Combining data from the ACS Virgo Cluster Survey and the Next Generation Virgo cluster Survey, we extend previous studies of color gradients of the globular cluster (GC) systems of the two most massive galaxies in the Virgo cluster, M87 and M49, to radii of ~15 R <SUB> e </SUB> (~200 kpc for M87 and ~250 kpc for M49, where R <SUB>e</SUB> is the effective radius). We find significant negative color gradients, i.e., becoming bluer with increasing distance, out to these large radii. The gradients are driven mainly by the outward decrease in the ratio of red to blue GC numbers. The color gradients are also detected out to ~15 R <SUB> e </SUB> in the red and blue subpopulations of GCs taken separately. In addition, we find a negative color gradient when we consider the satellite low-mass elliptical galaxies as a system, i.e., the satellite galaxies closer to the center of the host galaxy usually have redder color indices, for both their stars and their GCs. According to the "two phase" formation scenario of massive early-type galaxies, the host galaxy accretes stars and GCs from low-mass satellite galaxies in the second phase. So an accreted GC system naturally inherits the negative color gradient present in the satellite population. This can explain why the color gradient of the GC system can still be observed at large radii after multiple minor mergers. | 9 |

Global Land-Atmosphere Climate Experiment-Coupled Model Intercomparison Project phase 5 (GLACE-CMIP5) is a multimodel experiment investigating the impact of soil moisture-climate feedbacks in CMIP5 projections. We present here first GLACE-CMIP5 results based on five Earth System Models, focusing on impacts of projected changes in regional soil moisture dryness (mostly increases) on late 21st century climate. Projected soil moisture changes substantially impact climate in several regions in both boreal and austral summer. Strong and consistent effects are found on temperature, especially for extremes (about 1-1.5 K for mean temperature and 2-2.5 K for extreme daytime temperature). In the Northern Hemisphere, effects on mean and heavy precipitation are also found in most models, but the results are less consistent than for temperature. A direct scaling between soil moisture-induced changes in evaporative cooling and resulting changes in temperature mean and extremes is found in the simulations. In the Mediterranean region, the projected soil moisture changes affect about 25% of the projected changes in extreme temperature. | 9 |

We present the new general-relativistic magnetohydrodynamics (GRMHD) capabilities of the Einstein toolkit, an open-source community-driven numerical relativity and computational relativistic astrophysics code. The GRMHD extension of the toolkit builds upon previous releases and implements the evolution of relativistic magnetized fluids in the ideal MHD limit in fully dynamical spacetimes using the same shock-capturing techniques previously applied to hydrodynamical evolution. In order to maintain the divergence-free character of the magnetic field, the code implements both constrained transport and hyperbolic divergence cleaning schemes. We present test results for a number of MHD tests in Minkowski and curved spacetimes. Minkowski tests include aligned and oblique planar shocks, cylindrical explosions, magnetic rotors, Alfvén waves and advected loops, as well as a set of tests designed to study the response of the divergence cleaning scheme to numerically generated monopoles. We study the code's performance in curved spacetimes with spherical accretion onto a black hole on a fixed background spacetime and in fully dynamical spacetimes by evolutions of a magnetized polytropic neutron star and of the collapse of a magnetized stellar core. Our results agree well with exact solutions where these are available and we demonstrate convergence. All code and input files used to generate the results are available on http://einsteintoolkit.org. This makes our work fully reproducible and provides new users with an introduction to applications of the code. | 9 |

