description: A Cosmic Muon Veto (CMV) detector using extruded plastic scintillators is being designed around the mini-Iron Calorimeter (mini-ICAL) detector at the transit campus of the India based Neutrino Observatory, Madurai for the feasibility study of shallow depth underground experiments. The scintillation signals that are produced in the plastic due to muon trajectories are absorbed by wavelength shifting (WLS) fibres. The WLS fibres re-emit photons of longer wavelengths and propagate those to silicon photo-multipliers (SiPMs). The SiPMs detect these photons, producing electronic signals. The CMV detector will use more than 700 scintillators to cover the mini-ICAL detector and will require around 3000 SiPMs. The design goal for the cosmic muon veto efficiency of the CMV is >99.99%. Hence, every SiPM used in the detector needs to be tested and characterised to satisfy the design goal of CMV. A mass testing system was developed for the measurement of gain and choice of the overvoltage ($V_{ov}$) of each SiPMs using an LED driver. The $V_{ov}$ is obtained by studying the noise rate, the gain of the SiPM. This paper describes the experimental setup used to test the SiPMs characteristics along with detailed studies of those characteristics as a function of temperature.

description: We consider an anisotropic search for the stochastic gravitational-wave (GW) background by decomposing the gravitational-wave sky into its spherical harmonics components. Previous analyses have used the diffraction limit to define the highest-order spherical harmonics components used in this search. We investigate whether the angular resolution of this search is indeed diffraction-limited by testing our ability to detect and localize simulated GW signals. We show that while using low-order spherical harmonics modes is optimal for initially detecting GW sources, the detected sources can be better localized with higher-order spherical harmonics than expected based on the diffraction limit argument. Additionally, we discuss how the ability to recover simulated GW sources is affected by the number of detectors in the network, the frequency range over which the search is performed, and the method by which the covariance matrix of the GW skymap is regularized. While we primarily consider point-source signals in this study, we briefly apply our methodology to spatially-extended sources and discuss potential future modifications of our analysis for such signals.

description: Extragalactic globular clusters (GCs) are important tracers of galaxy formation and evolution. Obtaining GC catalogues from photometric data involves several steps which will likely become too time-consuming to perform on the large data volumes that are expected from upcoming wide-field imaging projects such as Euclid. In this work, we explore the feasibility of various machine learning (ML) methods to aid the search for GCs. We use archival Hubble Space Telescope data in the F475W and F850LP bands of 141 early-type galaxies in the Fornax and Virgo galaxy clusters. Using existing GC catalogues to label the data, we obtain an extensive data set of 84929 sources containing 18556 GCs and we train several ML methods both on image and tabular data containing physically relevant features extracted from the images. We find that our evaluated ML models are capable of producing catalogues of similar quality as the existing ones. The best performing methods, ensemble-based models like random forests and convolutional neural networks, recover ~ 90-94 % of GCs while producing an acceptable amount of false detections (~ 6-8 %) - with some falsely detected sources being identifiable as GCs that have not been labelled as such in the used catalogues. In the magnitude range 22 < m4_g < 24.5 mag, 98 - 99 % of GCs are recovered. We even find such high performance levels when training on Virgo and evaluating on Fornax data (and vice versa), illustrating that the models are transferable to environments with different conditions such as different distances than in the used training data. Additionally, we demonstrate how interpretable methods can be used to better understand model predictions, recovering that magnitudes, colours, and sizes are important for identifying GCs. These are encouraging results, indicating that similar methods can be applied for creating GC catalogues for a large number of galaxies.

description: Rogue waves are rapid and unpredictable events of exceptional amplitude reported in various fields, such as oceanography and optics, with much of the interest being targeted towards their physical origins and likelihood of occurrence. Here, we use the all-round framework of discrete-time quantum walks to study the onset of those events due to a random phase modulation, unveiling its long-tailed statistics, distribution profile, and dependence upon the degree of randomness. We find that those rogue waves belong the Gumbel family of extreme value distributions.

