We examine the simple model put forth in a recent note by Loeb regarding the brightness of space debris in the size range of 1–10 cm and their impact on the Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) transient object searches. Their main conclusion was that "image contamination by untracked space debris might pose a bigger challenge [than large commercial satellite constellations in Low-Earth orbit]." Following corrections and improvements to this model, we calculate the apparent brightness of tumbling low-Earth orbit (LEO) debris of various sizes, and we briefly discuss the likely impact and potential mitigations of glints from space debris in LSST. We find the majority of the difference in predicted signal-to-noise ratio (S/N), about a factor of 6, arises from the defocus of LEO objects due to the large Simonyi Survey Telescope primary mirror and finite range of the debris. The largest change from the Loeb estimates is that 1–10 cm debris in LEO pose no threat to LSST transient object alert generation because their S/N for detection will be much lower than estimated by Loeb due to defocus. We find that only tumbling LEO debris larger than 10 cm or with significantly greater reflectivity, which give 1 ms glints, might be detected with high confidence (S/N > 5). We estimate that only one in five LSST exposures low on the sky during twilight might be affected. More slowly tumbling objects of larger size can give flares in brightness that are easily detected; however, these will not be cataloged by the LSST Science Pipelines because of the resulting long streak. | 9 |

Magnetized plasma columns and extended magnetic structures with both footpoints anchored to a surface layer are an important building block of astrophysical dissipation models. Current loops shining in X-rays during the growth of plasma instabilities are observed in the corona of the Sun and are expected to exist in highly magnetized neutron star magnetospheres and accretion disk coronae. For varying twist and system sizes, we investigate the stability of line-tied force-free flux tubes and the dissipation of twist energy during instabilities using linear analysis and time-dependent force-free electrodynamics simulations. Kink modes (m = 1) and efficient magnetic energy dissipation develop for plasma safety factors q ≲ 1, where q is the inverse of the number of magnetic field line windings per column length. Higher-order fluting modes (m > 1) can distort equilibrium flux tubes for q > 1 but induce significantly less dissipation. In our analysis, the characteristic pitch ${\tilde{\mu }}_{0}$ of flux-tube field lines determines the growth rate ( $\propto {\tilde{\mu }}_{0}^{3}$ ) and minimum wavelength of the kink instability ( $\propto {\tilde{\mu }}_{0}^{-1}$ ). We use these scalings to determine a minimum flux tube length for the growth of the kink instability for any given ${\tilde{\mu }}_{0}$ . By drawing analogies to idealized magnetar magnetospheres with varying regimes of boundary shearing rates, we discuss the expected impact of the pitch-dependent growth rates for magnetospheric dissipation in magnetar conditions. | 9 |

We use 23 yr of astrometric and radial velocity data on the orbit of the star S0-2 to constrain a hypothetical intermediate-mass black hole orbiting the massive black hole Sgr A* at the Galactic center. The data place upper limits on variations of the orientation of the stellar orbit at levels between 0.°02 and 0.°07 per year. We use a combination of analytic estimates and full numerical integrations of the orbit of S0-2 in the presence of a black hole binary. For a companion intermediate-mass black hole outside the orbit of S0-2 (1020 au), we find that a companion black hole with mass m <SUB> c </SUB> between 10<SUP>3</SUP> and 10<SUP>5</SUP> M <SUB>⊙</SUB> is excluded, with a boundary behaving as ${a}_{c}\sim {m}_{c}^{1/3}$ . For a companion with a <SUB> c </SUB> < 1020 au, a black hole with mass between 10<SUP>3</SUP> and 10<SUP>5</SUP> M <SUB>⊙</SUB> is excluded, with ${a}_{c}\sim {m}_{c}^{-1/2}$ . These bounds arise from quadrupolar perturbations of the orbit of S0-2. Significantly stronger bounds on an inner companion arise from the fact that the location of S0-2 is measured relative to the bright emission of Sgr A* and that separation is perturbed by the "wobble" of Sgr A* about the center of mass between it and the companion. The result is a set of bounds as small as 400 M <SUB>⊙</SUB> at 200 au; the numerical simulations suggest a bound from these effects varying as ${a}_{c}\sim {m}_{c}^{-1}$ . We compare and contrast our results with those from a recent analysis by the GRAVITY collaboration. | 9 |

