In this paper, we make a detailed side-by-side comparison between Jordan and Einstein frames in the context of cosmic magnetogenesis. We have computed the evolution of the vector potential in each frame along with some observables such as the spectral index and the magnetic field amplitude. We found that contrary to the Einstein frame, the electric and magnetic energy densities in the Jordan Frame do not depend on any parameter associated with the scalar field. Furthermore, in the Einstein frame, and assuming scale invariance for the magnetic field, most of the total energy density contribution comes from the electric and magnetic densities. Finally, we show the ratio between magnetic field signals in both frames printed in the CMB.

Ground-based observations of Very High Energy (VHE) gamma rays from extreme astrophysical sources are significantly influenced by atmospheric conditions. This is due to the atmosphere being an integral part of the detector when utilizing Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes (IACTs). Clouds and dust particles diminish atmospheric transmission of Cherenkov light, thereby impacting the reconstruction of the air showers and consequently the reconstructed gamma-ray spectra. Precise measurements of atmospheric transmission above Cherenkov observatories play a pivotal role in the accuracy of the analysed data, among which the corrections of the reconstructed energies and fluxes of incoming gamma rays, and in establishing observation strategies for different types of gamma-ray emitting sources. The Major Atmospheric Gamma Imaging Cherenkov (MAGIC) telescopes and the Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory (CTAO), both located on the Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos (ORM), La Palma, Canary Islands, use different sets of auxiliary instruments for real-time characterisation of the atmosphere. In this paper, historical data taken by MAGIC LIDAR (LIght Detection And Ranging) and CTAO FRAM (F/Photometric Robotic Telescope) are presented. From the atmospheric aerosol transmission profiles measured by the MAGIC LIDAR and CTAO FRAM aerosol optical depth maps, we obtain the characterisation of the clouds above the ORM at La Palma needed for data correction and optimal observation scheduling.

We extend the Sim(2) invariant infrared regularization of Very Special Relativity models, that we have proposed recently, to include γ5 Dirac matrix. Then, we solve the Very Special Relativity Schwinger model, find the chiral anomaly, and clarify its meaning in the new context. In addition, we show that the triangle anomaly in four space-time dimensions agrees with the same object in standard quantum electrodynamics. Finally, we apply the infrared regularization to compute the large N limit of the Very Special Relativity Gross–Neveu model.

We report the identification of an extremely rare and peculiar set of irregular radio sources, termed “STROMERSs” (STRange and Odd Morphology Extragalactic Radio Sources).ingThe irregular radio sources with very anomalous morphologies that make them exceptionally different from all the known classes and subclasses of irregular radio sources are detected as STROMERSs. A thorough search for this class of sources from the Very Large Array (VLA) Faint Images of the Radio Sky at Twenty-Centimeters (FIRST) gave a total of nine such candidates. We checked the corresponding morphology of the identified sources in other frequency surveys. We found a detectable radio emission for all of the nine sources in the NRAO VLA Sky Survey (NVSS) at 1.4 GHz and in the TIFR GMRT Sky Survey (TGSS) at 150 MHz, while the same was found for only three sources in the Westerbork Northern Sky Survey (WENSS) at 625 MHz. However, the strange morphology was not found in all of those other survey images. We also characterized the sources with their corresponding physical parameters like optical counterpart, size, spectral index, and radio luminosity. ingThe estimated spectral values of the sources indicated that the STROMERSs were most likely radio galaxies. The presence of any nearby galaxy clusters for the STROMERSs was also checked.

The CREDO-Maze project is the concept for a network of stations recording local, extensive cosmic ray air showers. Each station consists of four small scintillation detectors and a control unit that monitors the cosmic ray flux 24 h a day and transmits the results to the central server. The modular design of each array allows the results to be used in educational classes on nuclear radiation, relativistic physics, and particle physics and as a teaching aid in regular school classrooms and more. As an example, we present here some preliminary results from the CREDO-Maze muon telescope missions to the Arctic and down into a deep salt mine, as well as the first shower-particle correlation measurements from a table-top experiment at Walailak University. These experiments show that the different geometric configurations of the CREDO-Maze detector set can be used for projects beyond the scope of the secondary school curriculum, and they can form the basis of student theses and dissertations at universities.

In the absence of a Grand Unified Theory framework, connecting the values of the mixing parameters in the quark-and-lepton sector is a difficult task, unless one introduces ad hoc relations among the matrices that diagonalize such different kinds of fermions. In this paper, we discuss in detail the possibility that the PMNS matrix is given by the product UPMNS=VCKM★T★, where T comes from the diagonalization of a see-saw like mass matrix that can be of a Bimaximal (BM), Tri-Bimaximal (TBM) and Golden Ratio (GR) form, and identify the leading corrections to such patterns that allow for a good fit to the leptonic mixing matrix as well as to the CP phase. We also show that the modified versions of BM, TBM and GR can easily accommodate the solar and atmospheric mass differences.
在缺乏大统一理论框架的情况下，连接夸克和轻子部门的混合参数值是一项艰巨的任务，除非我们在对角化这些不同种类费米子的矩阵之间引入特别关系。在本文中，我们详细讨论了 PMNS 矩阵由乘积 UPMNS=VCKM★T★ 给出的可能性，其中 T 来自于对类似跷跷板的质量矩阵的对角化，该矩阵可以是双最大（BM）、三最大（TBM）和黄金比（GR）形式，并确定了对这种模式的前导修正，从而可以很好地拟合轻子混合矩阵以及 CP 相。我们还表明，BM、TBM 和 GR 的修正版本可以很容易地适应太阳和大气的质量差异。

