In the standard picture of Galactic cosmic rays, a diffuse flux of high-energy gamma rays and neutrinos is produced from inelastic collisions of cosmic-ray nuclei with the interstellar gas. The neutrino flux is a guaranteed signal for high-energy neutrino observatories such as IceCube but has not been found yet. Experimental searches for this flux constitute an important test of the standard picture of Galactic cosmic rays. Both observation and nonobservation would allow important implications for the physics of cosmic-ray acceleration and transport. We present CRINGE, a new model of Galactic diffuse high-energy gamma rays and neutrinos, fitted to recent cosmic-ray data from AMS-02, DAMPE, IceTop, as well as KASCADE. We quantify the uncertainties for the predicted emission from the cosmic-ray model but also from the choice of source distribution, gas maps, and cross sections. We consider the possibility of a contribution from unresolved sources. Our model predictions exhibit significant deviations from older models. Our fiducial model is available at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7859442 . | 9 |

We present limits on the 21 cm power spectrum from the Epoch of Reionization using data from the 64 antenna configuration of the Donald C. Backer Precision Array for Probing the Epoch of Reionization (PAPER) analyzed through a power spectrum pipeline independent from previous PAPER analyses. Previously reported results from PAPER have been found to contain significant signal loss. Several lossy steps from previous PAPER pipelines have not been included in this analysis, namely delay-based foreground filtering, optimal fringe-rate filtering, and empirical covariance-based estimators. Steps that remain in common with previous analyses include redundant calibration and local sidereal time (LST) binning. The power spectra reported here are effectively the result of applying a linear Fourier transform analysis to the calibrated, LST-binned data. This analysis also uses more data than previous publications, including the complete available redshift range of z ∼ 7.5 to 11. In previous PAPER analyses, many power spectrum measurements were found to be detections of noncosmological power at levels of significance ranging from two to hundreds of times the theoretical noise. Here, excess power is examined using redundancy between baselines and power spectrum jackknives. The upper limits we find on the 21 cm power spectrum from reionization are {(1500{mK})}<SUP>2</SUP>, {(1900{mK})}<SUP>2</SUP>, {(280{mK})}<SUP>2</SUP>, {(200{mK})}<SUP>2</SUP>, {(380{mK})}<SUP>2</SUP>, and {(300{mK})}<SUP>2</SUP> at redshifts z = 10.87, 9.93, 8.68, 8.37, 8.13, and 7.48, respectively. For reasons described in Cheng et al., these limits supersede all previous PAPER results. | 9 |

Context. Analysis of the Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment project (APOGEE) data suggests the existence of a clear distinction between two sequences of disc stars in the [α/Fe] versus [Fe/H] abundance ratio space, known as the high- and low-α sequence, respectively. This dichotomy also emerges from an analysis of the vertical distribution of the [α/Fe] abundance ratio. <BR /> Aims: We aim to test whether the revised two-infall chemical evolution models designed to reproduce the low- and high-α sequences in the [α/Fe] versus [Fe/H] ratios in the solar neighbourhood are also capable of predicting the disc bimodality observed in the vertical distribution of [Mg/Fe] in APOGEE DR16 data. <BR /> Methods: Along with the chemical composition of the simple stellar populations born at different Galactic times predicted by our reference chemical evolution models in the solar vicinity, we provide their maximum vertical height above the Galactic plane |z<SUB>max</SUB>| computed assuming the relation between the vertical action and stellar age in APOGEE thin-disc stars. Result. The vertical distribution of the [Mg/Fe] abundance ratio predicted by the reference chemical evolution models is in agreement with that observed when combining the APOGEE DR16 data (chemical abundances) with the astroNN catalogue (stellar ages, orbital parameters) for stars younger than 8 Gyr (only low-α sequence stars). Including the high-α disc component, the dichotomy in the vertical [Mg/Fe] abundance distribution is reproduced considering the observational cut in the Galactic height of |z|< 2 kpc. However, our model predicts an overly flat (almost constant) growth of the maximum vertical height |z<SUB>max</SUB>| quantity as a function of [Mg/Fe] for high-α objects in contrast with the median values from APOGEE data. Possible explanations for such a tension are that: (i) the APOGEE sample with |z|< 2 kpc is more likely than ours to be contaminated by halo stars, causing the median values to be kinematically hotter, and (ii) external perturbations - such as minor mergers - that the Milky Way experienced in the past could have heated up the disc, and the heating of the orbits cannot be modeled by only scattering processes. Assuming a disc dissection based on chemistry for APOGEE-DR16 stars (|z|< 2 kpc), the observed |z<SUB>max</SUB>| distributions for high-α and low-α sequences are in good agreement with our model predictions if we consider the errors in the vertical action estimates in the calculation. Moreover, a better agreement between predicted and observed stellar distributions at different Galactic vertical heights is achieved if asteroseismic ages are included as a constraint in the best-fit model calculations. <BR /> Conclusions: The signature of a delayed gas infall episode, which gives rise to a hiatus in the star formation history of the Galaxy, are imprinted both in the [Mg/Fe] versus [Fe/H] relation and in vertical distribution of [Mg/Fe] abundances in the solar vicinity. | 9 |

