Investigating skyrmion stability and core polarity reversal in NdMn2Ge2 by Samuel K. Treves, Victor Ukleev, Andreas Apseros, Jamie Robert Massey, Kai Wagner, Paul Lehmann, Aki Kitaori, Naoya Kanazawa, Jeffrey A. Brock, Simone Finizio, Joakim Reuteler, Yoshinori Tokura, Patrick Maletinsky, Valerio Scagnoli

“…Abstract We present a study on nanoscale skyrmionic spin textures in $$\hbox {NdMn}_{{2}}\hbox {Ge}_{{2}}$$ , a rare-earth complex noncollinear ferromagnet. We confirm, using X-ray microscopy, that $$\hbox {NdMn}_{{2}}\hbox {Ge}_{{2}}$$ can host lattices of metastable skyrmion bubbles at room temperature in the absence of a magnetic field, after applying a suitable field cooling protocol. …”

Design Optimization and Parameter Analysis of a Hybrid Rocket Motor-Powered Small LEO Launch Vehicle by Hao Zhu, Pengcheng Wang, Weile Xu, Yuanjun Zhang, Hui Tian, Guobiao Cai

“…An integrated overall design model for the hybrid rocket motor-powered small launch vehicle (HPSLV) is established, and two groups of three-stage SLVs capable of sending small payloads to the low earth orbit (LEO) are designed and optimized. In the first group, the SLVs with different grain shapes and different numbers of chambers in HRMs at the 1st and the 2nd stages are optimized and analyzed. …”

Thermospheric Conditions Associated With the Loss of 40 Starlink Satellites by Yongliang Zhang, Larry J. Paxton, Robert Schaefer, William H. Swartz

“…There are a few reasons for the dawn‐dusk asymmetry in the relative density increase: (a) the pre‐storm background density or heat capacity is lower on the dawn‐side than that on the duskside, (b) stronger auroral heating was observed on the dawnside based on analysis of auroral images, (c) the thermosphere density enhancement partially recovered when the disturbance co‐rotated with the Earth from dawn to dusk side due to enhanced infrared cooling by NO. …”

Increases in vegetation cover increase response more to climate change than to human activities in the Baiyangdian watershed by Jiashan Gao, Jianying Yang

“…By analysing the spatial and temporal characteristics of vegetation cover in the Baiyangdian watershed, we investigated the response of climate change and human activities to vegetation cover, and revealed the evolution patterns and driving mechanisms of vegetation cover under changing environments. Utilizing the Google Earth Engine (GEE) and Landsat remote sensing images, the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) of the Baiyangdian watershed from 1992 to 2022 was extracted. …”
