We return to interpreting the historical SN 1987A neutrino data from a modern perspective. To this end, we construct a suite of spherically symmetric supernova models with the PROMETHEUS-VERTEX code, using four different equations of state and five choices of final baryonic neutron-star (NS) mass in the 1.36 - 1.93 M<SUB>⊙</SUB> range. Our models include muons and proto-neutron star (PNS) convection by a mixing-length approximation. The time-integrated signals of our 1.44 M<SUB>⊙</SUB> models agree reasonably well with the combined data of the four relevant experiments, IMB, Kam-II, BUST, and LSD, but the high-threshold IMB detector alone favors a NS mass of 1.7 - 1.8 M<SUB>⊙</SUB> , whereas Kam-II alone prefers a mass around 1.4 M<SUB>⊙</SUB> . The cumulative energy distributions in these two detectors are well-matched by models for such NS masses, and the previous tension between predicted mean neutrino energies and the combined measurements is gone, with and without flavor swap. Generally, our predicted signals do not strongly depend on assumptions about flavor mixing, because the PNS flux spectra depend only weakly on antineutrino flavor. While our models show compatibility with the events detected during the first seconds, PNS convection and nucleon correlations in the neutrino opacities lead to short PNS cooling times of 5-9 s, in conflict with the late-event bunches in Kam-II and BUST after 8-9 s, which are also difficult to explain by background. Speculative interpretations include the onset of fallback of transiently ejected material onto the NS, a late phase transition in the nuclear medium, e.g., from hadronic to quark matter, or other effects that add to the standard PNS cooling emission and either stretch the signal or provide a late source of energy. More research, including systematic 3D simulations, is needed to assess these open issues. | 9 |

Secular gravitational instability (GI) is one promising mechanism for explaining planetesimal formation. Previous studies of secular GI utilized a razor-thin disk model and derived the growth condition in terms of vertically integrated physical values such as dust-to-gas surface density ratio. However, in weakly turbulent disks where secular GI can operate, a dust disk can be orders of magnitude thinner than a gas disk, and analyses treating the vertical structures are necessary to clarify the interplay of the midplane dust motion and the upper gas motion. In this work, we perform vertically global linear analyses of secular GI with a vertical domain size of a few gas scale heights. We find that dust grains accumulate radially around the midplane while gas circulates over the whole vertical region. We obtain well-converged growth rates when the outer gas boundary is above two gas scale heights. The growth rates are underestimated if we assume the upper gas to be steady and regard it just as the source of external pressure to the dusty lower layer. Therefore, treating the upper gas motion is important even when the dust disk is much thinner than the gas disk. Conducting a parameter survey, we represent the growth condition in terms of the Toomre Q value for dust and dust-to-gas surface density ratio. The critical dust disk mass for secular GI is ~10<SUP>-4</SUP> M <SUB>*</SUB> for a dust-to-gas surface density ratio of 0.01, a Stokes number of 0.1, and a radial dust diffusivity of 10<SUP>-4</SUP> c <SUB>s</SUB> H, where c <SUB>s</SUB> is the gas sound speed, and H is the gas scale height. | 9 |

Winds driven by stellar feedback are an essential part of the galactic ecosystem and are the main mechanism through which low-mass galaxies regulate their star formation. These winds are generally observed to be multiphase with detections of entrained neutral and molecular gas. They are also thought to enrich the circumgalactic medium around galaxies with metals and dust. This ejected dust encodes information about the integrated star formation and outflow history of the galaxy. Therefore it is important to understand how much dust is entrained and driven out of the disc by galactic winds. Here, we demonstrate that stellar feedback is efficient in driving dust-enriched winds and eject enough material to account for the amount of extraplanar dust observed in nearby galaxies. The amount of ejected dust depends on the sites from where they are launched, with dustier galaxies launching more dust-enriched outflows. Moreover, the outflowing cold and dense gas is significantly more dust enriched than the volume filling hot and tenuous material. These results provide an important new insight into the dynamics, structure, and composition of galactic winds and their role in determining the dust content of the extragalactic gas in galaxies. | 9 |
Exploring dark matter via observations of extreme astrophysical environments -- defined here as heavy compact objects such as white dwarfs, neutron stars, and black holes, as well as supernovae and compact object merger events -- has been a major field of growth since the last Snowmass process. Theoretical work has highlighted the utility of current and near-future observatories to constrain novel dark matter parameter space across the full mass range. This includes gravitational wave instruments and observatories spanning the electromagnetic spectrum, from radio to gamma-rays. While recent searches already provide leading sensitivity to various dark matter models, this work also highlights the need for theoretical astrophysics research to better constrain the properties of these extreme astrophysical systems. The unique potential of these search signatures to probe dark matter adds motivation to proposed next-generation astronomical and gravitational wave instruments. | 9 |

