description: We report the detection of an infrared selected transient which has lasted at least 5 years, first identified by a large mid-infrared and optical outburst from a faint X-ray source detected with the Chandra X-ray Observatory. In this paper we rule out several scenarios for the cause of this outburst, including a classical nova, a luminous red nova, AGN flaring, a stellar merger, and intermediate luminosity optical transients, and interpret this transient as the result of a Young Stellar Object (YSO) of at least solar mass accreting material from the remains of the dusty envelope from which it formed, in isolation from either a dense complex of cold gas or massive star formation. This object does not fit neatly into other existing categories of large outbursts of YSOs (FU Orionis types) which may be a result of the object's mass, age, and environment. It is also possible that this object is a new type of transient unrelated to YSOs.

description: The increasing number and complexity of planetary exploration space missions require new tools to access, visualize and analyse data to improve their scientific return. ASI Science Data Center (ASDC) addresses this request with the web-tool MATISSE (Multi-purpose Advanced Tool for the Instruments of the Solar System Exploration), allowing the visualization of single observation or real-time computed high-order products, directly projected on the three-dimensional model of the selected target body. Using MATISSE it will be no longer needed to download huge quantity of data or to write down a specific code for every instrument analysed, greatly encouraging studies based on joint analysis of different datasets. In addition the extremely high-resolution output, to be used offline with a Python-based free software, together with the files to be read with specific GIS software, makes it a valuable tool to further process the data at the best spatial accuracy available. MATISSE modular structure permits addition of new missions or tasks and, thanks to dedicated future developments, it would be possible to make it compliant to the Planetary Virtual Observatory standards currently under definition. In this context the recent development of an interface to the NASA ODE REST API by which it is possible to access to public repositories is set.

Moffatt vortices in the lid-driven cavity flow

description: In incompressible viscous flows in a confined domain, vortices are known to form at the corners and in the vicinity of separation points. The existence of a sequence of vortices (known as Moffatt vortices) at the corner with diminishing size and rapidly decreasing intensity has been indicated by physical experiments as well as mathematical asymptotics. In this work, we establish the existence of Moffatt vortices for the flow in the famous Lid-driven square cavity at moderate Reynolds numbers by using an efficient Navier-Stokes solver on non-uniform space grids. We establish that Moffatt vortices in succession follow fixed geometric ratios in size and intensities for a particular Reynolds number. In order to eliminate the possibility of spurious solutions, we confirm the physical presence of the small scales by pressure gradient computation along the walls.

description: Evidence suggests that children develop implicit metacognitive uncertainty in early childhood, and become increasingly able to report on such uncertainty with explicit metacognitive measures as they reach middle childhood, with some degree of shared variance between these processes (Roebers, Kälin & Aeschlimann, 2020; Roebers, et al., 2019). Importantly, most studies have used recognition tests and paired associative learning tasks. While they show variation in confidence judgements, such measures are inherently only able to distinguish high compared to low confidence, rather than gradated changes based on objective task parameters. The present study aims to assess whether children can experience and report on uncertainty through response latencies and explicit confidence measures in probabilistic decisions. In the study, children will be presented with balls (red or blue) in boxes and asked in child-friendly language whether a red or blue ball would be randomly selected based on varying proportions of red or blue balls in the sample. In addition to the direct variation of task parameters through proportions of colours, some information can also be obscured (through “closing” some of the boxes to hide the colour ball inside). Building on previous work, this study aims to investigate how children conceptualise of unknown information through direct comparisons of varying probabilistic displays and metacognitive appraisals.

Quantum Spin Liquid in a Breathing Kagome Lattice

description: Motivated by recent experiments on the vanadium oxyfluoride material DQVOF, we examine possible spin liquid phases on a breathing kagome lattice of S=1/2 spins. By performing a projective symmetry group analysis, we determine the possible phases for both fermionic and bosonic $\mathbb{Z}_2$ spin liquids on this lattice, and establish the correspondence between the two. The nature of the ground state of the Heisenberg model on the isotropic kagome lattice is a hotly debated topic, with both $\mathbb{Z}_2$ and U(1) spin liquids argued to be plausible ground states. Using variational Monte Carlo techniques, we show that a gapped $\mathbb{Z}_2$ spin liquid emerges as the clear ground state in the presence of this breathing anisotropy. Our results suggest that the breathing anisotropy helps to stabilize this spin liquid ground state, which may aid us in understanding the results of experiments and help to direct future numerical studies on these systems.
Forces in the complex octonion curved space

