MAXI J1820+070 is a transient black hole binary discovered on 2018 March 11. The unprecedented rich statistics brought by the NICER X-ray telescope allow detailed timing analyses up to ~1 kHz uncompromised by photon shot noise. To estimate the time lags, a Fourier analysis was applied, which led to two different conclusions for the system configuration: one supporting a lamp-post configuration with a stable accretion disk extending close to the innermost stable circular orbit and the other supporting a truncated accretion disk contracting with time. Using the same data set, we present the results based on the cross-correlation function (CCF). The CCF is calculated between two different X-ray bands where one side is subtracted from the other side, which we call the differential CCF (dCCF). Soft and hard lags of ~0.03 and 3 s, respectively, are clearly identified without being diluted by the spectral mixture, demonstrating the effectiveness of the dCCF analysis. The evolution of these lags is tracked, along with spectral changes for the first 120 days since discovery. Both the dCCF and spectral fitting results are interpreted as the soft lag being a reverberation lag between the Comptonized emission and the soft excess emission, and that the hard lag is between the disk blackbody emission and the Comptonized emission. The evolutions of these lags are in line with the picture of a truncated disk contracting with time. | 9 |

The external Hartle-Thorne geometry, which describes the spacetime outside a slowly rotating compact star, is characterized by the gravitational mass M, angular momentum J, and quadrupole moment Q of the star and gives a convenient description, which, for the rotation frequencies of more than 95% of known pulsars, is sufficiently accurate for most purposes. We focus here on the motion of particles in these spacetimes, presenting a detailed systematic analysis of the frequency properties of radial and vertical epicyclic motion and of orbital motion. Our investigation is motivated by X-ray observations of binary systems containing a rotating neutron star that is accreting matter from its binary companion. In these systems, twin high-frequency quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) are sometimes observed with a frequency ratio approaching 3:2 or 5:4, and these may be explained by models involving the orbital and epicyclic frequencies of quasi-circular geodesic motion. In our analysis, we use realistic equations of state for the stellar matter and proceed in a self-consistent way, following the Hartle-Thorne approach in calculating both the corresponding values of Q, M, and J for the stellar model and the properties of the surrounding spacetime. Our results are then applied to a range of geodetical models for QPOs. A key feature of our study is that it implements the recently discovered universal relations among neutron-star parameters so that the results can be directly used for models with different masses M, radii R, and rotational frequencies f <SUB>rot</SUB>. | 9 |

This study presents a general outline of the Qitai radio telescope (QTT) project. Qitai, the site of the telescope, is a county of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region of China, located in the east Tianshan Mountains at an elevation of about 1800 m. The QTT is a fully steerable, Gregorian-type telescope with a standard parabolic main reflector of 110 m diameter. The QTT has adopted an umbrella support, homology-symmetric lightweight design. The main reflector is active so that the deformation caused by gravity can be corrected. The structural design aims to ultimately allow high-sensitivity observations from 150 MHz up to 115 GHz. To satisfy the requirements for early scientific goals, the QTT will be equipped with ultra-wideband receivers and large field-of-view multi-beam receivers. A multi-function signal-processing system based on RFSoC and GPU processor chips will be developed. These will enable the QTT to operate in pulsar, spectral line, continuum and Very Long Baseline Interferometer (VLBI) observing modes. Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and radio frequency interference (RFI) control techniques are adopted throughout the system design. The QTT will form a world-class observational platform for the detection of low-frequency (nanoHertz) gravitational waves through pulsar timing array (PTA) techniques, pulsar surveys, the discovery of binary black-hole systems, and exploring dark matter and the origin of life in the universe. The QTT will also play an important role in improving the Chinese and international VLBI networks, allowing high-sensitivity and high-resolution observations of the nuclei of distant galaxies and gravitational lensing systems. Deep astrometric observations will also contribute to improving the accuracy of the celestial reference frame. Potentially, the QTT will be able to support future space activities such as planetary exploration in the solar system and to contribute to the search for extraterrestrial intelligence. | 9 |

We examine the clustering of quasars over a wide luminosity range, by utilizing 901 quasars at \overline{z}_phot∼ 3.8 with -24.73 < M<SUB>1450</SUB> < -22.23 photometrically selected from the Hyper Suprime-Cam Subaru Strategic Program (HSC-SSP) S16A Wide2 date release and 342 more luminous quasars at 3.4 < z<SUB>spec</SUB> < 4.6 with -28.0 < M<SUB>1450</SUB> < -23.95 from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey that fall in the HSC survey fields. We measure the bias factors of two quasar samples by evaluating the cross-correlation functions (CCFs) between the quasar samples and 25790 bright z ∼ 4 Lyman break galaxies in M<SUB>1450</SUB> < -21.25 photometrically selected from the HSC dataset. Over an angular scale of 10.0" to 1000.0", the bias factors are 5.93<SUP>+1.34</SUP><SUB>-1.43</SUB> and 2.73<SUP>+2.44</SUP><SUB>-2.55</SUB> for the low- and high-luminosity quasars, respectively, indicating no significant luminosity dependence of quasar clustering at z ∼ 4.

