We investigate the large-scale clustering of the final spectroscopic sample of quasars from the recently completed extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (eBOSS). The sample contains 343 708 objects in the redshift range 0.8 < z < 2.2 and 72 667 objects with redshifts 2.2 < z < 3.5, covering an effective area of $4699\, {\rm deg}^{2}$. We develop a neural network-based approach to mitigate spurious fluctuations in the density field caused by spatial variations in the quality of the imaging data used to select targets for follow-up spectroscopy. Simulations are used with the same angular and radial distributions as the real data to estimate covariance matrices, perform error analyses, and assess residual systematic uncertainties. We measure the mean density contrast and cross-correlations of the eBOSS quasars against maps of potential sources of imaging systematics to address algorithm effectiveness, finding that the neural network-based approach outperforms standard linear regression. Stellar density is one of the most important sources of spurious fluctuations, and a new template constructed using data from the Gaia spacecraft provides the best match to the observed quasar clustering. The end-product from this work is a new value-added quasar catalogue with the improved weights to correct for non-linear imaging systematic effects, which will be made public. Our quasar catalogue is used to measure the local-type primordial non-Gaussianity in a companion paper.

Automated Python module for the design and quantization of Josephson quantum circuits. pyEPR is an open source, BSD-licensed library providing high-efficiency, easy-to-use analysis functions and automation for the design of quantum chips based on superconducting quantum circuits, both distributed and lumped. pyEPR interfaces the classical distributed microwave analysis with that of quantum structures and Hamiltonians. It is chiefly based on the energy participation ratio approach; however, it has since v0.4 extended to cover a broad range of design approaches. pyEPR stradels the analysis from Maxwell’s to Schrodinger’s equations, and converts the solutions of distributed microwve (typically eignmode simulations) to a fully diagonalized spectrum of the energy levels, couplings, and key parameters of a many-body quantum Hamiltonian. pyEPR contains both analytic and numeric solutions.

Using cosmic-ray boron to carbon ratio (B/C) data recently released by the Ams-02 experiment, we find indications (decisive evidence, in Bayesian terms) in favor of a diffusive propagation origin for the broken power-law spectra found in protons (p ) and helium nuclei (He). The result is robust with respect to currently estimated uncertainties in the cross sections, and in the presence of a small component of primary boron, expected because of spallation at the acceleration site. Reduced errors at high energy as well as further cosmic ray nuclei data (as absolute spectra of C, N, O, Li, Be) may definitively confirm this scenario.

Neutron stars are born out of core-collapse supernovae, and they are imparted natal kicks at birth as a consequence of asymmetric ejection of matter and possibly neutrinos. Unless the force resulting from the kicks is exerted exactly at their center, it will also cause the neutron star to rotate. In this paper, we discuss the possibility that neutron stars may receive off-center natal kicks at birth, which imprint a natal rotation. In this scenario, the observed pulsar spin and transverse velocity in the Galaxy are expected to correlate. We develop a model of the natal rotation imparted to neutron stars and constrain it by the observed population of pulsars in our Galaxy. When considering a single-kick position parameter, we find that the location of the off-center kick is ${R}_{\mathrm{kick}}={2.03}_{-1.69}^{+3.74}$ km at 90% confidence, and is robust when considering pulsars with different observed periods, transverse velocities, and ages. Nonetheless, the model encounters challenges in effectively fitting the data, particularly at small transverse velocities, prompting the exploration of alternative models that include more complex physics. Our framework could be used as a guide for core-collapse simulations of massive stars.

Tidal disruption and subsequent accretion of planetesimals by white dwarfs can reveal the elemental abundances of rocky bodies in exoplanetary systems. Those abundances provide information on the composition of the nebula from which the systems formed, which is analogous to how meteorite abundances inform our understanding of the early Solar System. We report the detection of lithium, sodium, potassium, and calcium in the atmosphere of the white dwarf Gaia DR2 4353607450860305024, which we ascribe to the accretion of a planetesimal. Using model atmospheres, we determine abundance ratios of these elements, and, with the exception of lithium, they are consistent with meteoritic values in the Solar System. We compare the measured lithium abundance with measurements in old stars and with expectations from Big Bang nucleosynthesis.

