description: We present a semi-implicit method for isothermal two-fluid ion-neutral ambipolar drift that is second-order accurate in space and time. The method has been implemented in the RIEMANN code for astrophysical fluid dynamics. We present four test problems that show the method works and correctly tracks the propagation of MHD waves and the structure of two-fluid C-shocks. The accurate propagation of MHD waves in the two-fluid approximation is shown to be a stringent test of the algorithm. We demonstrate that highly accurate methods are required in order to properly capture the MHD wave behaviour in the presence of ion-neutral friction.

description: We study the quantum phase diagram and excitation spectrum of the frustrated $J_1$-$J_2$ spin-1/2 Heisenberg Hamiltonian. A hierarchical mean-field approach, at the heart of which lies the idea of identifying {\it relevant} degrees of freedom, is developed. Thus, by performing educated, manifestly symmetry preserving mean-field approximations, we unveil fundamental properties of the system. We then compare various coverings of the square lattice with plaquettes, dimers and other degrees of freedom, and show that only the {\it symmetric plaquette} covering, which reproduces the original Bravais lattice, leads to the known phase diagram. The intermediate quantum paramagnetic phase is shown to be a (singlet) {\it plaquette crystal}, connected with the neighboring Néel phase by a continuous phase transition. We also introduce fluctuations around the hierarchical mean-field solutions, and demonstrate that in the paramagnetic phase the ground and first excited states are separated by a finite gap, which closes in the Néel and columnar phases. Our results suggest that the quantum phase transition between Néel and paramagnetic phases can be properly described within the Ginzburg-Landau-Wilson paradigm.

description: We review the properties of nuclear halos and nuclear skins in drip line nuclei in the framework of the spherical Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov theory with continuum effects and projection on good particle number with the Gogny force. We first establish the position of the un-projected HFB drip lines for the two most employed parametrizations of the Gogny force and show that the use of finite-range interactions leads almost always to small-sized halos, even in the least bound nuclei, which is in agreement with most mean-field predictions. We also discuss the size of the neutron skin at the drip line and its relation to neutron asymmetry. The impact of particle-number projection and its conceptual consequences near the drip line are analyzed in detail. In particular, we discuss the role of the chemical potential in a projected theory and the criteria required to define the drip line. We show that including particle number projection can shift the latter, in particular near closed shells. We notice that, as a result, the size of the halo can be increased due to larger pairing correlations. However, combining the most realistic pairing interaction, a proper treatment of the continuum and particle number projection does not permit to reproduce the very large halos observed in very light nuclei.

description: AES Convention Paper - Presented online for the 151st Convention in Las Vegas, NV, October 2021. This paper describes a method for creating reverberation impulse responses from a variety of audio source materials forms the basis of a family of novel reverberation effects. In auto-reverberation, segments of audio are selected and processed to form an evolving sequence of reverberation impulse responses that are applied to the original source material—that is, the audio is reverberating itself. In cross-reverberation, impulse responses derived from one audio track are applied to another audio track. The reverberation impulse responses are formed by summing randomly selected segments of the source audio, and imposing reverberation characteristics, including reverberation time and wet equalization. By controlling the number and timing of the selected source audio segments, the method produces an array of impulse responses that represent a trajectory through the source material. In so doing, the evolving impulse responses will have the character of room reverberation while also expressing the changing timbre and dynamics of the source audio. Processing architectures are described, and off-line and real-time virtual acoustic sound examples derived from the music of Bach and Dick Dale are presented.

description: The physical nature of the X-ray/radio correlation of AGN is still an unsolved question. High angular resolution observations are necessary to disentangle the associated energy dynamics into nuclear and stellar components. We present MERLIN/EVN 18cm observations of 13 X-raying AGN. The sample consists of Seyfert 1, Narrow Line Seyfert 1, and LINER-like galaxies. We find that for all objects the radio emission is unresolved and that the radio luminosities and brightness temperatures are too high for star formation to play an important role. This indicates that the radio emission in these sources is closely connected to processes that occur in the vicinity of the central massive black hole, also where the X-ray emission is believed to originate in.

