description: Speech recognition is a critical task in the field of artificial intelligence and has witnessed remarkable advancements thanks to large and complex neural networks, whose training process typically requires massive amounts of labeled data and computationally intensive operations. An alternative paradigm, reservoir computing, is energy efficient and is well adapted to implementation in physical substrates, but exhibits limitations in performance when compared to more resource-intensive machine learning algorithms. In this work we address this challenge by investigating different architectures of interconnected reservoirs, all falling under the umbrella of deep reservoir computing. We propose a photonic-based deep reservoir computer and evaluate its effectiveness on different speech recognition tasks. We show specific design choices that aim to simplify the practical implementation of a reservoir computer while simultaneously achieving high-speed processing of high-dimensional audio signals. Overall, with the present work we hope to help the advancement of low-power and high-performance neuromorphic hardware.

description: We review the yields of intermediate mass elements (from C to Zn) from massive stars and their associated uncertainties, in the light of recent theoretical results. We consider the role of those yields for our understanding of the chemical evolution of the solar neighbourhood and of the halo of our Galaxy. Current yields reproduce in a satisfactory way the solar system composition, but several problems remain concerning abundance ratios in halo stars.

description: A more convenient synthesis of the perfluoro alkyl hypofluorite (F3C)3COF as well as the hitherto unknown (C2F5)(F3C)2COF compound is reported. Both hypofluorites can be prepared by use of the corresponding tertiary alcohols RFOH and elemental fluorine in the presence of CsF. An appropriate access to these highly reactive hypofluorites is crucial. The hypofluorites are then transferred into their corresponding perfluoro bisalkyl peroxides RFOORF [RF=(F3C)3C, (C2F5)(F3C)2C] by treatment with partially fluorinated silver wool. NMR, gas‐phase infrared, and solid‐state Raman spectra of the perfluoro bisalkyl peroxides are presented and their chemical properties are discussed.

description: The very first light captured by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) revealed a population of galaxies at very high redshifts more massive than expected in the canonical $Λ$CDM model of structure formation. Barring, among others, a systematic origin of the issue, in this paper, we test alternative cosmological perturbation histories. We argue that models with a larger matter component $Ω_m$ and/or a larger scalar spectral index $n_s$ can substantially improve the fit to JWST measurements. In this regard, phenomenological extensions related to the dark energy sector of the theory are appealing alternatives, with Early Dark Energy emerging as an excellent candidate to explain (at least in part) the unexpected JWST preference for larger stellar mass densities. Conversely, Interacting Dark Energy models, despite producing higher values of matter clustering parameters such as $σ_8$, are generally disfavored by JWST measurements. This is due to the energy-momentum flow from the dark matter to the dark energy sector, implying a smaller matter energy density. Upcoming observations may either strengthen the evidence or falsify some of these appealing phenomenological alternatives to the simplest $Λ$CDM picture.

description: We report multi-wavelength ultraviolet observations taken with the IRIS satellite, concerning the emergence phase in the upper chromosphere and transition region of an emerging flux region (EFR) embedded in the pre-existing field of active region NOAA 12529. IRIS data are complemented by full-disk observations of the Solar Dynamics Observatory satellite, relevant to the photosphere and the corona. The photospheric configuration of the EFR is also analyzed by measurements taken with the spectropolarimeter aboard the Hinode satellite, when the EFR was fully developed. Recurrent intense brightenings that resemble UV bursts, with counterparts in all coronal passbands, are identified at the edges of the EFR. Jet activity is also observed at chromospheric and coronal levels, near the observed brightenings. The analysis of the IRIS line profiles reveals the heating of dense plasma in the low solar atmosphere and the driving of bi-directional high-velocity flows with speed up to 100 km/s at the same locations. Compared with previous observations and numerical models, these signatures suggest evidence of several long-lasting, small-scale magnetic reconnection episodes between the emerging bipole and the ambient field. This process leads to the cancellation of a pre-existing photospheric flux concentration and appears to occur higher in the atmosphere than usually found in UV bursts, explaining the observed coronal counterparts.