The objects that emit extragalatic fast radio bursts (FRBs) remain unidentified. Studies of the host galaxies and environments of accurately localised ($\lesssim1$ arcsec) FRBs promise to deliver critical insights into the nature of their progenitors. Here we demonstrate the effects of observational selection biases on analyses of the distributions of FRB host-galaxy properties (including star-formation rate, SFR, and stellar mass, $M_{*}$), and on the distributions of FRB offsets from the centres of their hosts. We consider the effects of "radio selection", wherein FRBs with larger dispersion measures and scattering timescales are less likely to be detected, and the effects of "optical selection", wherein FRBs with fainter host galaxies are more likely to have unidentified or mis-identified hosts. We develop a plausible, illustrative model for these effects in observations of FRBs and their host galaxies by combining the output catalogues of a semi-analytic galaxy formation model with a recently developed algorithm to associate FRBs with host galaxies (PATH). We find that optical selection biases are most important for the host-galaxy $M_{*}$ and SFR distributions, and that radio selection biases are most important for the distribution of FRB projected physical offsets. For our fiducial simulation of FRBs at $z<0.5$, the selection biases cause the median host-galaxy SFR to be increased by $\sim0.3$ dex, and the median $M_{*}$ by $\sim0.5$ dex. The median projected physical offset is increased by $\sim2$ kpc ($\sim0.25$ dex). These effects are sufficiently large so as to merit careful consideration in studies of localised FRBs, and our simulations provide a guide towards their mitigation.

Short-lived intermittent phases of super-critical (super-Eddington) growth, coupled with star formation via positive feedback, may account for early growth of massive black holes (MBH) and coevolution with their host spheroids. We estimate the possible growth rates and duty cycles of these episodes, both assuming slim accretion disk solutions and adopting the results of recent numerical simulations. The angular momentum of gas joining the accretion disk determines the length of the accretion episodes and the final mass that an MBH can reach. The latter can be related to the gas velocity dispersion and, in galaxies with low-angular momentum gas, the MBH can reach a higher mass. When the host galaxy is able to sustain inflow rates at 1-100 {{M}<SUB>⊙ </SUB>} y{{r}<SUP>-1</SUP>}, replenishing and circulation lead to a sequence of short (∼ {{10}<SUP>4</SUP>}-{{10}<SUP>7</SUP>} yr), heavily obscured accretion episodes that increase the growth rates, with respect to an Eddington-limited case, by several orders of magnitude. Our model predicts that the ratio of the MBH accretion rate-to-star formation rate is 10<SUP>-2</SUP> or higher, leading, at early epochs, to a ratio of MBH-to-stellar mass that is higher than the “canonical” value of ∼ {{10}<SUP>-3</SUP>}, which is in agreement with current observations. Our model makes specific predictions that long-lived super-critical accretion occurs only in galaxies with copious low-angular momentum gas, and, in this case, the MBH is more massive at a fixed velocity dispersion.

Self-gravity plays an important role in the evolution of rotationally supported systems such as protoplanetary discs, accretion discs around black holes, or galactic discs, as it can both feed turbulence and lead to gravitational fragmentation. While such systems can be studied in the shearing box approximation with high local resolution, the large density contrasts that are possible in the case of fragmentation still limit the utility of Eulerian codes with constant spatial resolution. In this paper, we present a novel self-gravity solver for the shearing box based on the TreePM method of the moving-mesh code AREPO. The spatial gravitational resolution is adaptive, which is important to make full use of the quasi-Lagrangian hydrodynamical resolution of the code. We apply our new implementation to two- and three-dimensional, self-gravitating discs combined with a simple β-cooling prescription. For weak cooling we find a steady, gravito-turbulent state, while for strong cooling the formation of fragments is inevitable. To reach convergence for the critical cooling efficiency above which fragmentation occurs, we require a smoothing of the gravitational force in the two-dimensional case that mimics the stratification of the three-dimensional simulations. The critical cooling efficiency we find, β ≈ 3, as well as the box-averaged quantities characterizing the gravito-turbulent state, agrees well with various previous results in the literature. Interestingly, we observe stochastic fragmentation for β &gt; 3, which slightly decreases the cooling efficiency required to observe fragmentation over the lifetime of a protoplanetary disc. The numerical method outlined here appears well suited to study the problem of galactic discs as well as the magnetized, self-gravitating discs.

This upload contains the data and code used for our Fast Radio Burst forecast, constraining reionization and cosmological parameters (arXiv:2107.14242). The data includes both, the generated synthetic observations, as well as the Nested Sampling chains used to produce the results and figures. The minimal set to run the analysis (FlexKnotFRB-small) takes up 6.5 GB (uncompressed) of disk space and can be used to reproduce everything except the high-resolution version of Figure 3. (That version can also be reproduce but would take ~24h.) The full set (FlexKnotFRB-full) takes 31 GB and contains pre-computed cache files allowing to regenerate all paper plots quickly (<<1h). Finally the extra chains which contain additional runs with different seeds and a run with different priors take 68 GB of disk space uncompressed. The most recent code (but not the Nested Sampling chains) is also available on GitHub.

