Year: 2019

description: The BlackGEM project is the newest and latest addition to the suite of telescopes at La Silla. Installation is happening in Summer 2019. The scientific aim of the BlackGEM project is to detect and characterize gravitational wave emitters, detectable with aLIGO/aVIRGO. BlackGEM will also detect and characterize fast (hr-days) transients in the Local Universe (d<100 Mpc). The first phase of BlackGEM consists of three wide-field telescopes with a 65cm primary mirror, that can each image 2.7 square degrees at a seeing-limited resolution of 1" and sampled at 0.56"/pix using a single 10k x 10k CCD per telescope and a six-filter set. BlackGEM is installed at La Silla on the site of the former GPO telescope. Each telescope is housed on top of a 7m high steel cylinder. During the workshop we will organize a tour of the telescopes, in collaboration with ESO. All data from BlackGEM will be transported to a cloud environment in real-time for transient analysis. Detected transients will be announced publicly. BlackGEM will also perform a six-filter (u,g,q,r,i,z,) Southern All Sky Survey down to 22nd magnitude that will be made public through the ESO Archive.
 BlackGEM is run by a consortium of universities in the Netherlands, Belgium, Israel, UK, Germany, Denmark, Chile and the US and appreciates in-kind support by ESO.

description: Water temperature is a crucial water quality variable, as it controls the concentration of dissolved oxygen and nutrients. Also, stream temperature influences the productivity and distribution of aquatic ecosystems, since most species can tolerate a specific range of temperatures. During the last few years, Iowa’s agricultural activities have increased nutrients and nitrates concentration in water bodies, which has had devastating environmental impacts both locally and downstream. In 2015, Iowa installed the Iowa Water Quality (IWQ) network with more than 50 sensors in order to access real-time water quality data of water temperature, nitrate, pH, and dissolved oxygen concentrations. However, the IWQ network only provides observations at specific locations, limiting the information required to develop a water quality model. Therefore, the main goal of our work is to develop a distributed model to predict hourly water temperature for all streams. Our model describes the energy balance at the air-water interface, and estimates the heat flux by taking into account the solar radiation, net longwave radiation, evaporative heat flux, and convective heat transfer. We formulated the model for a general river network as a set of Ordinary Differential Equations (ODE). We compute water temperature using the asynchronous numerical solver from the Hillslope Link Model (HLM) developed for river networks. We evaluated the model using the High-Resolution Rapid Refresh (HRRR) meteorological data and discharge simulated by the Iowa Flood Center forecasting model. We tested and validated the temperature model using the 2021 records from the USGS gauges in Cedar River at Waverly. The preliminary results of the model for the Cedar River subbasin show potential for further evaluation in other basins in the state. We expect to provide accurate forecasts of stream water temperatures to support decision-making for stakeholders such as researchers, fisheries, and members of the community. This model is the first step in developing a higher-level water quality model to predict concentrations of nutrients in the water, which will be helpful for Iowa's environmental management.

description: High-mass stars are formed within massive molecular clumps, where a large number of stars form close together. The evolution of the clumps with different masses and luminosities is mainly regulated by its high-mass stellar content and the formation of such objects is still not well understood. In this work, we characterise the mid-J CO emission in a statistical sample of 99 clumps (Top100) selected from the ATLASGAL survey that are representative of the Galactic proto-cluster population. High-spatial resolution APEX-CHAMP+ maps of the CO(6-5) and CO(7-6) transitions were obtained and combined with additional single-pointing APEX-FLASH+ spectra of the CO(4-3) line. We study the correlations of the CO line luminosities and profiles for the three CO transitions with the clump properties and investigate if and how they change as a function of the evolution. All sources were detected above 3-$σ$ in all three CO transitions and most of the sources exhibit broad CO emission likely associated with molecular outflows. We found that the extension of the mid-J CO emission is correlated with the size of the dust emission traced by the Herschel-PACS 70 $μ$m maps. The CO line luminosity is correlated with the luminosity and mass of the clumps. However, it does not correlate with the L/M ratio. The dependency of the CO luminosity with the properties of the clumps is steeper for higher-J transitions. Our data seem to exclude that this trend is biased by self-absorption features in the CO emission, but rather suggest that different J transitions arise from different regions of the inner envelope. Moreover, high-mass clumps show similar trends in CO luminosity as lower mass clumps, but are systematically offset towards larger values, suggesting that higher column density and/or temperature (of unresolved) CO emitters are found inside high-mass clumps.

