Abstract: Over the past decades, libraries of stellar spectra have been used in a large variety of science cases, including as sources of reference spectra for a given object or a given spectral type. Despite the existence of large libraries and the increasing number of projects of large-scale spectral surveys, there is to date only one very high-resolution spectral library offering spectra from a few hundred objects from the southern hemisphere (UVES-POP) . We aim to extend the sample, offering a finer coverage of effective temperatures and surface gravity with a uniform collection of spectra obtained in the northern hemisphere. Between 2010 and 2020, we acquired several thousand echelle spectra of bright stars with the Mercator-HERMES spectrograph located in the Roque de Los Muchachos Observatory in La Palma, whose pipeline offers high-quality data reduction products. We have also developed methods to correct for the instrumental response in order to approach the true shape of the spectral continuum. Additionally, we have devised a normalisation process to provide a homogeneous normalisation of the full spectral range for most of the objects. We present a new spectral library consisting of 3256 spectra covering 2043 stars. It combines high signal-to-noise and high spectral resolution over the entire range of effective temperatures and luminosity classes. The spectra are presented in four versions: raw, corrected from the instrumental response, with and without correction from the atmospheric molecular absorption, and normalised (including the telluric correction)., Comment: 17 pages, 18 figures Preview and access to the library: https://www.royer.se/melchiors.html

Abstract: The goal of our study is to provide a reliable classification of variability of A-F stars brighter than 11 mag located in the northern TESS continuous viewing zone. We also aim at thorough discussion about issues in the classification related to the data characteristics and the issues arising from the similar light curve shape generated by different physical mechanisms. We used TESS long- and short-cadence photometric data and corresponding Fourier transform to classify the variability type of the stars. We present a clear and concise classification system that is demonstrated on many examples. We found clear signs of variability in 3025 of 5923 studied stars (51 %). For 1813 of these 3025 stars, we provide a classification. From the classified stars, 64.5 % are pulsating stars of GDOR and DSCT types and their hybrids. We realised that the long- and short-cadence PDCSAP data can differ significantly not only in amplitudes but also in the content of instrumental/data reduction artifacts making the long-cadence data less reliable. We identified a new group of stars showing stable light curves and characteristic frequency spectra pattern (8.5 % of the classified stars). According to the position in the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram, these stars are likely GDOR stars but are about 200 K cooler than GDORs on average and have smaller amplitudes and longer periods in average. We show that without spectroscopic observations, it can be impossible to unambiguously distinguish between ellipsoidal variability and rotational variability. We also apply our methodology to three previous studies and found significant discrepancies in the classification. We demonstrate how difficult the classification of variable A-F stars can be when using only photometric data., Comment: Accepted for publication in A&A, 23 pages, 17 figures, 5 tables

Abstract: We report the discovery of TOI-1268b, a transiting Saturn-mass planet from the TESS space mission. With an age of less than one Gyr, derived from various age indicators, TOI-1268b is the youngest Saturn-mass planet known to date and contributes to the small sample of well characterised young planets. It has an orbital period of $P\,=\,8.1577080\pm0.0000044$ days, and transits an early K dwarf star with a mass of $M_\star$ = $ 0.96 \pm 0.04$ $M_{\odot}$, a radius of $R_\star$ = $ 0.92 \pm 0.06$ $R_{\odot}$, an effective temperature of $T_\mathrm{eff}\,=\,5300\pm100$ K, and a metallicity of $0.36\pm0.06$ dex. By combining TESS photometry with high-resolution spectra acquired with the Tull spectrograph at McDonald observatory, and the high-resolution spectrographs at Tautenburg and Ondrejov observatories, we measured a planetary mass of $M_\mathrm{p}\,=\,96.4 \pm 8.3\,M_{\oplus}$ and a radius of $R_\mathrm{p}\,=\,9.1 \pm 0.6\,R_{\oplus}$. TOI-1268 is an ideal system to study the role of star-planet tidal interactions for non-inflated Saturn-mass planets. We used system parameters derived in this paper to constrain the planet tidal quality factor to the range of $10^{4.5-5.3}$. When compared with the sample of other non-inflated Saturn-mass planets, TOI-1268b is one of the best candidates for transmission spectroscopy studies., Comment: 21 pages, 17 figures, accepted for publication in Astronomy & Astrophysics; see independent work by Dong et al. for Rossiter-McLaughlin measurement of TOI-1268b