We present the first large-scale high angular resolution survey of ionized nitrogen in the Galactic Plane through emission of its two fine structure transitions ([N ii]) at 122 and 205 μm. The observations were largely obtained with the PACS instrument onboard the Herschel Space Observatory. The lines of sight were in the Galactic plane, following those of the Herschel OTKP project GOT C+. Both lines are reliably detected at the 10<SUP>-8</SUP>-10<SUP>-7</SUP> Wm<SUP>-2</SUP> sr<SUP>-1</SUP> level over the range -60° ≤ l ≤ 60°. The rms of the intensity among the 25 PACS spaxels of a given pointing is typically less than one third of the mean intensity, showing that the emission is extended. [N ii] is produced in gas in which hydrogen is ionized, and collisional excitation is by electrons. The ratio of the two fine structure transitions provides a direct measurement of the electron density, yielding n(e) largely in the range 10-50 cm<SUP>-3</SUP> with an average value of 29 cm<SUP>-3</SUP> and N<SUP>+</SUP> column densities 10<SUP>16</SUP>-10<SUP>17</SUP> cm<SUP>-2</SUP>. [N ii] emission is highly correlated with that of [C ii], and we calculate that between 1/3 and 1/2 of the [C ii] emission is associated with the ionized gas. The relatively high electron densities indicate that the source of the [N ii] emission is not the warm ionized medium (WIM), which has electron densities more than 100 times smaller. Possible origins of the observed [N ii] include the ionized surfaces of dense atomic and molecular clouds, the extended low-density envelopes of H ii regions, and low-filling factor high-density fluctuations of the WIM. | 9 |

We present the first cosmological constraint on dark matter scattering with protons in the early Universe for the entire range of dark matter masses between 1 keV and 1 TeV. This constraint is derived from the Planck measurements of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature and polarization anisotropy, and the CMB lensing anisotropy. It improves upon previous CMB constraints by many orders of magnitude, where limits are available, and closes the gap in coverage for low-mass dark matter candidates. We focus on two canonical interaction scenarios: spin-independent and spin-dependent scattering with no velocity dependence. Our results exclude (with 95% confidence) spin-independent interactions with cross sections greater than 5.3 ×10<SUP>-27</SUP> cm<SUP>2</SUP> for 1 keV, 3.0 ×10<SUP>-26</SUP> cm<SUP>2</SUP> for 1 MeV, 1.7 ×10<SUP>-25</SUP> cm<SUP>2</SUP> for 1 GeV, and 1.6 ×10<SUP>-23</SUP> cm<SUP>2</SUP> for 1 TeV dark matter mass. Finally, we discuss the implications of this study for dark matter physics and future observations. | 9 |

Line-of-sight effects in strong gravitational lensing have long been treated as a nuisance. However, it was recently proposed that the line-of-sight shear could be a cosmological observable in its own right, if it is not degenerate with lens model parameters. We first demonstrate that the line-of-sight shear can be accurately measured from a simple simulated strong lensing image with per cent precision. We then extend our analysis to more complex simulated images and stress test the recovery of the line-of-sight shear when using deficient fitting models, finding that it escapes from degeneracies with lens model parameters, albeit at the expense of the precision. Lastly, we check the validity of the tidal approximation by simulating and fitting an image generated in the presence of many line-of-sight dark matter haloes, finding that an explicit violation of the tidal approximation does not necessarily prevent one from measuring the line-of-sight shear. | 9 |

We investigate impacts of massive neutrinos on the cosmic velocity fields, employing high-resolution cosmological N-body simulations provided by the information-optimized CUBE code, where cosmic neutrinos are evolved using collisionless hydrodynamics and their perturbations can be accurately resolved. In this study, we focus, for the first time, on the analysis of massive-neutrino-induced suppression effects in various cosmic velocity field components of velocity magnitude, divergence, vorticity, and dispersion. By varying the neutrino mass sum M<SUB>ν</SUB> from 0 to 0.4 eV, the simulations show that the power spectra of vorticity - exclusively sourced by non-linear structure formation that is affected by massive neutrinos significantly - are very sensitive to the mass sum, which potentially provide novel signatures in detecting massive neutrinos. Furthermore, using the χ<SUP>2</SUP> statistic, we quantitatively test the sensitivity of the density and velocity power spectra to the neutrino mass sum. Indeed, we find that the vorticity spectrum has the highest sensitivity, and the null hypothesis of massless neutrinos is incompatible with both vorticity and divergence spectra from M<SUB>ν</SUB> = 0.1 eV at high significance (P-value = 0.03 and 0.07, respectively). These results demonstrate clearly the importance of peculiar velocity field measurements, in particular of vorticity and divergence components, in determination of neutrino mass and mass hierarchy. | 9 |