description: The paper aims to extend major equations in the electromagnetic and gravitational theories from the flat space into the complex octonion curved space. Maxwell applied simultaneously the quaternion analysis and vector terminology to describe the electromagnetic theory. It inspires subsequent scholars to study the electromagnetic and gravitational theories with the complex quaternions/octonions. Furthermore Einstein was the first to depict the gravitational theory by means of tensor analysis and curved four-space-time. Nowadays some scholars investigate the electromagnetic and gravitational properties making use of the complex quaternion/octonion curved space. From the orthogonality of two complex quaternions, it is possible to define the covariant derivative of the complex quaternion curved space, describing the gravitational properties in the complex quaternion curved space. Further it is possible to define the covariant derivative of the complex octonion curved space by means of the orthogonality of two complex octonions, depicting simultaneously the electromagnetic and gravitational properties in the complex octonion curved space. The result reveals that the connection coefficient and curvature of the complex octonion curved space will exert an influence on the field strength and field source of the electromagnetic and gravitational fields, impacting the linear momentum, angular momentum, torque, energy, and force and so forth.

Minute-Timescale >100 MeV gamma-ray variability during the giant outburst of quasar 3C 279 observed by Fermi-LAT in 2015 June

description: On 2015 June 16, Fermi-LAT observed a giant outburst from the flat spectrum radio quasar 3C 279 with a peak $>100$ MeV flux of $\sim3.6\times10^{-5}\;{\rm photons}\;{\rm cm}^{-2}\;{\rm s}^{-1}$ averaged over orbital period intervals. It is the historically highest $γ$-ray flux observed from the source including past EGRET observations, with the $γ$-ray isotropic luminosity reaching $\sim10^{49}\;{\rm erg}\;{\rm s}^{-1}$. During the outburst, the Fermi spacecraft, which has an orbital period of 95.4 min, was operated in a special pointing mode to optimize the exposure for 3C 279. For the first time, significant flux variability at sub-orbital timescales was found in blazar observations by Fermi-LAT. The source flux variability was resolved down to 2-min binned timescales, with flux doubling times less than 5 min. The observed minute-scale variability suggests a very compact emission region at hundreds of Schwarzschild radii from the central engine in conical jet models. A minimum bulk jet Lorentz factor ($Γ$) of 35 is necessary to avoid both internal $γ$-ray absorption and super-Eddington jet power. In the standard external-radiation-Comptonization scenario, $Γ$ should be at least 50 to avoid overproducing the synchrotron-self-Compton component. However, this predicts extremely low magnetization ($\sim5\times10^{-4}$). Equipartition requires $Γ$ as high as 120, unless the emitting region is a small fraction of the dissipation region. Alternatively, we consider $γ$ rays originating as synchrotron radiation of $γ_{\rm e}\sim1.6\times10^6$ electrons, in magnetic field $B\sim1.3$ kG, accelerated by strong electric fields $E\sim B$ in the process of magnetoluminescence. At such short distance scales, one cannot immediately exclude production of $γ$ rays in hadronic processes.

Hilbert space renormalization for the many-electron problem

description: Renormalization is a powerful concept in the many-body problem. Inspired by the highly successful density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) algorithm, and the quantum chemical graphical representation of configuration space, we introduce a new theoretical tool: Hilbert space renormalization, to describe many-electron correlations. While in DMRG, the many-body states in nested Fock subspaces are successively renormalized, in Hilbert space renormalization, many-body states in nested Hilbert subspaces undergo renormalization. This provides a new way to classify and combine configurations. The underlying wavefunction ansatz, namely the Hilbert space matrix product state (HS-MPS), has a very rich and flexible mathematical structure. It provides low-rank tensor approximations to any configuration interaction (CI) space through restricting either the 'physical indices' or the coupling rules in the HS-MPS. Alternatively, simply truncating the 'virtual dimension' of the HS-MPS leads to a family of size-extensive wave function ansaetze that can be used efficiently in variational calculations. We make formal and numerical comparisons between the HS-MPS, the traditional Fock-space MPS used in DMRG, and traditional CI approximations. The analysis and results shed light on fundamental aspects of the efficient representation of many-electron wavefunctions through the renormalization of many-body states.

