The discovery and spectroscopic confirmation of Hyperion, a protosupercluster at z ~ 2.47, provides an unprecedented opportunity to study distant galaxies in the context of their large-scale environment. We carry out deep narrowband imaging of a ≈1° × 1° region around Hyperion and select 157 Lyα emitters (LAEs). The inferred LAE overdensity is δ <SUB> g </SUB> ≈ 40 within an effective volume of 30 × 20 × 15 cMpc<SUP>3</SUP>, consistent with the fact that Hyperion is composed of multiple protoclusters and will evolve into a supercluster with a total mass of M <SUB>tot</SUB> ≈ 1.4 × 10<SUP>15</SUP> M <SUB>⊙</SUB> at z = 0. The distribution of LAEs closely mirrors that of known spectroscopic members, tracing the protocluster cores and extended filamentary arms connected to them, suggesting that they trace the same large-scale structure. By cross-correlating the LAE positions with H I tomography data, we find weak evidence that LAEs may be less abundant in the highest H I regions, perhaps because Lyα is suppressed in such regions. The Hyperion region hosts a large population of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) ≈ 12 times more abundant than that in the field. The prevalence of AGNs in protocluster regions hints at the possibility that they may be triggered by physical processes that occur more frequently in dense environments, such as galaxy mergers. Our study demonstrates LAEs as reliable markers of the largest cosmic structures. When combined with ongoing and upcoming imaging and spectroscopic surveys, wide-field narrowband imaging has the potential to advance our knowledge in the formation and evolution of cosmic structures and of their galaxy inhabitants. | 9 |

High-mass accretion rate on to strongly magnetized neutron stars results in the appearance of accretion columns supported by the radiation pressure and confined by the strong magnetic field of a star. At mass accretion rates above $\sim 10^{19}\, {\rm g\, s^{-1}}$ , accretion columns are expected to be advective. Under such conditions, a noticeable part of the total energy release can be carried away by neutrinos of a MeV energy range. Relying on a simple model of the neutrino luminosity of accreting strongly magnetized neutron stars, we estimate the neutrino energy fluxes expected from six ULX pulsars known up to date and three brightest Be X-ray transits hosting magnetized neutron stars. Despite the large neutrino luminosity expected in ULX pulsars, the neutrino energy flux from the Be X-ray transients of our Galaxy, Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC), and Large Magellanic Cloud is dominant. However, the neutrino flux from the brightest X-ray transients is estimated to be below the isotropic background by two orders of magnitude at least, which makes impossible direct registration of neutrino emission from accreting strongly magnetized neutron stars nowadays. | 9 |

High-redshift gamma-ray blazars (z>3) offer the possibility to study black hole growth, accretion processes and jet acceleration in the early Universe. The most luminous blazars, detectable out to high redshifts, tend to have the peaks in their non-thermal spectral energy distributions at relatively low frequencies, with the high-energy peak often appearing at MeV energies. In addition, the cosmological redshift further shifts the SED peaks towards lower frequencies. Because of their low fluxes and soft gamma-ray spectra, the detection of gamma-ray emission from these sources is difficult and only about a dozen have been detected by the Large Area Telescope (LAT) onboard the Fermi satellite. Flaring events provide a unique opportunity to detect and characterize the gamma-ray emission from high-z blazars and to gather contemporaneous multiwavelength observations that are necessary to interpret their spectral energy distribution. For this reason, we have designed a program to find flares in high-z blazars by using the public Fermi-LAT data, which is suitable to trigger multi-wavelength observations. In February 2022, we detected a long-term flare by the very distant blazar GB 1508+5714 (z=4.31), whose detection at gamma-ray energies was reported in 2017. The flaring event was accompanied by a significant spectral hardening, indicating considerable changes in the gamma-ray spectrum. We obtained follow-up observations across the electromagnetic spectrum and put a focus on observations at radio frequencies. We launched a dense, long-term monitoring campaign with the Effelsberg radio telescope to study the radio-gamma correlation for this high-redshift blazar. Previous VLBI observations revealed an extended jet emission being visible for GB 1508+5714. Hence, we acquired three VLBI observations with the VLBA and Effelsberg, which were taken with a cadence of five months in order to search for potential changes in the appearance of the jet. We will present the VLBI maps and broadband modelling of GB 1508+5714 with simultaneous multi-wavelength data taken during the flare, and put our findings in the context of future MeV missions. | 9 |

