Scalfani, Gregor Simm, Marco Stenta, Georgi Stoychev, Paolo Tosco, Kazuya Ujihara, Riccardo Vianello, Franz Waibl, Rachel Walker, Patrick Walters, 'dangthatsright', 'mihalyszabo88', 'Deltaus', 'radchenkods', 'josh-collaborationspharma', 'jkh', 'yamasakih' Highlights The 2D coordinate generation can now optionally use templates when working with complex ring systems. We will continue to improve this functionality in future releases. There's now a single function which allows you to calculate all available 2D descriptors for a molecule: Descriptors.CalcMolDescriptors() Support for working with organometallic molecules has improved: drawings of these structures are now better and there's new code for switching back and forth between dative and multi-center views of the bonding in systems like ferrocene. The fingerprint generator code has been improved and expanded with the idea of allowing user to switch entirely to the new code for the supported fingerprint types: Morgan, RDKit, topological torsion, and atom pairs. Backwards incompatible changes The ring-finding functions will now run even if the molecule already has ring information. Older versions of the RDKit would return whatever ring information was present, even if it had been generated using a different algorithm. The ring-finding functions now no longer consider dative bonds as possible ring bonds by default. All of the ring-finding functions have a new optional argument includeDativeBonds which can be used to change this behavior Generating 2D coordinates no longer has the side effect of running ring finding on molecules. The canonical SMILES and CXSMILES generated for molecules with enhanced stereochemistry (stereo groups) is different than in previous releases. The enhanced stereochemistry information and the stereo groups themselves are now canonical. This does not affect molecules which do not have enhanced stereo and will not have any effect if you generate non-isomeric SMILES. This change also affects the output of the MolHash and RegistrationHash code when applied to molecules with enhanced stereo. The doIsomericSmiles parameter in Java and C# ROMol.MolToSmiles() now defaults to true (previously it was false), thus aligning to the C++ and Python behavior. Double bonds which are marked as crossed (i.e. bond.GetBondDir() == Bond.BondDir.EITHERDOUBLE) now have their BondStereo set to Bond.BondStereo.STEREOANY and the BondDir information removed by default when molecules are parsed or AssignStereochemistry() is called with the cleanIt argument set to True. The conformers generated for molecules with three-coordinate chiral centers will be somewhat different due to the fix for #5883. Molecules which come from Mol or SDF files will now always have the "_MolFileChiralFlag" property set to the value of the chiral flag in the CTAB. In previous versions the property was not set if the chiral flag was 0.

We analyze in-situ observations of imbalanced solar wind turbulence to evaluate MHD turbulence models grounded in "Critical Balance" (CB) and "Scale-Dependent Dynamic Alignment" (SDDA). At energy injection scales, both outgoing and ingoing modes exhibit a weak cascade; a simultaneous tightening of SDDA is noted. Outgoing modes persist in a weak cascade across the inertial range, while ingoing modes shift to a strong cascade at $\lambda \approx 3 \times 10^{4} d_i$, with associated spectral scalings deviating from expected behavior due to "anomalous coherence" effects. The inertial range comprises two distinct sub-inertial segments. Beyond $\lambda \gtrsim 100 d_i$, eddies adopt a field-aligned tube topology, with SDDA signatures mainly evident in high amplitude fluctuations. The scaling exponents $\zeta_{n}$ of the $n$-th order conditional structure functions, orthogonal to both the local mean field and fluctuation direction, align with the analytical models of Chandran et al. 2015 and Mallet et al. 2017, indicating "multifractal" statistics and strong intermittency; however, scaling in parallel and displacement components is more concave than predicted, possibly influenced by expansion effects. Below $\lambda \approx 100 d_i$, eddies become increasingly anisotropic, evolving into thin current sheet-like structures. Concurrently, $\zeta_{n}$ scales linearly with order, marking a shift towards "monofractal" statistics. At $\lambda \approx 8 d_i$, the increase in aspect ratio halts, and the eddies become quasi-isotropic. This change may signal tearing instability, leading to reconnection, or result from energy redirection into the ion-cyclotron wave spectrum, aligning with the "helicity barrier". Our analysis utilizes 5-point structure functions, proving more effective than the traditional 2-point method in capturing steep scaling behaviors at smaller scales.

