Studying bioluminescence flashes with the ANTARES deep‐sea neutrino telescope
Abstract We develop a novel technique to exploit the extensive data sets provided by underwater neutrino telescopes to gain information on bioluminescence in the deep sea. The passive nature of the telescopes gives us the unique opportunity to infer information on bioluminescent organisms without actively interfering with them. We propose a statistical

An Immobilised Silicon‐Carbon Bond‐Forming Enzyme for Anaerobic Flow Biocatalysis
Anaerobic flow biocatalysis: An engineered cytochrome c enzyme, capable of carbon‐silicon bond formation, was immobilised for the first time using the SpyTag/SpyCatcher bioconjugation system. When used in a continuous flow reactor, the immobilised enzyme was able to produce organosilicons with up to 6‐fold increased turnover numbers compared to the ...

Neutrons in simulations of extensive air showers [PDF]
We study neutrons produced in simulations of extensive air showers. By using the Monte Carlo simulation package Fluka, our examination is able to extend from the highest energy neutrons, produced in hadronic interactions, all the way down to thermal ...

Multi‐zone fusion crust formation and classification of the 2004 Auckland meteorite (L6, S5, and W0)
Abstract On June 12, 2004, a meteorite passed through Earth's atmosphere and landed under the television in the living room of a house in Auckland, New Zealand. Textural characteristics, the chemistry of olivine (Fa23–24) and orthopyroxene (Fs20.7), and the bulk rock triple oxygen isotopes (δ17O + 3.1; δ18O + 4.2‰) from the interior of the completely ...

Stellar mergers are common [PDF]
The observed Galactic rate of stellar mergers or the initiation of common envelope phases brighter than M_V=-3 (M_I=-4) is of order 0.5 (0.3)/year with 90% confidence statistical uncertainties of 0.24-1.1 (0.14-0.65) and factor of 2 systematic ...

Deducing the EOS of dense neutron star matter with machine learning
Abstract The interior of a neutron star is a unique astrophysical laboratory for studying matter at extreme densities and pressures beyond what is replicable in terrestrial experiments. While there is no direct way to simulate the interior of these stars, one promising avenue to learning more about the equation of state (EOS) of such matter is through ...

CORSIKA 8 – Towards a modern framework for the simulation of extensive air showers [PDF]
Current and future challenges in astroparticle physics require novel simulation tools to achieve higher precision and more flexibility. For three decades the FORTRAN version of CORSIKA served the community in an excellent way.

The hMSSM with a light gaugino/higgsino sector: implications for collider and astroparticle physics [PDF]
The hMSSM is a special parameterization of the minimal supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model (MSSM) in which the mass of the lightest Higgs boson is automatically set to the LHC measured value, M _ h =125 GeV, by adjusting the supersymmetric ...

The road toward imaging a black hole: A personal perspective
The article describes the authors personal journey towards developig the Event Horizon Telescope and the first image of a black hole. Left: predcition made by the author and collaborators proposing the black hole imaging in 2000. Right: the two images observed and published by the Event Horizon Telescope in 2019 and 2022.
