[arXiv] “POSYDON Version 2: Population Synthesis with Detailed Binary-Evolution Simulations across a Cosmological Range of Metallicities” Jeff J. Andrews, Simone S. Bavera, Max Briel et al. — «Whether considering rare astrophysical events on cosmological scales or unresolved stellar populations, accurate models must account for the integrated contribution from the entire history of star formation upon which that population is…»

[arXiv] “Time transformation between the solar system barycenter and the surfaces of the Earth and Moon” Slava G. Turyshev, James G. Williams, Dale H. Boggs et al. — «Time transformation between the geocentric, solar system barycentric, and luni-centric coordinate reference systems requires relativistic corrections to account for differences in gravitational potential and relative motion. To maintain consistency with…»

[arXiv] “A proposed signal discovery method in interstellar communication” William J. Crilly Jr — «Experiments conducted since 2018, using three geographically spaced synchronized radio telescopes, and a radio interferometer, indicate the presence of anomalous narrow bandwidth pulse pairs, conjectured to be sourced from a celestial direction near the star Rigel. Many explanatory hypotheses are possible. In the current work, a…»

[arXiv] “NEOviz: Uncertainty-Driven Visual Analysis of Asteroid Trajectories” Fangfei Lan, Malin Ejdbo, Joachim Moeyens et al. — «We introduce NEOviz, an interactive visualization system designed to assist planetary defense experts in the visual analysis of the movements of near-Earth objects in the Solar System that might prove hazardous to Earth. Asteroids are often discovered using optical telescopes and their trajectories are…»

[arXiv] “JWST COMPASS: The first near- to mid-infrared transmission spectrum of the hot super-Earth L 168-9 b” Munazza K. Alam, Peter Gao, Jea Adams Redai et al. — «We present the first broadband near- to mid-infrared (3-12 microns) transmission spectrum of the highly-irradiated (T_eq = 981 K) M dwarf rocky planet L 168-9 b (TOI-134 b) observed with the NIRSpec and MIRI instruments aboard JWST. We measure the near-infrared…»

[arXiv] “A Civilian Astronomer's Guide to UAP Research” Beatriz Villarroel, Kevin Krisciunas — «Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) have historically been stigmatized and regarded as pseudoscience due to a general lack of robust evidence. Recently, however, the subject has gained interest among astronomers and the military. This review explores how astronomers can enhance our understanding of these enigmatic phenomena by…»

[arXiv] “The Wide Field Monitor (WFM) of the China-Europe eXTP (enhanced X-ray Timing and Polarimetry) mission” Margarita Hernanz, Marco Feroci, Yuri Evangelista et al. — «The eXTP mission is a major project of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), with a large involvement of Europe. Its scientific payload includes four instruments: SFA, PFA, LAD and WFM. They offer an unprecedented simultaneous wide-band Xray timing and…»

[arXiv] “A comparison of solar and stellar coronagraphs that make use of external occulters” Claude Aime, Céline Theys, Simon Prunet et al. — «Solar and stellar externally occulted coronagraphs share similar concepts, but are actually very different because of geometric characteristics. Solar occulters were first developed with a simple geometric model of diffraction perpendicular to the occulter edges. We apply this mere…»

[arXiv] “A-STEP: The AstroPix Sounding Rocket Technology Demonstration Payload” Daniel P. Violette, Amanda Steinhebel, Abhradeep Roy et al. — «A next-generation medium-energy (100 keV to 100 MeV) gamma-ray observatory will greatly enhance the identification and characterization of multimessenger sources in the coming decade. Coupling gamma-ray spectroscopy, imaging, and polarization to neutrino and gravitational wave detections…»

[arXiv] “How the StarDICE photometric calibration of standard stars can improve cosmological constraints?” T. Souverin, J. Neveu, M. Betoule et al. — «The number of type Ia supernova (SNe Ia) observations will grow significantly within the next decade, mainly thanks to the Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) undertaken by the Vera Rubin Observatory in Chile. With this improvement, statistical uncertainties will decrease, and…»

[arXiv] “Optical evolution of AT 2024wpp: the high-velocity outflows in Cow-like transients are consistent with high spherical symmetry” M. Pursiainen, T. L. Killestein, H. Kuncarayakti et al. — «We present the analysis of optical data of a bright and extremely-rapidly evolving transient, AT2024wpp, whose properties are similar to the enigmatic AT2018cow (aka the Cow). AT2024wpp rose to a peak brightness of c=-21.9mag in 4.3d…»