Durable Violence in Southeast Asia

Year: 2019

description: Rampant forms of violence increasingly take place not only in troubled areas but also in centers and metropoles. Such violence is no longer simply confined to local concerns or historical ruptures, but emerges instead in relation to modalities of power. The movement of people and expanding networks of actors and capital enables the notion of violence to transgress boundaries set by institutions, geography, state, and power. In some conditions, rather than sealing off the emergence of violence, the transition to democracy has opened the door for engineered violent confrontations to manifest out of cleavages that have been tempered by previous authoritarian rule. ASEAS 12(2) addresses violence in selected cases and on different scales. The contributions discuss how violence is practiced, how it (re)produces structures, and how it may eventually transform into non-violence. Violence is not simply an outcome of tensions but is a mechanism that actors and organizations deploy to stabilize their struggles, which eventually makes peacebuilding or democratic projects volatile. The articles in this issue feature police violence in the Philippines; intimate partner violence against women in Vietnam; Islamist online/offline mobilization strategies in Indonesia; the role of traditional actors in reconciliation processes in Timor-Leste; and gender security in the context of conflict management in Thailand’s Deep South.

Quantum spinning strings in AdS_4 x CP^3: testing the Bethe Ansatz proposal

description: Recently, an asymptotic Bethe Ansatz that is claimed to describe anomalous dimensions of "long" operators in the planar N=6 supersymmetric three-dimensional Chern-Simons-matter theory dual to quantum superstrings in AdS_4 x CP^3 was proposed. It initially passed a few consistency checks but subsequent direct comparison to one-loop string-theory computations created some controversy. Here we suggest a resolution by pointing out that, contrary to the initial assumption based on the algebraic curve considerations, the central interpolating function h(λ) entering the BMN or magnon dispersion relation receives a non-zero one-loop correction in the natural string-theory computational scheme. We consider a basic example which has already played a key role in the AdS_5 x S^5 case: a rigid circular string stretched in both AdS_4 and along an S^1 of CP^3 and carrying two spins. Computing the leading one-loop quantum correction to its energy allows us to fix the constant one-loop term in h(λ) and also to suggest how one may establish a correspondence with the Bethe Ansatz proposal, including the non-trivial one-loop phase factor. We discuss some problems which remain in trying to match a part of world-sheet contributions (sensitive to compactness of the string direction) and their Bethe Ansatz counterparts.

description: Abbreviated. We aim to identify new low-mass companions to young stars using the astrometric measurements provided by the Gaia space mission and complementary VLT/SPHERE data. We identify companion candidates from a sample of K-type, pre-main sequence stars in the Scorpius Centaurus association using the early version of the third data release of the Gaia space mission. Based on the provided positions, proper motions, and magnitudes, we identify all objects within a predefined radius whose differential proper motions are consistent with a gravitationally bound system. We derive companion masses through comparison with evolutionary tracks. For seven identified companion candidates we use additional data collected with VLT/SPHERE and VLT/NACO to assess the accuracy of the properties of the companions based on Gaia photometry alone. We identify 110 comoving companions that have a companionship likelihood of more than $95\,\%$. We identify ten especially intriguing companions that have masses in the brown dwarf regime down to $20\,M_\mathrm{Jup}$. Our high-contrast imaging data confirm both astrometry and photometric masses derived from Gaia alone. We discover a new brown dwarf companion, TYC 8252-533-1 B, with a projected separation of approximately $570\,\mathrm{au}$ from its Sun-like primary. SED modeling provides a companion mass of $52^{+17}_{-11}\,M_\mathrm{Jup}$. We show that the Gaia database can identify low-mass companions at wide separations from their host stars. For K-type Sco-Cen members Gaia can detect sub-stellar objects at projected separations larger than $300\,\mathrm{au}$ and is sensitivity limited beyond $1,000\,\mathrm{au}$ with a lower mass limit down to $20\,M_\mathrm{Jup}$. A similar analysis of other star-forming regions could significantly enlarge the sample size of such objects and test formation and evolution theories of planetary systems.

