Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are the state-of-the-art technique for identifying strong gravitational lenses. Although they are highly successful in recovering genuine lens systems with a high true-positive rate, the unbalanced nature of the data set (lens systems are rare), still leads to a high false positive rate. For these techniques to be successful in upcoming surveys (e.g. with Euclid) most emphasis should be set on reducing false positives, rather than on reducing false negatives. In this paper, we introduce densely connected neural networks (DenseNets) as the CNN architecture in a new pipeline-ensemble model containing an ensemble of classification CNNs and regression CNNs to classify and rank-order lenses, respectively. We show that DenseNets achieve comparable true positive rates but considerably lower false positive rates (when compared to residual networks; ResNets). Thus, we recommend DenseNets for future missions involving large data sets, such as Euclid, where low false positive rates play a key role in the automated follow-up and analysis of large numbers of strong gravitational lens candidates when human vetting is no longer feasible. | 9 |

Since pulsars were discovered as emitters of bright coherent radio emission more than half a century ago, the cause of the emission has remained a mystery. In this Letter we demonstrate that coherent radiation can be directly generated in nonstationary pair plasma discharges which are responsible for filling the pulsar magnetosphere with plasma. By means of large-scale two-dimensional kinetic plasma simulations, we show that if pair creation is nonuniform across magnetic field lines, the screening of electric field by freshly produced pair plasma is accompanied by the emission of waves which are electromagnetic in nature. Using localized simulations of the screening process, we identify these waves as superluminal ordinary (O ) modes, which should freely escape from the magnetosphere as the plasma density drops along the wave path. The spectrum of the waves is broadband and the frequency range is comparable to that of observed pulsar radio emission. | 9 |

Dramatic recent progress in understanding galactic chemical evolution (GCE) has been driven partly by direct observations of the distant past with HST and JWST and partly by archeaological interpretation of stellar abundances from giant high-resolution spectroscopic surveys (APOGEE, GALAH) and the complementary power of Gaia astrometry and photometry. Focusing on archaeology, I give a rapid-fire, and I hope synthesizing, review of work my collaborators and I have done on theoretical modeling and observational interpretation. I discuss (1) the interleaved but distinguishable roles of stellar scale astrophysics and galactic scale astrophysics in governing GCE, (2) the use of abundance ratio trends to empirically infer nucleosynthetic yields, (3) the uncertainty in the overall scale of yields and its degeneracy with the importance of galactic outflows, (4) the emergence of equilibrium in GCE, (5) the dimensionality of the stellar distribution in chemical abundance space, and (6) insights from chemical abundances on the early history of the Milky Way, including measurements of the intrinsic scatter of abundance ratios in metal-poor stars (-2≤[Fe/H] ≤-1) suggesting that a typical halo star at this metallicity is enriched by the products of N∼50 supernovae mixed over ∼10<SUP>5</SUP>M<SUB>⊚</SUB> of star-forming gas. | 9 |

We conducted survey observations of a glycine precursor, methanimine, or methylenimine (CH<SUB>2</SUB>NH), with the Nobeyama Radio Observatory 45 m telescope and the Sub-Millimeter Radio telescope toward 12 high-mass and two low-mass star-forming regions in order to increase the number of known CH<SUB>2</SUB>NH sources and to better understand the characteristics of CH<SUB>2</SUB>NH sources. As a result of our survey, CH<SUB>2</SUB>NH was detected in eight sources, including four new sources. The estimated fractional abundances were ∼10<SUP>-8</SUP> in Orion KL and G10.47+0.03, while they were ∼10<SUP>-9</SUP> toward the other sources. Our hydrogen recombination line and past studies suggest that CH<SUB>2</SUB>NH-rich sources have less (this mean not so evolved) evolved H II regions. The lower destruction rates from UV flux from the central star would contribute to the high CH<SUB>2</SUB>NH abundances toward CH<SUB>2</SUB>NH-rich sources. Our gas-grain chemical simulations suggest that CH<SUB>2</SUB>NH is mostly formed in the gas phase by neutral-neutral reactions, rather than being the product of thermal evaporation from dust surfaces. | 9 |
We study the properties of one of the most luminous hinge clumps, located on the compact group of galaxies NGC6845. Using IFS from GMOS/Gemini, complemented with archival MUSE data, we obtain oxygen abundances, ages, star formation rates, velocity fields and we also performed a single stellar populations modeling to understand the SFH of the hinge clump localized in NGC6845. We found that the hinge clump sits in a tail, having a SFR of 3.4$M_{\odot}yr^{-1}$, which is comparable with a few other extreme cases, e.g., the star clusters in the Antennae galaxy and other reported hinge clumps in the literature. In fact, this clump represents ~15\% of total SFR of NGC6845A. Large-scale modeling of the observed velocity field of NGC6845A rules out the scenario on which this hinge clump was a satellite galaxy. Indeed, its kinematics is compatible with the galactic disk of NGC6845A. Its abundance, mean value of 0.4Z$_{\odot}$, is also consistent with the metallicity gradient of the galaxy. Our analysis, suggest that the hinge clump is formed by multiple stellar populations instead of a single burst, thus having a large range of ages. We found that central clump is encompassed by a ring-like structure, suggesting that the ring-like structure represents a second-generation of star formation. In addition, the analysis of the diagnostic diagram indicates that this central region can also be being ionized by shock from stellar and supernovae winds. Finally, the derived SFR density $\Sigma=9.7M_{\odot}yr^{-1}kpc^{-2}$ of the central clump, place it in starburst regime, where gas inflows should provide gas to maintain the star formation. This work shows a resolved example of an extreme localized starburst in a compact group of galaxies. | 9 |

