Radio magnetars are exotic sources noted for their diverse spectrotemporal phenomenology and pulse profile variations over weeks to months. Unusual for radio magnetars, the Galactic Center (GC) magnetar PSR J1745-2900 has been continually active since its discovery in 2013. We monitored the GC magnetar at 4-8 GHz for 6 hr in 2019 August-September using the Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope. During our observations, the GC magnetar emitted a flat fluence spectrum over 5-8 GHz to within 2σ uncertainty. From our data, we estimate a 6.4 GHz period-averaged flux density, ${\overline{S}}_{6.4}\approx (240\pm 5)$ μJy. Tracking the temporal evolution of ${\overline{S}}_{6.4}$ , we infer a gradual weakening of GC magnetar activity during 2016-2019 relative to that between 2013 and 2015.5. Typical single pulses detected in our study reveal marginally resolved subpulses with opposing spectral indices, a feature characteristic of radio magnetars but unseen in rotation-powered pulsars. However, unlike in fast radio bursts, these subpulses exhibit no perceptible radio frequency drifts. Throughout our observing span, ≃5 ms scattered pulses significantly jitter within two stable emission components of widths 220 ms and 140 ms, respectively, in the average pulse profile. | 9 |

Many hot Jupiters (HJs) are detected by the Doppler and transit techniques. From surveys using these two techniques, however, the measured HJ occurrence rates differ by a factor of two or more. Using the California Planet Survey sample and the Kepler sample, we investigate the causes for this difference in the HJ occurrence rate. First, we find that 12.8% ± 0.24% of HJs are misidentified in the Kepler mission because of photometric dilution and subgiant contamination. Second, we explore the differences between the Doppler sample and the Kepler sample that can account for the different HJ occurrence rate. Third, we discuss how to measure the fundamental HJ occurrence rates by synthesizing the results from the Doppler and Kepler surveys. The fundamental HJ occurrence rates are measures of the HJ occurrence rate as a function of stellar multiplicity and evolutionary stage, e.g., the HJ occurrence rate for single and multiple stars or for main-sequence and subgiant stars. While we find qualitative evidence that HJs occur less frequently in subgiants and multiple stellar systems, we conclude that our current knowledge of stellar properties and the stellar multiplicity rate is too limited for us to reach any quantitative result for the fundamental HJ occurrence rates. This concern extends to η<SUB>Earth</SUB>, the occurrence rate of Earth-like planets. | 9 |

Cosmic Reionization On Computers is a long-term program of numerical simulations of cosmic reionization. Its goal is to model fully self-consistently (albeit not necessarily from the first principles) all relevant physics, from radiative transfer to gas dynamics and star formation, in simulation volumes of up to 100 comoving Mpc, and with spatial resolution approaching 100 pc in physical units. In this method paper, we describe our numerical method, the design of simulations, and the calibration of numerical parameters. Using several sets (ensembles) of simulations in 20 h <SUP>-1</SUP> Mpc and 40 h <SUP>-1</SUP> Mpc boxes with spatial resolution reaching 125 pc at z = 6, we are able to match the observed galaxy UV luminosity functions at all redshifts between 6 and 10, as well as obtain reasonable agreement with the observational measurements of the Gunn-Peterson optical depth at z < 6. | 9 |

We present observations and analyses of eight white dwarf stars (WDs) that have accreted rocky material from their surrounding planetary systems. The spectra of these helium-atmosphere WDs contain detectable optical lines of all four major rock-forming elements (O, Mg, Si, and Fe). This work increases the sample of oxygen-bearing WDs with parent body composition analyses by roughly 33%. To first order, the parent bodies that have been accreted by the eight WDs are similar to those of chondritic meteorites in relative elemental abundances and oxidation states. Seventy-five percent of the WDs in this study have observed oxygen excesses implying volatiles in the parent bodies with abundances similar to those of chondritic meteorites. Three WDs have oxidation states that imply more reduced material than found in CI chondrites, indicating the possible detection of Mercury-like parent bodies, but are less constrained. These results contribute to the recurring conclusion that extrasolar rocky bodies closely resemble those in our solar system, and do not, as a whole, yield unusual or unique compositions. | 9 |