We report on spin variations in the intermediate polar and cataclysmic variable CC Scl, as seen by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS). By studying both the spin period and its harmonic, we find that the spin has varied since it was first observed in 2011. We find the latest spin value for the source to be 389.473(6) s, equivalent to 0.00450779(7) d, 0.02 s shorter than the first value measured. A linear fit to these and intermediate data give a rate of change of spin (Ṗ) ~ -4.26(2.66)× 10<SUP>-11</SUP> and a characteristic time-scale τ ~ 2.90 × 10<SUP>5</SUP> yr, in line with other known intermediate polars with varying spin. The spin profile of this source also matches theoretical spin profiles of high-inclination intermediate polars, and furthermore, appears to have changed in shape over a period of three years. Such 'spin-up' in an intermediate polar is considered to be from mass accretion on to the white dwarf (the primary), and we note the presence of dwarf nova eruptions in this source as being a possible catalyst of the variations.

Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are traditionally divided into long and short according to their durations (lg2 s). It was generally believed that this reflects a different physical origin: collapsars (long) and non-collapsars (short). We have recently shown that the duration distribution of collapsars is flat, namely, independent of the duration, at short durations. Using this model for the distribution of Collapsars we determine the duration distribution of non-Collapsars and estimate the probability that a burst with a given duration (and hardness) is a Collapsar or not. We find that this probability depends strongly on the spectral window of the observing detector. While the commonly used limit of 2 s is conservative and suitable for BATSE bursts, 40% of Swift's bursts shorter than 2 s are Collapsars and the division lg0.8 s is more suitable for Swift. We find that the duration overlap of the two populations is very large. On the one hand there is a non-negligible fraction of non-Collapsars longer than 10 s, while on the other hand even bursts shorter than 0.5 s in the Swift sample have a non-negligible probability to be Collapsars. Our results enable the construction of non-Collapsar samples while controlling the Collapsar contamination. They also highlight that no firm conclusions can be drawn based on a single burst and they have numerous implications concerning previous studies of non-Collapsar properties that were based on the current significantly contaminated Swift samples of localized short GRBs. Specifically (1) all known short bursts with z &gt; 1 are most likely Collapsars; (2) the only short burst with a clear jet break is most likely a Collapsar, indicating our lack of knowledge concerning non-Collapsar beaming; and (3) the existence of non-Collapsars with durations up to 10 s imposes new challenges to non-Collapsar models.

We study the topological susceptibility in 2 + 1 flavor QCD above the chiral crossover transition temperature using Highly Improved Staggered Quark action and several lattice spacings corresponding to temporal extent of the lattice, N<SUB>τ</SUB> = 6 , 8 , 10 and 12. We observe very distinct temperature dependences of the topological susceptibility in the ranges above and below 250 MeV. While for temperatures above 250 MeV, the dependence is found to be consistent with dilute instanton gas approximation, at lower temperatures the fall-off of topological susceptibility is milder. We discuss the consequence of our results for cosmology wherein we estimate the bounds on the axion decay constant and the oscillation temperature if indeed the QCD axion is a possible dark matter candidate.