description: NASA's NICER telescope has recently provided evidence for non-dipolar magnetic field structures in rotation-powered millisecond pulsars. These stars are assumed to have gone through a prolonged accretion spin-up phase, begging the question of what accretion flows onto stars with complex magnetic fields would look like. We present results from a suite of GRMHD simulations of accreting neutron stars for dipole, quadrupole, and quadrudipolar stellar field geometries. This is a first step towards simulating realistic hotspot shapes in a general relativistic framework to understand hotspot variability in accreting millisecond pulsars. We find that the location and size of the accretion columns resulting in hotspots changes significantly depending on initial stellar field strength and geometry. We also find that the strongest contributions to the stellar torque are from disk-connected fieldlines and the pulsar wind, leading to spin-down in almost all of the parameter regime explored here. We further analyze angular momentum transport in the accretion disk due to large scale magnetic stresses, turbulent stresses, wind- and compressible effects which we identify with convective motions. The disk collimates the initial open stellar flux forming jets. For dipoles, the disk-magnetosphere interaction can either enhance or reduce jet power compared to the isolated case. However for quadrupoles, the disk always leads to an enhanced net open flux making the jet power comparable to the dipolar case. We discuss our results in the context of observed neutron star jets and provide a viable mechanism to explain radio power both in the low- and high-magnetic field case.

description: X-ray Binaries (XRBs) consist of a compact object that accretes material from an orbiting secondary star. The most secure method we have for determining if the compact object is a black hole is to determine its mass: this is limited to bright objects, and requires substantial time-intensive spectroscopic monitoring. With new X-ray sources being discovered with different X-ray observatories, developing efficient, robust means to classify compact objects becomes increasingly important. We compare three machine learning classification methods (Bayesian Gaussian Processes (BGP), K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), Support Vector Machines (SVM)) for determining the compact objects as neutron stars or black holes (BHs) in XRB systems. Each machine learning method uses spatial patterns which exist between systems of the same type in 3D Color-Color-Intensity diagrams. We used lightcurves extracted using six years of data with MAXI/GSC for 44 representative sources. We find that all three methods are highly accurate in distinguishing pulsing from non-pulsing neutron stars (NPNS) with 95\% of NPNS and 100\% of pulsars accurately predicted. All three methods have high accuracy distinguishing BHs from pulsars (92\%) but continue to confuse BHs with a subclass of NPNS, called the Bursters, with KNN doing the best at only 50\% accuracy for predicting BHs. The precision of all three methods is high, providing equivalent results over 5-10 independent runs. In a future work, we suggest a fourth dimension be incorporated to mitigate the confusion of BHs with Bursters. This work paves the way towards more robust methods to efficiently distinguish BHs, NPNS, and pulsars.

description:     
Additive manufacturing (or 3D printing) is one of the manufacturing processes which is currently being explored for its applicability under space boundary conditions, also known as in-space manufacturing. The space boundary conditions specifically affect material properties which in turn affect the printability of materials in space. Printing of soft materials in space is a novel application and the intent of this research was to print the softest of materials: edible materials, as a case study. 3D food printing is a novel food delivery method of using food products to either reproduce as a more aesthetically pleasing product or to print more nutrient-diverse foods. Launch of payload carrier and the boundary conditions of low Earth orbit including a vacuum environment, microgravity, temperature fluctuations, etc. These conditions make printing difficult, and my thesis is to overcome the boundary conditions (except microgravity) using a 3D soft material printer operating within a CubeSat. A CubeSat is a small satellite usually launched as an auxiliary payload used for basic Earth observation and radio communication. The printer must be able to survive launch and operation conditions, print within a simulated space environment, and adhere to the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) specific definition of additive manufacturing. The 3D soft material printer was designed, fabricated, and tested using space and CubeSat boundary conditions for determining optimal design. Testing conditions including: (1) printing under Earth conditions showing it follows ASTM standards, (2) surviving NASA standards for vibration testing for microsatellites under launch conditions, (3) completing a print under a vacuum setting. The results of the testing would prove a small microsatellite could print in the vacuum of space and survive launch parameters. Further work would provide insight into the design of food printers being readily available in smaller sizes and its operability in microgravity condition.