This paper provides a detailed analysis of the main component of the slow neutron capture process (the s-process), which accounts for the solar abundances of half of the nuclei with 90 ≲ A ≲ 208. We examine the impact of the uncertainties of the two neutron sources operating in low-mass asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars: the <SUP>13</SUP>C(α, n)<SUP>16</SUP>O reaction, which releases neutrons radiatively during interpulse periods (kT ∼ 8 keV), and the <SUP>22</SUP>Ne(α, n)<SUP>25</SUP>Mg reaction, partially activated during the convective thermal pulses (TPs). We focus our attention on the branching points that mainly influence the abundance of s-only isotopes. In our AGB models, the <SUP>13</SUP>C is fully consumed radiatively during interpulse. In this case, we find that the present uncertainty associated with the <SUP>13</SUP>C(α, n)<SUP>16</SUP>O reaction has marginal effects on s-only nuclei. On the other hand, a reduction of this rate may increase the amount of residual (or unburned) <SUP>13</SUP>C at the end of the interpulse: in this condition, the residual <SUP>13</SUP>C is burned at higher temperature in the convective zone powered by the following TP. The neutron burst produced by the <SUP>22</SUP>Ne(α, n)<SUP>25</SUP>Mg reaction has major effects on the branches along the s-path. The contributions of s-only isotopes with 90 ≲ A ≤ 204 are reproduced within solar and nuclear uncertainties, even if the <SUP>22</SUP>Ne(α, n)<SUP>25</SUP>Mg rate is varied by a factor of 2. Improved β-decay and neutron capture rates of a few key radioactive nuclides would help to attain a comprehensive understanding of the solar main component. | 9 |

Strong high-ionization iron coronal lines (CLs) are a rare phenomenon observed in galaxy and quasi-stellar object spectra that are thought to be created as a result of tidal disruption event (TDE) flares. To test whether these CLs are the result of TDE activity, we search for extreme coronal line emitting galaxies (ECLEs) in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), measure their rate, and compare it to TDE rates from the literature. We detect sufficiently strong CLs in 14 objects, doubling the number previously found in SDSS. Using follow-up spectra from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument and Gemini Multi-Object Spectrograph, Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer mid-infrared observations, and Liverpool Telescope optical photometry, we find that of the seven new objects, only one evolves in a manner consistent with that of the five previously discovered variable ECLEs. Using this new sample of six variable ECLEs, we calculate the galaxy-normalised rate of ECLEs in SDSS to be $R_\mathrm{G}=2.2~^{+1.3}_{-0.8}~(\mathrm{statistical})~^{+0.0}_{-1.3}~(\mathrm{systematic})\times10^{-5}~\mathrm{galaxy}^{-1}~\mathrm{year}^{-1}$. The mass-normalised rate is $R_\mathrm{M}=1.9~^{+1.1}_{-0.7}~(\mathrm{statistical})~^{+0.0}_{-1.1}~(\mathrm{systematic})\times10^{-16}~\mathrm{M_\odot^{-1}}~\mathrm{year}^{-1}$ and the volumetric rate is $R_\mathrm{V}=6.9~^{+5.6}_{-2.1}~(\mathrm{statistical})~^{+0.0}_{-3.9}~(\mathrm{systematic})\times10^{-8}~\mathrm{Mpc}^{-3}~\mathrm{year}^{-1}$. Our rates are comparable to TDE rates from the literature, supporting the suggestion that the CLs in variable ECLEs are the product of TDEs. | 9 |

We derive a catalog of early-type emission-line stars including 30,023 spectra of 25,867 stars from LAMOST Data Release 7, in which 4189 have Simbad records. The spectra are classified into three morphological types (10 subtypes) based on Hα emission-line profiles. Some spectra contaminated by nebula emission lines such as from H II regions are flagged in the catalog. We also provide a specific catalog of 20 stars with stellar winds or accretion flows by calculating the terminal and peak velocities based on P-Cygni or inverse P-Cygni profiles.

