Galaxies and groups of galaxies exist in dark-matter haloes filled with diffuse gas. The diffuse gas represents up to 80% of the mass in baryonic matter within the haloes<SUP>1,2</SUP>, but is difficult to detect because of its low density (particle number densities of ≲10<SUP>−4</SUP> cm<SUP>−3</SUP>) and high temperature (mostly >10<SUP>6</SUP> K). Here we analyse the impact of diffuse gas associated with nearby galaxies using the dispersion measures (DMs) of extragalactic fast radio bursts (FRBs). FRB DMs provide direct measurements of the total ionized-gas contents along their sightlines. Out of a sample of 474 distant FRBs from the Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment (CHIME) FRB Catalog 1 (ref. <SUP>3</SUP>), we identify a subset of events that probably intersect the dark-matter haloes of galaxies in the local Universe (<40 Mpc). The mean DM of the galaxy-intersecting FRBs is larger than that of the non-intersecting FRBs with a probability >0.99 and the excess DM is >90 pc cm<SUP>−3</SUP> with >95% confidence. The excess is larger than expected for the diffuse gas surrounding isolated galaxies, but may be explained by additional contributions from gas surrounding galaxy groups, including from the Local Group. This result demonstrates the predicted ability of FRBs to be used as sensitive, model-independent measures of the diffuse gas contents of dark-matter haloes<SUP>4-7</SUP>. | 9 |
All four giant planets in the Solar system host systems of multiple moons, whereas the terrestrial planets only host up to two moons. The Earth can capture small asteroids as temporary satellites, which begs the question as to how many moons could stably orbit the Earth, or an Earth-mass exoplanet. We perform a series of N-body simulations of closely spaced equal-mass moons in nested orbits around an Earth-mass planet orbiting a Sun-like star. The innermost moon begins near the host planet's Roche radius, and the system is packed until the outermost moon begins near the stability limit for single moons. The initial spacing of the moons follows an iterative scheme commonly used for studies of compact planetary systems around single stars. For the three-moon system, we generate MEGNO maps to calculate periodic and chaotic regions and to identify the destabilizing mean motion resonances. Our calculations show that the maximum number of moons depends on the assumed masses of the satellites (Ceres-, Pluto-, and Luna-mass) that could maintain stable orbits in a tightly packed environment. Through our N-body simulations, we find stable configurations for up to 7 ± 1 Ceres-mass, 4 ± 1 Pluto-mass, and 3 ± 1 Luna-mass moons. However, outward tidal migration will likely play a substantial role in the number of moons on stable orbits over the 10 Gyr stellar lifetime of a Sun-like star. | 9 |
the invention ensures that a single and consistent reply is made to arp request in a system of connected ip networks . when an adapter becomes active , the owning host sends an arp advertisement into the network over the adapter . if the advertisement is also received at the sending host over a different adapter b , then the host knows that adapter b is on in the same physical network as adapter a and b can be designated as a backup adapter for a and a can be designated as backup adapter for b . if adapter a fails or becomes inactive , the host resets the backup adapter field for any adapter it owns for which a is marked as the backup adapter . if a backup adapter b has been designated for a , the host also sends an arp advertisement associating mac - b with ip - a . this allows network connections originally served via adapter a to continue non - disruptively over adapter b and it also provides access to the host for subsequent new connections . when adapter a becomes active again , the host sends a gratuitous arp advertisement that maps ip - a to mac - a . this allows adapter a to re - assume responsibility for responding to arp requests for ip - a . | 7 |

We examine galaxy star formation rates (SFRs), metallicities and gas contents predicted by the Mufasa cosmological hydrodynamic simulations, which employ meshless hydrodynamics and novel feedback prescriptions that yield a good match to observed galaxy stellar mass assembly. We combine 50, 25 and 12.5 h<SUP>-1</SUP> Mpc boxes with a quarter billion particles each to show that Mufasa broadly reproduces a wide range of relevant observations, including SFR and specific SFR functions, the mass-metallicity relation, H I and H<SUB>2</SUB> fractions, H I (21 cm) and CO luminosity functions, and cosmic gas density evolution. There are mild but significant discrepancies, such as perhaps too many high-SFR galaxies, overly metal-rich and H I-poor galaxies at M<SUB>*</SUB> ≳ 2 × 10<SUP>10</SUP> M<SUB>⊙</SUB>, and specific star formation rates that are too low at z ∼ 1-2. The H I mass function increases by ×2 out to z ∼ 1, then steepens to higher redshifts, while the CO luminosity function computed using the Narayanan et al. conversion factor shows a rapid increase of CO-bright galaxies out to z ∼ 2 in accord with data. Ω _{H I} and Ω<SUB>H2</SUB> both scale roughly as ∝(1 + z)<SUP>0.7</SUP> out to z ∼ 3, comparable to the rise in H I and H<SUB>2</SUB> fractions. Mufasa galaxies with high SFR at a given M<SUB>*</SUB> have lower metallicities and higher H I and H<SUB>2</SUB> fractions, following observed trends; we make quantitative predictions for how the fluctuations in the baryon cycle drive correlated scatter around galaxy scaling relations. Most of these trends are well converged with numerical resolution. These successes highlight Mufasa as a viable platform to study many facets of cosmological galaxy evolution. | 9 |
Dwarf spheroidal galaxies are regarded as the basic building blocks in the formation of larger galaxies and are the most dark matter dominated systems in the Universe, known so far. There are several models that attempt to explain their formation and evolution, but they have problems modelling the formation of isolated dwarf spheroidal galaxies. Here, we will explain a possible formation scenario in which star clusters form inside the dark matter halo of a dwarf spheroidal galaxy. These star clusters suffer from low star formation efficiency and dissolve while orbiting inside the dark matter halo. Thereby, they build the faint luminous components that we observe in dwarf spheroidal galaxies. In this paper, we study this model by adding different star formation histories to the simulations and compare the results with our previous work and observational data to show that we can explain the formation of dwarf spheroidal galaxies. | 9 |