description: From 1996 June 10 to 1996 July 29 the International AGN Watch monitored the Seyfert 1 galaxy NGC 7469 using IUE, RXTE, and a network of ground-based observatories. On 1996 June 18, in the midst of this intensive monitoring period, we obtained a high signal-to-noise snapshot of the UV spectrum from 1150-3300 A using the FOS on HST. This spectrum allows us to disentangle the UV continuum more accurately from the broad wings of the emission lines, to identify clean continuum windows free of contaminating emission and absorption, and to deblend line complexes such as Lya+NV, CIV+HeII+OIII], SiIII]+CIII], and MgII+FeII. Using the FOS spectrum as a template, we have fit and extracted line and continuum fluxes from the IUE monitoring data. The cleaner continuum extractions confirm the discovery of time delays between the different UV continuum bands by Wanders et al. Our new measurements show delays increasing with wavelength for continuum bands centered at 1485 A, 1740 A and 1825 A relative to 1315 A with delays of 0.09, 0.28 and 0.36 days, respectively. Like many other Seyfert 1 galaxies, the UV spectrum of NGC 7469 shows intrinsic, blue-shifted absorption in Lya, NV and C IV. Soft X-ray absorption is also visible in archival ASCA X-ray spectra. The strength of the UV absorption, however, is not compatible with a single-zone model in which the same material absorbs both the UV and X-ray light. Similar to other Seyfert galaxies such as NGC 3516, the UV-absorbing gas in NGC 7469 has a lower ionization parameter and column density than the X-ray absorbing material. While the UV and X-ray absorption does not arise in the same material, the frequent occurrence of both associated UV absorption and X-ray warm absorbers in the same galaxies suggests that the gas supply for each has a common origin.

Comparative simulations of Kelvin-Helmholtz induced magnetic reconnection at the Earth's magnetospheric flanks

description: This study presents three-dimensional (3D) resistive Hall-magnetohydrodynamic simulations of the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability (KHI) dynamics at Earth's magnetospheric flanks during northward interplanetary magnetic field periods. By comparing two simulations with and without initial magnetic shear, we analyze the impact of distinct magnetic field orientations on plasma dynamics and magnetic reconnection events taking into account 3D mechanisms, such as KHI high latitude stabilization. The identical nature of the simulations, except for the presence/absence of an initial magnetic shear, enables, for the first time, a complete and coherent comparative analysis of the latitudinal distribution of KH vortices, current sheets, reconnection events, and the evolution of the mixing layer. In one configuration, a uniform magnetic field leads to double mid-latitude reconnection (MLR), while in the other, magnetic shear induces both type I vortex-induced reconnection (VIR) and MLR. Notably, the type I VIR observed in this second scenario results from the combined action of line advection and vortex-induced current sheet pinching (the classic mechanism driving two-dimensional type I VIR). Of particular importance is our quantification of newly closed field lines that experienced double reconnection, ultimately becoming embedded in solar wind plasma at low latitudes while remaining connected to magnetospheric plasma at high latitudes. The varying abundance of such lines in the two simulations holds implications for plasma transport at the magnetopause.

description: Centrality and system geometry dependence of azimuthal anisotropy of charged hadrons measured in terms of the elliptic flow parameter are investigated using Au+Au event samples at incident beam energy $20$A GeV and $40$A GeV generated by Ultrarelativistic Quantum Molecular Dynamics and A Multiphase Transport models. The Monte Carlo Glauber model is employed to estimate the eccentricity of the overlapping zone at an early stage of the collisions. Anisotropies present both in the particle multiplicity distribution and in the kinetic radial expansion are examined by using standard statistical and phenomenological methods. In the context of upcoming Compressed Baryonic Matter experiment to be held at the Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research, the present set of simulated results provide us not only with an opportunity to examine the expected collective behavior of hadronic matter at high baryon density and moderate temperature environment, but when compared with similar results obtained from Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider and Large Hadron Collider experiments, they also allow us to investigate how anisotropy of hadronic matter may differ or agree with its low baryon density and high temperature counterpart.

Effective field theory for collective rotations and vibrations of triaxially deformed nuclei

description: The effective field theory (EFT) for triaxially deformed even-even nuclei is generalized to include the vibrational degrees of freedom. The pertinent Hamiltonian is constructed up to next-to-leading order. The leading order part describes the vibrational motion, and the NLO part couples rotations to vibrations. The applicability of the EFT Hamiltonian is examined through the description of the energy spectra of the ground state bands, $γ$-bands, and $K=4$ bands in the $^{108, 110, 112}$Ru isotopes. It is found that by taking into account the vibrational degrees of freedom, the deviations for high-spin states in the $γ$-band observed in the EFT with only rotational degrees of freedom disappear. This supports the importance of including vibrational degrees of freedom in the EFT formulation for the collective motion of triaxially deformed nuclei.

description: We address the emergence of entropy production in the non-equilibrium process of an open quantum system from the viewpoint of the environment. By making use of a dilation-based approach akin to Stinespring theorem, we derive an expression for the entropy production that comprises two fundamental contributions. The first is linked to the rate of creation of correlations between system and environment whereas the second highlights the possibility for the environment to modify its state in light of its coupling to the system. Both terms are shown to be associated with irreversible currents within the system and the environment, which pinpoint the emergence of irreversibility in the Markovian limit. Finally, we discuss how such a change of perspective in the study of entropy production has fecund implications for the study of non-Markovian open-system dynamics.