A popular numerical method to model the dynamics of a 'full spectrum' of cosmic rays (CRs), also applicable to radiation/neutrino hydrodynamics, is to discretize the spectrum at each location/cell as a piecewise power law in 'bins' of momentum (or frequency) space. This gives rise to a pair of conserved quantities (e.g. CR number and energy) that are exchanged between cells or bins, which in turn give the update to the normalization and slope of the spectrum in each bin. While these methods can be evolved exactly in momentum-space (e.g. considering injection, absorption, continuous losses/gains), numerical challenges arise dealing with spatial fluxes, if the scattering rates depend on momentum. This has often been treated either by neglecting variation of those rates 'within the bin,' or sacrificing conservation - introducing significant errors. Here, we derive a rigorous treatment of these terms, and show that the variation within the bin can be accounted for accurately with a simple set of scalar correction coefficients that can be written entirely in terms of other, explicitly evolved 'bin-integrated' quantities. This eliminates the relevant errors without added computational cost, has no effect on the numerical stability of the method, and retains manifest conservation. We derive correction terms both for methods that explicitly integrate flux variables (e.g. two-moment or M1-like) methods, as well as single-moment (advection-diffusion, FLD-like) methods, and approximate corrections valid in various limits. | 9 |

We report a study of the low-mass Class 0 multiple system VLA 1623AB in the Ophiuchus star-forming region, using H<SUP>13</SUP>CO<SUP>+</SUP> (J = 3-2), CS (J = 5-4), and CCH (N = 3-2) lines as part of the ALMA Large Program FAUST. The analysis of the velocity fields revealed the rotation motion in the envelope and the velocity gradients in the outflows (about 2000 au down to 50 au). We further investigated the rotation of the circumbinary VLA 1623A disk, as well as the VLA 1623B disk. We found that the minor axis of the circumbinary disk of VLA 1623A is misaligned by about 12° with respect to the large-scale outflow and the rotation axis of the envelope. In contrast, the minor axis of the circumbinary disk is parallel to the large-scale magnetic field according to previous dust polarization observations, suggesting that the misalignment may be caused by the different directions of the envelope rotation and the magnetic field. If the velocity gradient of the outflow is caused by rotation, the outflow has a constant angular momentum and the launching radius is estimated to be 5-16 au, although it cannot be ruled out that the velocity gradient is driven by entrainments of the two high-velocity outflows. Furthermore, we detected for the first time a velocity gradient associated with rotation toward the VLA 16293B disk. The velocity gradient is opposite to the one from the large-scale envelope, outflow, and circumbinary disk. The origin of its opposite gradient is also discussed. | 9 |