The small-scale dynamo (SSD) amplifies weak magnetic fields exponentially fast via kinetic motions. While there exist well-established theories for SSDs in incompressible flows, many astrophysical SSDs operate in supersonic turbulence. To understand the impact of compressibility on amplified magnetic fields, we perform an extensive set of visco-resistive SSD simulations, covering a wide range of sonic Mach number $\mathcal{M}$, hydrodynamic Reynolds number Re, and magnetic Prandtl number Pm. We develop robust methods for measuring kinetic and magnetic energy dissipation scales $\ell_\nu$ and $\ell_\eta$, as well as the scale at which magnetic fields are strongest $\ell_p$ during the kinematic phase of these simulations. We show that $\ell_\nu/\ell_\eta \sim$ Pm$^{1/2}$ is a universal feature in the kinematic phase of Pm $\geq 1$ SSDs, regardless of $\mathcal{M}$ or Re, and we confirm earlier predictions that SSDs operating in incompressible plasmas (either $\mathcal{M} \leq 1$ or Re $<$ Re$_{\rm crit} \approx 100$) concentrate magnetic energy at the smallest scales allowed by magnetic dissipation, $\ell_p \sim \ell_\eta$, and produce fields organised with field strength and field-line curvature inversely correlated. However, we show that these predictions fail for compressible SSDs ($\mathcal{M} > 1$ and Re $>$ Re$_{\rm crit}$), where shocks concentrate magnetic energy in large-scale, over-dense, coherent structures, with size $\ell_p \sim (\ell_{\rm turb} / \ell_{\rm shock})^{1/3} \ell_\eta \gg \ell_\eta$, where $\ell_{\rm shock} \sim \mathcal{M}^2 / [$Re $ (\mathcal{M} - 1)^2]$ is shock width, and $\ell_{\rm turb}$ is the turbulent outer scale; magnetic field-line curvature becomes almost independent of the field strength. We discuss the implications for galaxy mergers and for cosmic-ray transport models in the interstellar medium that are sensitive to field-line curvature statistics. | 9 |

We performed a study of high redshift (z > 2) quasars, looking for the main differences between Radio Loud Quasars (RLQ) and Radio Quiet Quasars (RQQ) in the X-ray band. Our sample of 472 RQQ and 81 RLQ was selected by cross-matching the SDSS DR7 quasars catalog with the Chandra Source Catalog. We computed the X-ray luminosity for the two samples and confirmed the X-ray luminosity excess of RLQ over RQQ. We fit the X-ray spectra assuming the absorbed power law model and obtained the photon index (Γ) values for all the sources in the sample. We excluded quasars with a low number of counts (<10) and large uncertainty on the best-fit photon index (Γ<SUB>err</SUB> > 1), and obtained the mean values of Γ<SUB>RLQ</SUB> = 1.70-<SUB>0.33</SUB><SUP>+0.36</SUP> and Γ<SUB>RQQ</SUB> = 2.19<SUB>-0.44</SUB><SUP>+0.46</SUP> for the RLQ and RQQ samples, respectively, showing that the RLQ have flatter (harder) X-ray spectra than RQQ. The Kuiper-two test confirms this result with the significant difference between the RLQ and RQQ photon index distributions (D<SUB>k</SUB> = 0.37 and P-value =10<SUP>-6</SUP>). We also evaluated the hardness ratio distributions and confirmed that the spectra of RLQ are flatter than the spectra of the RQQ. The RLQ's hard-to-soft ratio distribution is skewed towards the hard X-ray band, while the RQQ is towards the soft X-ray band. The hard-to-medium and medium-to-soft ratios show no difference. | 9 |

We report the identification of the possible optical counterparts of five out of seven ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) in the galaxy pair NGC 4490/4485. Using archival Hubble Space Telescope (HST) imaging data, we identified a single optical candidate for two ULXs (X-4 and X-7) and multiple optical candidates for the other three (X-2, X-3, and X-6) within ∼0.″2 error radius at the 90% confidence level. Of the two remaining ULXs, X-1 has no HST imaging data, and photometry could not be performed due to the position of X-5 in NGC 4490. Absolute magnitudes (M <SUB> V </SUB>) of the optical candidates lie between -5.7 and -3.8. Color-magnitude diagrams have been used to investigate the properties of the counterparts and their environments. The locations of the counterparts of X-2, X-4, and X-6 suggest possible association with a nearby group of stars, while the others have no association with a star cluster or group of stars. For comparison purposes, we analyzed three previously unused archival XMM-Newton observations. The long-term X-ray light curves of the sources (except transient X-7) show variability by a factor of three on a timescale of more than a decade. The use of a disk blackbody model for the mass of the compact objects indicates that these objects most likely have masses in the range 10-15 M <SUB>⊙</SUB>. | 9 |