Islamist Buzzers

description: Based on ethnographic research on Islamist buzzers – social media political operators tasked with making particular online conversation subjects trend – in Indonesia, this article details the process of how the proliferation of insensitive message in both the online and offline realms plays a role in mobilizing those sympathetic to religious fundamentalism. As this research shows, the interviewed buzzers were one of the driving forces behind the massive success of the fundamentalist Islamic Defenders Front (Front Pembela Islam, FPI) as they mobilized people to participate in the organization’s political rallies between 2016 and 2017. Driven by altruistic volunteerism and sense of community, these actors go beyond their duty as click-farmers. They maintain regular contact with sympathizers and convincing them to revive broken weblinks, hang banners on streets as part of astroturfing campaigns and gather masses to attend offline events. Detailing the activity and spatiality of buzzers in crafting new online and offline spaces as part of their innovative bottom-up propaganda management, this research concludes that right-wing political mobilization and radicalization are not simply the product of ideology but are catalyzed by technically and socially tedious, mediated messaging campaigns.

State Appropriation of Traditional Actors and Oral Narratives in Timor-Leste
Creators: name: Sousa, Lúcio
Publisher: name: Austrian Journal of South-East Asian Studies
Year: 2019

description: In Timor-Leste, the lia na`in (lian = word; na`in = lord, master) – leaders of customary practice – are becoming key to tradition, to “kultura” (culture), an emerging area of public cultural policies. Traditionally associated with the local communities and the mountains, they are the ones that know and pronounce the words that uncover the origin of the world, and the relationship between mankind, nature, and ancestors. Since 20 May 2002, when political power was handed from the United Nations to the Timorese authorities, several episodes have illustrated that the involvement of the lia na`in has shifted from their traditional local contexts to national ones. From small-scale sociopolitical agents, the lia na`in became a resource as buffers of conflict or of reconciliation, as council members of the suco, the smallest administrative division, and as actors in national state ceremonies, taking part in the process of (re)creating the nation’s cultural identity. The purpose of this article is to discuss the role assigned to lia na`in in state affairs and the nation, particularly the role concerning conflict resolution. The argument, I propose, is that the participation of the lia na`in, as a ritual authority, in state-sponsored ceremonies has become a major resource of credibility to the new national authorities.

description: Southeast Asian countries host significant numbers of forcibly displaced populations, both within countries and across borders. This brief review paper provides a basic overview on recent forced migration research in Southeast Asia for the period 2013 to 2018. To this end, a keyword search with two predefined sets of search terms was carried out in the Web of Science database in September 2018. The identified research literature corpus was then analyzed regarding persons of concern, study site(s) (country/ies) as well as main drivers of migration. The results show that the major part of studies focuses on refugees and asylum seekers in the region’s main host countries, namely Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia. This correspondence between current research trends and the distribution of refugees and asylum seekers in Southeast Asia could, however, not be identified for internally displaced persons (IDPs). Although Southeast Asian countries account for a substantial share of worldwide IDPs, only a very limited number of identified studies focus on this group of persons of concern.

Subjects: subject: Other Condensed Matter (cond-mat.other)

description: We study mixtures of spinless bosons and not spin-polarized fermions loaded in two dimensional optical lattices. We approach the problem of the ground state stability within the framework of the linear response theory; by the mean of an iterative procedure, we are able to obtain a relation for the dependence of boson-boson effective interaction on the absolute temperature of the sample. Proceeding from such a formula, we write down analyitical expressions for Supersolid (SS) and Phase Separation (PS) transition temperatures, and plot the phase diagrams.
Die Gratiszeitung "Heute" als Akteurin im Diskurs um die öffentliche Sicherheit in Österreich
Creators: name: Geiblinger, Angela
Year: 2018