Calcium-rich gap transients represent an intriguing new class of faint and fast-evolving supernovae that exhibit strong [Ca II] emission in their nebular phase spectra. In this paper, we present the discovery and follow-up observations of a faint and fast-evolving transient, iPTF 16hgs, that exhibited a double-peaked light curve. Exhibiting a Type Ib spectrum in the photospheric phase and an early transition to a [Ca II] dominated nebular phase, iPTF 16hgs shows properties consistent with the class of Ca-rich gap transients, with two important exceptions. First, while the second peak of the light curve is similar to other Ca-rich gap transients, the first blue and fast-fading peak (declining over ≈2 days) is unique to this source. Second, we find that iPTF 16hgs occurred in the outskirts (projected offset of ≈6 kpc ≈ 1.9 R <SUB>eff</SUB>) of a low-metallicity (≈0.4 Z <SUB>⊙</SUB>), star-forming, dwarf spiral galaxy. Deep limits from late-time radio observations suggest a low-density environment for the source. If iPTF 16hgs shares explosion physics with the class of Ca-rich gap transients, the first peak can be explained by the presence of 0.01 M <SUB>⊙</SUB> of <SUP>56</SUP>Ni in the outer layers the ejecta, reminiscent of some models of He-shell detonations on WDs. However, if iPTF 16hgs is physically unrelated to the class, the first peak is consistent with shock cooling emission (of an envelope with a mass of ≈0.08 M <SUB>⊙</SUB> and radius of ≈13 R <SUB>⊙</SUB>) in a core-collapse explosion of a highly stripped massive star in a close binary system.

The anomalous X-ray pulsar XTE J1810-197 was the first magnetar found to emit pulsed radio emission. After spending almost a decade in a quiescent, radio-silent state, the magnetar was reported to have undergone a radio outburst in 2018 December. We observed radio pulsations from XTE J1810-197 during this early phase of its radio revival using the Ultra-Wideband Low receiver system of the Parkes radio telescope, obtaining wideband (704-4032 MHz) polarization pulse profiles, single pulses, and flux density measurements. Dramatic changes in polarization and rapid variations of the position angle of linear polarization across the main pulse and in time have been observed. The pulse profile exhibits similar structures throughout our three observations (over a week timescale), displaying a small amount of profile evolution in terms of polarization and pulse width across the wideband. We measured a flat radio spectrum across the band with a positive spectral index, in addition to small levels of flux and spectral index variability across our observing span. The observed wideband polarization properties are significantly different compared to those taken after the 2003 outburst, and therefore provide new information about the origin of radio emission.

We identify 45 protostellar outflows in CO maps of the Orion A giant molecular cloud from the Combined Array for Research in Millimeter-wave Astronomy-Nobeyama Radio Observatory Orion survey. Our sample includes 11 newly detected outflows. We measure the mass and energetics of the outflows, including material at low velocities, by correcting for cloud contributions. The total momentum and kinetic energy injection rates of outflows are comparable to the turbulent dissipation rate of the cloud. We also compare the outflow position angles to the orientation of C<SUP>18</SUP>O filaments. We find that the full sample of outflows is consistent with being randomly oriented with respect to the filaments. A subsample of the most reliable measurements shows a moderately perpendicular outflow-filament alignment that may reflect accretion of mass across filaments and onto the protostellar cores.

The linear response of a stellar system's gravitational potential to a perturbing mass comprises two distinct contributions. Most famously, the system will respond by forming a polarization 'wake' around the perturber. At the same time, the perturber may also excite one or more 'Landau modes', i.e. coherent oscillations of the entire stellar system which are either stable or unstable depending on the system parameters. The amplitude of the first (wake) contribution is known to diverge as a system approaches marginal stability. In this paper, we consider the linear response of a homogeneous stellar system to a point mass moving on a straight line orbit. We prove analytically that the divergence of the wake response is in fact cancelled by a corresponding divergence in the Landau mode response, rendering the total response finite. We demonstrate this cancellation explicitly for a box of stars with Maxwellian velocity distribution. Our results imply that polarization wakes may be much less efficient drivers of secular evolution than previously thought. More generally, any prior calculation that accounted for wakes but ignored modes - such as those based on the Balescu-Lenard equation - may need to be revised.

