A few of the ideas, topics, and commonplaces that have been gaining steam on arXiv during the last few months (yes, I do a lot of filtering to keep away most of the genAI stuff; explainer).
1. 3I/ATLAS: Catching an interstellar object in the Solar System is still new enough that they become minor celebrities. This is only the third one.
Some recent articles:
- Near-Discovery SOAR Photometry of the Third Interstellar Object: 3I/ATLAS
- Search for Past Stellar Encounters and the Origin of 3I/ATLAS
- Onset of CN Emission in 3I/ATLAS: Evidence for Strong Carbon-Chain Depletion
- JWST detection of a carbon dioxide dominated gas coma surrounding interstellar object 3I/ATLAS
- Simultaneous visible spectrophotometry of interstellar object 3I/ATLAS with Seimei/TriCCS
2. Extensive air showers: Speaking of things sometimes coming from (very far) outside the Solar System...
Some recent articles:
- Machine learning reconstruction of cosmic ray parameters in EAS at HAWC
- Comparing Calculations of Seasonal Variations of Atmospheric Muons in Deep Underground Detectors
- Investigation of Electromagnetic and Muonic Air-Shower Components using IceTop Simulations
- From collider to cosmic rays: Pythia 8/Angantyr for air shower simulations in CORSIKA 8
- EPOS.LHC-R : a global approach to solve the muon puzzle
3. Secrecy rate: See this paper for a good definition (it's not open access, but Google Scholar leads to a a downloadable version).