description: A central drop of ICM Fe abundance has been observed in several cool-core clusters. It has been proposed that this abundance drop may be due, at least partially, to the depletion of Fe into dust grains in the central, high-density regions. According to this scenario, noble gas elements such as Ar and Ne are not expected to be depleted into dust, and therefore should not show any drop, but follow the general increase of metal abundance toward the center. In this work, we test this scenario by measuring with {\sl Chandra} data the radial profiles of Ar and Ne in a sample of 12 groups and clusters where a central drop in Fe abundance has been detected. We confirm the presence of the Fe drop in 10 out of 12 clusters at more than 2$σ$ c.l., and 4 Ar drops with similar significance. We also find 4 Ne drops, with the caveat that Ne abundance measurement from CCD spectra suffers from systematics not completely under control. Our results are consistent with an abundance drop common to the three elements. When comparing the profiles, we find that, on average, the abundance profiles of Ar and Ne are significantly higher than Fe and steeper toward the center, while they all gradually become consistent with solar composition at $r\geq 0.05r_{500}$. We also check that Si and S profiles are mostly consistent with Fe. This result confirms a scenario in which some fraction of Fe is depleted into dust grains in the inner regions, although the global central abundance drop is mostly due to mechanical processes, like the displacement of metal-rich ICM from the very center to larger radii by AGN-driven feedback. Finally, we report the detection of an Fe drop in the cluster MACSJ1423.8+2404 at $z=0.543$, showing that this feature appears early on in cool-core clusters.

description: We study the critical dynamics of crystals which undergo a second-order phase transition from a high-temperature normal phase to a structurally incommensurate (IC) modulated phase. We give a comprehensive description of the critical dynamics of such systems, e.g. valid for crystals of the A_2BX_4 family. Using an extended renormalization scheme, we present a framework in which we analyze the phases above and below the critical temperature T_I. Above T_I, the crossover from the critical behavior to the mean-field regime is studied. Specifically, the resulting width of the critical region is investigated. In the IC modulated phase, we consider explicitly the coupling of the order parameter modes to one-loop order. Here the Goldstone anomalies and their effect on measurable quantities are investigated. We show their relation with the postulated phason gap. While the theory can be applied to a variety of experiments, we concentrate on quadrupole-perturbed nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) experiments. We find excellent agreement with these dynamical measurements and provide answers for some questions that arose from recent results.

description: We have been developing event-driven SOI Pixel Detectors, named `XRPIX' (X-Ray soiPIXel) based on the silicon-on-insulator (SOI) pixel technology, for the future X-ray astronomical satellite with wide band coverage from 0.5 keV to 40 keV. XRPIX has event trigger output function at each pixel to acquire a good time resolution of a few $μ\rm s$ and has Correlated Double Sampling function to reduce electric noises. The good time resolution enables the XRPIX to reduce Non X-ray Background in the high energy band above 10\,keV drastically by using anti-coincidence technique with active shield counters surrounding XRPIX. In order to increase the soft X-ray sensitivity, it is necessary to make the dead layer on the X-ray incident surface as thin as possible. Since XRPIX1b, which is a device at the initial stage of development, is a front-illuminated (FI) type of XRPIX, low energy X-ray photons are absorbed in the 8 $\rm μ$m thick circuit layer, lowering the sensitivity in the soft X-ray band. Therefore, we developed a back-illuminated (BI) device XRPIX2b, and confirmed high detection efficiency down to 2.6 keV, below which the efficiency is affected by the readout noise. In order to further improve the detection efficiency in the soft X-ray band, we developed a back-illuminated device XRPIX3b with lower readout noise. In this work, we irradiated 2--5 keV X-ray beam collimated to 4 $\rm μm ϕ$ to the sensor layer side of the XRPIX3b at 6 $\rm μm$ pitch. In this paper, we reported the uniformity of the relative detection efficiency, gain and energy resolution in the subpixel level for the first time. We also confirmed that the variation in the relative detection efficiency at the subpixel level reported by Matsumura et al. has improved.