Abstract: Milky Way dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSphs) are among the best candidates to search for signals of dark matter annihilation with Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes, given their high mass-to-light ratios and the fact that they are free of astrophysical gamma-ray emitting sources. Since 2011, MAGIC has performed a multi-year observation program in search for Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) in dSphs. Results on the observations of Segue 1 and Ursa Major II dSphs have already been published and include some of the most stringent upper limits (ULs) on the velocity-averaged cross-section $\langle \sigma_{\mathrm{ann}} v \rangle$ of WIMP annihilation from observations of dSphs. In this work, we report on the analyses of 52.1 h of data of Draco dSph and 49.5 h of Coma Berenices dSph observed with the MAGIC telescopes in 2018 and in 2019 respectively. No hint of a signal has been detected from either of these targets and new constraints on the $\langle \sigma_{\mathrm{ann}} v \rangle$ of WIMP candidates have been derived. In order to improve the sensitivity of the search and reduce the effect of the systematic uncertainties due to the $J$-factor estimates, we have combined the data of all dSphs observed with the MAGIC telescopes. Using 354.3 h of dSphs good quality data, 95 % CL ULs on $\langle \sigma_{\mathrm{ann}} v \rangle$ have been obtained for 9 annihilation channels. For most of the channels, these results reach values of the order of $10^{-24} $cm$^3$/s at ${\sim}1$ TeV and are the most stringent limits obtained with the MAGIC telescopes so far., Comment: 17 pages, 5 figures

Abstract: We report multiwavelength observations of the gravitationally lensed blazar QSO B0218+357 in 2016-2020. Optical, X-ray and GeV flares were detected. The contemporaneous MAGIC observations do not show significant very-high-energy (VHE, >= 100 GeV) gamma-ray emission. The lack of enhancement in radio emission measured by OVRO indicates the multi-zone nature of the emission from this object. We constrain the VHE duty cycle of the source to be < 16 2014-like flares per year (95% confidence). For the first time for this source, a broadband low-state SED is constructed with a deep exposure up to the VHE range. A flux upper limit on the low-state VHE gamma-ray emission of an order of magnitude below that of the 2014 flare is determined. The X-ray data are used to fit the column density of (8.10 +- 0.93 stat ) x 10^21 cm^-2 of the dust in the lensing galaxy. VLBI observations show a clear radio core and jet components in both lensed images, yet no significant movement of the components is seen. The radio measurements are used to model the source-lens-observer geometry and determine the magnifications and time delays for both components. The quiescent emission is modeled with the high-energy bump explained as a combination of synchrotron-self-Compton and external Compton emission from a region located outside of the broad line region. The bulk of the low-energy emission is explained as originating from a tens-of-parsecs scale jet., Comment: 21 pages, 12 figures, 5 tables, accepted for publication in MNRAS

Abstract: The results of gamma-ray observations of the binary system HESS J0632+057 collected during 450 hours over 15 years, between 2004 and 2019, are presented. Data taken with the atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes H.E.S.S., MAGIC, and VERITAS at energies above 350 GeV were used together with observations at X-ray energies obtained with Swift-XRT, Chandra, XMM-Newton, NuSTAR, and Suzaku. Some of these observations were accompanied by measurements of the H{\alpha} emission line. A significant detection of the modulation of the VHE gamma-ray fluxes with a period of 316.7+-4.4 days is reported, consistent with the period of 317.3+-0.7 days obtained with a refined analysis of X-ray data. The analysis of data of four orbital cycles with dense observational coverage reveals short timescale variability, with flux-decay timescales of less than 20 days at very high energies. Flux variations observed over the time scale of several years indicate orbit-to-orbit variability. The analysis confirms the previously reported correlation of X-ray and gamma-ray emission from the system at very high significance, but can not find any correlation of optical H{\alpha} parameters with X-ray or gamma-ray energy fluxes in simultaneous observations. The key finding is that the emission of HESS J0632+057 in the X-ray and gamma-ray energy bands is highly variable on different time scales. The ratio of gamma-ray to X-ray flux shows the equality or even dominance of the gamma-ray energy range. This wealth of new data is interpreted taking into account the insufficient knowledge of the ephemeris of the system, and discussed in the context of results reported on other gamma-ray binary systems., Comment: Accepted for publication by The Astrophysical Journal

Abstract: PSR J0218+4232 is one of the most energetic millisecond pulsars known and has long been considered as one of the best candidates for very high-energy (VHE; >100 GeV) gamma-ray emission. Using 11.5 years of Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) data between 100 MeV and 870 GeV, and ~90 hours of MAGIC observations in the 20 GeV to 20 TeV range, we have searched for the highest energy gamma-ray emission from PSR J0218+4232. Based on the analysis of the LAT data, we find evidence for pulsed emission above 25 GeV, but see no evidence for emission above 100 GeV (VHE) with MAGIC. We present the results of searches for gamma-ray emission, along with theoretical modeling, to interpret the lack of VHE emission. We conclude that, based on the experimental observations and theoretical modeling, it will remain extremely challenging to detect VHE emission from PSR J0218+4232 with the current generation of Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes (IACTs), and maybe even with future ones, such as the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA)., Comment: 19 pages, 9 figures, Accepted to ApJ