description: This work aims at estimating inverse autocovariance matrices of long memory processes admitting a linear representation. A modified Cholesky decomposition is used in conjunction with an increasing order autoregressive model to achieve this goal. The spectral norm consistency of the proposed estimate is established. We then extend this result to linear regression models with long-memory time series errors. In particular, we show that when the objective is to consistently estimate the inverse autocovariance matrix of the error process, the same approach still works well if the estimated (by least squares) errors are used in place of the unobservable ones. Applications of this result to estimating unknown parameters in the aforementioned regression model are also given. Finally, a simulation study is performed to illustrate our theoretical findings.

description: Nowadays, micromagnetic simulations are a common tool for studying a wide range of different magnetic phenomena, including the ferromagnetic resonance. A technique for evaluating reliability and validity of different micromagnetic simulation tools is the simulation of proposed standard problems. We propose a new standard problem by providing a detailed specification and analysis of a sufficiently simple problem. By analyzing the magnetization dynamics in a thin permalloy square sample, triggered by a well defined excitation, we obtain the ferromagnetic resonance spectrum and identify the resonance modes via Fourier transform. Simulations are performed using both finite difference and finite element numerical methods, with \textsf{OOMMF} and \textsf{Nmag} simulators, respectively. We report the effects of initial conditions and simulation parameters on the character of the observed resonance modes for this standard problem. We provide detailed instructions and code to assist in using the results for evaluation of new simulator tools, and to help with numerical calculation of ferromagnetic resonance spectra and modes in general.

description: We study the overdensity of point sources in the direction of X-ray-selected galaxy clusters from the Meta-Catalog of X-ray detected Clusters of galaxies (MCXC; $\langle z \rangle = 0.14$) at South Pole Telescope (SPT) and Sydney University Molonglo Sky Survey (SUMSS) frequencies. Flux densities at 95, 150 and 220 GHz are extracted from the 2500 deg$^2$ SPT-SZ survey maps at the locations of SUMSS sources, producing a multi-frequency catalog of radio galaxies. In the direction of massive galaxy clusters, the radio galaxy flux densities at 95 and 150 GHz are biased low by the cluster Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Effect (SZE) signal, which is negative at these frequencies. We employ a cluster SZE model to remove the expected flux bias and then study these corrected source catalogs. We find that the high frequency radio galaxies are centrally concentrated within the clusters and that their luminosity functions (LFs) exhibit amplitudes that are characteristically an order of magnitude lower than the cluster LF at 843 MHz. We use the 150 GHz LF to estimate the impact of cluster radio galaxies on an SPT-SZ like survey. The radio galaxy flux typically produces a small bias on the SZE signal and has negligible impact on the observed scatter in the SZE mass-observable relation. If we assume there is no redshift evolution in the radio galaxy LF then $1.8\pm0.7$ percent of the clusters would be lost from the sample. Allowing for redshift evolution of the form $(1+z)^{2.5}$ increases the incompleteness to $5.6\pm1.0$ percent. Improved constraints on the evolution of the cluster radio galaxy LF require a larger cluster sample extending to higher redshift.

description: This study presents a methodology to simulate non-homogeneous non-Gaussian corrosion fields on the external surface of buried steel pipelines by using inline inspection (ILI) data. It is assumed that the non-homogeneous non-Gaussian corrosion field consists of multiple homogeneous non-Gaussian anomalies that can be characterized by the marginal distribution and spatial autocorrelation function of the corresponding corrosion depths. Based on corrosion data collected from in-service pipelines, empirical relationships are developed to estimate parameters of the marginal distribution and autocorrelation function from the ILI information. To generate a synthetic corrosion field, one first generates realizations of corrosion anomalies and then merge the generated anomalies into a single non-homogeneous field by applying a spatial modulating function to each anomaly. The proposed methodology will improve the accuracy of the fitness-for-service assessment of corroded pipelines in practice as the burst capacity of the corroded pipeline can be more accurately evaluated by using the synthetic corrosion field than using the idealized corrosion field obtained from the ILI data.