By comparing the dynamical and lensing masses of early-type lens galaxies, one can constrain both the cosmological parameters and the density profiles of galaxies. We explore the constraining power on cosmological parameters and the effect of the lens mass model in this method with 161 galaxy-scale strong lensing systems, which is currently the largest sample with both high-resolution imaging and stellar dynamical data. We assume a power-law mass model for the lenses, and consider three different parametrizations for γ (i.e. the slope of the total mass density profile) to include the effect of the dependence of γ on redshift and surface mass density. When treating δ (i.e. the slope of the luminosity density profile) as a universal parameter for all lens galaxies, we find the limits on the cosmological parameter Ω<SUB>m</SUB> are quite weak and biased, and also heavily dependent on the lens mass model in the scenarios of parametrizing γ with three different forms. When treating δ as an observable for each lens, the unbiased estimate of Ω<SUB>m</SUB> can be obtained only in the scenario of including the dependence of γ on both the redshift and the surface mass density, that is Ω _ m = 0.381^{+0.185}_{-0.154} at 68 per cent confidence level in the framework of a flat ΛCDM model. We conclude that the significant dependencies of γ on both the redshift and the surface mass density, as well as the intrinsic scatter of δ among the lenses, need to be properly taken into account in this method. | 9 |

We report the discovery of a 10 comoving megaparsec (cMpc)-scale structure traced by massive submillimeter galaxies (SMGs) at z ∼ 4.6. These galaxies are selected from an emission line search of ALMA Band 7 observations targeting 184 luminous submillimeter sources (S<SUB>850μm</SUB> ≥ 6.2 mJy) across 1.6 degrees<SUP>2</SUP> in the COSMOS field. We identify four [C II] emitting SMGs and two probable [C II] emitting SMG candidates at z = 4.60-4.64 with velocity-integrated signal-to-noise ratio of S/N > 8. Four of the six emitters are near-infrared blank SMGs. After excluding one SMG whose emission line is falling at the edge of the spectral window, all galaxies show clear velocity gradients along the major axes that are consistent with rotating gas disks. The estimated rotation velocities of the disks are 330-550 km s<SUP>-1</SUP> and the inferred host dark-matter halo masses are ∼2-8 × 10<SUP>12</SUP> M<SUB>⊙</SUB>. From their estimated halo masses and [C II] luminosity function, we suggest that these galaxies have a high (50%-100%) duty cycle and high (∼0.1) baryon conversion efficiency (SFR relative to baryon accretion rate), and that they contribute ≃2% to the total star formation rate density at z = 4.6. These SMGs are concentrated within just 0.3% of the full survey volume, suggesting they are strongly clustered. The extent of this structure and the individual halo masses suggest that these SMGs will likely evolve into members of a ∼10<SUP>15</SUP> M<SUB>⊙</SUB> cluster at z = 0. This survey reveals a synchronized dusty starburst in massive halos at z > 4, which could be driven by mergers or fed by smooth gas accretion. | 9 |