We present the results of the neutron star X-ray binary system Cen X-3 performed by Insight-HXMT with two observations during 2017 and 2018. During these two observations, the source reached a X-ray luminosity of ~10<SUP>38</SUP> erg s<SUP>-1</SUP> from 2-105 keV. The analysis of the broadband X-ray spectrum reports the presence of two cyclotron resonance scattering features (CRSFs) with the fundamental line at ~ 28 keV and the harmonic line at ~47 keV. The multiple lines exist by fittings with different continuum models, like the absorbed negative and positive power-law with an exponential cutoff (NPEX) model and a power-law with high energy exponential cutoff model. This is the first time that both fundamental and harmonic lines are detected in Cen X-3. We also show evidence of two cyclotron lines in the phase-resolved spectrum of Cen X-3. The CRSF and continuum spectral parameters show evolution with the pulse profile, and the two line centroid energy ratio does not change significantly and locates in a narrow value range of 1.6-1.7 over the pulse phase. The implications of the discovering two cyclotron absorption features and phase-resolved spectral properties are discussed. | 9 |

this invention is based upon the discovery that activated carbon can be used to sequester polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons that may be present in asphalt and creosote compositions . the treatment of asphalt and creosote compositions with activated carbon accordingly reduces the level of free polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in such compositions by sequestering them therein or removing them from the composition . after being sequestered the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons remain trapped in the asphalt or creosote composition , and are not available to the environment during normal processing into useful industrial products . this sequestration reduces the risk of exposing humans and the environment to the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons which would otherwise be free to migrate from the asphalt or creosote product during manufacturing and the service life of the product . in other words , the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are absorbed onto the activated carbon and are not available for bioaccumulation from the environment . | 2 |

Sediment fingerprinting is a technique that is increasingly being used to improve the understanding of sediment dynamics within river basins. At present, one of the main limitations of the technique is the ability to link sediment back to their sources due to the non-conservative nature of many of the sediment properties. The processes that occur between the sediment source locations and the point of collection downstream are not well understood or quantified and currently represent a black-box in the sediment fingerprinting approach. The literature on sediment fingerprinting tends to assume that there is a direct connection between sources and sinks, while much of the broader environmental sedimentology literature identifies that numerous chemical, biological and physical transformations and alterations can occur as sediment moves through the landscape. The focus of this paper is on the processes that drive particle size and organic matter selectivity and biological, geochemical and physical transformations and how understanding these processes can be used to guide sampling protocols, fingerprint selection and data interpretation. The application of statistical approaches without consideration of how unique sediment fingerprints have developed and how robust they are within the environment is a major limitation of many recent studies. This review summarises the current information, identifies areas that need further investigation and provides recommendations for sediment fingerprinting that should be considered for adoption in future studies if the full potential and utility of the approach are to be realised. | 9 |

Context. GRB 220627A is a rare burst with two distinct γ-ray emission episodes separated by almost 1000 s that triggered the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor twice. High-energy GeV emission was detected by the Fermi Large Area Telescope coincident with the first emission episode but not the second. The discovery of the optical afterglow with MeerLICHT led to MUSE observations which secured the burst redshift to z = 3.08, making this the most distant ultra-long gamma-ray burst (GRB) detected to date. <BR /> Aims: The progenitors of some ultra-long GRBs have been suggested in the literature to be different to those of normal long GRBs. Our aim is to determine whether the afterglow and host properties of GRB 220627A agree with this interpretation. <BR /> Methods: We performed empirical and theoretical modelling of the afterglow data within the external forward shock framework, and determined the metallicity of the GRB environment through modelling the absorption lines in the MUSE spectrum. <BR /> Results: Our optical data show evidence for a jet break in the light curve at ∼1.2 days, while our theoretical modelling shows a preference for a homogeneous circumburst medium. Our forward shock parameters are typical for the wider GRB population, and we find that the environment of the burst is characterised by a sub-solar metallicity. <BR /> Conclusions: Our observations and modelling of GRB 220627A do not suggest that a different progenitor compared to the progenitor of normal long GRBs is required. We find that more observations of ultra-long GRBs are needed to determine if they form a separate population with distinct prompt and afterglow features, and possibly distinct progenitors. | 9 |