X-ray flare (XRF) is a common phenomenon in the X-ray afterglow of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). Although it is commonly believed that XRFs may share a common origin with prompt emission, i.e., the “internal” origin, the origin of XRFs is still unknown. In this work, we compile a GRB sample containing 31 GRBs with a single XRF, a well-measured spectrum, and a redshift, and investigate the intrinsic properties and correlations between prompt emission and the XRFs of these events. We find that the distributions of main physical parameters of prompt emission and XRFs are basically log-normal. The median value of the rise time is shorter than the decay time for all flares, with a ratio of about 1:2, which is similar to the fast rise and exponential decay structure of prompt emission pulses. We also find that the prompt emission energy (Eiso) and peak luminosity (Liso) have tight correlations with XRF energy (EX,iso) and peak luminosity (LX,p), Eiso∝EX,iso0.74 (LX,p0.62) and Liso∝EX,iso0.85 (LX,p0.68). However, the durations of prompt emissions are independent of the temporal properties of XRFs. Furthermore, we also analyze the three-parameter correlations between prompt emissions and XRFs, and find that there are tight correlations among the XRF peak time (Tp,z), LX,p, and Eiso/Liso, LX,p∝Tp,z−1.08Eiso0.84 and LX,p∝Tp,z−1.09Liso0.71. Interestingly, these results are very similar to the properties of an X-ray plateau in GRBs, which indicates that X-ray flares and plateaus may have the same physical origin, and strongly supports that the two emission components originate from the late-time activity of the central engine.

We model compact objects of known stellar mass and radius made of isotropic matter within Einstein’s gravity. The interior solution describing hydrostatic equilibrium we are using throughout the manuscript corresponds to the Tolman IV exact analytic solution obtained a long time ago. The three free parameters of the solutions are determined by imposing the matching conditions for objects of known stellar mass and radius. Finally, using well established criteria, it is shown that, contrary to the Kohler Chao solution, the Tolman IV solution is compatible with all requirements for well-behaved and realistic solutions, except for the relativistic adiabatic index that diverges at the surface of stars. The divergence of the index Γ may be resolved, including a thin crust assuming a polytropic equation of state, which is precisely the case seen in studies of neutron stars. To the best of our knowledge, we model here for the first time the recently discovered massive pulsar PSR J0740+6620 and the strangely light HESS compact object via the Tolman IV solution. The present work may be of interest to model builders as well as a useful reference for future research.
我们模拟了在爱因斯坦引力下由各向同性物质构成的已知恒星质量和半径的紧凑天体。我们在整个手稿中使用的描述流体静力学平衡的内部解对应于很久以前获得的托尔曼 IV 精确解析解。解的三个自由参数是通过对已知恒星质量和半径的天体施加匹配条件来确定的。最后，利用已确立的标准证明，与 Kohler Chao 解法相反，Tolman IV 解法符合所有关于良好和现实解法的要求，除了在恒星表面发散的相对论绝热指数。指数Γ的发散是可以解决的，包括假设一个多热状态方程的薄壳，这正是中子星研究中出现的情况。据我们所知，我们在这里首次通过托尔曼IV解为最近发现的大质量脉冲星PSR J0740+6620和奇轻的HESS紧凑天体建立了模型。这项工作可能会引起模型建立者的兴趣，并为今后的研究提供有益的参考。

A comparison of three types of ionosonde data from Europe during an interplanetary coronal mass ejection (ICME)- and a corotating interaction region (CIR)-driven geomagnetic storm event is detailed in this study. The selected events are 16–20 March 2015 for the ICME-driven storm and 30 May to 4 June 2013 for the CIR-driven one. Ionospheric data from three European ionosonde stations, namely Pruhonice (PQ), Sopron (SO) and Rome (RO), are investigated. The ionospheric F2-layer responses to these geomagnetic events are analyzed with the ionospheric foF2 and h’F2 parameters, the calculated deltafoF2 and deltahF2 values, the ratio of total electron content (rTEC) and Thermosphere, Ionosphere, Mesosphere, Energetics and Dynamics (TIMED) satellite Global Ultraviolet Imager (GUVI) thermospheric [O]/[N2] measurement data. The storm-time and the quiet-day mean values are also compared, and it can be concluded that the quiet-day curves are similar at all the stations while the storm-time ones show the latitudinal dependence during the development of the storm. As a result of the electron density comparison, during the two events, it can be concluded that the sudden storm commencement (SSC) that characterized the ICME induced a traveling atmospheric disturbance (TAD) seen in the European stations in the main phase, while this is not seen in the CIR-driven ionospheric storm, which shows a stronger and more prolonged negative effect in all the stations, probably due to the season and the depleted O/N2 ratio.

The TESS light curve of the silicon Ap star MX TrA was modeled using the observational surface distribution of silicon, iron, helium, and chromium obtained previously with the Doppler Imaging technique. The theoretical light curve was calculated using a grid of synthetic fluxes from line-by-line stellar atmosphere models with individual chemical abundances. The observational TESS light curve was fitted by a synthetic one with an accuracy better than 0.001 mag. The influence of Si and Fe abundance stratification on the amplitude of variability was estimated. Also, the wavelength dependence of the photometric amplitude and phase of the maximum light was modeled showing the typical Ap Si star behavior with increased amplitude and anti-phase variability in far ultraviolet caused by the flux redistribution.
硅Ap星MX TrA的TESS光曲线是利用之前通过多普勒成像技术获得的硅、铁、氦和铬的观测表面分布建立模型的。理论光变曲线是利用具有单个化学丰度的逐行恒星大气模型的合成通量网格计算出来的。TESS 的观测光曲线是用合成光曲线拟合的，精度优于 0.001 马格。估计了硅和铁丰度分层对变率振幅的影响。此外，还对最大光的光度振幅和相位的波长依赖性进行了建模，结果表明，由于光通量的重新分配，Ap Si 星在远紫外的振幅和反相变率都会增加。