Since the late 20th century, young star-forming dwarf galaxies with extremely low heavy-element abundances have been identified in the local universe\cite{1972ApJ...173...25S, 1990Natur.343..238I, 2022ApJS..262....3N}. Such a population of galaxies, represented by SBS 0335-052E, is intensively studied as a laboratory of galaxy formation, and interpreted as galaxies with hard emission and energetic outflows driven by massive stars\cite{1990Natur.343..238I, 2004ApJ...606..213T, 2009AA...503...61I}. Here we report the temporal flux variability of SBS 0335-052E in $3-4 \ \mu$m bands on timescale of months to years with dimming and brightening up to 50\% over 12 years. This is a clear signature of dust torus emission of an active massive black hole in SBS 0335-052E. The deep optical spectrum reveals a very broad component with $1.24\ (\pm 0.01) \times 10^{4}$ km s$^{-1}$ in H$\alpha$ emission, suggesting emission originated from broad line regions around the massive black hole. The black hole mass is estimated to be $\sim 100$ thousand solar masses from the spectral energy distribution. This is the first example of the massive black hole existence in a long-considered young star-forming dwarf galaxy. | 9 |

Giant planets have been discovered at large separations from the central star. Moreover, a striking number of young circumstellar disks have gas and/or dust gaps at large orbital separations, potentially driven by embedded planetary objects. To form massive planets at large orbital separations through core accretion within the disk lifetime, however, an early solid body to seed pebble and gas accretion is desirable. Young protoplanetary disks are likely self-gravitating, and these gravitoturbulent disks may efficiently concentrate solid material at the midplane driven by spiral waves. We run 3D local hydrodynamical simulations of gravitoturbulent disks with Lagrangian dust particles to determine whether particle and gas self-gravity can lead to the formation of dense solid bodies, seeding later planet formation. When self-gravity between dust particles is included, solids of size St = 0.1-1 concentrate within the gravitoturbulent spiral features and collapse under their own self-gravity into dense clumps up to several M <SUB>⊕</SUB> in mass at wide orbits. Simulations with dust that drift most efficiently, St = 1, form the most massive clouds of particles, while simulations with smaller dust particles, St = 0.1, have clumps with masses an order of magnitude lower. When the effect of dust backreaction onto the gas is included, dust clumps become smaller by a factor of a few but more numerous. The existence of large solid bodies at an early stage of the disk can accelerate the planet formation process, particularly at wide orbital separations, and potentially explain planets distant from the central stars and young protoplanetary disks with substructures. | 9 |

Contact. The outskirts of galaxy clusters host complex interactions between the intracluster and circumcluster media. During the evolution of clusters, ram-pressure stripped gas clumps from infalling substructures break the uniformity of the gas distribution, potentially leading to observational biases at large radii. However, assessing the contribution of gas clumping poses observational challenges and requires robust X-ray measurements in the background-dominated regime of the cluster outskirts. <BR /> Aims: The main objectives of this study are to isolate faint gas clumps from field sources and from the diffuse emission in the Abell 1795 galaxy cluster, then to probe their impact on the observed surface brightness and thermodynamic profiles. <BR /> Methods: We performed an imaging analysis on deep Chandra ACIS-I observations of the Abell 1795 cluster outskirts, extending out to ∼1.5r<SUB>200</SUB> with full azimuthal coverage. We built the 0.7 − 2.0 keV surface brightness distribution from the adaptively binned image of the diffuse emission and looked for clumps in the form of > + 2σ surface brightness outliers. Our classification of the clump candidates was based primarily on Chandra and SDSS data. Benefiting from the point source list resolved by Chandra, we extracted the thermodynamic profiles of the intracluster medium from the associated Suzaku XIS data out to r<SUB>200</SUB> using multiple point source and clump candidate removal approaches. <BR /> Results: We identified 24 clump candidates in the Abell 1795 field, most of which are likely to be associated with background objects, including active galactic nuclei, galaxies, and clusters or groups of galaxies, as opposed to intrinsic gas clumps. These sources had minimal impact on the surface brightness and thermodynamic profiles of the cluster emission. After correcting for clump candidates, the measured entropy profile still deviates from a pure gravitational collapse, suggesting complex physics at play in the outskirts, which may include potential electron-ion non-equilibrium and non-thermal pressure support. | 9 |
