light absorptivity and the conversion efficiency of generating EUV radiation. Radiative losses are found to dominate the power balance for all laser wavelengths, and a clear shift from kinetic to in-band radiative losses with increasing laser wavelength is identified. We find that the existence of maximum conversion efficiency, near $ λ_{\mathrm{laser}} = 4 $ $μ$m, originates from the interplay between the optical depths of the laser light and the in-band EUV photons for this specific target geometry.

description: In the thermoelastic regime, photoacoustic sensing of optical absorption relies on conversion from light to acoustic energy via the coefficient of thermal expansion β. In this work, we confront confront experimental measurements to theoretical predictions of nonlinear photoacoustic generation based on the dynamic variation of β(T) during the optical excitation of absorbers in aqueous solution. The photoacoustic generation from solutions of organic dye and gold nanospheres (with same optical densities), illuminated with 532 nm nanosecond pulses, was detected using a high frequency ultrasound transducer (center frequency 20 MHz). Photoacoustic emission was observed with gold nanospheres at low fluence (a few mJ/cm2) for an equilibrium temperature around 4°C, where the linear photoacoustic effect in water vanishes, highlighting the nonlinear emission from the solution of nanospheres. Under the same condition, no emission was observed with the absorbing organic dye. At a fixed fluence of 5 mJ/cm2, the photoacoustic amplitude was studied as a function of the equilibrium temperature from 2°C to 20°C. While the photoacoustic amplitude from the organic dye followed β(T) in water and vanished around 4°C, the photoacoustic amplitude from the gold nanospheres remained significant over the whole temperature range. These experimental results are shown to be in qualitative agreement with theoretical calculations based on the nanoscale and nanosecond transient changes of the coefficient of thermal expansion of water around the gold nanospheres. Our results suggest that in the context of high frequency photoacoustic imaging, nanoparticles may be discriminated from molecular absorbers based on either the nonlinear fluence-dependence or the equilibrium temperature-dependence of the photoacoustic amplitude.

description: Despite the absence of cuttlefish in Aotearoa New Zealand waters, cuttlebones and cuttlebone fragments have been reported and collected in the country since the early twentieth century. Not all could be reliably identified. As such, here we review all cuttlebone material collected from New Zealand shores available in natural history collections, as well as literature and online records. Species were identified, through morphological features and, for the first time, DNA barcoding, as: the Australian endemic Sepia apama Gray, 1849 (and possibly S. grahami A. Reid, 2001) and the widely distributed Indo-Pacific S. latimanus Quoy & Gaimard, 1832. In addition, the predation/scavenging marks (praedichnia) left on the cuttlebones by other organisms are assigned to four major types and attributed to albatrosses, sharks, and dolphins. The successful extraction of DNA from cuttlebones has potential future applications, including the examination of type specimens, since species were described based only on cuttlebones.
