<galois> [arXiv] “Badminton Birdie-Like Aerodynamic Alignment of Drifting Dust Grains by Subsonic Gaseous Flows in Protoplanetary Disks” Zhe-Yu Daniel Lin, Zhi-Yun Li, Haifeng Yang et al. — «Recent (sub)millimeter polarization observations of protoplanetary disks reveal toroidally aligned, effectively prolate dust grains large enough (at least ~100 $\mu$m) to efficiently scatter millimeter light. The alignment mechanism for these grains…»

<galois> [arXiv] “Astro-COLIBRI: Empowering Citizen Scientists in Time Domain Astronomy” Fabian Schüssler, M. de Bony de Lavergne, A. Kaan Alkan et al. — «In recent decades, astronomy and astrophysics have experienced several fundamental changes. On one hand, there has been a significant increase in the observation of transient phenomena, which are short-lived events such as supernova explosions, fast radio bursts, and gamma-ray bursts.…»

<galois> [arXiv] “Molecular clouds: do they deserve a non-Gaussian description?” Pablo Richard, Erwan Allys, François Levrier et al. — «Molecular clouds show complex structures reflecting their non-linear dynamics. Many studies, investigating the bridge between their morphology and physical properties, have shown the interest provided by non-Gaussian higher-order statistics to grasp physical information. Yet, as this bridge is usually…»
