In this paper, we review some highlights from the String theory, the black hole physics and the doubly special relativity and some thought experiments which were suggested to probe the shortest distances and/or maximum momentum at the Planck scale. Furthermore, all models developed in order to implement the minimal length scale and/or the maximum momentum in different physical systems are analyzed and compared. They entered the literature as the generalized uncertainty principle (GUP) assuming modified dispersion relation, and therefore are allowed for a wide range of applications in estimating, for example, the inflationary parameters, Lorentz invariance violation, black hole thermodynamics, Saleker-Wigner inequalities, entropic nature of gravitational laws, Friedmann equations, minimal time measurement and thermodynamics of the high-energy collisions. One of the higher-order GUP approaches gives predictions for the minimal length uncertainty. A second one predicts a maximum momentum and a minimal length uncertainty, simultaneously. An extensive comparison between the different GUP approaches is summarized. We also discuss the GUP impacts on the equivalence principles including the universality of the gravitational redshift and the free fall and law of reciprocal action and on the kinetic energy of composite system. The existence of a minimal length and a maximum momentum accuracy is preferred by various physical observations. The concern about the compatibility with the equivalence principles, the universality of gravitational redshift and the free fall and law of reciprocal action should be addressed. We conclude that the value of the GUP parameters remain a puzzle to be verified. | 9 |

Context. Dynamical friction can be used to distinguish Newtonian gravity and modified Newtonian dynamics (MOND) because it works differently in these frameworks. This concept, however, has yet to be explored very much with MOND. Previous simulations showed weaker dynamical friction during major mergers for MOND than for Newtonian gravity with dark matter. Analytic arguments suggest the opposite for minor mergers. In this work, we verify the analytic predictions for MOND by high-resolution N-body simulations of globular clusters (GCs) moving in isolated ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs). <BR /> Aims: We test the MOND analog of the Chandrasekhar formula for the dynamical friction proposed by Sánchez-Salcedo on a single GC. We also explore whether MOND allows GC systems of isolated UDGs to survive without sinking into nuclear star clusters. <BR /> Methods: The simulations are run using the adaptive-mesh-refinement code Phantom of Ramses. The mass resolution is 20 M<SUB>⊙</SUB> and the spatial resolution 50 pc. The GCs are modeled as point masses. <BR /> Results: Simulations including a single GC reveal that, as long as the apocenter of the GC is over about 0.5 effective radii, the Sánchez-Salcedo formula works excellently, with an effective Coulomb logarithm increasing with orbital circularity. Once the GC reaches the central kiloparsec, its sinking virtually stops, likely because of the core stalling mechanism. In simulations with multiple GCs, many of them sink toward the center, but the core stalling effect seems to prevent them from forming a nuclear star cluster. The GC system ends up with a lower velocity dispersion than the stars of the galaxy. By scaling the simulations, we extend these results to most UDG parameters, as long as these UDGs are not external-field dominated. We verify analytically that approximating the GCs by point masses has little effect if the GCs have the usual properties, but for massive GCs such as those observed in the NGC 1052-DF2 galaxy, further simulations with resolved GCs are desirable. | 9 |
an error correction code for encoding the presence of a special uncorrectable error as well as its type . in the encoder , modification logic modifies the regular data symbols to indicate the type of special uncorrectable error . the encoder appends to the regular data symbols a special uncorrectable error symbol indicating the presence of a special uncorrectable error to form an extended data word , which is encoded to generate a code word . in the decoder , a syndrome generator generates a syndrome vector using an assumed value for the special uncorrectable error symbol indicating the absence of a special uncorrectable error , while a syndrome decoder determines the presence of the special uncorrectable error by determining the presence of an error in the assumed value of the special uncorrectable error symbol . by so using its error detection logic , the decoder makes it unnecessary to actually store or transmit the special uncorrectable error symbol . | 7 |

We discuss the mechanism of cluster formation in a numerical simulation of a molecular cloud (MC) undergoing global hierarchical collapse, focusing on how the gas motions in the parent cloud control the assembly of the cluster. The global collapse implies that the star formation rate (SFR) increases over time. The collapse is hierarchical because it consists of small-scale collapses within larger scale ones. The latter culminate a few Myr later than the first small-scale ones and consist of filamentary flows that accrete on to massive central clumps. The small-scale collapses consist of clumps that are embedded in the filaments and falling on to the large-scale collapse centres. The stars formed in the early, small-scale collapses share the infall motion of their parent clumps, so that the filaments feed both gas and stars to the massive central clump. This process leads to the presence of a few older stars in a region where new protostars are forming, and also to a self-similar structure, in which each unit is composed of smaller scale subunits that approach each other and may merge. Because the older stars formed in the filaments share the infall motion of the gas on to the central clump, they tend to have larger velocities and to be distributed over larger areas than the younger stars formed in the central clump. Finally, interpreting the initial mass function (IMF) simply as a probability distribution implies that massive stars only form once the local SFR is large enough to sample the IMF up to high masses. In combination with the increase of the SFR, this implies that massive stars tend to appear late in the evolution of the MC, and only in the central massive clumps. We discuss the correspondence of these features with observed properties of young stellar clusters, finding very good qualitative agreement. | 9 |