The Planck full mission cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature and E-mode polarization maps are analysed to obtain constraints on primordial non-Gaussianity (NG). Using three classes of optimal bispectrum estimators - separable template-fitting (KSW), binned, and modal - we obtain consistent values for the primordial local, equilateral, and orthogonal bispectrum amplitudes, quoting as our final result from temperature alone ƒ<SUP>local</SUP><SUB>NL</SUB> = 2.5 ± 5.7, ƒ<SUP>equil</SUP><SUB>NL</SUB>= -16 ± 70, , and ƒ<SUP>ortho</SUP><SUB>NL</SUB> = -34 ± 32 (68% CL, statistical). Combining temperature and polarization data we obtain ƒ<SUP>local</SUP><SUB>NL</SUB> = 0.8 ± 5.0, ƒ<SUP>equil</SUP><SUB>NL</SUB>= -4 ± 43, and ƒ<SUP>ortho</SUP><SUB>NL</SUB> = -26 ± 21 (68% CL, statistical). The results are based on comprehensive cross-validation of these estimators on Gaussian and non-Gaussian simulations, are stable across component separation techniques, pass an extensive suite of tests, and are consistent with estimators based on measuring the Minkowski functionals of the CMB. The effect of time-domain de-glitching systematics on the bispectrum is negligible. In spite of these test outcomes we conservatively label the results including polarization data as preliminary, owing to a known mismatch of the noise model in simulations and the data. Beyond estimates of individual shape amplitudes, we present model-independent, three-dimensional reconstructions of the Planck CMB bispectrum and derive constraints on early universe scenarios that generate primordial NG, including general single-field models of inflation, axion inflation, initial state modifications, models producing parity-violating tensor bispectra, and directionally dependent vector models. We present a wide survey of scale-dependent feature and resonance models, accounting for the "look elsewhere" effect in estimating the statistical significance of features. We also look for isocurvature NG, and find no signal, but we obtain constraints that improve significantly with the inclusion of polarization. The primordial trispectrum amplitude in the local model is constrained to be 𝓰<SUP>local</SUP><SUB>NL</SUB> = (-0.9 ± 7.7 ) X 10<SUP>4</SUP>(68% CL statistical), and we perform an analysis of trispectrum shapes beyond the local case. The global picture that emerges is one of consistency with the premises of the ΛCDM cosmology, namely that the structure we observe today was sourced by adiabatic, passive, Gaussian, and primordial seed perturbations. | 9 |

The cold dark matter of the Universe may be comprised of very light and very weakly interacting particles, so-called WISPs. Two prominent examples are hidden photons and axion-like particles. In this note we propose a new technique to sensitively search for this type of dark matter with dish antennas. The technique is broadband and allows to explore a whole range of masses in a single measurement. | 9 |
Context. Planetary migration is a key link between planet formation models and observed exoplanet statistics. So far, the theory of planetary migration has focused on the interaction of one or more planets with an inviscid or viscously evolving gaseous disk. Turbulent viscosity is thought to be the main driver of the secular evolution of the disk, and it is known to affect the migration process for intermediate- to high-mass planets. Recently, however, the topic of wind-driven accretion has experienced a renaissance because evidence is mounting that protoplanetary disks may be less turbulent than previously thought, and 3D non-ideal magnetohydrodynamic modeling of the wind-launching process is maturing. <BR /> Aims: We investigate how wind-driven accretion may affect planetary migration. We aim for a qualitative exploration of the main effects and not for a quantitative prediction. <BR /> Methods: We performed 2D hydrodynamic planet-disk interaction simulations with the FARGO3D code in the (r, ϕ) plane. The vertical coordinate in the disk and the launching of the wind are not treated explicitly. Instead, the torque caused by the wind onto the disk is treated using a simple two-parameter formula. The parameters are the wind mass-loss rate and the lever arm. <BR /> Results: We find that the wind-driven accretion process replenishes the co-orbital region in a different way than the viscous accretion process. The former always injects mass from the outer edge of the co-orbital region, and always removes mass from the inner edge, while the latter injects or removes mass from the co-orbital region depending on the radial density gradients in the disk. As a consequence, the migration behavior can differ strongly, and can under certain conditions drive rapid type-III-like outward migration. We derive an analytic expression for the parameters under which this outward migration occurs. <BR /> Conclusions: If wind-driven accretion plays a role in the secular evolution of protoplanetary disks, planetary migration studies have to include this process as well because it can strongly affect the resulting migration rate and migration direction. | 9 |