description: Obwohl Gratistageszeitungen seit vielen Jahren kostenlose Informationen darbieten und durch hohe Reichweiten und Auflagenzahlen auffallen, sind sie in der For-schung bislang wenig beachtet worden. Die vorliegende Arbeit möchte dem entge-genwirken und die Gratiszeitung Heute als wichtige Diskursakteurin in den Blick nehmen. Am Beispiel des Diskurses um Österreichs öffentliche Sicherheit wird die Rolle und Positionierung des kostenlosen Printprodukts untersucht. Die Arbeit stellt im Gesamten eine Diskursanalyse des betreffenden Diskurses dar. Dabei werden unterschiedliche Perspektiven eingenommen, um diesen facetten-reich beschreiben zu können. Das Hauptaugenmerk bleibt dabei jedoch auf Heute und ihrer Rolle innerhalb des Diskurses. Statistische Daten zeigen, dass Österreich zu den sichersten Ländern der Erde zählt und eine vergleichsweise extrem niedrige Kriminalitätsrate aufzuweisen hat. Diese „Wirklichkeit“ in Verbindung zu bringen mit der Kriminalitätsberichterstattung von Heute stellt ein zentrales Ziel der Arbeit dar. Eine ausführliche Beschreibung des Gratisblattes verortet es in der österreichi-schen Medienlandschaft und erläutert Hintergründe zu Blattlinie, Erscheinungsbild und diskursiven Strategien. Die Auseinandersetzung mit dem Begriff „Persuasion“ in verschiedenen For-schungsdisziplinen bildet die Grundlage der qualitativen Inhaltsanalyse, die die Persuasivität der Texte untersucht. Drei Aspekte werden dabei herausgegriffen: die raumgreifende Darstellung des Sicherheitsdiskurses, die Verhältnismäßigkeit der Themenwahl sowie die Versprachlichung der TäterInnen. Es zeigt sich, dass Heute auf allen untersuchten Ebenen ein tendenziell negatives Bild von Österreichs öffentlicher Sicherheit entwirft. Die Auseinandersetzung mit Medienrezeptions- und Medienwirkungsforschung zeigt jedoch, dass Rezipierende den Medieninhalten nicht handlungsunfähig ge-genüberstehen, sondern darüber hinaus zahlreiche andere Einflussfaktoren auf die Konstruktion bzw. Veränderung persönlicher Einstellungen wirken.

description: Peculiar velocity surveys have non-uniform spatial distributions of tracers, so that the bulk flow estimated from them does not correspond to that of a simple volume such as a sphere. Thus bulk flow estimates are generally not strictly comparable between surveys, even those whose effective depths are similar. In addition, the sparseness of typical surveys can lead to aliasing of small scale power into what is meant to be a probe of the largest scales. Here we introduce a new method of calculating bulk flow moments where velocities are weighted to give an optimal estimate of the bulk flow of an idealized survey, with the variance of the difference between the estimate and the actual flow being minimized. These "minimum variance" estimates can be designed to estimate the bulk flow on a particular scale with minimal sensitivity to small scale power, and are comparable between surveys. We compile all major peculiar velocity surveys and apply this new method to them. We find that most surveys we studied are highly consistent with each other. Taken together the data suggest that the bulk flow within a Gaussian window of radius 50 Mpc/h is 407 km/s toward l=287 and b=8. The large-scale bulk motion is consistent with predictions from the local density field. This indicates that there are significant density fluctuations on very large scales. A flow of this amplitude on such a large scale is not expected in the WMAP5-normalized LCDM cosmology, for which the predicted one-dimensional r.m.s. velocity is ~110 km/s. The large amplitude of the observed bulk flow favors the upper values of the WMAP5 error-ellipse, but even the point at the top of the WMAP5 95% confidence ellipse predicts a bulk flow which is too low compared to that observed at >98% confidence level.

