GLIMPSE: An Ultrafaint ≃105 M⊙ Pop III Galaxy Candidate and First Constraints on the Pop III UV Luminosity Function at z ≃ 6–7 by Seiji Fujimoto, Rohan P. Naidu, John Chisholm, Hakim Atek, Ryan Endsley, Vasily Kokorev, Lukas J. Furtak, Richard Pan, Boyuan Liu, Volker Bromm, Alessandra Venditti, Eli Visbal, Richard Sarmento, Andrea Weibel, Pascal A. Oesch, Gabriel Brammer, Daniel Schaerer, Angela Adamo, Danielle A.

McQuinn, Julian B. Muñoz, Priyamvada Natarajan, Alberto Saldana-Lopez, Katherine A. Suess, Marta Volonteri, Adi Zitrin

“…These properties indicate the presence of a nascent, metal-deficient young stellar population (<5 Myr) with a stellar mass of ≃10 ^5 M _⊙ . Intriguingly, this source deviates significantly from the extrapolated UV–metallicity relation derived from recent JWST observations at z = 4–10, consistent with UV enhancement by a top-heavy Pop III initial mass function or the presence of an extremely metal-poor active galactic nucleus. …”

Analysis of the Relationship Between Assimilate Production and Allocation and the Formation of Rice Quality by Jianming Tu, Fengting Wen, Feitong Li, Tingting Chen, Baohua Feng, Jie Xiong, Guanfu Fu, Yebo Qin, Wenting Wang

“…Correlation analysis indicated that dry matter mass and net photosynthetic rate were significantly positively correlated with yield, but not with taste quality, highlighting the complexity of taste quality formation. Using a membership function comprehensive evaluation method (combines the outputs of multiple membership functions into a single composite value using specific rules (e.g., weighted average, extremum, logical operations) to produce a new membership degree.), a rice variety selection system balancing yield and quality was constructed, and three varieties (Zhongzheyou 8, Huazheyou 261, and Quanyousimiao) were identified as having both high yield and excellent quality. …”

Anisotropic Diffusion of e± in Pulsar Halos over Multiple Coherence of Magnetic Fields by Kai Yan, Sha Wu, Ruo-Yu Liu

“…Also, the halo’s morphology may appear less asymmetric, especially after being smoothed by the point-spread function of instruments. This largely relaxes the tension between the asymmetric morphology of halos predicted by the model and the lack of apparent asymmetric halos detected so far. …”