The thermal and chemical properties of the hot diffuse intragroup medium (IGrM) provide important constraints on the feedback processes associated with massive galaxy formation and evolution. Here we explore these constraints via a detailed analysis of the global properties of simulated z &lt; 3 galaxy groups drawn from a cosmological simulation that includes a well-constrained prescription for momentum-driven, stellar/supernova-powered galactic outflows but no active galactic nucleus (AGN) feedback. Our simulation successfully reproduces the key observed IGrM properties, including X-ray trends, for all but the most massive groups. The z &lt; 1 redshift evolution of these is also consistent with the observations. Contrary to expectations, the simulated groups' IGrM does not suffer catastrophic cooling. Yet, the z = 0 group stellar mass is ∼2× too large. We show that this is due to the build-up of cold gas in the massive galaxies before they are incorporated inside groups. This indicates that other feedback mechanisms must activate in real galaxies once they grow to M<SUB>*</SUB> ≈ a few ×10<SUP>10</SUP> M<SUB>⊙</SUB> and that these must be powerful enough to expel a significant fraction of the gas from the galactic haloes. Gentle `maintenance-mode' AGN feedback would be insufficient to bring the stellar and baryonic fractions into agreement with the observations. Just as importantly, we find that the stellar/supernova-powered winds are essential for understanding the IGrM metal abundances. Our simulation is able to reproduce the observed relationship between the global IGrM iron and silicon abundances and the group X-ray temperature, and these results should be relatively insensitive to the addition of AGN feedback.

We have collected from different surveys some significant spectroscopic data observed from star-forming galaxies in the local Universe. The objects showing a relatively rich spectrum in number of lines from different elements were selected in order to constrain the models. In particular, we looked at the relatively weak lines such as [OIII]4363, HeII4686, HeI4471 and HeI5876. We have modelled in detail the spectra by the coupled effect of photoionization from the stars and shocks. We have found that the abundances relative to H of most of the elements are lower than solar but not as low as those evaluated by the direct strong line and the Te methods. Sulfur which appears through the [SII]6717, 6731 and [SIII]6312 lines is not depleted, revealing a strong contribution from the ISM. We have added to the sample the optical-UV spectra of local low-metallicity dwarf galaxies containing the CIV/Hb and CIII]/Hb line ratios in order to determine with relative precision the C/H relative abundance. The results show He/H lower than solar in some objects and suggest that the geometrical thickness of the clouds constrains the HeII/Hb line ratios. We explain the low He/H by mixing of the wind from the star-forming region with ISM clouds.

We present an analytic model for bolometric light curves which are powered by the interaction between supernova ejecta and a dense circumstellar medium. This model is aimed at modelling Type IIn supernovae to determine the properties of their supernova ejecta and circumstellar medium. Our model is not restricted to the case of steady mass loss and can be applied broadly. We only consider the case in which the optical depth of the unshocked circumstellar medium is not high enough to affect the light curves. We derive the luminosity evolution based on an analytic solution for the evolution of a dense shell created by the interaction. We compare our model bolometric light curves to observed bolometric light curves of three Type IIn supernovae (2005ip, 2006jd, 2010jl) and show that our model can constrain their supernova ejecta and circumstellar medium properties. Our analytic model is supported by numerical light curves from the same initial conditions.

The chemical fingerprints of the first stars are retained within the photospheres of ancient unevolved metal-poor stars. A significant fraction of these stellar fossils is represented by stars known as Carbon-Enhanced Metal-Poor (CEMP), $\mathrm{[C/Fe]} \gt +0.7$ and $\mathrm{[Fe/H]} \lt -2$, which are likely imprinted by low-energy primordial supernovae. These CEMP stars are largely observed in the Galactic halo and ultrafaint dwarf galaxies, with values reaching $\rm [C/Fe]=+4.5$. The Galactic bulge is predicted to host the oldest stars, but it shows a striking dearth of CEMP stars with $\rm [C/Fe]\gtrsim +2.0$. Here, we explore the possible reasons for this anomaly by performing a statistical analysis of the observations of metal-poor stars in combination with the predictions of Lambda cold dark matter models. We suggest that the dearth of CEMP stars with high $\mathrm{[C/Fe]}$ is not due to the low statistics of observed metal-poor stars but is the result of the different formation process of the bulge. N-body simulations show that the first star-forming haloes which end up in the bulge are characterized by the highest star formation rates. These rates enable the formation of rare massive first stars exploding as pair-instability supernovae (PISNe), which wash out the signature of primordial faint supernovae. We demonstrate that the mean $\mathrm{[C/Fe]}$ of first stars polluted environments decreases with the increasing contribution of PISNe. We conclude that the dearth of CEMP stars in the Galactic bulge indirectly probes the existence of elusive PISNe, and propose a novel method which exploits this lack to constrain the mass distribution of the first stars.

