We present the observational results from a detailed timing analysis of the black hole candidate Swift J1658.2-4242 during its 2018 outburst with the observations of Hard X-ray Modulation Telescope (Insight-HXMT), Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER) and AstroSat in 0.1-250 keV. The evolution of intensity, hardness and integrated fractional root mean square (rms) observed by Insight-HXMT and NICER are presented in this paper. Type-C quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) observed by NICER (0.8-3.5 Hz) and Insight-HXMT (1-1.6 Hz) are also reported in this work. The features of the QPOs are analyzed with an energy range of 0.5-50 keV. The relations between QPO frequency and other characteristics such as intensity, hardness and QPO rms are carefully studied. The timing and spectral properties indicate that Swift J1658.2-4242 is a black hole binary system. Besides, the rms spectra of the source calculated from the simultaneous observation of Insight-HXMT, NICER and AstroSat support the Lense-Thirring origin of the QPOs. The relation between QPO phase lag and the centroid frequency of Swift J1658.2-4242 reveals a near zero constant when < 4Hz and a soft phase lag at 6.68 Hz. This independence follows the same trend as the high inclination galactic black hole binaries such as MAXI J1659-152. | 9 |

Radio relics in galaxy clusters are believed to trace merger shock fronts. If cosmological structure formation determines the luminosity, size and shape distributions of radio relics, then merger shocks need to be lighted up in a homogeneous way. We investigate if a mock relic sample, obtained from zoomed galaxy cluster simulations, is able to match the properties of relics measured in the NRAO VLA Sky Survey (NVSS). We compile a list of all radio relics known to date and homogeneously measure their parameters in all NVSS images and apply the same procedure to relics in our simulations. Number counts in the mock relic sample increase more steeply towards lower relic flux densities, suggesting an incompleteness of NVSS in this regime. Overall, we find that NVSS and mock samples show similar properties. However, large simulated relics tend to be somewhat smaller and closer to the cluster centre than observed ones. Besides this, the mock sample reproduces very well-known correlations for radio relics, in particular those relating the radio luminosity with the largest linear size and the X-ray luminosity. We show that these correlations are largely governed by the sensitivity of the NVSS observations. Mock relics show a similar orientation with respect to the direction to the cluster centre as the NVSS sample. Moreover, we find that their maximum radio luminosity roughly correlates with cluster mass, although displaying a large scatter. The overall good agreement between NVSS and the mock sample suggests that properties of radio relics are indeed governed by merger shock fronts, emitting in a homogeneous fashion. Our study demonstrates that the combination of mock observations and data from upcoming radio surveys will allow us to shed light on both the origin of radio relics and the nature of the intracluster medium. | 9 |

The long anticipated James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) will be able to directly detect large samples of galaxies at very high redshift. Using the well-established, computationally efficient Santa Cruz semi-analytic model, with recently implemented multiphase gas partitioning, and H<SUB>2</SUB>-based star formation recipes, we make predictions for a wide variety of galaxy properties for galaxy populations at z = 4-10. In this work, we provide forecasts for the physical properties of high-redshift galaxies and links to their photometric properties. With physical parameters calibrated only to z ∼ 0 observations, our model predictions are in good agreement with current observational constraints on stellar mass and star formation rate distribution functions up to z ∼ 8. We also provide predictions representing wide, deep, and lensed JWST survey configurations. We study the redshift evolution of key galaxy properties and the scaling relations among them. Taking advantage of our models' high computational efficiency, we study the impact of systematically varying the model parameters. All distribution functions and scaling relations presented in this work are available at https://www.simonsfoundation.org/semi-analytic-forecasts-for-jwst/. | 9 |

Red Geysers are quiescent galaxies with galactic scale ionized outflows, likely due to low-luminosity active galactic nuclei (AGN). We used Gemini GMOS-IFU observations of the inner ~1-3 kpc of nine Red Geysers selected from the MaNGA survey to study the gas ionization and kinematics. The emission-line ratios suggest the presence of Seyfert/LINER (Low Ionization Nuclear Emission Region) nuclei in all sources. Two galaxies show Hα equivalent width ( Hα EW) larger than 3 Å (indicative of AGN ionization) within an aperture 2 ${_{.}^{\prime\prime}}$5 of diameter (1.3-3.7 kpc at the distance of galaxies) for MaNGA data, while with the higher resolution GMOS data, four galaxies present Hα EW>3 Å within an aperture equal to the angular resolution (0.3-0.9 kpc). For two objects with GMOS-IFU data, the Hα EW is lower than 3 Å but larger than 1.5 Å, most probably due to a faint AGN. The spatially resolved electron density maps show values between 100 and 3000 cm <SUP>-3</SUP> and are consistent with those determined in other studies. The large (MaNGA) and the nuclear scale (GMOS-IFU) gas velocity fields are misaligned, with a kinematic position angle difference between 12° and 60°. The [N II] λ6583 emission-line profiles are asymmetrical, with blue wings on the redshifted side of the velocity field and red wings on the blueshifted side. Our results support previous indications that the gas in Red Geysers is ionized by an AGN, at least in their central region, with the presence of outflows, likely originating in a precessing accretion disc. | 9 |