We report on late time radio and X-ray observations of the tidal disruption event candidate ASASSN-14li, covering the first 1000 d of the decay phase. For the first ∼200 d the radio and X-ray emission fade in concert. This phase is better fitted by an exponential decay at X-ray wavelengths, while the radio emission is well described by either an exponential or the canonical t<SUP>-5/3</SUP> decay assumed for tidal disruption events. The correlation between radio and X-ray emission during this period can be fitted as L_R∝ L_X^{1.9± 0.2}. After 400 d the radio emission at 15.5 GHz has reached a plateau level of 244 ± 8 μJy which it maintains for at least the next 600 d, while the X-ray emission continues to fade exponentially. This steady level of radio emission is likely due to relic radio lobes from the weak AGN-like activity implied by historical radio observations. We note that while most existing models are based upon the evolution of ejecta which are decoupled from the central black hole, the radio-X-ray correlation during the declining phase is also consistent with core-jet emission coupled to a radiatively efficient accretion flow. | 9 |

Vortex flows, related to solar convective turbulent dynamics at granular scales and their interplay with magnetic fields within intergranular lanes, occur abundantly on the solar surface and in the atmosphere above. Their presence is revealed in high-resolution and high-cadence solar observations from the ground and from space and with state-of-the-art magnetoconvection simulations. Vortical flows exhibit complex characteristics and dynamics, excite a wide range of different waves, and couple different layers of the solar atmosphere, which facilitates the channeling and transfer of mass, momentum and energy from the solar surface up to the low corona. Here we provide a comprehensive review of documented research and new developments in theory, observations, and modelling of vortices over the past couple of decades after their observational discovery, including recent observations in Hα , innovative detection techniques, diverse hydrostatic modelling of waves and forefront magnetohydrodynamic simulations incorporating effects of a non-ideal plasma. It is the first systematic overview of solar vortex flows at granular scales, a field with a plethora of names for phenomena that exhibit similarities and differences and often interconnect and rely on the same physics. With the advent of the 4-m Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope and the forthcoming European Solar Telescope, the ongoing Solar Orbiter mission, and the development of cutting-edge simulations, this review timely addresses the state-of-the-art on vortex flows and outlines both theoretical and observational future research directions. | 9 |

The study on the dynamic evolution of young supernova remnants (SNRs) is an important way to understand the density structure of the progenitor's circumstellar medium. We have reported the acceleration or deceleration, proper motion, and brightness changes of 260 compact radio features in the second-youngest known SNR Cas A at 5 GHz based on the Very Large Array data of five epochs from 1987 to 2004. The radio expansion center is located at α(1950) = 23<SUP>h</SUP>21<SUP>m</SUP>9.ˢ7 ± 0.ˢ29, δ(1950) = +58°32'25.″2 ± 2.″2. Three-quarters of the compact knots are decelerating; this suggests that there are significant density fluctuations in the stellar winds of the remnant's progenitor. We have verified that the acceleration or deceleration of compact knots is not related with the distribution of brightness. The brightening, fading, disappearing, or new appearing of compact radio features in Cas A suggests that the magnetic field in the remnant is changing rapidly. | 9 |

This package contains the code needed to find the lowest energy levels and eigenstates of proximitized carbon nanotubes in a setup presented in our https://arxiv.org/abs/1812.02796 paper "Transverse profile and 3D spin canting of a Majorana state in carbon nanotubes". The datasets used in the paper are included in the "data" directory. The method used is of a tight-binding Hamiltonian on a real atomic lattice of the nanotube. Superconducting correlations are imposed by hand and treated in a Bogoliubov-de Gennes approach. Several physical properties of the system can be controlled: - the hopping integrals can be taken from one of four sets based on DFT results - the chirality and length of the nanotube - amplitude and angle with respect to the CNT axis of the applied magnetic field - the shape of the ridge-like electrostatic potential, caused by the presence of the substrate - the shape and value of the chemical potential landscape along the CNT, either constant or with a smooth step - the Peierls phase and spin flipping hoppings can be switched off, independently - the superconducting pairing, separately on-site and nearest-neighbour. The code consists of three parts: - C++ code for finding out and writing the Hamiltonian into a file, in the sparse matrix form - MATLAB script "EigenvectorHamiltonian.m", which finds its lowest energy eigenvalues and eigenvectors - bash scripts "extract_eigenvector.sh" and "extract_eigenvector_sublattice.sh" for processing the output of the MATLAB script into a plottable file with separated columns holding the particle/hole spin up/down components of the Nambu spinors Instructions for compiling and using the code are included in the README file. | 9 |