We present photometric and spectroscopic observations of the interacting transient SN 2009ip taken during the 2013 and 2014 observing seasons. We characterize the photometric evolution as a steady and smooth decline in all bands, with a decline rate that is slower than expected for a solely <SUP>56</SUP>Co-powered supernova at late phases. No further outbursts or eruptions were seen over a two year period from 2012 December until 2014 December. SN 2009ip remains brighter than its historic minimum from pre-discovery images. Spectroscopically, SN 2009ip continues to be dominated by strong, narrow (≲2000 km s<SUP>- 1</SUP>) emission lines of H, He, Ca, and Fe. While we make tenuous detections of [Fe II] λ7155 and [O I] λλ6300, 6364 lines at the end of 2013 June and the start of 2013 October, respectively, we see no strong broad nebular emission lines that could point to a core-collapse origin. In general, the lines appear relatively symmetric, with the exception of our final spectrum in 2014 May, when we observe the appearance of a redshifted shoulder of emission at +550 km s<SUP>- 1</SUP>. The lines are not blueshifted, and we see no significant near- or mid-infrared excess. From the spectroscopic and photometric evolution of SN 2009ip until 820 d after the start of the 2012a event, we still see no conclusive evidence for core-collapse, although whether any such signs could be masked by ongoing interaction is unclear. | 9 |

While X-ray emission from active galactic nuclei (AGN) is common, the detailed physics behind this emission is not well understood. This is in part because high quality broad-band spectra are required to precisely derive fundamental parameters of X-ray emission, such as the photon index, folding energy, and reflection coefficient. Here, we present values of such parameters for 33 AGN observed as part of the 105-month Swift/BAT campaign and with coordinated archival XMM-Newton and NuSTAR observations. We look for correlations between the various coronal parameters in addition to correlations between coronal parameters and physical properties, such as black hole mass and Eddington ratio. Using our empirical model, we find good fits to almost all of our objects. The folding energy was constrained for 30 of our 33 objects. When comparing Seyfert 1-1.9 to Seyfert 2 galaxies, a K-S test indicates that Seyfert 2 AGN have lower Eddington ratios and photon indices than Seyfert 1-1.9 objects with p-values of 5.6 × 10<SUP>-5</SUP> and 7.5 × 10<SUP>-3</SUP>, respectively. We recover a known correlation between photon index and reflection coefficient as well as the X-ray Baldwin effect. Finally, we find that the inclusion of the high-energy Swift/BAT data significantly reduces the uncertainties of spectral parameters as compared to fits without the BAT data. | 9 |

The discovery of the first two macroscopic interstellar objects (ISOs) passing through the Solar System has opened entirely new perspectives in planetary science. The exploration of these objects offers a qualitatively new insight into the processes related to the origin, structure and evolution of planetary systems throughout the Galaxy. Knowledge about these phenomena will greatly advance if current and future sky surveys discover more ISOs. On the other hand, the surveys require better characterization of this population in order to improve their discovery algorithms. However, despite their scientific significance, there is still no comprehensive orbital model of ISOs in the Solar System and computationally efficient algorithm for generating their synthetic representations that would respond to these increasing needs. Currently available method for generating synthetic populations cannot fully take into account important phenomena, such as gravitational focusing and the shielding effect of the Sun. On the other hand, this method is also computationally far too demanding to be used for systematic exploration of the ISO population. This paper presents an analytical method for determining the distributions of the orbital elements of ISOs, as well as computationally efficient algorithm for generating their synthetic populations, based on the multivariate inverse transform sampling method. The developed method is several orders of magnitudes more efficient than the available method, depending on the size of the synthetic population. A Python implementation of the method is freely available and can be used to generate synthetic populations of ISOs with user-defined input parameters. | 9 |

Betelgeuse, a nearby red supergiant, is a fast-moving star with a powerful stellar wind that drives a bow shock into its surroundings. This picture has been challenged by the discovery of a dense and almost static shell that is three times closer to the star than the bow shock and has been decelerated by some external force. The two physically distinct structures cannot both be formed by the hydrodynamic interaction of the wind with the interstellar medium. Here we report that a model in which Betelgeuse's wind is photoionized by radiation from external sources can explain the static shell without requiring a new understanding of the bow shock. Pressure from the photoionized wind generates a standing shock in the neutral part of the wind and forms an almost static, photoionization-confined shell. Other red supergiants should have much more massive shells than Betelgeuse, because the photoionization-confined shell traps up to 35 per cent of all mass lost during the red supergiant phase, confining this gas close to the star until it explodes. After the supernova explosion, massive shells dramatically affect the supernova light curve, providing a natural explanation for the many supernovae that have signatures of circumstellar interaction. | 9 |