Accreting stellar mass black holes (BHs) routinely exhibit Type-C quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs). These are often interpreted as Lense-Thirring precession of the inner accretion flow, a relativistic effect whereby the spin of the BH distorts the surrounding space-time, inducing nodal precession. The best evidence for the precession model is the recent discovery, using a long joint XMM-Newton and NuSTAR observation of H 1743-322, that the centroid energy of the iron florescence line changes systematically with QPO phase. This was interpreted as the inner flow illuminating different azimuths of the accretion disc as it precesses, giving rise to a blueshifted/redshifted iron line when the approaching/receding disc material is illuminated. Here, we develop a physical model for this interpretation, including a self-consistent reflection continuum, and fit this to the same H 1743-322 data. We use an analytic function to parametrize the asymmetric illumination pattern on the disc surface that would result from inner flow precession, and find that the data are well described if two bright patches rotate about the disc surface. This model is preferred to alternatives considering an oscillating disc ionization parameter, disc inner radius and radial emissivity profile. We find that the reflection fraction varies with QPO phase (3.5σ), adding to the now formidable body of evidence that Type-C QPOs are a geometric effect.

The intrinsically 3D structure of the fully convective RSG envelope yields key differences in the brightness and duration of the shock breakout (SBO) from that predicted in a 1D stellar model. First, the lower-density "halo" of material outside of the traditional photosphere in 3D models leads to a shock breakout at lower densities than 1D models. This would prolong the duration of the shock breakout flash at any given location on the surface to ≈1-2 hr. However, we find that the even larger impact is the intrinsically 3D effect associated with large-scale fluctuations in density that cause the shock to break out at different radii at different times. This substantially prolongs the SBO duration to ≈3-6 hr and implies a diversity of radiative temperatures, as different patches across the stellar surface are at different stages of their radiative breakout and cooling at any given time. These predicted durations are in better agreement with existing observations of SBO. The longer durations lower the predicted luminosities by a factor of 3-10 (L <SUB>bol</SUB> ~ 10<SUP>44</SUP> erg s<SUP>-1</SUP>), and we derive the new scalings of brightness and duration with explosion energies and stellar properties. These intrinsically 3D properties eliminate the possibility of using observed rise times to measure the stellar radius via light-travel time effects.

The Vertical City Weather Generator (VCWG) is a software that predicts the urban microclimate in relation to a nearby rural climate given the urban characteristics. VCWG predicts vertical proles of temperature, wind speed, humidity, and turbulence kinetic energy as well as the building energy performance in an urban area. More details on the model can be found at the Atmospheric Innovations Research (AIR) laboratory website at www.aaa-scientists.com. To run the VCWG, it is required to put the weather le (*.epw) of the region of interest in the directory e.g. "Resources/epw/Basel_BUBBLE.epw". This file can be downloaded from EnergyPlus (https://energyplus.net/). The VCWG can take input parameters from the file located in the directory e.g. "resources/parameters/initialize Basel". This file contains the required parameters of the case study including urban characteristics, vegetation parameters, view factors, and simulation parameters. The user is able to change the parameters to define and run a simulation of interest. If desired, new view factors can be obtained by running "UWG/Run RayTracing.py" and copy and paste the results from le e.g. \UWG/ViewFactor BASEL.txt" into the input file e.g. "resources/parameters/initialize Basel". In the python file "VCWG/VCWGv1.3.2.py" located in the main directory, the user is required to change the name of weather file and the name of the initialization file to the ones located in the directories of "resources/epw" and "resources/parameters/", respectively. Once the user runs "VCWG/VCWGv1.3.2.py", the simulation will start. Depending on the simulation parameters, it takes a few minutes to generate the output files located in the "Output" directory. It is recommended to discard the first 24 hours of simulation as spin-up period while considering results after this period. "VCWGv1.3.2.py" is designed to run on Python 2.7.13. This version of Python can be downloaded from "https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-2713/". For example for a 64-bit Windows operating system the installation file will be "python-2.7.13.amd64". The following packages and versions can be used: numpy 1.14.3, scipy 1.1.0, matplotlib 2.2.2. Note that other packages may also work. "UWG/Run RayTracing.py" is designed to run on Python 3.6.1. This version of Python can be downloaded from "https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-361/". For example for a 64-bit Windows operating system the installation file will be "python-3.6.1-amd64". The following packages and versions can be used: numpy 1.19.5, scipy 1.1.0, matplotlib 3.1.1.

