<raptop> That's certainly a paper title https://arxiv.org/abs/2305.13400
<galois> [arXiv] “Ponderings on the Possible Preponderance of Perpendicular Planets” Jared Siegel, Joshua Winn, Simon Albrecht — «Misalignments between planetary orbits and the equatorial planes of their host stars are clues about the formation and evolution of planetary systems. Earlier work found evidence for a peak near $90^\circ$ in the distribution of stellar obliquities, based on frequentist tests. We performed hierarchical Bayesian…»

<galois> [arXiv] “MoBiDICT: new 3D static models of close, synchronized binaries in hydrostatic equilibrium” L. Fellay, M. -A. Dupret — «In close binary systems, tidal interactions and rotational effects can strongly influence stellar evolution as a result of mass-transfer, common envelope phases, ... All these aspects can only be treated following improvements of theoretical models, taking into account the breaking of spherical…»

<galois> [arXiv] “Indirect Detection of Decaying Dark Matter with High Angular Resolution: Case for axion search by IRCS at Subaru Telescope” Wen Yin, Kohei Hayashi — «Recent advances in cosmic-ray detectors have provided exceptional sensitivities of dark matter with high angular resolution. Motivated by this, we present a comprehensive study of cosmic-ray flux from dark matter decay in dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSphs), with a focus on…»
<raptop> cursed realization that anxiety is the main reason I'm making any progress with this thesis
<SnoopJ> :(
<raptop> So yeah, I want to get this over and done with, but it's a struggle. And then for further career actions and socializing... >.<

<raptop> insert comment about bacteria terraforming early earth here? https://arxiv.org/abs/2305.13345
<galois> [arXiv] “Isotopic constraints on lightning as a source of fixed nitrogen in Earth's early biosphere” Patrick Barth, Eva E. Stüeken, Christiane Helling et al. — «Bioavailable nitrogen is thought to be a requirement for the origin and sustenance of life. Before the onset of biological nitrogen fixation, abiotic pathways to fix atmospheric N2 must have been prominent to provide bioavailable nitrogen to Earth's earliest…»

<galois> [arXiv] “Provably convergent Newton-Raphson methods for recovering primitive variables with applications to physical-constraint-preserving Hermite WENO schemes for relativistic hydrodynamics” Chaoyi Cai, Jianxian Qiu, Kailiang Wu — «The relativistic hydrodynamics (RHD) equations have three crucial intrinsic physical constraints on the primitive variables: positivity of pressure and density, and subluminal fluid velocity.…»

<galois> [arXiv] “The First AGILE Solar Flare Catalog” Alessandro Ursi, Nicolò Parmiggiani, Mauro Messerotti et al. — «We report the Astrorivelatore Gamma ad Immagini LEggero (AGILE) observations of solar flares, detected by the on board anticoincidence system in the 80-200 keV energy range, from 2007 May 1st to 2022 August 31st. In more than 15 yr, AGILE detected 5003 X-ray, minute-lasting transients, compatible with a solar origin. A…»
<WeylandsWings> raptop: intesresting question, would you consider the JWST a sparse aperture telescope as each mirror is practically an independent aperture