We have conducted a search for open clusters in the vicinity of classical Galactic Cepheids based on high-quality astrometry from the third data release (DR3) of the ESA mission Gaia to improve the calibration of the Leavitt law (LL). Our approach requires no prior knowledge of existing clusters, allowing us to both detect new host clusters and cross-check previously reported associations. Our Gold sample consists of 34 Cepheids residing in 28 open clusters, including 27 fundamental mode and seven overtone Cepheids. Three new bona fide cluster Cepheids are reported (V0378 Cen, ST Tau, and GH Lup) and the host cluster identifications for three others (VW Cru, IQ Nor, and SX Vel) are corrected. The fraction of Cepheids occurring in open clusters within 2 kpc of the Sun is f<SUB>CC,2 kpc</SUB> = 0.088<SUB>−0.019</SUB><SUP>+0.029</SUP>. Nonvariable cluster members allow us to determine cluster parallaxes to ∼7 μas in the range 12.5 < G < 17 mag, where recent studies found that parallax corrections by Lindegren et al. (2021, A&A, 649, A4, L21) are accurate and require no further offset corrections. By comparing Cepheids in MW clusters to Cepheids in the LMC, we confirm these independent results and the adequacy of the L21 corrections for the cluster members in this range. By combining cluster and field Cepheids, we calibrate the LL for several individual photometric passbands, together with reddening-free Wesenheit magnitudes based on Gaia and HST photometry, while solving for the residual offset applicable to Cepheid parallaxes, Δϖ<SUB>Cep</SUB>. The most direct comparison of our results with the SH0ES distance ladder yields excellent (0.3σ) agreement for both the absolute magnitude of a 10 d solar metallicity Cepheid in the near-IR HST Wesenheit magnitudes, M<SUB>H,1</SUB><SUP>W</SUP> = −5.914 ± 0.017 mag, and the residual parallax offset, Δϖ<SUB>Cep</SUB> = −13 ± 5 μas. Despite the use of a common set of photometry, this is an important cross-check of the recent Hubble constant measurement by Riess et al. (2022a, ApJ, 938, 36) based on independently determined cluster membership and average parallaxes. Using the larger sample of 26 Gold cluster Cepheids and 225 MW Cepheids with recent Gaia DR3 astrometry and photometry, we determine M<SUB>G,1</SUB><SUP>W</SUP> = −6.051 ± 0.020 mag in the optical Gaia Wesenheit magnitude at the sample average iron abundance of (⟨[Fe/H]⟩ = 0.069) and Δϖ<SUB>Cep</SUB> = −22 ± 3 μas. Correcting to solar metallicity yields M<SUB>G,1</SUB><SUP>W</SUP> = −6.004 ± 0.019 mag and Δϖ<SUB>Cep</SUB> = −19 ± 3 μas. These results mark the currently most accurate absolute calibrations of the Cepheid luminosity scale based purely on observations of Milky Way Cepheids, and it is also the most precise determination of the residual Cepheid parallax offset at a significance of 6 − 7σ. <P />Tables 1-4, 7, 10 and A.1 are available at the CDS via anonymous ftp to <A href="http://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/">cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr</A> (ftp://130.79.128.5) or via <A href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/A+A/672/A85">https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/A+A/672/A85</A> | 9 |