Police Use of Deadly Force in the Philippines
Creators: name: Kreuzer, Peter
Publisher: name: Austrian Journal of South-East Asian Studies
Year: 2019

description: This article provides a detailed analysis of pre-Duterte and Duterte police use of deadly force in the Philippines. It first develops a set of indicators that allow for assessing the magnitude of police use of deadly force in “armed encounters”, its relation to the threat environments in which the police operate, and the lethality of such violence. Then, based on a self-developed dataset for the pre-Duterte decade and the ABS-CBN dataset on Duterte period police killings, it establishes the past and current patterns of police use of deadly force. The analysis shows that in the past decade as under Duterte inter-provincial spatial and temporal variation of police use of deadly force has been very high. Differences in the threat environment play only a minor role in explaining this variation. Differences in sub-national units’ reactions to the Duterte campaign mirror those in police use of deadly force during the earlier decade, signaling strong path-dependency. Lethality-levels have been outstanding in both periods despite dramatically differing levels of lethal violence. Clearly, Philippine police tended to shoot-to-kill already before Duterte granted them a carte blanche.

A study of mental health services provided to mentally retarded adults in a metropolitan area
Creators: name: Gordon, Wendy Lorraine
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The main purpose of this study was to obtain information on the provision of mental health services to mentally retarded adults by mental health professionals in the metropolitan areas of Vancouver and Richmond in the Province of British Columbia. The four main areas of investigation were: i) the preparation and experience of mental health professionals in the area of mental retardation; ii) the provision of mental health services to mentally retarded adults; iii) the reactions of mental health professionals and parents towards the provision of mental health services to mentally retarded adults; and iv) the background of mentally retarded adults presently receiving mental health services. Two questionnaires were developed in order to gather information pertaining to the four main areas of investigation, one for mental health professionals and one for parents of mentally retarded adults. There was a smaller rate of return than expected, which may be assumed to effect the generalizability of the results of the survey. Conclusions, however, were drawn and discussed in relation to earlier studies. Some of the major findings were: 1. There appears to be a direct relationship between the level of mental retardation and the value and effectiveness of counselling and/or psychotherapeutic assistance. 2. There is an apparent lack of involvement in professional preparation and continuing education opportunities by mental health professionals in the area of mental retardation and specifically in the area of the care and treatment of the mentally retarded adult. 3. Of the mental health professionals surveyed, social workers appeared to be the most involved in the provision of mental health services to the mentally retarded adult, and this in turn appeared to reflect the type of mental health services provided to this population. 4. The majority of mental health professionals stated that a generic agency could provide counselling and/or psychotherapeutic assistance to mentally retarded adults, however, a significant majority of parents indicated that they would prefer their son or daughter to go to a separate service for the mentally retarded. Suggestions for further research included: 1. examining further the nature of "mental health" problems causing the mentally retarded adult to be placed into an institution; 2. examining further the involvement of vocational, residential, recreational, and "other" counselling personnel in the provision of counselling and/or psychotherapeutic assistance to mentally retarded adults; 3. researching the need of parents of mentally retarded adults, for parental and/or family counselling or therapy; and 4. evaluating the use of generic services for the provision of mental health services to mentally retarded adults and their families.

description: A fully consistent linear perturbation theory for cosmology is derived in the presence of quantum corrections as they are suggested by properties of inverse volume operators in loop quantum gravity. The underlying constraints present a consistent deformation of the classical system, which shows that the discreteness in loop quantum gravity can be implemented in effective equations without spoiling space-time covariance. Nevertheless, non-trivial quantum corrections do arise in the constraint algebra. Since correction terms must appear in tightly controlled forms to avoid anomalies, detailed insights for the correct implementation of constraint operators can be gained. The procedures of this article thus provide a clear link between fundamental quantum gravity and phenomenology.