Nearby pulsars have been suggested as sources of ∼TeV e<SUP>+</SUP>/e<SUP>-</SUP> cosmic ray (CR) excess on the Earth. The High-Altitude Water Cherenkov Observatory (HAWC) detected extended TeV emission regions in the direction of two nearby middle-aged pulsars, Geminga and PSR B0656+14. By modelling the TeV emission as inverse Compton emission from electron-positron pairs diffusing in the interstellar medium (ISM), the HAWC collaboration derives a diffusion coefficient much smaller than the standard value in the vicinity of the two pulsars, which make them unlikely the origin of the positron excess. We propose that the observed γ-ray emission originate from the relic pulsar wind nebula. A two zone diffusion model with a slow diffusion in the nebula and a fast diffusion in the ISM can explain the HAWC surface-brightness profile and the positron excess simultaneously. Inefficient diffusion in the γ-ray emission region surrounding a middle-aged pulsar maybe a common phenomenon that can be tested by future observation. The implied diffusion coefficient in the ISM is smaller than the one suggested by the standard CR propagation model, but it is fully consistent with the predictions of the spiral arm model. | 9 |

We have derived new, very accurate abundances of the Fe-group elements Sc through Zn (Z = 21-30) in the bright main-sequence turnoff star HD 84937 based on high-resolution spectra covering the visible and ultraviolet spectral regions. New or recent laboratory transition data for 14 species of seven elements have been used. Abundances from more than 600 lines of non-Fe species have been combined with about 550 Fe lines in HD 84937 to yield abundance ratios of high precision. The abundances have been determined from both neutral and ionized transitions, which generally are in agreement with each other. We find no substantial departures from the standard LTE Saha ionization balance in this [Fe/H] = -2.32 star. Noteworthy among the abundances are [Co/Fe] = +0.14 and [Cu/Fe] = -0.83, in agreement with past studies of abundance trends in this and other low-metallicity stars, and < [{{Sc,Ti,V/Fe}}]> = +0.31, which has not been noted previously. A detailed examination of scandium, titanium, and vanadium abundances in large-sample spectroscopic surveys reveals that they are positively correlated in stars with [Fe/H] < -2 HD 84937 lies at the high end of this correlation. These trends constrain the synthesis mechanisms of Fe-group elements. We also examine the Galactic chemical evolution abundance trends of the Fe-group elements, including a new nucleosynthesis model with jet-like explosion effects. | 9 |

We forecast constraints on cosmological parameters enabled by three surveys conducted with SPT-3G, the third-generation camera on the South Pole Telescope. The surveys cover separate regions of 1500, 2650, and 6000 ${\rm deg}^{2}$ to different depths, in total observing 25% of the sky. These regions will be measured to white noise levels of roughly 2.5, 9, and 12 $\mu{\rm K-arcmin}$, respectively, in CMB temperature units at 150 GHz by the end of 2024. The survey also includes measurements at 95 and 220 GHz, which have noise levels a factor of ~1.2 and 3.5 times higher than 150 GHz, respectively, with each band having a polarization noise level ~$\sqrt{\text{2}}$ times higher than the temperature noise. We use a novel approach to obtain the covariance matrices for jointly and optimally estimated gravitational lensing potential bandpowers and unlensed CMB temperature and polarization bandpowers. We demonstrate the ability to test the $\Lambda{\rm CDM}$ model via the consistency of cosmological parameters constrained independently from SPT-3G and Planck data, and consider the improvement in constraints on $\Lambda{\rm CDM}$ extension parameters from a joint analysis of SPT-3G and Planck data. The $\Lambda{\rm CDM}$ cosmological parameters are typically constrained with uncertainties up to ~2 times smaller with SPT-3G data, compared to Planck, with the two data sets measuring significantly different angular scales and polarization levels, providing additional tests of the standard cosmological model. | 9 |