description: WFPC2 images obtained with the Hubble Space telescope 4.16 years apart have allowed us to measure the proper motion of the metal rich globular cluster NGC 6553 with respect to the background bulge stars. With a space velocity of ($Π, Θ, W$) = (-3.5, 230, -3) km s$^{-1}$, NGC 6553 follows the mean rotation of both disk and bulge stars at a Galactocentric distance of 2.7 kpc. While the kinematics of the cluster is consistent with either a bulge or a disk membership, the virtual identity of its stellar population with that of the bulge cluster NGC6528 makes its bulge membership more likely. The astrometric accuracy is high enough for providing a measure of the bulge proper motion dispersion and confirming its rotation. A selection of stars based on the proper motions produced an extremely well defined cluster color-magnitude diagram (CMD), essencially free of bulge stars. The improved turnoff definition in the decontaminated CMD confirms an old age for the cluster (~13 Gyr) indicating that the bulge underwent a rapid chemical enrichment while being built up at in the early Universe. An additional interesting feature of the cluster color-magnitude diagram is a significant number of blue stragglers stars, whose membership in the cluster is firmly established from their proper motions.

description: Title: HTA appraisal processes for Orphan Medicinal Products (OMPs) in European Member State countries and regions, Canada, New Zealand and Australia Abstract:  This study is part of a 3-year European-funded Horizon 2020 project called IMPACT-HTA (Improved Methods and ACtionable Tools for enhancing HTA), that started in January 2018. This research sits within Work Package 10 on Appraisal of orphan medicine products (OMPs) co-led by the University of Edinburgh and Bocconi University. The overarching objective of this research is to develop guidance on novel approaches to appraising medicines to treat rare diseases or OMPs to support robust, accountable decision-making across Europe on high-cost products that have a limited evidence base with high uncertainty and intense stakeholder scrutiny. In order to achieve this, the first step is to identify and understand specific HTA appraisal processes for medicines to treat rare diseases in all EU Member States, Canada, New Zealand and Australia and to receive feedback from the users of these processes. This will be done by means of a questionnaire and follow-up questions, and will inform subsequent stages of this research. Participants involved in this study will be different stakeholders involved in specific HTA processes for medicines for rare diseases or OMPs and medicines for very rare diseases or ultra-OMP in their countries or regions. This would include HTA or government representatives, academics, industry experts, or other country experts in the field of HTA. The data collected from the questionnaire, supporting documents and follow up questions for each country or region will be compiled into a database, summarising the key features of specific HTA appraisal processes for medicines for rare diseases or OMPs and medicines for very rare diseases or ultra-OMP and their experiences with these processes. We aim to set up a living database, which will be regularly updated and validated throughout and beyond the project. Other dissemination activities about findings of this research are also planned.

description: We present new observations of the edge-on debris disk around HD 15115 (F star at 48.2 pc) obtained in the near-IR. We search for observational evidence for a second inner planetesimal ring in the system. We obtained total intensity and polarimetric data in the broad bands J and H and processed the data with differential imaging techniques achieving an angular resolution of about 40 mas. We observe an axisymmetric planetesimal belt with a radius of $\sim$2$''$, an inclination of $85.8^{\circ} \pm 0.7^{\circ}$ and position angle of 278.9$^{\circ} \pm 0.1^{\circ}$. A grid of models describing the spatial distribution of the grains in the disk is generated to constrain the geometric parameters of the disk and to explore the presence of a second belt. We perform a photometric analysis of the data and compare disk brightness in two bands in scattered and in polarized light. The analysis shows that the west side is $\sim$2.5 times brighter in total intensity than the east side in both bands, while for polarized light in the J band this ratio is only 1.25. The maximum polarization fraction is 15--20% at $r\sim$2.5$''$. We also find that the J - H color of the disk appears to be red for the radial separations $r\lesssim2''$ and is getting bluer for the larger separations. This apparent change of disk color from red to blue with an increasing radial separation could be explained by the decreasing average grain size with distance. The presence of an additional inner belt slightly inclined with respect to the main planetesimal belt is suspected from the polarized intensity image but the analysis and modeling presented here cannot establish a firm conclusion due to the faintness of the disk and its high inclination.

