Identification of multi-component LOFAR sources with multi-modal deep learning
(2024-06-11)Modern high-sensitivity radio telescopes are discovering an increased number of resolved sources with intricate radio structures and fainter radio emissions. These sources often present a challenge because source detectors ... -
Superfluid Spin-up: Three-dimensional Simulations of Post-glitch Dynamics in Neutron Star Cores
(2024-10-20)Neutron stars show a steady decrease in their rotational frequency, occasionally interrupted by sudden spin-up events called glitches. The dynamics of a neutron star after a glitch involve the transfer of angular momentum ... -
Responses to killing in state-sanctioned and unsanctioned killers: pathways of construing
(2024-09-17)Examples of responses to killing are provided from three groups of state-sanctioned killers: executioners, perpetrators of genocide, and members of the armed forces; as well as violent offenders. The extent to which such ... -
A study of transmission properties in tapered graded-index fibre
(SPIE (International Society for Optics and Phonotics), 2024-09-30)We investigated the transmission properties of tapered fibres both experimentally with simulations in order to select the appropriate fibre for the high-resolution spectrograph EXOhSPEC. The work focuses on testing commercial ... -

(2022-10-30)Background Symptomatic hand osteoarthritis is more common in women than in men, and its incidence increases around the age of menopause, implicating oestrogen deficiency. No randomised controlled trials of hormone replacement ... -
The LOFAR Two Metre Sky Survey Data Release 2: Probabilistic Spectral Source Classifications and Faint Radio Source Demographics
(2024-10-01)We present an analysis of 152 355 radio sources identified in the second data release of the LOFAR Two Metre Sky Survey (LoTSS-DR2) with Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) spectroscopic redshifts in the range <tex-math ... -
Exploring the high-density reflection model for the soft excess in RBS 1124
(2024-10-01)'Bare' active galactic nuclei (AGN) are a subclass of Type 1 AGN that show little or no intrinsic absorption. They offer an unobscured view of the central regions of the AGN and therefore serve as ideal targets to study ... -