We present cosmological constraints from a cosmic shear analysis of the fourth data release of the Kilo-Degree Survey (KiDS-1000), which doubles the survey area with nine-band optical and near-infrared photometry with respect to previous KiDS analyses. Adopting a spatially flat standard cosmological model, we find S<SUB>8</SUB> = σ<SUB>8</SUB>(Ω<SUB>m</SUB>/0.3)<SUP>0.5</SUP> = 0.759<SUB>-0.021</SUB><SUP>+0.024</SUP> for our fiducial analysis, which is in 3σ tension with the prediction of the Planck Legacy analysis of the cosmic microwave background. We compare our fiducial COSEBIs (Complete Orthogonal Sets of E/B-Integrals) analysis with complementary analyses of the two-point shear correlation function and band power spectra, finding the results to be in excellent agreement. We investigate the sensitivity of all three statistics to a number of measurement, astrophysical, and modelling systematics, finding our S<SUB>8</SUB> constraints to be robust and dominated by statistical errors. Our cosmological analysis of different divisions of the data passes the Bayesian internal consistency tests, with the exception of the second tomographic bin. As this bin encompasses low-redshift galaxies, carrying insignificant levels of cosmological information, we find that our results are unchanged by the inclusion or exclusion of this sample. | 9 |

Using the linear polarimetric observations, we present a method to derive the membership probability of stars in cluster NGC 2345. The polarimetric observations of cluster NGC 2345 are performed using the instrument ARIES IMaging POLarimeter (AIMPOL) mounted as a backend of the 104-cm telescope of ARIES. Members of the cluster should exhibit comparable polarization since they are located nearly at the same distance. This concept is used to extract the membership probability of known member stars of cluster NGC 2345. The membership probability estimated using the polarimetric data for cluster NGC 2345 agrees with the membership probability derived from the proper motion method in the previous studies. | 9 |

Context. Multidimensional solar flare simulations have not yet included a detailed analysis of the lower atmospheric responses, such as downflowing chromospheric compressions and chromospheric evaporation processes. <BR> Aims: We present an analysis of multidimensional flare simulations, including an analysis of chromospheric upflows and downflows that provides important groundwork for comparing 1D and multidimensional models. <BR> Methods: We followed the evolution of a magnetohydrodynamic standard solar flare model that includes electron beams and in which localized anomalous resistivity initiates magnetic reconnection. We varied the background magnetic field strength to produce simulations that cover a large span of observationally reported solar flare strengths. Chromospheric energy fluxes and energy density maps were used to analyze the transport of energy from the corona to the lower atmosphere, and the resultant evolution of the flare. Quantities traced along 1D field lines allowed for detailed comparisons with 1D evaporation models. <BR> Results: The flares produced by varying the background coronal field strength between 20 G and 65 G have GOES classifications between B1.5 and M2.3. All produce a lobster claw reconnection outflow and a fast shock in the tail of this flow with a similar maximum Alfvén Mach number of ∼10. The impact of the reconnection outflow on the lower atmosphere and the heat conduction are the key agents driving the chromospheric evaporation and "downflowing chromospheric compressions". The peak electron beam heating flux in the lower atmospheres varies between 1.4 × 10<SUP>9</SUP> and 4.7 × 10<SUP>10</SUP> erg cm<SUP>−2</SUP> s<SUP>−1</SUP> across the simulations. The downflowing chromospheric compressions have kinetic energy signatures that reach the photosphere, but at subsonic speeds they would not generate sunquakes. The weakest flare generates a relatively dense flare loop system, despite having a negative net mass flux, through the top of the chromosphere, that is to say, more mass is supplied downward than is evaporated upward. The stronger flares all produce positive mass fluxes. Plasmoids form in the current sheets of the stronger flares due to tearing, and in all experiments the loop tops contain turbulent eddies that ring via a magnetic tuning fork process. <BR> Conclusions: The presented flares have chromospheric evaporation driven by thermal conduction and the impact and rebound of the reconnection outflow, in contrast to most 1D models where this process is driven by the beam electrons. Several multidimensional phenomena are critical in determining plasma behavior but are not generally considered in 1D flare simulations. They include loop-top turbulence, reconnection outflow jets, heat diffusion, compressive heating from the multidimensional expansion of the flux tubes due to changing pressures, and the interactions of upward and downward flows from the evaporation meeting the material squeezed downward from the loop tops. <P />Movies are available at <A HREF="https://www.aanda.org/10.1051/0004-6361/202347600/olm">https://www.aanda.org</A>. | 9 |
