Objectives: We captured a fine-grained dataset of organic socializing with socially meaningful group labels to fill a gap in the study of face-to-face interaction. Prior interaction data from conferences, classrooms, hospitals, and…
We analyze the effect of microscopic heterogeneity on the Lorenz curve of macroscopic observables. Lorenz curve of a response function being a cumulative and bounded quantity, is often a more stable function than the corresponding…
Standard EU energy system modelling approaches optimize for least-cost, leading to highly centralized systems, in conflict with political feasibility and physical security concerns. This paper incorporates decentralisation as a constraint…
Understanding pedestrian dynamics is critical for mitigating crowd-related risks and improving public safety. In this work, we propose a data-driven mesoscopic modeling framework that combines the kinetic theory of active particles with…
Hubble is still in prime observing condition for making transformative discoveries in UV astronomy. In this white paper we describe the science case for a deep (S/N>30) UV spectroscopic survey with HST/COS targeting approximately 20 QSOs at…
Identifying subgroups of respondents in psychometric data is traditionally addressed with Latent Class Analysis, which requires the number of classes to be specified a priori and can perform poorly when strong inter-item correlations…
Environment plays a crucial role in shaping galaxy formation, yet the impact of overdensities on the internal chemical structure of galaxies at cosmic noon is still under debate. Here, we present spatially resolved gas-phase metallicity…
We report the discovery of a new Cartwheel-type collisional ring galaxy, PGC\,1112751, which we named ``Eridanus Wheel'' (EW). Such systems result from head-on collisions between galaxies and are of considerable interest as laboratories for…
We present a comprehensive study of an infrared (IR) flare in the star-forming galaxy SDSS J010320.39+140152.5, which is selected from the sample of mid-IR (MIR) outbursts in nearby galaxies (MIRONG). Its MIR luminosity rose rapidly to a…
We analyze the rest-frame optical (~8000 {\AA}) morphologies and star formation activity of Ly{\alpha} emitters (LAEs) at redshifts $2.4$, $3.1$, and $4.5$, identified in the ODIN survey. To compare their physical properties with those of…
The cusp-core problem remains a challenge to the $\Lambda$CDM model, since dwarf galaxies often exhibit flat central density cores rather than the steep cusps ($\rho \propto r^{-1}$) predicted by collisionless $N$-body simulations. We model…
Although electric vehicles (EVs) are scaling rapidly, city-scale evidence on real-world operational energy use and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from EVs remains limited. Using Shanghai as a case study, this study develops a bottom-up…
Multigraphs are graphs in which multiple links between pairs of nodes are allowed, whereas they are forbidden in simple graphs, the latter being widely used in network science. Simple graphs generated by the configuration model have served…
Hubble Space Telescope (HST) images are used to study the structure of the central regions of the luminous infrared galaxy (LIRG) IC 860. IC 860 is of special interest as a system due to its extreme central concentration of molecular gas…
We present the construction of stationary solutions of Bose-Einstein condensate dark matter (BECDM) around a point-like gravitational source representing a black hole. The problem is formulated for general axisymmetric configurations, and…
In this era of large surveys and statistical studies of galaxies, the beauty in the details of individual galaxies is often lost. We present a deep study of the spiral galaxy W2246f with MUSE, exploring the spatially-resolved stellar and…
Dynamical modelling can be used to constrain the masses of central black holes; however, modelling massive galaxies is challenging due to their complexity. In this work, we report six new supermassive black hole mass measurements of massive…
The Hubble Space Telescope is the only high-resolution ultraviolet spectroscopic facility that will exist until the Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) achieves first light in the mid-2040s. We describe a coherent class of science, coupling…
Population-II pulsating stars provide a route to extragalactic distances that is independent of the classical Cepheid distance scale and complementary to geometric and tip-of-the-red-giant-branch (TRGB) methods. We apply optical Wesenheit…
JWST has revealed an overabundance of apparent (`Coma'-like) cluster progenitors at $z>5$ that is $\sim$ two (300) times in excess of, and in $2.3\sigma$ ($4\sigma$) tension with, the number density of such objects at present day and…
