The new architecture design of the Science Alert Generation pipeline of the Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory [PDF]
The Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory (CTAO) represents the next-generation gamma-ray observatory and will operate for several decades. It will be particularly suited to analyse transients and variable phenomena, which will trigger real-time ...

FELS – Forschend-Entdeckendes Lernen mit dem Smartphone
Obwohl die Schulleistungen der Schülerinnen und Schüler in Physik seit dem Pisa-Schock zunahmen, gehört Physik nach wie vor zu den unbeliebtesten Fächern im Schulkanon.

Timing and spectral analysis of 2S 1417−624 during its 2018 outburst [PDF]
We investigate timing and spectral characteristics of the transient X-ray pulsar 2S 1417−624 during its 2018 outburst with NICER follow up observations.

The early B-type star Rho Oph A is an X-ray lighthouse [PDF]
We present the results of a 140 ks XMM-Newton observation of the B2 star $\rho$ Ophiuchi A. The star has exhibited strong X-ray variability: a cusp-shaped increase of rate, similar to that which we partially observed in 2013, and a bright flare.

Following excited-state chemical shifts in molecular ultrafast x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy
Imaging the charge flow in photoexcited molecules would provide key information on photophysical and photochemical processes. Here the authors demonstrate tracking in real time after photoexcitation the change in charge density at a specific site of 2 ...

Quantified H i morphology – III. Merger visibility times from H i in galaxy simulations [PDF]
Major mergers of disk galaxies are thought to be a substantial driver in galaxy evolution. To trace the fraction and the rate galaxies are in mergers over cosmic times, several observational techniques, including morphological selection criteria, have ...

Nucleon quasi-parton distributions in the large Nc limit
In this letter, we investigate the nucleon quasi-parton distribution functions in the chiral quark soliton model. We derive a set of sum-rules depending on the velocity of the nucleon and on the Dirac matrix defining the distribution functions.

The heart of NGC 5253 as seen with MUSE-NFM: nitrogen enrichment through stellar chemical feedback at parsec scales [PDF]
NGC 5253 is a nearby (D=3.6 Mpc) Blue Compact Dwarf galaxy, notable for its three massive young super star clusters (SSCs) and nitrogen enrichment.

Fundamental constants and high resolution spectroscopy [PDF]
Absorption-line systems detected in high resolution quasar spectra can be used to compare the value of dimensionless fundamental constants such as the fine-structure constant, α, and the proton-to-electron mass ratio, μ = mp/me, as measured in remote ...

Weak magnetic fields in central stars of planetary nebulae [PDF]
It is not yet clear whether magnetic fields play an essential role in shaping planetary nebulae (PNe), or whether stellar rotation alone and/or a close binary companion can account for the variety of the observed nebular morphologies.