Massive binaries are vital sources of various transient processes, including gravitational-wave mergers. However, large uncertainties in the evolution of massive stars, both physical and numerical, present a major challenge to the understanding of their binary evolution. In this paper, we upgrade our interpolation-based stellar evolution code METISSE to include the effects of mass changes, such as binary mass transfer or wind-driven mass loss, not already included within the input stellar tracks. METISSE's implementation of mass loss (applied to tracks without mass loss) shows excellent agreement with the SSE fitting formulae and with detailed MESA tracks, except in cases where the mass transfer is too rapid for the star to maintain equilibrium. We use this updated version of METISSE within the binary population synthesis code BSE to demonstrate the impact of varying stellar evolution parameters, particularly core overshooting, on the evolution of a massive (25 and 15 M<SUB>⊙</SUB>) binary system with an orbital period of 1800 d. Depending on the input tracks, we find that the binary system can form a binary black hole or a black hole-neutron star system, with primary (secondary) remnant masses ranging between 4.47 (1.36) and 12.30 (10.89) M<SUB>⊙</SUB>, and orbital periods ranging from 6 d to the binary becoming unbound. Extending this analysis to a population of isolated binaries uniformly distributed in mass and orbital period, we show that the input stellar models play an important role in determining which regions of the binary parameter space can produce compact binary mergers, paving the way for predictions for current and future gravitational-wave observatories. | 9 |

We present the first asteroseismological study for 42 massive ZZ Ceti stars based on a large set of fully evolutionary carbon-oxygen core DA white dwarf models characterized by a detailed and consistent chemical inner profile for the core and the envelope. Our sample comprises all of the ZZ Ceti stars with spectroscopic stellar masses between 0.72 and 1.05 M <SUB>⊙</SUB> known to date. The asteroseismological analysis of a set of 42 stars enables study of the ensemble properties of the massive, pulsating white dwarf stars with carbon-oxygen cores, in particular the thickness of the hydrogen envelope and the stellar mass. A significant fraction of stars in our sample have stellar mass that is high enough to crystallize at the effective temperatures of the ZZ Ceti instability strip, which enables us to study the effects of crystallization on the pulsation properties of these stars. Our results show that the phase diagram presented in Horowitz et al. seems to be a good representation of the crystallization process inside white dwarf stars, in agreement with the results from white dwarf luminosity function in globular clusters. | 9 |

Observationally, there is a small fraction of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) with prompt emission observed by Fermi/GBM that are composed of two pulses. Occasionally, the distance to a GRB may be lensed when a high mass astrophysical object resides in the path between the GRB source and observer. In this paper, we describe GRB 200716C, which has a two-pulse emission and duration of a few seconds. We present a Bayesian analysis identifying gravitational lensing in both temporal and spectral properties, and calculate the time delay (Δt ~ 1.92 s) and magnification (γ ~ 1.5) between those two pulses based on the temporal fits. One can roughly estimate the lens mass to be about 2.4 × 10<SUP>5</SUP>M<SUB>⊙</SUB> in the rest frame. We also calculate the false alarm probability for this detection to be about 0.07% with trial factors, and a present-day number density of about 808Mpc<SUP>-3</SUP> with an energy density Ω ~ 1.4 × 10<SUP>-3</SUP>. If the first pulse of this GRB near the trigger time is indeed gravitationally echoed by a second pulse, GRB 200716C may be a short GRB candidate with extended emission. | 9 |