Religious Discourse and Gender Security in Southern Thailand
Creators: name: Marddent, Amporn
Publisher: name: Austrian Journal of South-East Asian Studies
Year: 2019

description: This article describes the complexity of applying human security through the notion of gender equality in southern Thailand where violent conflict has been prevalent for nearly half a century in a Malay-Muslim-dominated society. It explores how the concepts of gender and security have been interpreted in Malay-Muslim leaders’ outlooks. To define security more broadly, the article surveys the various notions of peacebuilding dealing with comprehensive human security and any security threat, thus not limited to state of war or physical violence only. In the prolonged armed violence and conflict, like that faced in Thailand’s Deep South, women’s security and their role in peacebuilding emerge as pertinent concerns. The discontinuities within the narratives of women and security highlight a divergence connected to personal-political imaginations of conflict whereby subtle variations in violent conflict can be seen as the products of different policy prescriptions, local cultural norms, and the project outcomes of women groups supported by governmental organizations and national and international donors. Thus, in order to reflect upon how contemporary security notions are framed, gendered security per- ceptions ought to be considered as they signify the exercise of peacebuilding programs in the local context. Persistent advocacy of gender equality is about cultural change, which eventually becomes a modality for non-violent society.

description: We report the first-ever calculation of the isovector flavor combination of the chiral-odd twist-3 parton distribution $h_L(x)$ for the proton from lattice QCD. We employ gauge configurations with two degenerate light, a strange and a charm quark ($N_f=2+1+1$) of maximally twisted mass fermions with a clover improvement. The lattice has a spatial extent of 3 fm and lattice spacing of 0.093 fm. The values of the quark masses lead to a pion mass of $260$ MeV. We use a source-sink time separation of 1.12 fm to control contamination from excited states. Our calculation is based on the quasi-distribution approach, with three values for the proton momentum: 0.83 GeV, 1.25 GeV, and 1.67 GeV. The lattice data are renormalized non-perturbatively using the RI$'$ scheme, and the final result for $h_L(x)$ is presented in the $\overline{\rm MS}$ scheme at the scale of 2 GeV. Furthermore, we compute in the same setup the transversity distribution, $h_1(x)$, which allows us, in particular, to compare $h_L(x)$ to its Wandzura-Wilczek approximation. We also combine results for the isovector and isoscalar flavor combinations to disentangle the individual quark contributions for $h_1(x)$ and $h_L(x)$, and address the Wandzura-Wilczek approximation in that case as well.

description: We study the anomalous dimensions for scalar operators for a three-dimensional Chern-Simons theory recently proposed in arXiv:0806.1218. We show that the mixing matrix at two-loop order is that for an integrable Hamiltonian of an SU(4) spin chain with sites alternating between the fundamental and the anti-fundamental representations. We find a set of Bethe equations from which the anomalous dimensions can be determined and give a proposal for the Bethe equations to the full superconformal group of OSp(2,2|6).

description: Older adults often take longer to respond to their environment. In my thesis I used EEG (which measures brain signals) to understand why this occurs in both healthy older adults and stroke patients. Age-related difficulties were attributable to taking longer to gather information from the environment, while those with stroke took longer to notice relevant information from the side opposite to their stroke. Also, signals that related to neurons going ‘offline’ were more common after stroke, suggesting the brain is more easily fatigued. These findings may help us to design rehabilitation strategies that are targeted at specific, dysfunctional brain signals.

description: We consider linear iterated function systems (IFS) with a constant contraction ratio in the plane for which the "overlap set" $\Ok$ is finite, and which are "invertible" on the attractor $A$, the sense that there is a continuous surjection $q: A\to A$ whose inverse branches are the contractions of the IFS. The overlap set is the critical set in the sense that $q$ is not a local homeomorphism precisely at $\Ok$. We suppose also that there is a rational function $p$ with the Julia set $J$ such that $(A,q)$ and $(J,p)$ are conjugate. We prove that if $A$ has bounded turning and $p$ has no parabolic cycles, then the conjugacy is quasisymmetric. This result is applied to some specific examples including an uncountable family. Our main focus is on the family of IFS $\{λz,λz+1\}$ where $λ$ is a complex parameter in the unit disk, such that its attractor $A_\lam$ is a dendrite, which happens whenever $\Ok$ is a singleton. C. Bandt observed that a simple modification of such an IFS (without changing the attractor) is invertible and gives rise to a quadratic-like map $q_\lam$ on $A_\lam$. If the IFS is post-critically finite, then a result of A. Kameyama shows that there is a quadratic map $p_c(z)=z^2+c$, with the Julia set $J_c$ such that $(A_\lam,q_\lam)$ and $(J_c,p_c)$ are conjugate. We prove that this conjugacy is quasisymmetric and obtain partial results in the general (not post-critically finite) case.