We report the detection of the Lyman continuum (LyC) radiation of the compact star-forming galaxy (SFG) J1154+2443 observed with the Cosmic Origins Spectrograph (COS) onboard the Hubble Space Telescope. This galaxy, at a redshift of z = 0.3690, is characterized by a high emission-line flux ratio O<SUB>32</SUB> = [O III] λ5007/[O II] λ3727 = 11.5. The escape fraction of the LyC radiation f<SUB>esc</SUB>(LyC) in this galaxy is 46 per cent, the highest value found so far in low-redshift SFGs and one of the highest values found in galaxies at any redshift. The narrow double-peaked Ly α emission line is detected in the spectrum of J1154+2443 with a separation between the peaks V<SUB>sep</SUB> of 199 km s<SUP>-1</SUP>, one of the lowest known for Ly α-emitting galaxies, implying a high f<SUB>esc</SUB>(Ly α). Comparing the extinction-corrected Ly α/H β flux ratio with the case B value, we find f<SUB>esc</SUB>(Ly α) = 98 per cent. Our observations, combined with previous detections in the literature, reveal an increase of O<SUB>32</SUB> with increasing f<SUB>esc</SUB>(LyC). We also find a tight anticorrelation between f<SUB>esc</SUB>(LyC) and V<SUB>sep</SUB>.

The recently observed population of 540 free-floating Jupiter-mass objects, including 40 dynamically soft pairs in the Trapezium cluster have raised interesting questions on their formation and evolution. We test various scenarios for the origin and survivability of these free floating Jupiter-mass objects and Jupiter-mass Binary Objects (JuMBOs) in the Trapezium cluster. The numerical calculations are performed by direct N-body integration of the stars and planets in the Trapezium cluster starting with a wide variety of planets in various configurations. We discuss four models: SPP, in which selected stars have two outer orbiting Jupiter-mass planets; SPM, where selected stars are orbited by Jupiter-mass planet-moon pairs; ISF in which JuMBOs form in situ with the stars, and FFC, where we introduce a population of free-floating single Jupiter-mass objects, but no initialized binaries. Models FFC and SPP fail to produce enough JuMBOs. Models SPM can produce sufficient JuMBOs, but requires unusually wide orbits for the planet-moon system around the star. The observed JuMBOs and free-floating Jupiter-mass objects in the Trapezium cluster are best reproduced if they formed in pairs and as free-floaters together with the other stars in a smooth (Plummer) density profile with a virial radius of 0.5pc. A fractal stellar distribution also works, but requires relatively recent formations (>0.2Myr after the other stars formed) or a high (50%) initial binary fraction. This would make the primordial binary fraction of JuMBOs even higher than the already large observation fraction of 8%. The fraction of JuMBOs will continue to drop with time, and the lack of JuMBOs in Upper Scorpius could then result in its higher age, causing more JuMBOs to be ionized. We then also predict that the interstellar density of Jupiter-mass objects (mostly singles with 2% lucky surviving binaries) is 0.05/pc$^{3}$. | 9 |

The persistent radio counterpart of fast radio burst (FRB) 121102 is estimated to have N∼ {10}<SUP>52</SUP> particles, energy {E}<SUB>N</SUB>∼ {10}<SUP>48</SUP> erg, and size R∼ {10}<SUP>17</SUP> cm. The source can be nebula inflated and heated by an intermittent outflow from a magnetar—a neutron star powered by its magnetic (rather than rotational) energy. The object is young and frequently liberating energy in magnetic flares driven by accelerated ambipolar diffusion in the neutron star core, feeding the nebula and producing bright millisecond bursts. The particle number in the nebula is consistent with ion ejecta from giant flares. The nebula may also contain the freeze-out of electron-positron pairs {N}<SUB>+/- </SUB>∼ {10}<SUP>51</SUP> created months after the neutron star birth; the same mechanism offers an explanation for {N}<SUB>+/- </SUB> in the Crab Nebula. The persistent source around FRB 121102 is likely heated by magnetic dissipation and internal waves excited by the magnetar ejecta. The volumetric heating by waves explains the nebula’s enormous efficiency in producing radio emission. The repeating radio bursts are suggested to occur much closer to the magnetar, as a result of ultrarelativistic internal shocks in the magnetar wind, which are launched by the magnetospheric flares. The shocks are mediated by Larmor rotation, which forms a GHz maser with the observed ms duration. Furthermore, the flare ejecta can become charge-starved and then convert to electromagnetic waves. | 9 |
PSR J1640+2224 is a binary millisecond pulsar (BMSP) with a white dwarf (WD) companion. Recent observations indicate that the WD is very likely to be a ∼0.7 M<SUB>⊙</SUB> CO WD. Thus, the BMSP should have evolved from an intermediate-mass X-ray binary (IMXB). However, previous investigations on IMXB evolution predict that the orbital periods of the resultant BMSPs are generally < 40 days, in contrast with the 175 day orbital period of PSR J1640+2224. In this paper, we explore the influence of the mass of the neutron star (NS) and the chemical compositions of the companion star on the formation of BMSPs. Our results show that the final orbital period becomes longer with increasing NS mass, and the WD mass becomes larger with decreasing metallicity. In particular, to reproduce the properties of PSR J1640+2224, the NS was likely born massive (>2.0 M<SUB>⊙</SUB>). | 9 |