description: This work constitutes one part of an investigation of the low-temperature changes of the properties of the eta' meson. In turn these properties are strongly tied to the U(1)_A anomaly of Quantum Chromodynamics. The final aim is to explore the interplay of the chiral anomaly and in-medium effects. We determine the lifetime of an eta' meson being at rest in a strongly interacting medium as a function of the temperature. To have a formally well-defined low-energy limit we use in a first step Chiral Perturbation Theory for a large number of colors. We determine the pertinent scattering amplitudes in leading and next-to-leading order. In a second step we include resonances that appear in the same mass range as the eta' meson. The resonances are introduced such that the low-energy limit remains unchanged and that they saturate the corresponding low-energy constants. This requirement fixes all coupling constants. We find that the width of the eta' meson is significantly increased from about 200 keV in vacuum to about 10 MeV at a temperature of 120 MeV.

description: Astronomers have access to precious few nearby, middle-aged benchmark star clusters. Within 500 pc, there are only NGC 752 and Ruprecht 147 (R147), at 1.5 and 3 Gyr respectively. The Database for Galactic Open Clusters (WEBDA) also lists Lodén 1 as a 2 Gyr cluster at a distance of 360 pc. If this is true, Lodén 1 could become a useful benchmark cluster. This work details our investigation of Lodén 1. We assembled archival astrometry (PPMXL) and photometry (2MASS, Tycho-2, APASS), and acquired medium resolution spectra for radial velocity measurements with the Robert Stobie Spectrograph (RSS) at the Southern African Large Telescope. We observed no sign of a cluster main-sequence turnoff or red giant branch amongst all stars in the field brighter than $J < 11$. Considering the 29 stars identified by L.O. Lodén and listed on SIMBAD as the members of Lodén 1, we found no compelling evidence of kinematic clustering in proper motion or radial velocity. Most of these candidates are A stars and red giants, and their observed properties are consistent with distant field stars in the direction of Lodén 1 in the Galactic plane. We conclude that the old nearby cluster Lodén 1 is neither old, nor nearby, nor a cluster.

description: Dispersing graphite in water to obtain true (single layer) graphene (SLG) in bulk quantity in a liquid has been an unreachable goal for materials scientists in the last decade. Likewise, a diagnostic tool for identifying solubilized SLG in situ has been long awaited. Homogeneous stable dispersions of SLG in water are obtained by mixing graphenide (negatively charged graphene) solutions in tetrahydrofuran (THF) with degassed water and evaporating the organic solvent. In situ Raman spectroscopy of these aqueous dispersions shows all the expected characteristics of single layer graphene, including an intense 2D band of Lorentzian shape and linewidth of 28 cm-1. Transmission electron and atomic force microscopies on deposits confirm SLG character. The resulting additive-free stable water dispersions contain 0.16 mg/mL of SLG.

description: We present a detailed study of the colours in late-type galaxy discs for ten of the EDisCS galaxy clusters with 0.5 < z < 0.8. Our cluster sample contains 172 spiral galaxies, and our control sample is composed of 96 field disc galaxies. We deconvolve their ground-based V and I images obtained with FORS2 at the VLT with initial spatial resolutions between 0.4 and 0.8 arcsec to achieve a final resolution of 0.1 arcsec with 0.05 arcsec pixels, which is close to the resolution of the ACS at the HST. After removing the central region of each galaxy to avoid pollution by the bulges, we measured the V-I colours of the discs. We find that 50% of cluster spiral galaxies have disc V-I colours redder by more than 1 sigma of the mean colours of their field counterparts. This is well above the 16% expected for a normal distribution centred on the field disc properties. The prominence of galaxies with red discs depends neither on the mass of their parent cluster nor on the distance of the galaxies to the cluster cores. Passive spiral galaxies constitute 20% of our sample. These systems are not abnormally dusty. They are are made of old stars and are located on the cluster red sequences. Another 24% of our sample is composed of galaxies that are still active and star forming, but less so than galaxies with similar morphologies in the field. These galaxies are naturally located in the blue sequence of their parent cluster colour-magnitude diagrams. The reddest of the discs in clusters must have stopped forming stars more than ~5 Gyr ago. Some of them are found among infalling galaxies, suggesting preprocessing. Our results confirm that galaxies are able to continue forming stars for some significant period of time after being accreted into clusters, and suggest that star formation can decline on seemingly long (1 to 5 Gyr) timescales.