a trillium wind turbine has an electricity - generating nacelle and swept - back , complexly - curved blades . each blade has a main blade , a trailing edge blade , and a diversion blade . wind is directed down the length of the blade and exits the tip . the main blade resembles a portion of a cylinder in form , the cylinder being twisted to change the angle of attack , thereby adding more lift throughout the length of the blade . the trailing edge and diversion blades are pitched relative to the wind and produce lift . additionally , wind hitting the diversion blade is diverted behind the blade . because the surface area and volume of the blade are larger near the nacelle and smaller at the tip , the air that travels along the blade increases in velocity as it travels producing more thrust / lift . the turbine also automatically faces into the wind without the need for sensors or positioning motors . | 5 |
The energy coupling efficiency of active galactic nucleus (AGN) outbursts is known to differ significantly with factors including the jet kinetic power, duration of the outburst, and properties of the host galaxy cluster. As such, constraints on their jet power and lifetime functions are crucial to quantify the role of kinetic-mode AGN feedback on the evolution of galaxies since $z \sim 1$. In this work, we address this issue by measuring the energetics of a sample of 79 low-redshift (0.02 $< z <$ 0.2) remnant radio galaxies compiled from large-sky radio surveys - these objects uniquely probe the full duration of an AGN outburst. The jet kinetic power and outburst duration of each remnant are determined using the RAiSE dynamical model based on the surface brightness distribution observed in multi-frequency radio images. We compare the energetics constrained for this sample to those predicted for mock radio source populations - with various intrinsic functions for jet power and lifetime distributions - to correct for sample selection biases imposed on our sample. The intrinsic jet power and lifetime functions that yield a selection-biased mock population most similar to our observed sample are found using Bayesian inference. Our analysis places robust constraints on assumed power-law indices for the intrinsic jet power and lifetime functions: $p(Q)\propto Q^{-1.49\pm0.07}$ and $p(t_{\mathrm{on}})\propto t_{\mathrm{on}}^{-0.97\pm0.12}$ respectively. We discuss the implication of these findings for feedback-regulated accretion and the self-regulating nature of jet activity. The methodology proposed in this work can be extended to active radio galaxies in future studies. | 9 |

FESOM2.0 builds on the framework of its predecessor, FESOM1.4, using its sea ice component Finite-Element Sea Ice Model (FESIM; Danilov et al., 2015), general user interface and code structure. Both model versions work on unstructured triangular meshes, although the horizontal location of quantities and vertical discretization are different. FESOM2.0 uses a B-grid-like horizontal discretization, with scalar quantities at triangle vertices and horizontal velocities at triangle centroids, while in FESOM1.4 all quantities were located at the vertices. In the vertical, FESOM2.0 uses a prismatic discretization where all the variables, except the vertical velocity, are located at mid-depth levels, while in FESOM1.4 each triangular prism is split into three tetrahedral elements and variables are located at full depth levels. In addition, in FESOM2.0, the interfaces for data input and output are further modularized and generalized to facilitate massively parallel applications. The new numerical core of FESOM2.0 is based on the finite-volume method (Danilov et al., 2017). Its boost in numerical efficiency comes largely from the more efficient data structure, that is, the use of two-dimensional storage for three-dimensional variables. Due to the use of prismatic elements and vertical mesh alignment, the horizontal neighborhood pattern is preserved in the vertical (see Fig. S4 in the Supplement). In FESOM1.4, three-dimensional variables are stored as one-dimensional arrays, which requires more fetching time. More importantly, the vertices of tetrahedral elements and derivatives on these elements need to be assessed for each tetrahedron separately, thus resulting in lower model efficiency. Other major advantages of using finite volume are the clearly defined fluxes through the faces of the control volume and the availability of various transport algorithms, whose choice was very limited for the continuous Galerkin linear discretization of FESOM1.4 (Danilov et al., 2017). Arbitrary Lagrangian–Eulerian (ALE; Petersen et al., 2015; Ringler et al., 2013; White et al., 2008; Danilov et al., 2017) vertical coordinates became an essential part of the numerical core of FESOM2.0. In principle, ALE allows a choice of different vertical discretizations such as geopotential, terrain-following and hybrid coordinates, as well as the usage of a linear free-surface or full free-surface and generalized vertical layer displacement within the same code. | 9 |