description: Following significant instrument upgrades and parallel methodological developments over the past decade, the TOSCA neutron spectrometer at the ISIS Pulsed Neutron & Muon Source in the United Kingdom has developed a rich and growing scientific community spanning a broad range of non-traditional areas of neutron science, including chemical catalysis, gas adsorption & storage, and new materials for energy and sustainability. High-pressure science, however, has seen little to no representation to date owing to previous limitations in capability. Herein, we explore for the first time the viability of rapid high-pressure measurements in the gigapascal regime, capitalizing from the orders-of-magnitude increase in incident flux afforded by a recent upgrade of the primary-beam path. In particular, we show that spectroscopic measurements up to pressures of 2 GPa over an unprecedented energy-transfer range are now possible within the hour timescale. In addition, we have designed and commissioned a dedicated set of high-pressure vessels, with a view to foster and support the further growth and development of an entirely new user community on TOSCA.

description: We study the fluctuation-mediated interactions between two atoms in the presence of an aplanatic lens, demonstrating an enhancement in their resonant dipole-dipole interaction. We derive the field propagation of the linear optical system in terms of the electromagnetic Green's tensor for an aplanatic lens. The collective internal atomic dynamics is analyzed via a Lindblad master equation, which allows one to characterize the dispersive and dissipative interactions between atoms. We thus demonstrate that the resonant dipole-dipole coupling between the atoms can be enhanced in the focal plane of the lens, and the lens-modified energy exchange between the atoms can create a mutual trapping potential. Our work opens new avenues for expanding dipole-dipole interactions to macroscopic scales and the experimental platforms to study them.

description: Recently, many geometric aspects of $\mathcal{N}$-extended AdS supergravity in chiral variables have been encountered and clarified. In particular, if the theory is supposed to be invariant under SUSY transformations also on boundaries, the boundary term has to be the action of a $\mathrm{OSp}(\mathcal{N}|2)_{\mathbb{C}}$ super Chern-Simons theory, and particular boundary conditions must be met. Based on this, we propose a way to calculate an entropy $S$ for surfaces, presumably including black hole horizons, in the supersymmetric version of loop quantum gravity for the minimal case $\mathcal{N}=1$. It proceeds in analogy to the non-supersymmetric theory, by calculating dimensions of quantum state spaces of the super Chern-Simons theory with punctures, for fixed quantum (super) area of the surface. We find $S = a_H/4$ for large areas and determine the subleading correction. Due to the non-compactness of $\mathrm{OSp}(1|2)_{\mathbb{C}}$ and the corresponding difficulties with the Chern-Simons quantum theory, we use analytic continuation from the Verlinde formula for a compact real form, $\mathrm{UOSp}(1|2)$, in analogy to work by Noui et al. This also entails studying some properties of $\mathrm{OSp}(1|2)_{\mathbb{C}}$ representations that we have not found elsewhere in the literature.

description: Graphene quality indicators obtained by Raman spectroscopy have been correlated to the structural changes of the graphene/Germanium interface as a function of in-vacuum thermal annealing. Specifically, it is found that graphene becomes markedly defected at 650 °C. By combining scanning tunneling microscopy, x-Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy and Near Edge x-ray Absorption Fine Structure Spectroscopy, we conclude that these defects are due to the release of H_{2} gas trapped at the graphene/Germanium interface. The H_{2} gas was produced following the transition from the as-grown hydrogen-termination of the Ge(110) surface to the emergence of surface reconstructions in the substrate. Interestingly, a complete self-healing process is observed in graphene upon annealing to 800 °C. The subtle interplay revealed between the microscopic changes occurring at the graphene/Germanium interface and graphene's defect density is valuable for advancing graphene growth, controlled 2D-3D heterogeneous materials interfacing and integrated fabrication technology on semiconductors.