Photo-excited states in correlated band insulators

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Strongly Correlated Electrons (cond-mat.str-el)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We study the photo-excitation dynamics of correlated band insulators, using non-equilibrium dynamical mean-field theory for the ionic Hubbard model. We find two distinct behaviors, depending on the ratio of the on-site interaction $U$ and the bare band gap $Δ$. For small interactions, the relaxation is characterized by intra-band carrier scattering in relatively rigid bands, leading to a non-thermal intermediate state with separate thermal distributions of electrons and holes. This behavior can be viewed as typical for a band insulator with weak interactions. For larger interaction, on the other hand, we observe a strong modification of the electronic spectrum and a filling-in of the gap after photo-excitation, along with a rapid thermalization of the system. The two behaviors therefore provide a dynamical distinction of a correlated band insulator and a band-insulator, which can differ even when the spectra of the two systems are similar in equilibrium. The crossover happens when the interaction $U$ is comparable to $Δ$.

Assessing the Capabilities of Dynamic Coronal Seismology of Alfvénic Waves through Forward Modeling

description: Coronal seismology is a diagnostic tool used in solar physics for measuring parameters that are otherwise hard to measure; of these parameters, magnetic field values are arguably the most important. The parameters are inferred by combining observations of waves with magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) wave theory. To date, coronal seismology has successfully been applied to various single-oscillation events. Such events are relatively rare, resulting in rare occasions to use diagnostics. Ubiquitous waves in the solar atmosphere might, however, allow for the possibility of dynamic coronal seismology, which involves the continuous inversions of coronal parameters and would constitute a huge leap forward in many areas of solar physics. In this paper, we investigate the robustness and accuracy of magnetic field diagnostics applied to forward-modeled 3D MHD simulations of propagating Alfvénic waves. We find that the seismologically measured magnetic field values are reassuringly close to the input value (within 20%) for a range of setups studied, providing encouragement and confidence for the further development of dynamic coronal seismology.

While all the properties of this quantity are reflected from that of one-sided measurement, the latter one is shown to set an upper bound for arbitrary bipartite state. As an illustration, we have studied the nonlocality of Bell diagonal state.

description: Detecting structural changes in functional data is a prominent topic in statistical literature. However not all trends in the data are important in applications, but only those of large enough in uence. In this paper we address the problem of identifying relevant changes in the eigenfunctions and eigenvalues of covariance kernels of L^2[0; 1]- valued time series. By self-normalization techniques we derive pivotal, asymptotically consistent tests for relevant changes in these characteristics of the second order structure and investigate their finite sample properties in a simulation study. The applicability of our approach is demonstrated analyzing German annual temperature data.

Synchrotron Radiation as the Source of GRB Spectra, Part I: Theory

description: We investigate synchrotron emission models as the source of gamma ray burst spectra. We show that allowing for synchrotron self absorption and a ``smooth cutoff'' to the electron energy distribution produces a wide range of low energy spectral behavior. We show that there exists a correlation between the value of the peak of the $νF_ν$ spectrum, $E_{p}$, and the low energy spectral index $α$ as determined by spectral fits over a finite bandwidth. Finally, we discuss the implications of synchrotron emission from internal shocks for GRB spectral evolution.

description: Doping of silicon via phosphene exposures alternating with molecular beam epitaxy overgrowth is a path to Si:P substrates for conventional microelectronics and quantum information technologies. The technique also provides a new and well-controlled material for systematic studies of two-dimensional lattices with a half-filled band. We show here that for a dense ($n_s=2.8\times 10^{14}$\,cm$^{-2}$) disordered two-dimensional array of P atoms, the full field angle-dependent magnetostransport is remarkably well described by classic weak localization theory with no corrections due to interaction effects. The two- to three-dimensional cross-over seen upon warming can also be interpreted using scaling concepts, developed for anistropic three-dimensional materials, which work remarkably except when the applied fields are nearly parallel to the conducting planes.

Synchrotron Emission as the Source of GRB Spectra, Part II: Observations

description: We test the models of synchrotron emission presented in Part I of this series (Lloyd & Petrosian, these proceedings) against the distributions and evolution of GRB spectral parameters (particularly the low energy index, $α$). With knowledge of the $E_{p}$ distribution and the correlation between $α$ and $E_{p}$ presented in Part I, we show how to derive the expected distribution of $α$ from fits to optically thin synchrotron spectra, and compare this with the observed distribution. We show that there is no difficulty explaining bursts below the ``line of death'', $α< -2/3$, and that these bursts indicate that the spectrum of accelerated electrons must flatten or decline at low energies. Bursts with low energy spectral indices that fall above this limit are explained by the synchrotron self-absorption frequency entering the lower end of the BATSE window. Finally, we discuss a variety of spectral evolution behavior seen in GRBs and explain this behavior in the context of synchrotron emission from internal shocks.