We investigate the gravitational interaction between low- to intermediate-mass planets ($M_p \in [0.06-210]\, \mathrm{ M}_{\oplus }$) and two previously formed pressure bumps in a gas-dust protoplanetary disc. We explore how the disc structure changes due to planet-induced perturbations and also how the appearance of vortices affects planet migration. We use multifluid 2D hydrodynamical simulations and the dust is treated in the pressureless-fluid approximation, assuming a single grain size of $5\, \mu {\mathrm{m}}$. The initial surface density profiles containing two bumps are motivated by recent observations of the protoplanetary disc HD163296. When planets are allowed to migrate, either a single planet from the outer pressure maximum or two planets from each pressure maximum, the initial pressure bumps quickly spread and merge into a single bump which is radially wide and has a very low amplitude. The redistribution of the disc material is accompanied by the Rossby Wave Instability and an appearance of mini-vortices that merge in a short period of time to form a large vortex. The large vortex induces perturbations with a spiral wave pattern that propagate away from the vortex as density waves. We found that these vortex-induced spiral waves strongly interact with the spiral waves generated by the planet and we called this mechanism the 'Faraway Interaction'. It facilitates much slower and/or stagnant migration of the planets and it excites their orbital eccentricities in some cases. Our study provides a new explanation for how rocky planets can come to have a slow migration in protoplanetary discs where vortex formation occurs. | 9 |

The coupling state between ions and neutrals in the interstellar medium plays a key role in the dynamics of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence, but is challenging to study numerically. In this work, we investigate the damping of MHD turbulence in a partially ionized medium using 3D two-fluid (ions + neutrals) simulations generated with the ATHENAK code. Specifically, we examine the velocity, density, and magnetic field statistics of the two-fluid MHD turbulence in different regimes of neutral-ion coupling. Our results demonstrate that when ions and neutrals are strongly coupled, the velocity statistics resemble those of single-fluid MHD turbulence. Both the velocity structures and kinetic energy spectra of ions and neutrals are similar, while their density structures can be significantly different. With an excess of small-scale sharp density fluctuations in ions, the density spectrum in ions is shallower than that of neutrals. When ions and neutrals are weakly coupled, the turbulence in ions is more severely damped due to the ion-neutral collisional friction than that in neutrals, resulting in a steep kinetic energy spectrum and density spectrum in ions compared to the Kolmogorov spectrum. We also find that the magnetic energy spectrum basically follows the shape of the kinetic energy spectrum of ions, irrespective of the coupling regime. In addition, we find large density fluctuations in ions and neutrals and thus spatially inhomogeneous ionization fractions. As a result, the neutral-ion decoupling and damping of MHD turbulence take place over a range of length-scales. | 9 |

In recent years, several close post-common-envelope eclipsing binaries have been found to show cyclic eclipse timing variations (ETVs). This effect is usually interpreted either as the gravitational interaction among circumbinary bodies and the host binary—known as the light travel time (LTT) effect—or as the quadrupole moment variations in one magnetic active component—known as the Applegate mechanism. In this study, we present an analysis of the ETV and the magnetic cycle of the close binary KIC 10544976. This system is composed of a white dwarf and a red dwarf in a short orbital period (0.35 days) and was monitored by ground-based telescopes between 2005 and 2017 and by the Kepler satellite between 2009 and 2013. Using the Kepler data, we derived the magnetic cycle of the red dwarf by two ways: the rate and energy of flares and the variability due to spots. Both methods resulted in a cycle of ∼600 days, which is in agreement with magnetic cycles measured for single low-mass stars. The orbital period of KIC 10544976 shows only one long-term variation which can be fitted by an LTT effect with period of ∼16.8 yr. Hence, one possible explanation for the ETVs is the presence of a circumbinary body with a minimal mass of ∼13.4 M <SUB>Jup</SUB>. In the particular scenario of coplanarity between the external body and the inner binary, the third body mass is also ∼13.4 M <SUB>Jup</SUB>. In this case, the circumbinary planet must either have survived the evolution of the host binary or have been formed as a consequence of its evolution. | 9 |

Context. The Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI) provides continuum images and magnetograms with a cadence better than one per minute. It has been continuously observing the Sun 24 h a day for the past 7 yr. The trade-off between full disk observations and spatial resolution means that HMI is not adequate for analyzing the smallest-scale events in the solar atmosphere. <BR /> Aims: Our aim is to develop a new method to enhance HMI data, simultaneously deconvolving and super-resolving images and magnetograms. The resulting images will mimic observations with a diffraction-limited telescope twice the diameter of HMI. <BR /> Methods: Our method, which we call Enhance, is based on two deep, fully convolutional neural networks that input patches of HMI observations and output deconvolved and super-resolved data. The neural networks are trained on synthetic data obtained from simulations of the emergence of solar active regions. <BR /> Results: We have obtained deconvolved and super-resolved HMI images. To solve this ill-defined problem with infinite solutions we have used a neural network approach to add prior information from the simulations. We test Enhance against Hinode data that has been degraded to a 28 cm diameter telescope showing very good consistency. The code is open source. | 9 |