description: Der Beitrag beschreibt die Verkehrsstrukturen in den internationalen Untersuchungsstädten des Forschungsprojekts WIVER. Neben den allgemeinen städtischen und verkehrlichen Strukturen werden die Motorisierungsentwicklung und Verkehrsmengenentwicklung betrachtet. In Zürich und Wien ist die Zunahme des Pkw-Bestandes trotz steigender Einwohnerzahlen deutlich abgeschwächt, die Verkehrsbelastungen im MIV sogar leicht rückläufig. Dem stehen eine zunehmende Nutzung des jeweils deutlich ausgebauten öffentlichen Verkehrs (ÖV) und des Fahrrads gegenüber. Jedoch ist davon auszugehen, dass der Pkw-Bestand im Umland weiter zunimmt und sich in einer regionalen Perspektive keine Reduzierung des MIV nachweisen lässt. Die Entwicklungen über die letzten Jahrzehnte werden im Anschluss aus verkehrsplanerischer und verkehrspolitischer Sicht betrachtet. Die niederländischen Fallbeispiele verfolgen eine eher radverkehrsfokussierte Verkehrspolitik, Wien und Zürich eine ÖV-fokussierte. In den drei großen Untersuchungsstädten spielen die Parkraumbewirtschaftung und der langfristige Ausbau des öffentlichen Verkehrs eine herausragende Rolle. Im Abschluss werden Schlussfolgerungen für die verkehrspolitische und verkehrsplanerische Diskussion in Deutschland abgeleitet.

description: A thought experiment is described and the probability of a particular type of results is predicted according to the quantum formalism. Then, the assumption is made that there exists a particle that travels from the source to one of the detectors, along a continuous trajectory. A contradiction appears: for agreeing with the quantum prediction, the particle has to land at once on two space separated detectors. Therefore, the trajectory of the particle, if it exists, cannot be continuous.

description: We report on the low-temperature ($T <$ 120 K) thermal expansion of the bismuth-based topological semimetal $β$-PtBi$_2$ and topological superconductor $β$-Bi$_2$Pd candidates. The linear thermal-expansion coefficient of tetragonal $β$-Bi$_2$Pd shows a pronounced anisotropy between the $a$- and $c$-axis while the volume thermal-expansion coefficient $α_V$($β$-Bi$_2$Pd) is considerable larger than $α_V$($β$-PtBi$_2$). The coefficient $α_V$($β$-PtBi$_2$) nearly matches the experimental specific heat, from which a Debye temperature $θ_D =$ 199 K is obtained. On the other hand, $α_V$($β$-Bi$_2$Pd) reasonably fits the Debye model with $θ_D =$ 138 K, extracted from the low-temperature specific heat. An almost constant Grüneisen parameter $Γ\approx$ 2 is obtained for both compounds. No magnetostriction is observed in any of both compounds up to $μ_0 H =$ 16 T. We compare our results with other Bi-based topological materials.

description: We present ALMA data on the 3mm continuum emission, CO isotopologues (12CO, 13CO, C18O), and high-density molecular tracers (HCN, HCO+, HNC, HNCO, CS, CN, and CH3OH) in NGC4526. These data enable a detailed study of the physical properties of the molecular gas in a longtime resident of the Virgo Cluster; comparisons to more commonly-studied spiral galaxies offer intriguing hints into the processing of molecular gas in the cluster environment. Many molecular line ratios in NGC4526, along with our inferred abundances and CO/H2 conversion factors, are similar to those found in nearby spirals. One striking exception is the very low observed 12CO/13CO(1-0) line ratio, $3.4\pm0.3$, which is unusually low for spirals though not for Virgo Cluster early-type galaxies. We carry out radiative transfer modeling of the CO isotopologues with some archival (2-1) data, and we use Bayesian analysis with Markov chain Monte Carlo techniques to infer the physical properties of the CO-emitting gas. We find surprisingly low [12CO/13CO] abundance ratios of $7.8^{+2.7}_{-1.5}$ and $6.5^{+3.0}_{-1.3}$ at radii of 0.4 kpc and 1 kpc. The emission from the high-density tracers HCN, HCO+, HNC, CS and CN is also relatively bright, and CN is unusually optically thick in the inner parts of NGC4526. These features hint that processing in the cluster environment may have removed much of the galaxy's relatively diffuse, optically thinner molecular gas along with its atomic gas. Angular momentum transfer to the surrounding intracluster medium may also have caused contraction of the disk, magnifying radial gradients such as we find in [13CO/C18O]. More detailed chemical evolution modeling would be interesting in order to explore whether the unusual [12CO/13CO] abundance ratio is entirely an environmental effect or whether it also reflects the relatively old stellar population in this early-type galaxy.