Though free-floating planets (FFPs) that have been ejected from their natal star systems may outpopulate their bound counterparts in the terrestrial-mass range, they remain one of the least explored exoplanet demographics. Due to their negligible electromagnetic emission at all wavelengths, the only observational technique able to detect these worlds is gravitational microlensing. Microlensing by terrestrial-mass FFPs induces rare, short-duration magnifications of background stars, requiring high-cadence, wide-field surveys to detect these events. The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), though designed to detect close-bound exoplanets via the transit technique, boasts a cadence as short as 200 seconds and has monitored hundreds of millions of stars, making it well-suited to search for short-duration microlensing events as well. We have used existing data products from the TESS Quick-Look Pipeline (QLP) to perform a preliminary search for FFP microlensing candidates in 1.3 million light curves from TESS Sector 61. We find one compelling candidate associated with TIC-107150013, a source star at $d_s = 3.194$ kpc. The event has a duration $t_E = 0.074^{+0.002}_{-0.002}$ days and shows prominent finite-source features ($\rho = 4.55^{+0.08}_{-0.07}$), making it consistent with an FFP in the terrestrial-mass range. This exciting result indicates that our ongoing search through all TESS sectors has the opportunity to shed new light on this enigmatic population of worlds.

We discuss observations of the journey throughout the Solar System of a large interplanetary coronal mass ejection (ICME) that was ejected at the Sun on 14 October 2014. The ICME hit Mars on 17 October, as observed by the Mars Express, Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN Mission (MAVEN), Mars Odyssey, and Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) missions, 44 h before the encounter of the planet with the Siding-Spring comet, for which the space weather context is provided. It reached comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, which was perfectly aligned with the Sun and Mars at 3.1 AU, as observed by Rosetta on 22 October. The ICME was also detected by STEREO-A on 16 October at 1 AU, and by Cassini in the solar wind around Saturn on the 12 November at 9.9 AU. Fortuitously, the New Horizons spacecraft was also aligned with the direction of the ICME at 31.6 AU. We investigate whether this ICME has a nonambiguous signature at New Horizons. A potential detection of this ICME by Voyager 2 at 110-111 AU is also discussed. The multispacecraft observations allow the derivation of certain properties of the ICME, such as its large angular extension of at least 116°, its speed as a function of distance, and its magnetic field structure at four locations from 1 to 10 AU. Observations of the speed data allow two different solar wind propagation models to be validated. Finally, we compare the Forbush decreases (transient decreases followed by gradual recoveries in the galactic cosmic ray intensity) due to the passage of this ICME at Mars, comet 67P, and Saturn.

We develop a general relativistic radiation magnetohydrodynamics (GR-RMHD) code INAZUMA in which the time-dependent radiation transfer equation (frequency-integrated Boltzmann equation) is solved in curved spacetime. The Eddington tensor is derived from the specific intensity, and we solve the zeroth and first moment equations in order to update the radiation fields. Therefore, our code can solve the radiation field around relativistic compact objects more appropriately than an approximation method like the M1 closure scheme. The numerical scheme of magnetohydrodynamics is the same as that of our previous code. In some test calculations for propagating radiation and radiation hydrodynamics in flat spacetime, our code shows similar results to our previous work. Radiation propagation in curved spacetime is also properly solved for. We also show the radiation transport from the super-Eddington accretion disk around the black hole. The disk structure, such as the density, velocity, and temperature, is fixed by the model obtained using the GR-RMHD simulation with the M1 method. We found that the difference between our scheme and the M1 method appears in the optically thin outflow region around the rotation axis while the radiation field is almost the same in the optically thick disk region.