description: Sidney Jones is director of the Jakarta-based Institute for Policy Analysis of Conflict (IPAC). From 2002 to 2013, she worked with the International Crisis Group, first as Southeast Asia project director, then from 2007 as senior adviser to the Asia program. Before that she worked for the Ford Foundation, Amnesty International, and Human Rights Watch. She is an expert on security in Southeast Asia, particularly Islamic terrorist move- ments in Indonesia. Jones has analyzed and extensively written on separatist conflicts (Aceh, Papua, Mindanao), communal conflicts (Poso, Moluccas), and ethnic conflict (Kalimantan) in Indonesia. She also has studied Islamic radicalism, producing reports on the Islamist terrorist network Jemaah Islamiyah and its operations in Indonesia and the Philippines, as well as issues of security sector reform and decentralization in Indonesia. This interview was conducted and recorded at IPAC office in Jakarta on 20 August 2019. It focuses on questions of religious extremism, political violence, and conflict dynamics in contemporary Indonesia.

description: Highly luminous rapid flares are characteristic of processes around compact objects like white dwarfs, neutron stars or black holes. In the high energy regime of X- and gamma-rays, outbursts with variability time-scales of seconds and faster are routinely observed, e.g. in gamma-ray bursts or Soft Gamma Repeaters. In the optical, flaring activity on such time-scales has never been observed outside the prompt phase of GRBs. This is mostly due to the fact that outbursts with strong, fast flaring usually are discovered in the high-energy regime. Most optical follow-up observations of such transients employ instruments with integration times exceeding tens of seconds, which are therefore unable to resolve fast variability. Here we show the observation of extremely bright and rapid optical flaring in the galactic transient SWIFT J195509.6+261406. Flaring of this kind has never previously been reported. Our optical light-curves are phenomenologically similar to high energy light-curves of Soft Gamma Repeaters and Anomalous X-ray Pulsars, which are thought to be neutron stars with extremely high magnetic fields (magnetars). This suggests similar emission processes may be at work, but in contrast to the other known magnetars with strong emission in the optical.

description: The mass of a supermassive black hole ($M_\mathrm{BH}$) is a fundamental property that can be obtained through observational methods. Constraining $M_\mathrm{BH}$ through multiple methods for an individual galaxy is important for verifying the accuracy of different techniques, and for investigating the assumptions inherent in each method. NGC 4151 is one of those rare galaxies for which multiple methods can be used: stellar and gas dynamical modeling because of its proximity ($D=15.8\pm0.4$ Mpc from Cepheids), and reverberation mapping because of its active accretion. In this work, we re-analyzed $H-$band integral field spectroscopy of the nucleus of NGC 4151 from Gemini NIFS, improving the analysis at several key steps. We then constructed a wide range of axisymmetric dynamical models with the new orbit-superposition code Forstand. One of our primary goals is to quantify the systematic uncertainties in $M_\mathrm{BH}$ arising from different combinations of the deprojected density profile, inclination, intrinsic flattening, and mass-to-light ratio. As a consequence of uncertainties on the stellar luminosity profile arising from the presence of the AGN, our constraints on \mbh are rather weak. Models with a steep central cusp are consistent with no black hole; however, in models with more moderate cusps, the black hole mass lies within the range of $0.25\times10^7\,M_\odot \lesssim M_\mathrm{BH} \lesssim 3\times10^7\,M_\odot$. This measurement is somewhat smaller than the earlier analysis presented by Onken et al., but agrees with previous $M_\mathrm{BH}$ values from gas dynamical modeling and reverberation mapping. Future dynamical modeling of reverberation data, as well as IFU observations with JWST, will aid in further constraining $M_\mathrm{BH}$ in NGC 4151.