description: The primary difficulty in understanding the sources and processes that powered cosmic reionization is that it is not possible to directly probe the ionizing Lyman Continuum (LyC) radiation at that epoch as those photons have been absorbed by the intervening neutral hydrogen in the IGM on their way to us. It is therefore imperative to build a model to accurately predict LyC emission using other properties of galaxies in the reionization era. In recent years, studies have shown that the LyC emission from galaxies may be correlated to their Lya emission. Here, we study this correlation by analyzing thousands of galaxies at high-z in the SPHINX cosmological simulation. We post-process these galaxies with the Lya radiative transfer code RASCAS and analyze the Lya - LyC connection. We find that the Lya and LyC luminosities are strongly correlated with each other, although with dispersion. There is a positive correlation between Lya and LyC escape fractions in the brightest Lya emitters (>$10^{41}$ erg/s), similar to the recent observational studies. However, when we also include fainter Lya emitters (LAEs), the correlation disappears, which suggests that the observed relationship may be driven by selection effects. We also find that bright LAEs are dominant contributors to reionization ($> 10^{40}$ erg/s galaxies contribute $> 90\%$ of LyC emission). Finally, we build predictive models using multivariate linear regression where we use the physical and the Lya properties of simulated galaxies to predict their intrinsic and escaping LyC luminosities with a high degree of accuracy. We find that the most important galaxy properties to predict the escaping LyC luminosity of a galaxy are its escaping Lya luminosity, gas mass, gas metallicity, and SFR. These models can be very useful to predict LyC emissions from galaxies and can help us identify the sources of reionization.

Post-Newtonian gravity and Gaia-like astrometry. Effect of PPN $γ$ uncertainty on parallaxes

description: Relativistic models of light propagation adopted for high-precision astrometry are based on the parametrised post-Newtonian formalism, which provides a framework for examining the effects of a hypothetical violation of general relativity on astrometric data. Astrometric observations are strongly affected by the post-Newtonian parameter $γ$ describing the strength of gravitational light deflection. We study both analytically and numerically how a deviation in the PPN parameter $γ$ from unity, which is the value predicted by general relativity, affects the parallax estimations in Gaia-like astrometry. Changes in the observable quantities produced by a small variation in PPN $γ$ were calculated analytically. We then considered how such variations of the observables are reflected in the parallax estimations, and we performed numerical simulations to check the theoretical predictions. A variation in the PPN $γ$ results in a global shift of parallaxes and we present a formula describing the parallax bias in terms of the satellite barycentric distance, the angle between the spin axis and the direction to the Sun, and the PPN $γ$ uncertainty. Numerical simulations of the astrometric solutions confirm the theoretical result. The up-to-date estimation of PPN $γ$ suggests that a corresponding contribution to the Gaia parallax zero point unlikely exceeds 0.2 $μ$as. The numerical simulations indicate that the parallax shift is strongly dependent on ecliptic latitude. It is argued that this effect is due to an asymmetry in the Gaia scanning law and this conclusion is fully validated by additional simulations with a reversed direction of the precession of the spin axis around the direction to the Sun.

description: Predictions of the mean and covariance matrix of summary statistics are critical for confronting cosmological theories with observations, not least for likelihood approximations and parameter inference. The price to pay for accurate estimates is the extreme cost of running $N$-body and hydrodynamics simulations. Approximate solvers, or surrogates, greatly reduce the computational cost but can introduce significant biases, for example in the non-linear regime of cosmic structure growth. We propose "CARPool Bayes", an approach to solve the inference problem for both the means and covariances using a combination of simulations and surrogates. Our framework allows incorporating prior information for the mean and covariance. We derive closed-form solutions for Maximum A Posteriori covariance estimates that are efficient Bayesian shrinkage estimators, guarantee positive semi-definiteness, and can optionally leverage analytical covariance approximations. We discuss choices of the prior and propose a simple procedure for obtaining optimal prior hyperparameter values with a small set of test simulations. We test our method by estimating the covariances of clustering statistics of GADGET-III $N$-body simulations at redshift $z=0.5$ using surrogates from a 100-1000$\times$ faster particle-mesh code. Taking the sample covariance from 15,000 simulations as the truth, and using an empirical Bayes prior with diagonal blocks, our estimator produces nearly identical Fisher matrix contours for $Λ$CDM parameters using only $15$ simulations of the non-linear dark matter power spectrum. In this case the number of simulations is so small that the sample covariance would be degenerate. We show cases where even with a naïve prior our method still improves the estimate. Our framework is applicable to a wide range of cosmological and astrophysical problems where fast surrogates are available.