description: In the wake of the murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and Ahmaud Arbery in 2020, among other (on-going) acts of violence against African Americans, a group of IASSIST members felt compelled to gather materials that can help all of us better recognize, acknowledge and combat inherent racial bias. Their work led to the formation of the current IASSIST Anti-Racism Resources Action Group. This Group has three subgroups that have been working to compile a variety of resources that might otherwise be difficult to find, such as: (1) sources of data and datasets on a variety of topics that document racism and the Black experience internationally; (2) tools, articles and rubrics for building anti-racism into the process of working with data across the research lifecycle.

 This panel consists of members of the subgroup that is working to developing a guide for finding these race and race-related data and resources. We will discuss the challenges and considerations in finding data documenting racism and the Black experience internationally, as well discrimination based on indigenous, national, and cultural/ethnic origins. We will share strategies and examples of how to apply the strategies. We will answer questions about the finding tool and the related list of data sources and guides for working with an anti-racism lens. We may begin to explore how these tools might be adapted and expanded over time to address other types of discrimination, such as by migrant/refugee status, religion, gender identity, or sexuality." The panel welcome participants feedback on strategies and their knowledge and experience that can contribute to making these tools applicable internationally and inclusive.

description: An increasing number of observations have shown that gaseous debris discs are not an exception. However, until now we only knew of cases around A stars. Here we present the first detection of 12CO (2-1) disc emission around an F star, HD 181327, obtained with ALMA observations at 1.3 mm. The continuum and CO emission are resolved into an axisymmetric disc with ring-like morphology. Using a Markov chain Monte Carlo method coupled with radiative transfer calculations we study the dust and CO mass distribution. We find the dust is distributed in a ring with a radius of 86.0 +- 0.4 AU and a radial width of 23.2 +- 1.0 AU. At this frequency the ring radius is smaller than in the optical, revealing grain size segregation expected due to radiation pressure. We also report on the detection of low level continuum emission beyond the main ring out to ~200 AU. We model the CO emission in the non-LTE regime and we find that the CO is co-located with the dust, with a total CO gas mass ranging between 1.2x10^-6 Mearth and 2.9x10^-6 Mearth, depending on the gas kinetic temperature and collisional partners densities. The CO densities and location suggest a secondary origin, i.e. released from icy planetesimals in the ring. We derive a CO+CO2 cometary composition that is consistent with Solar system comets. Due to the low gas densities it is unlikely that the gas is shaping the dust distribution.

Can digital/artificial intelligence become a new oracle for humanity? (in the context of the theory of 3 stages of human evolution by A. Comte and the concept of the formation of the 4th stage - digital)

description: Belief in the powerful, the supernatural, and the inexplicable has no beginning or end. The central role in human fears has always been played by oracles - sacred people (priests). At the same time, both people and places that were considered sacred could be an oracle. It was assumed that seers could both explain the supernatural and predict the future. K. Popper introduced the term - the philosophy of oracles to denote a style of philosophizing similar to the manner of predicting the future, used by oracles when performing religious cults or by mediums in magic sessions. The main method of divination oracles is to intimidate or enchant their listeners. In the context of A. Comte's theory of human evolution, we will be able to see the following patterns of interaction with the supernatural: at the theological stage, for example, in Ancient Greece, there are many Gods; at the metaphysical stage - the reasoning of philosophers, for example, Plato about God as the Creator and Creator of the universe, and Aristotle spoke of God as a philosophical God, and at the early scientific stage - these are the discoveries made by Copernicus and Galileo, which completely turned the worldview of mankind. So at the present time, in the conditions of the formation of the 4th stage of human evolution, digital intelligence begins to prevail over the human mind, and artificial intelligence takes on the role of a world oracle capable of predicting the future in an incredible way.