description: Nature of energy transport around a critical point is studied in the Creutz cellular automaton. Fourier heat law is confirmed to hold in this model by a direct measurement of heat flow under a temperature gradient. The thermal conductivity is carefully investigated near the phase transition by the use of the Kubo formula. As the result, the thermal conductivity is found to take a finite value at the critical point contrary to some previous works. Equal-time correlation of the heat flow is also analyzed by a mean-field type approximation to investigate the temperature dependence of thermal conductivity. A variant of the Creutz cellular automaton called the Q2R is also investigated and similar results are obtained.

description: Controversies around race and machine learning have sparked debate among computer scientists over how to design machine learning systems that guarantee fairness. These debates rarely engage with how racial identity is embedded in our social experience, making for sociological and psychological complexity. This complexity challenges the paradigm of considering fairness to be a formal property of supervised learning with respect to protected personal attributes. Racial identity is not simply a personal subjective quality. For people labeled "Black" it is an ascribed political category that has consequences for social differentiation embedded in systemic patterns of social inequality achieved through both social and spatial segregation. In the United States, racial classification can best be understood as a system of inherently unequal status categories that places whites as the most privileged category while signifying the Negro/black category as stigmatized. Social stigma is reinforced through the unequal distribution of societal rewards and goods along racial lines that is reinforced by state, corporate, and civic institutions and practices. This creates a dilemma for society and designers: be blind to racial group disparities and thereby reify racialized social inequality by no longer measuring systemic inequality, or be conscious of racial categories in a way that itself reifies race. We propose a third option. By preceding group fairness interventions with unsupervised learning to dynamically detect patterns of segregation, machine learning systems can mitigate the root cause of social disparities, social segregation and stratification, without further anchoring status categories of disadvantage.

description: The Mediator complex regulates gene transcription by linking basal transcriptional machinery with DNA-bound transcription factors. The activity of the Mediator complex is mainly controlled by a kinase submodule that is composed of 4 proteins, including MED12. Although ubiquitously expressed, Mediator subunits can differentially regulate gene expression in a tissue-specific manner. Here, we report that MED12 is required for normal cardiac function, such that mice with conditional cardiac-specific deletion of MED12 display progressive dilated cardiomyopathy. Loss of MED12 perturbs expression of calcium-handling genes in the heart, consequently altering calcium cycling in cardiomyocytes and disrupting cardiac electrical activity. We identified transcription factors that regulate expression of calcium-handling genes that are downregulated in the heart in the absence of MED12, and we found that MED12 localizes to transcription factor consensus sequences within calcium-handling genes. We showed that MED12 interacts with one such transcription factor, MEF2, in cardiomyocytes and that MED12 and MEF2 co-occupy promoters of calcium-handling genes. Furthermore, we demonstrated that MED12 enhances MEF2 transcriptional activity and that overexpression of both increases expression of calcium-handling genes in cardiomyocytes. Our data support a role for MED12 as a coordinator of transcription through MEF2 and other transcription factors. We conclude that MED12 is a regulator of a network of calcium-handling genes, consequently mediating contractility in the mammalian heart.

description: We present high time-resolution optical photometry of the eclipsing binary UZ For using a superconducting tunnel junction (STJ) device, a photon-counting array detector with intrinsic energy resolution. Three eclipses of the $\sim$18 mag 126.5 min orbital binary were observed using a $6\times6$ array of Tantalum STJs at the 4.2-m William Herschel Telescope on La Palma. The detector presently provides individual photon arrival time accuracy to about 5 $μ$s, and a wavelength resolution of about 60 nm at 500 nm, with each array element capable of counting up to $\sim$5000 photons s$^{-1}$. The data allow us to place accurate constraints on the accretion geometry from our time- and spectrally-resolved monitoring, especially of the eclipse ingress and egress. We find that there are two small accretion regions, located close to the poles of the white dwarf. The positions of these are accurately constrained, and show little movement from eclipse to eclipse, even over a number of years. The colour of the emission from the two regions appears similar, although their X-ray properties are known to be significantly different: we argue that the usual accretion shock may be absent at the non-X-ray emitting region, and instead the flow here interacts directly with the white dwarf surface; alternatively, a special grazing occultation of this region is required. There is no evidence for any quasi-periodic oscillations on time-scales of the order of seconds, consistent with relatively stable cyclotron cooling in each accretion region.

description: We consider front-running to be a course of action where an entity benefits from prior access to privileged market information about upcoming transactions and trades. Front-running has been an issue in financial instrument markets since the 1970s. With the advent of the blockchain technology, front-running has resurfaced in new forms we explore here, instigated by blockchains decentralized and transparent nature. In this paper, we draw from a scattered body of knowledge and instances of front-running across the top 25 most active decentral applications (DApps) deployed on Ethereum blockchain. Additionally, we carry out a detailed analysis of Status.im initial coin offering (ICO) and show evidence of abnormal miners behavior indicative of front-running token purchases. Finally, we map the proposed solutions to front-running into useful categories.