Cosmic-rays, gas, and dust in nearby anti-centre clouds : III -- Dust extinction, emission, and grain properties

description: We have explored the capabilities of dust extinction and $γ$ rays to probe the properties of the interstellar medium in the nearby anti-centre region. We have jointly modelled the $γ$-ray intensity and the stellar reddening, E(B-V) as a combination of H$_{\rm I}$-bright, CO-bright, and ionised gas components. The complementary information from dust reddening and $γ$ rays is used to reveal the dark gas not seen, or poorly traced, by H$_{\rm I}$, free-free, and $^{12}$CO emissions. We compare the total gas column densities, $N_{\rm{H}}$, derived from the $γ$ rays and stellar reddening with those inferred from a similar analysis (Remy et al. 2017) of $γ$ rays and of the optical depth of the thermal dust emission, $τ_{353}$, at 353 GHz. We can therefore compare environmental variations in specific dust reddening, E(B-V)/$N_{\rm H}$, and in dust emission opacity (dust optical depth per gas nucleon), $τ_{353}/N_{\rm{H}}$. Over the whole anti-centre region, we find an average E(B-V)/$N_{\rm H}$ ratio of $(2.02\pm0.48)\times$ $10^{-22}$~mag~cm$^2$, with maximum local variations of about $\pm30\%$ at variance with the two to six fold coincident increase seen in emission opacity as the gas column density increases. In the diffuse medium, the small variations in specific reddening, E(B-V)/$N_{\rm H}$ implies a rather uniform dust-to-gas mass ratio in the diffuse parts of the anti-centre clouds. The small amplitude of the E(B-V)/$N_{\rm H}$ variations with increasing $N_{\rm{H}}$ column density confirms that the large opacity $τ_{353}/N_{\rm{H}}$ rise seen toward dense CO clouds is primarily due to changes in dust emissivity. The environmental changes are qualitatively compatible with model predictions based on mantle accretion on the grains and the formation of grain aggregates.

Possible Candidates for SUSY SO(10) Model with an Intermediate Scale

description: We study the possibility of an intermediate scale existing in supersymmetric SO(10) grand unified theories: The intermediate scale is demanded to be around 10^{12} GeV so that neutrinos can obtain masses suitable for explaining the experimental data on the deficit of solar neutrino with Mikheev-Smirnov-Wolfenstein solution and the existence of hot dark matter. We show that any Pati-Salam type intermediate symmetries are excluded by requiring reasonable conditions and only $SU(2)_L\times SU(2)_R \times SU(3)_C\times U(1)_{B-L}$ is likely to be realized as an intermediate symmetry.

Velocity reconstruction in the era of DESI and Rubin (part I): Exploring spectroscopic, photometric & hybrid samples

description: Peculiar velocities of galaxies and halos can be reconstructed from their spatial distribution alone. This technique is analogous to the baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) reconstruction, using the continuity equation to connect density and velocity fields. The resulting reconstructed velocities can be used to measure imprints of galaxy velocities on the cosmic microwave background (CMB) like the kinematic Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (kSZ) effect or the moving lens effect. As the precision of these measurements increases, characterizing the performance of the velocity reconstruction becomes crucial to allow unbiased and statistically optimal inference. In this paper, we quantify the relevant performance metrics: the variance of the reconstructed velocities and their correlation coefficient with the true velocities. We show that the relevant velocities to reconstruct for kSZ and moving lens are actually the halo -- rather than galaxy -- velocities. We quantify the impact of redshift-space distortions, photometric redshift errors, satellite galaxy fraction, incorrect cosmological parameter assumptions and smoothing scale on the reconstruction performance. We also investigate hybrid reconstruction methods, where velocities inferred from spectroscopic samples are evaluated at the positions of denser photometric samples. We find that using exclusively the photometric sample is better than performing a hybrid analysis. The 2 Gpc$/h$ length simulations from AbacusSummit with realistic galaxy samples for DESI and Rubin LSST allow us to perform this analysis in a controlled setting. In the companion paper Hadzhiyska et al. 2024, we further include the effects of evolution along the light cone and give realistic performance estimates for DESI luminous red galaxies (LRGs), emission line galaxies (ELGs), and Rubin LSST-like samples.
