Gamma-ray burster distances from soft x-ray observations

, 1993
If soft x-ray spectra can be obtained for a small set of bursts, then the burster distances can be reliably measured by the variation of absorption from the intervening neutral gas.

Hunting the gamma-ray emission from Fast Radio Burst with Fermi-LAT [PDF]

, 2022
Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are one of the most exciting new mysteries of astrophysics. Their origin is still unknown, but recent observations seems to link them to Soft Gamma Repeaters and, in particular, to magnetar giant flares (MGFs).

Exceptional Elasto‐Dielectric Properties in a Highly Flexible Dielectric Elastomer Composite: The Key Roles of Parallel Elastic Nanofibers

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Soft dielectric elastomer composites often face a trade‐off between enhanced dielectric properties and mechanical compliance. Here, a parallel‐aligned polyurethane nanofiber network embedded in PDMS creates a flexible, durable composite with increased permittivity, low modulus, and fatigue stability after 100,000 cycles.

Multivariate time series classification of Fermi-detected gamma-ray transients using convolutional-recurrent neural networks

Machine Learning: Science and Technology
Fermi gamma-ray Space Telescope has detected a diverse range of gamma-ray transients since its launch in 2008. Over the years, Fermi has accumulated an extensive public archive of transient events.

3D‐Printed Actuator Powered by Liquid Crystal Elastomer Muscles at the Water–Air Interface

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Soft robots for unstructured environments require responsive, durable actuators. Liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs) provide large reversible deformations under thermal or optical stimuli. Direct ink writing enables fabrication of LCE actuators integrated with silicone, with mesogen chemistry and oligomers optimized for printable inks.

A Comprehensive Timing Analysis of Individual Pulses in X-Ray Bursts from SGR J0501+4516

The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series
The pulses in X-ray-burst (XRB) light curves from soft gamma-ray repeaters (SGRs) are generally thought to arise from magnetic crustal fractures or magnetic reconnection, reflecting the evolution of the energy release process in magnetars. In this study,

Pointlike Material Accumulation and Displacement in Azopolymer Thin Films Driven by Spatial Light Modulation

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
A maskless, SLM‐driven approach enables the deterministic inscription of arbitrary topographical features in azopolymer films by mapping complex vectorial light fields onto local viscoplastic stress. This platform allows for the rapid generation and dynamic erasure of high‐aspect‐ratio micro‐spikes, offering a versatile tool for reconfigurable flat ...

Universal Constants in Self-organized Criticality Systems

The Astrophysical Journal
The occurrence frequency distributions of fluxes ( F ) and fluences or energies ( E ) observed in the majority (in 18 out of 23 cases) of astrophysical phenomena are found to be consistent with the predictions of the fractal-diffusive self-organized ...

Dynamic Fluorescence Modulation via Light‐Driven Competitive Protonation

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
A two‐component molecular system demonstrates reversible, light‐driven fluorescence write–erase cycling and thermal imaging. Illumination of a merocyanine photoacid transfers a proton to a highly efficient fluorescent pyridinium dye, switching its emission color; thermal relaxation reverses the process in the dark.

Postburst nebular emission of soft gamma-ray repeaters

The Astrophysical Journal, 1994
The soft gamma ray repeater SGR 1806-20 has been shown to be unambiguously associated with the central region of the radio nebula G10.0-0.3. The nebula surrounding SGR 1806-20 is probably a supernova remnant and has a nonthermal radio spectrum typical of a 'plerion,' circumstellar gas energized by a relativistic particle outflow from a central source ...