The near-Earth (within ∼100 pc) supernova explosions in the past several million years can cause the global deposition of radioactive elements (e.g., <SUP>60</SUP>Fe) on Earth. The remnants of such supernovae are too old to be easily identified. It is therefore of great interest to search for million-year-old near-Earth neutron stars or black holes, the products of supernovae. However, neutron stars and black holes are challenging to find even in our Solar neighbourhood if they are not radio pulsars or X-ray/γ-ray emitters. Here we report the discovery of one of the nearest (127.7 ± 0.3 pc) neutron star candidates in a detached single-lined spectroscopic binary LAMOST J235456.73+335625.9 (hereafter J2354). Utilizing the time-resolved ground-based spectroscopy and space photometry, we find that J2354 hosts an unseen compact object with M<SUB>inv</SUB> being 1.4-1.6 M<SUB>⊙</SUB>. The follow-up Swift ultraviolet (UV) and X-ray observations suggest that the UV and X-ray emission is produced by the visible star rather than the compact object. Hence, J2354 probably harbours a neutron star rather than a hot ultramassive white dwarf. Two-hour exceptionally sensitive radio follow-up observations with Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope fail to reveal any pulsating radio signals at the 6σ flux upper limit of 12.5 µJy. Therefore, the neutron star candidate in J2354 can only be revealed via our time-resolved observations. Interestingly, the distance between J2354 and our Earth can be as close as ∼ 50 pc around 2.5 million years (Myrs) ago, as revealed by the Gaia kinematics. Our discovery demonstrates a promising way to unveil the hidden near-Earth neutron stars in binaries by exploring the optical time domain, thereby facilitating understanding of the metal-enrichment history in our Solar neighbourhood.

We present position-position-velocity (PPV) cubes of the physical and chemical properties of the molecular medium in the central 1.2 kpc region of the active galaxy NGC 613 at a PPV resolution of 0.″8 × 0.″8 × 10 km s<SUP>-1</SUP> (0.″8 = ~68 pc). We used eight molecular lines (<SUP>13</SUP>CO(1-0), C<SUP>18</SUP>O(1-0), HCN(1-0), HCO<SUP>+</SUP>(1-0), CS(2-1), HCN(4-3), HCO<SUP>+</SUP>(4-3), and CS(7-6)) obtained with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array. Non-LTE calculation with hierarchical Bayesian inference was used to construct PPV cubes of the gas kinetic temperature (T <SUB>kin</SUB>), molecular hydrogen volume density ( ${n}_{{{\rm{H}}}_{2}}$ ), column densities ( ${N}_{{{\rm{H}}}_{2}}$ ), and fractional abundances of four molecules (<SUP>12</SUP>C<SUP>18</SUP>O, HCN, HCO<SUP>+</SUP>, and CS). The derived ${n}_{{{\rm{H}}}_{2}}$ , ${N}_{{{\rm{H}}}_{2}}$ , and T <SUB>kin</SUB> ranged from 10<SUP>3.21-3.85</SUP> cm<SUP>-3</SUP>, 10<SUP>20.8-22.1</SUP> cm<SUP>-2</SUP>, and 10<SUP>2.33-2.64</SUP> K, respectively. Our first application of the non-LTE method with the hierarchical Bayesian inference to external galaxies yielded compatible results compared with the previous studies of this galaxy, demonstrating the efficacy of this method for application to other galaxies. We examined the correlation between gas surface density ${{\rm{\Sigma }}}_{{{\rm{H}}}_{2}}$ (converted from ${N}_{{{\rm{H}}}_{2}}$ ) and the star formation rate Σ<SUB>SFR</SUB> obtained from the 110 GHz continuum flux map and found two distinct sequences in the ${{\rm{\Sigma }}}_{{{\rm{H}}}_{2}}$ -Σ<SUB>SFR</SUB> diagram; the southwestern subregion of the star-forming ring exhibited a ~0.5 dex higher star formation efficiency (SFE; Σ<SUB>SFR</SUB>/ ${{\rm{\Sigma }}}_{{{\rm{H}}}_{2}}$ ) than the eastern subregion. However, they exhibited no systematic difference in ${n}_{{{\rm{H}}}_{2}}$ , which is often argued as a driver of SFE variation. We suggest that the deficiency of molecular gas in the southwestern subregion, where no significant gas supply is evident along the offset ridges in the bar, is responsible for the elevated SFE.