We present results of an all-sky search in the Parkes Pulsar Timing Array (PPTA) Data Release 1 data set for continuous gravitational waves (GWs) in the frequency range from 5 × 10<SUP>-9</SUP> to 2 × 10<SUP>-7</SUP> Hz. Such signals could be produced by individual supermassive binary black hole systems in the early stage of coalescence. We phase up the pulsar timing array data set to form, for each position on the sky, two data streams that correspond to the two GW polarizations and then carry out an optimal search for GW signals on these data streams. Since no statistically significant GWs were detected, we place upper limits on the intrinsic GW strain amplitude h<SUB>0</SUB> for a range of GW frequencies. For example, at 10<SUP>-8</SUP> Hz our analysis has excluded with 95 per cent confidence the presence of signals with h<SUB>0</SUB> ≥ 1.7 × 10<SUP>-14</SUP>. Our new limits are about a factor of 4 more stringent than those of Yardley et al. based on an earlier PPTA data set and a factor of 2 better than those reported in the recent Arzoumanian et al. paper. We also present PPTA directional sensitivity curves and find that for the most sensitive region on the sky, the current data set is sensitive to GWs from circular supermassive binary black holes with chirp masses of 10<SUP>9</SUP> M<SUB>⊙</SUB> out to a luminosity distance of about 100 Mpc. Finally, we set an upper limit of 4 × 10<SUP>-3</SUP> Mpc<SUP>-3</SUP> Gyr<SUP>-1</SUP> at 95 per cent confidence on the coalescence rate of nearby (z ≲ 0.1) supermassive binary black holes in circular orbits with chirp masses of 10<SUP>10</SUP> M<SUB>⊙</SUB>. | 9 |

protein transduction exploits the ability of some cell - penetrating peptide sequences to enhance the uptake of proteins and other macromolecules by mammalian cells . previously developed hydrophobic cpps , named membrane translocating sequence , membrane translocating motif and macromolecule transduction domain , are able to deliver biologically active proteins into a variety of cells and tissues . various cargo proteins fused to these cpps have been used to test the functional and / or therapeutic efficacy of protein transduction . for example , recombinant proteins consisting of suppressor of cytokine signaling 3 protein fused to the fibroblast growth factor 4 - derived mtm were developed to inhibit inflammation and apoptosis . however , cp - socs3 fusion proteins expressed in bacteria were hard to purify in soluble form . to address these critical limitations , cpp sequences called advanced mtds have been developed in this art . this is accomplished by analyzing previous developed hydrophobic cpp sequences to identify specific critical factors that affect intracellular delivery potential and constructing artificial amtd sequences satisfied for each critical factor . in addition , solubilization domains have been incorporated into the amtd - fused socs3 recombinant proteins to enhance solubility with corresponding increases in protein yield and cell -/ tissue - permeability . these recombinant socs3 proteins fused to amtd / sd having much higher solubility / yield and cell -/ tissue - permeability have been named as improved cell - permeable socs3 proteins . previously developed cp - socs3 proteins fused to mtm were only tested or used as anti - inflammatory agents to treat acute liver injury . in the present art , icp - socs3 proteins have been tested for use as anti - cancer agents in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma . since socs3 is frequently deleted in and loss of socs3 in hepatocytes promotes resistance to apoptosis and proliferation , we reasoned that icp - socs3 could be used as a protein - based intracellular replacement therapy for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma . the results support this reasoning : treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma cells with icp - socs3 results in reduced cancer cell viability , enhanced apoptosis and loss of cell migration / invasion potential . furthermore , icp - socs3 inhibits the growth of hepatocellular carcinoma in a subcutaneous xenografts model . in the present invention with icp - socs3 fused to an empirically determined combination of newly developed amtd and customized sd , macromolecule intracellular transduction technology enabled by the advanced mtd may provide novel protein therapy against hepatocellular carcinoma . | 2 |
