The Extraordinary Long-lasting Infrared Echo of PS16dtm Reveals an Extremely Energetic Nuclear Outburst by Ning Jiang, Di Luo, Jiazheng Zhu, Roc M. Cutri

“…Such large energetic output compared to normal TDEs could be boosted by the preexisting accretion disk and gas clouds around the black hole. Our model can be validated in the near future by IR time-domain surveys such as the Near-Earth Object Surveyor, given the recent retirement of WISE. …”

Towards a Noninvasive Intracranial Tumor Irradiation Using 3D Optical Imaging and Multimodal Data Registration by R. Posada, Ch. Daul, D. Wolf, P. Aletti

“…The 3D data used for the positioning is point clouds spread over the patient's head (CT-data usually acquired during treatment) and points distributed over the patient's face which are acquired with a structured light sensor fixed in the therapy room. …”

High-resolution canopy fuel maps based on GEDI: a foundation for wildfire modeling in Germany by Johannes Heisig, Milutin Milenković, Edzer Pebesma

“…Instead of using field measurements, we generate (GEDI-) footprint-level estimates for canopy (Base) height (CH, CBH), cover (CC), bulk density (CBD), and fuel load (CFL) by segmenting airborne Light Detection and Ranging point clouds and processing tree-level metrics with allometric crown biomass models. …”

The Age–Velocity Dispersion Relations of the Galactic Disk as Revealed by the LAMOST-Gaia Red Clump Stars by Weixiang Sun, Han Shen, Biwei Jiang, Xiaowei Liu

“…These results indicate that the thin disk stars are likely heated by long-term heating from giant molecular clouds and spiral arms, while thick disk stars are likely heated by some violent heating process from merger and accretion, and/or formed by the inside-out and upside-down star formation scenarios, and/or born in the chaotic mergers of gas-rich systems and/or turbulent interstellar medium. …”

Atacama Large Aperture Submillimeter Telescope (AtLAST) science: Our Galaxy [version 2; peer review: 2 approved] by Pamela Klaassen, Maria Beltrán, Alessio Traficante, Mark Booth, Kate Pattle, Jonathan Marshall, Joshua Lovell, Brandt Gaches, Alvaro Hacar, Nicolas Peretto, Caroline Bot, Doris Arzoumanian, Thomas Stanke, Gaspard Duchêne, Ana Duarte Cabral, Antonio Hales, David Eden, Patricia Luppe, Jens Kauffmann, Elena Redaelli, Sebastian Marino, Álvaro Sánchez-Monge, Andrew Rigby, Dmitry Semenov, Eugenio Schisano, Mark Thompson, Silvia Spezzano, Claudia Cicone, Friedrich Wyrowski, Martin Cordiner, Tony Mroczkowski, Doug Johnstone, Luca Di Mascolo, Minju Lee, Eelco van Kampen, Thomas Maccarone, Daizhong Liu, Matthew Smith, Amélie Saintonge, Sven Wedemeyer, Alexander Thelen

“…As we learn more about the multi-scale interstellar medium (ISM) of our Galaxy, we develop a greater understanding for the complex relationships between the large-scale diffuse gas and dust in Giant Molecular Clouds (GMCs), how it moves, how it is affected by the nearby massive stars, and which portions of those GMCs eventually collapse into star forming regions. …”

A Novel Approach to Optimize Key Limitations of Azure Kinect DK for Efficient and Precise Leaf Area Measurement by Ziang Niu, Ting Huang, Chengjia Xu, Xinyue Sun, Mohamed Farag Taha, Yong He, Zhengjun Qiu

“…By focusing processing efforts on the image level rather than directly on 3D point clouds, this approach markedly enhanced both efficiency and accuracy with the sufficient utilization of the Azure Kinect DK, making it a promising solution for high-throughput 3D crop phenotyping.…”

Pushing the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array to the Limit: 140 pc Resolution Observations of a z = 6.6 Quasar–Galaxy Merger Resolve Strikingly Different Morphologies of... by Romain A. Meyer, Bram Venemans, Marcel Neeleman, Roberto Decarli, Fabian Walter

“…The absence of significant [C ii ] emission by structures with physical scale ≲ 1 kpc implies that [C ii ] emission is not produced in dense PDRs located at the boundary of giant molecular clouds. We argue instead that [C ii ] is produced in low-density PDRs in the interstellar medium and diffuse H i gas tidally stripped during the ongoing merger.…”