Recent pump probe experiments are interpreted in the light of these calculatons. It is proposed that, in conjunction with measurements of the phonon period in ultra-fast pump-probe reflectivity experiments, the calculated frequency shifts can be used to infer the evolution of the density of photoexcited carriers on a sub-picosecond time-scale.

description: We present an approach for performing the tallying work in the coercion-resistant JCJ voting protocol, introduced by Juels, Catalano, and Jakobsson, in linear time using fully homomorphic encryption (FHE). The suggested enhancement also paves the path towards making JCJ quantum-resistant, while leaving the underlying structure of JCJ intact. The exhaustive, comparison-based approach of JCJ using plaintext equivalence tests leads to a quadratic blow-up in the number of votes, which makes the tallying process rather impractical in realistic settings with a large number of voters. We show how the removal of invalid votes can be done in linear time via a solution based on recent advances in various FHE primitives such as hashing, zero-knowledge proofs of correct decryption, verifiable shuffles and threshold FHE. We conclude by touching upon some of the advantages and challenges of such an approach, followed by a discussion of further security and post-quantum considerations.

description: This paper introduces the software TiGL: TiGL is an open source high-fidelity geometry modeler that is used in the conceptual and preliminary aircraft and helicopter design phase. It creates full three-dimensional models of aircraft from their parametric CPACS description. Due to its parametric nature, it is typically used for aircraft design analysis and optimization. First, we present the use-case and architecture of TiGL. Then, we discuss it's geometry module, which is used to generate the B-spline based surfaces of the aircraft. The backbone of TiGL is its surface generator for curve network interpolation, based on Gordon surfaces. One major part of this paper explains the mathematical foundation of Gordon surfaces on B-splines and how we achieve the required curve network compatibility. Finally, TiGL's aircraft component module is introduced, which is used to create the external and internal parts of aircraft, such as wings, flaps, fuselages, engines or structural elements.

description: What are the mechanisms leading to the shape relaxation of three dimensional crystallites ? Kinetic Monte Carlo simulations of fcc clusters show that the usual theories of equilibration, via atomic surface diffusion driven by curvature, are verified only at high temperatures. Below the roughening temperature, the relaxation is much slower, kinetics being governed by the nucleation of a critical germ on a facet. We show that the energy barrier for this step linearly increases with the size of the crystallite, leading to an exponential dependence of the relaxation time.

Deletion of DGCR8 in VSMCs of adult mice results in loss of vascular reactivity, reduced blood pressure and neointima formation

description: DiGeorge syndrome chromosomal region 8 (DGCR8), a double-stranded-RNA-binding protein,
participates in the miRNA biogenesis pathway and contributes to miRNA maturation by interacting
with the RNAase III enzyme Drosha in cell nuclei. To investigate the role of DGCR8 in vascular smooth
muscle cells (VSMCs) at the postnatal stages, we generated tamoxifen-inducible VSMC specific
knockout (iKO) mice by crossing DGCR8loxp/loxp with VSMC specific tamoxifen-inducible Cre transgenic
mice SMA-Cre-ERT2. DGCR8iKO mice display reduced body weight one month following tamoxifen
treatment and died around 3 months. Blood pressure and vascular reactivity were significantly
reduced in DGCR8iKO mice compared to control. Furthermore, loss of DGCR8 in VSMCs inhibited cell
proliferation, migration and neointima formation. VSMC differentiation marker genes, including SMA
and SM22, were downregulated in DGCR8 iKO mice. The majority of miRNAs were downregulated in
DGCR8iKO mice. Disruption of the DGCR8-mediated miRNA biogenesis pathway attenuated multiple
signaling pathways including ERK1/2 and AKT. Our results demonstrate that the DGCR8-mediated
miRNA pathway is required for maintaining blood pressure, vascular reactivity and vascular wall
remodeling at the postnatal stages.

