A Deep Look at the Ultra-Faint Milky Way Satellite Virgo III with Rubin Observatory Data Preview 2

We analyze the ultra-faint Milky Way satellite Virgo III using data from the Vera C. Rubin Observatory Data Preview 2 (DP2). Virgo III was observed in the Rubin “Cosmic Treasure Chest” (M49) First Look field, which contains 924 visits in the u,g,r,i bands comprising ~10.5hrs of e...

pynucastro 3: A community library for nuclear astrophysics

We describe the latest release of pynucastro: a community python library for nuclear astrophysics. The goal of the pynucastro project is to build the tools needed to interactively explore nuclear properties, reaction rates, and networks, and to export these networks to a variety...

Penultimate-slot constraints in short Indus inscriptions: a pre-specified test and open tools

This record is a study protocol and software description. It reports no empirical results. Short Indus seal inscriptions show strong positional regularities, but whether these reflect language, emblematic labelling or an administrative code is unresolved. We specify a test of one...

A Consistent Implementation of Cluster Strong Lensing in Cosmological Simulation Light Cones

Galaxy cluster strong gravitational lensing plays a central role in precision cosmology, yet robust theoretical predictions have lagged behind an abundance of high-quality strong lensing observations. This shortfall reflects both a mismatch between the geometry of the strong-lens...

Phlegethon: a fully compressible magnetohydrodynamic code for simulations in stellar astrophysics

We present PHLEGETHON, a fully compressible, Eulerian magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) code designed for multidimensional simulations in stellar astrophysics. The code uses a time-explicit, second-order, finite-volume method optimized to model a wide range of dynamical processes in star...

The impact of source and survey modelling on the connection between [O III] emitters and Ly α forest transmission at z ~ 6

James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) surveys of [O III]-emitting galaxies are offering fresh insight into the connection between galaxies and the intergalactic medium at redshift z ~ 6. Recent measurements of the cross-correlation between [O III]-emitting galaxies and Ly α forest tr...

Quantitative Bridge or Black Box? A Practice-Based Framework for Statistical Programming Contributions to Population Pharmacokinetic/ Pharmacodynamic Modeling in Regulatory Drug Development

Population pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) modeling now sits at the center of model-informed drug development (MIDD), shaping dose selection, labeling language, and regulatory submissions across therapeutic areas. Less attention goes to the statistical and clinical progra...

Kinematics of the Weak Cool-Core Cluster A3571 Observed with XRISM: Low Cooling Rate Balanced by Low Heating Rate?

Most XRISM galaxy cluster observations to date have focused on AGN feedback or actively merging systems. The weak cool-core cluster A3571 was observed in four XRISM Cycle 1 pointings, enabling the study of gas kinematics in a relaxed, AGN-feedback-free system. We present measurem...

Construction and characterisation of the DarkSide-20k veto silicon photo-multiplier tiles

Abstract Silicon photo-multipliers (SiPMs) are state-of-the-art sensors capable of detecting a single photoelectron under cryogenic conditions, with potentially lower radioactivity than widely used photomultiplier tubes. The DarkSide-20k experiment, designed to perform direct dar...

The Cosmological Simulation Code OpenGadget3 - Implementation of Self-Interacting Dark Matter

Dark matter (DM) could be subject to non-gravitational self-interactions which is relevant to resolve potential problems of cold DM on small scales. Their impact on astrophysical objects such as galaxies and galaxy clusters allows for constraining the strength of this scattering...

2025 AHA/ACC blood pressure guideline and HEARTS 2.0: implications for the future evolution of integrated cardiovascular–kidney–metabolic care in the Americas

ABSTRACT Hypertension is the leading modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular disease. In 2025, two major evidence-based frameworks evolved in parallel: HEARTS 2.0, an implementation-oriented clinical pathway for integrated cardiovascular–kidney–metabolic (CKM) care through prim...

Weak-lensing Shear-Selected Galaxy Clusters from the Hyper Suprime-Cam Subaru Strategic Program: III. A precision cosmological sample enabled by optical confirmation

We develop fCAMIRA (forced-mode CAMIRA), a tool for optical cluster confirmation, and apply it to a sample of 129 weak-lensing (WL) shear-selected galaxy clusters identified in aperture-mass maps obtained from the Hyper Suprime-Cam Subaru Strategic Program Three-Year (HSC-SSP Y3)...

Charting the Phenotypic Landscape of FBN1 Variants in Marfan Syndrome With Ectopia Lentis Through Extreme Phenotype Sampling

Purpose: Phenotypic heterogeneity is a hallmark of Marfan syndrome (MFS) with ectopia lentis (EL), yet genotype-phenotype correlations for ocular traits remain incompletely understood. This study aimed to identify genomic determinants of extreme ocular phenotypes using a combined...

The Carousel Lens I: A Spectroscopic Survey of the Carousel Lens Field

We present a spectroscopic survey of field galaxies and lensed sources in the vicinity of the strong lensing galaxy cluster known as the Carousel lens at z=0.49. Using both Gemini/GMOS slitmask spectra and deep VLT/MUSE observations, we bring the total number of lensed sources up...

The quenching time and timescale distribution of z~2 quiescent galaxies from precise colour distribution analysis

Understanding when and how galaxies quench their star formation is crucial for understanding the dominant physical processes at play. The spectral energy distribution (SED) of galaxies encodes significant information on their past histories: the relative importance of different p...

On the resistance regular graphs

For a connected graph G, its resistance distance matrix is denoted by R(G). A graph is called resistance regular if all the row (or column) sums of R(G) are equal. We provide a necessary and sufficient condition for a simple connected graph to be resistance regular. Additionally,...

The Third Option: Color Phase Curves to Characterize the Atmospheres of Temperate Rocky Exoplanets

Detecting and characterizing the atmospheres of rocky exoplanets has proven to be challenging for JWST. Transit spectroscopy of the TRAPPIST-1 planets has been impacted by the effects of spots and faculae on the host star. Secondary eclipses have detected hot rocks, but evidence...

GEOMETRIC PROPORTIONING OF THE WIDEST GOTHIC NAVE: BLONDEL'S RULE AND THE BUTTRESS SYSTEM OF GIRONA CATHEDRAL

The Cathedral of Santa Maria of Girona contains the widest uninterrupted Gothic stone-vaulted nave ever constructed, with a clear span of 22.98 m. This exceptional dimension raises a fundamental question regarding the proportional and geometric logic through which medieval builde...

Variance Polygenic Scores (vPGS) as a Tool for Studying Gene-Environment Interactions Associated With Refractive Error

Abstract Purpose Conventional polygenic scores predict an individual’s phenotype based on their genetics. By contrast, variance polygenic scores (vPGS) quantify genetic predisposition to phenotypic variance. We tested the hypothesis that a vPGS for refractive error can identify i...