We present a comprehensive study on the occurrences of the collisional flavor instability (CFI) and the fast flavor instability (FFI) of neutrinos based on a 2D core-collapse supernova simulation performed with a Boltzmann radiation hydrodynamics code. We find that CFI occurs in a region with the baryon-mass density of 10<SUP>10</SUP>≲ρ ≲10<SUP>12</SUP> g cm<SUP>-3</SUP> , which is similar to the previous results in 1D core-collapse supernova models. In contrast to 1D, however, the CFI region varies with time vigorously in the 2D model, whereas it had a quiescent structure in 1D. This is attributed to the fact that the turbulent flows advected from a gain region account for the temporal variations. Another noticeable difference from the 1D models is the appearance of resonancelike CFI where number densities of ν<SUB>e</SUB>, ν<SUB>¯e</SUB> nearly coincide each other. The CFI growth rate there is enhanced and can reach ∼10<SUP>8</SUP> s<SUP>-1</SUP>. As for FFI, on the other hand, it appears in three different regions: (1) the region overlapped with the resonancelike CFI, (2) neutrino decoupling regions where ν<SUB>¯ e</SUB>s are strongly emitted, and (3) optically thin regions where neutral-current scatterings dominate over charged-current reactions. Although overall properties for FFI are consistent with previous studies, we find that the number of electron-neutrinos lepton number crossing temporarily becomes multiple, which can be assessed accurately only by multiangle treatments in neutrino transport. We find that the growth rate of FFI is always higher than CFI if both of them occur, which suggests that the former is dominant for the linear evolution. | 9 |

We present the ultraviolet luminosity function and an estimate of the cosmic star formation rate density at 8 < z < 13 derived from deep NIRCam observations taken in parallel with the MIRI Deep Survey of the Hubble Ultra Deep Field (HUDF), NIRCam covering the parallel field 2. Our deep (40 hr) NIRCam observations reach an F277W magnitude of 30.8 (5σ), more than 2 mag deeper than JWST public data sets already analyzed to find high-redshift galaxies. We select a sample of 44 z > 8 galaxy candidates based on their dropout nature in the F115W and/or F150W filters, a high probability for their photometric redshifts, estimated with three different codes, being at z > 8, good fits based on χ <SUP>2</SUP> calculations, and predominant solutions compared to z < 8 alternatives. We find mild evolution in the luminosity function from z ~ 13 to z ~ 8, i.e., only a small increase in the average number density of ~0.2 dex, while the faint-end slope and absolute magnitude of the knee remain approximately constant, with values α = - 2.2 ± 0.1, and M <SUP>*</SUP> = - 20.8 ± 0.2 mag. Comparing our results with the predictions of state-of-the-art galaxy evolution models, we find two main results: (1) a slower increase with time in the cosmic star formation rate density compared to a steeper rise predicted by models; (2) nearly a factor of 10 higher star formation activity concentrated in scales around 2 kpc in galaxies with stellar masses ~10<SUP>8</SUP> M <SUB>⊙</SUB> during the first 350 Myr of the universe, z ~ 12, with models matching better the luminosity density observational estimations ~150 Myr later, by z ~ 9. | 9 |

Using 250 neutron star merger simulations with microphysics, we explore for the first time the role of nuclear incompressibility in the prompt collapse threshold for binaries with different mass ratios. We demonstrate that observations of prompt collapse thresholds, either from binaries with two different mass ratios or with one mass ratio but combined with the knowledge of the maximum neutron star mass or compactness, will constrain the incompressibility at the maximum neutron star density K<SUB>max</SUB> to within tens of percent. This otherwise inaccessible measure of K<SUB>max</SUB> can potentially reveal the presence of hyperons or quarks inside neutron stars. | 9 |