description: In cold, dense quark matter, quarks of different flavor can form Cooper pairs which are anti-triplets under color and have total spin J=0. The transition to a phase where strange quarks condense with either up or down quarks is driven first order by the Coleman-Weinberg mechanism. At densities sufficiently high to (effectively) restore the axial U(1) symmetry, then relative to the ordinary vacuum, the condensation of up with down quarks (effectively) breaks parity spontaneously.

description: The behaviour of the large-scale dipolar field, during a star's magnetic cycle, can provide valuable insight into the stellar dynamo and associated magnetic field manifestations such as stellar winds. We investigate the temporal evolution of the dipolar field of the K dwarf 61 Cyg A using spectropolarimetric observations covering nearly one magnetic cycle equivalent to two chromospheric activity cycles. The large-scale magnetic field geometry is reconstructed using Zeeman Doppler imaging, a tomographic inversion technique. Additionally, the chromospheric activity is also monitored. The observations provide an unprecedented sampling of the large-scale field over a single magnetic cycle of a star other than the Sun. Our results show that 61 Cyg A has a dominant dipolar geometry except at chromospheric activity maximum. The dipole axis migrates from the southern to the northern hemisphere during the magnetic cycle. It is located at higher latitudes at chromospheric activity cycle minimum and at middle latitudes during cycle maximum. The dipole is strongest at activity cycle minimum and much weaker at activity cycle maximum. The behaviour of the large-scale dipolar field during the magnetic cycle resembles the solar magnetic cycle. Our results are further confirmation that 61 Cyg A indeed has a large-scale magnetic geometry that is comparable to the Sun's, despite being a slightly older and cooler K dwarf.

description: I give a brief introduction to Luttinger liquids. Luttinger liquids are paramagnetic one-dimensional metals without Landau quasi-particle excitations. The elementary excitations are collective charge and spin modes, leading to charge-spin separation. Correlation functions exhibit power-law behavior. All physical properties can be calculated, e.g. by bosonization, and depend on three parameters only: the renormalized coupling constant $K_ρ$, and the charge and spin velocities. I also discuss the stability of Luttinger liquids with respect to temperature, interchain coupling, lattice effects and phonons, and list important open problems.

description: Micropeptide regulator of β-oxidation (MOXI) is a conserved muscle-enriched protein encoded by an RNA transcript misannotated as non-coding. MOXI localizes to the inner mitochondrial membrane where it associates with the mitochondrial trifunctional protein, an enzyme complex that plays a critical role in fatty acid β-oxidation. Isolated heart and skeletal muscle mitochondria from MOXI knockout mice exhibit a diminished ability to metabolize fatty acids, while transgenic MOXI overexpression leads to enhanced β-oxidation. Additionally, hearts from MOXI knockout mice preferentially oxidize carbohydrates over fatty acids in an isolated perfused heart system compared to wild-type (WT) animals. MOXI knockout mice also exhibit a profound reduction in exercise capacity, highlighting the role of MOXI in metabolic control. The functional characterization of MOXI provides insight into the regulation of mitochondrial metabolism and energy homeostasis and underscores the regulatory potential of additional micropeptides that have yet to be identified.

description: Two-dimensional (2D) materials provide an ideal platform to explore novel superconducting behavior including Ising superconductivity, topological superconductivity and Majorana bound states in different 2D stoichiometric Ta-, Nb-, and Fe-based crystals. However, tuning the element content in 2D compounds for regulating their superconductivity has not been realized. In this work, we report the synthesis of high quality Fe1+yTe with tunable Fe content by chemical vapor deposition (CVD). The quality and composition of Fe1+yTe are characterized by Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM). The superconducting behavior of Fe1+yTe crystals with varying Fe contents is observed. The superconducting transition of selected Fe1.13Te sample is sharp (ΔTc = 1 K), while Fe1.43Te with a high-Fe content shows a relative broad superconducting transition (ΔTc = 2.6 K) at zero magnetic field. Significantly, the conspicuous vortex flow and a transition from a 3D vortex liquid state to a 2D vortex liquid state is observed in Fe1.43Te sample. Our work highlights the tunability of the superconducting properties of Fe1+yTe and sheds light on the vortex dynamics in Fe-based superconductors, which facilitates us to understand the intrinsic mechanisms of high-temperature superconductivity.