Recently, FRB 190520B, which has the largest extragalactic dispersion measure (DM), was discovered by the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST). The DM excess over the intergalactic medium and Galactic contributions is estimated as ~900 pc cm<SUP>-3</SUP>, which is nearly ten times higher than that of other fast-radio-burst (FRB) host galaxies. The DM decreases with the rate ~0.1 pc cm<SUP>-3</SUP> per day. It is the second FRB associated with a compact persistent radio source (PRS). The rotation measure (RM) is found to be larger than 1.8 × 10<SUP>5</SUP>rad m<SUP>-2</SUP>. In this Letter, we argue that FRB 190520B is powered by a young magentar formed by core collapse of massive stars, embedded in a composite of a magnetar wind nebula (MWN) and supernova remnant (SNR). The energy injection of the magnetar drives the MWN and SN ejecta to evolve together and the PRS is generated by the synchrotron radiation of the MWN. The magnetar has an interior magnetic field B <SUB>int</SUB> ~ (2-4) × 10<SUP>16</SUP> G and an age t <SUB>age</SUB> ~ 14-22 yr. The dense SN ejecta and the shocked shell contribute a large fraction of the observed DM and RM. Our model can naturally and simultaneously explain the luminous PRS, decreasing DM, and extreme RM of FRB 190520B. | 9 |

Combining cosmological probes has consolidated the standard cosmological model with per cent precision, but some tensions have recently emerged when certain parameters are estimated from the local or primordial Universe. The origin of this behaviour is still under debate; however, it is crucial to study as many probes as possible to cross-check the results with independent methods and provide additional pieces of information to the cosmological puzzle. In this work, by combining several late-Universe probes (0 < z < 10), namely, Type Ia supernovae, baryon acoustic oscillations, cosmic chronometers, and gamma-ray bursts, we aim to derive cosmological constraints independently of local or early-Universe anchors. To test the standard cosmological model and its various extensions, considering an evolving dark energy equation of state and the curvature as a free parameter, we analyse each probe individually and all their possible permutations. Assuming a flat Lambda cold dark matter (ΛCDM) model, the full combination of probes provides $H_0=67.2^{+3.4}_{-3.2}$ km s<SUP>-1</SUP> Mpc<SUP>-1</SUP> and Ω<SUB>m</SUB> = 0.325 ± 0.015 [68 per cent confidence level (C.L.)]. Considering a flat wCDM model, we measure $w_0=-0.91^{+0.07}_{-0.08}$ (68 per cent C.L.), while by relaxing the flatness assumption (ΛCDM model, 95 per cent C.L.) we obtain $\Omega _k=0.125^{+0.167}_{-0.165}$. Finally, we analytically characterize the degeneracy directions and the relative orientation of the probes' contours. By calculating the figure-of-merit, we quantify the synergies among independent methods, estimate the constraining power of each probe, and identify which provides the best contribution to the inference process. Pending the new cosmological surveys, this study confirms the exigency for new emerging probes in the landscape of modern cosmology. | 9 |

Collisionless space plasma turbulence can generate reconnecting thin current sheets as suggested by recent results of numerical magnetohydrodynamic simulations. The Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission provides the first serious opportunity to verify whether small ion-electron-scale reconnection, generated by turbulence, resembles the reconnection events frequently observed in the magnetotail or at the magnetopause. Here we investigate field and particle observations obtained by the MMS fleet in the turbulent terrestrial magnetosheath behind quasi-parallel bow shock geometry. We observe multiple small-scale current sheets during the event and present a detailed look of one of the detected structures. The emergence of thin current sheets can lead to electron scale structures. Within these structures, we see signatures of ion demagnetization, electron jets, electron heating, and agyrotropy suggesting that MMS spacecraft observe reconnection at these scales. | 9 |