description: Metasurfaces control optical wavefronts via arrays of nanoscale resonators laid out across a surface. When combined with III-V semiconductors with strong optical nonlinearities, a variety of nonlinear effects such as harmonic generation and all optical modulation can be enabled and enhanced at the nanoscale. This review presents our research on engineering and boosting nonlinear effects in ultrafast and nonlinear semiconductor metasurfaces fabricated at the Center for Integrated Nanotechnologies (CINT). We cover our recent works on parametric generation of harmonic light via direct and cascaded processes in GaAs-metasurfaces using Mie-like optical resonances or symmetric-protected Bound State in the Continuum, and then describe the recent advances on harmonic generation in all-dielectric metasurfaces coupled to intersubband transitions in III-V semiconductor heterostructures. The review concludes on the potential of metasurfaces to serve as the next platform for on-chip quantum light generation.

description: Magnetic skyrmions are vortex-like spin textures, which can be manipulated by external stress or pressure via magnetoelastic effects. Here, we present the observation of isostructural phase transition in a biskyrmion host hexagonal MnNiGa at a pressure around 4 GPa using pressure-dependent synchrotron x-ray powder diffraction (XRD) data analysis. Our XRD data reveals anisotropic compression behavior with pressure with different compression rates of the a-axis in the basal plane and the c-axis in the prismatic plane. However, the hexagonal symmetry remains unchanged for pressure up to 14 GPa. Fitting of unit cell volume with pressure using a second-order Birch-Murnagan equation of state reveals that the data to fall into two distinct curves for those above and below 4 GPa. The present study contributes to the understanding of crystal structure with the application of hydrostatic pressure in the biskyrmion host MnNiGa, wherein the skyrmion textures can be manipulated by pressure due to their magnetoelastic character.

description: The past two and a half centuries of marine biological work in the Southern Ocean have resulted in a vast catalogue of living organisms. During this time there have been several attempts to classify distinct regional biodiversity patterns in the seas around Antarctica. The recent publication of the SCAR Biogeographic Atlas of the Southern Ocean represents the most comprehensive international effort to date. The complete database represents 1.07 million occurrence records (from Antarctic and neighbouring waters) for 9,064 recognised species from ~434,000 distinct sampling stations. It highlights the hotspots of biodiversity and areas of high levels of sampling, as well as identifying areas, geographical and taxonomic, which require substantial future investigation. It also utilises habitat modelling methods to predict species and community distributions. This compilation serves as a vital benchmark of current biodiversity knowledge and as a significant tool for future scientific, conservation and resource management planning.

description: The transmission of silicon crystals irradiated by 24 GeV/c protons and reactor neutrons has been measured for photon energies, $Eγ$, between 0.95 and 1.3 eV. From the transmission data the absorption coefficient $α$ is calculated, and from $α(E_γ)$ the fluence dependence of the band-gap energy, $E_{gap}$, and the energy of transverse optical phonons, $E_{ph}$, determined. It is found that within the experimental uncertainties of about 1 meV neither $E_{gap}$ nor $E_{ph}$ depend on fluence up to the maximum fluence of $1 \times 10^{17}$ cm$^{-2}$ of the measurements. The value of $E_{gap}$ agrees within about 1 meV with the generally accepted value, if an exciton-binding energy of 15 meV is assumed. A similar agreement is found for $E_{ph}$. For the extraction of $E_{gap}$ and $E_{ph}$ the second derivative of $\sqrt{α(Eγ )}$ smoothed with a Gaussian kernel has been used.