Abstract: We report here on the first multi-wavelength (MWL) campaign on the blazar TXS 1515-273, undertaken in 2019 and extending from radio to very-high-energy gamma rays (VHE). Up until now, this blazar had not been the subject of any detailed MWL observations. It has a rather hard photon index at GeV energies and was considered a candidate extreme high-synchrotronpeaked source. MAGIC observations resulted in the first-time detection of the source in VHE with a statistical significance of 7.6$\sigma$. The average integral VHE flux of the source is 6 $\pm$ 1% of the Crab nebula flux above 400 GeV. X-ray coverage was provided by Swift-XRT, XMMNewton, and NuSTAR. The long continuous X-ray observations were separated by $\sim$ 9 h, both showing clear hour scale flares. In the XMM-Newton data, both the rise and decay timescales are longer in the soft X-ray than in the hard X-ray band, indicating the presence of a particle cooling regime. The X-ray variability timescales were used to constrain the size of the emission region and the strength of the magnetic field. The data allowed us to determine the synchrotron peak frequency and classify the source as a flaring high, but not extreme, synchrotron peaked object. Considering the constraints and variability patterns from the X-ray data, we model the broad-band spectral energy distribution. We applied a simple one-zone model, which could not reproduce the radio emission and the shape of the optical emission, and a two-component leptonic model with two interacting components, enabling us to reproduce the emission from radio to VHE band.

Abstract: We present a detailed characterisation and theoretical interpretation of the broadband emission of the paradigmatic TeV blazar Mrk 421, with special focus on the multi-band flux correlations. The dataset has been collected through an extensive multiwavelength campaign organised between 2016 December and 2017 June. The instruments involved are MAGIC, FACT, Fermi-LAT, Swift, GASP-WEBT, OVRO, Medicina and Mets\"ahovi. Additionally, four deep exposures (several hours long) with simultaneous MAGIC and NuSTAR observations allowed a precise measurement of the falling segments of the two spectral components. The very-high-energy (VHE; E > 100 GeV) gamma rays and X-rays are positively correlated at zero time lag, but the strength and characteristics of the correlation change substantially across the various energy bands probed. The VHE versus X-ray fluxes follow different patterns, partly due to substantial changes in the Compton dominance during a few days without a simultaneous increase in the X-ray flux (i.e. orphan gamma-ray activity). Studying the broadband spectral energy distribution (SED) during the days including NuSTAR observations, we show that these changes can be explained within a one-zone leptonic model with a blob that increases its size over time. Our multi-band correlation study also hints at an anti-correlation between UV/optical and X-ray at a significance higher than 3 sigmas. A VHE flare observed on 2017 February 4 shows gamma-ray variability on multi-hour timescales, with a factor 10 increase in the TeV flux but only a moderate increase in the keV flux. The related broadband SED is better described by a two-zone leptonic scenario rather than by a one-zone scenario. We find that the flare can be produced by the appearance of a compact second blob populated by high energetic electrons spanning a narrow range of Lorentz factors., Comment: 38 pages, 23 figures, accepted for publication in Astronomy and Astrophysics.

Abstract: Context. QSO B1420+326 is a blazar classified as a Flat Spectrum Radio Quasar (FSRQ). In the beginning of 2020 it underwent an enhanced flux state. An extensive multiwavelength campaign allowed us to trace the evolution of the flare. Aims. We search for VHE gamma-ray emission from QSO B1420+326 during this flaring state. We aim to characterize and model the broadband emission of the source over different phases of the flare. Methods. The source was observed with a number of instruments in radio, near infrared, optical (including polarimetry and spectroscopy), ultra-violet, X-ray and gamma-ray bands. We use dedicated optical spectroscopy results to estimate the accretion disk and the dust torus luminosity. We perform spectral energy distribution modeling in the framework of combined Synchrotron-Self-Compton and External Compton scenario in which the electron energy distribution is partially determined from acceleration and cooling processes. Results. During the enhanced state the flux of both SED components drastically increased and the peaks were shifted to higher energies. Follow up observations with the MAGIC telescopes led to the detection of very-high-energy gamma-ray emission from this source, making it one of only a handful of FSRQs known in this energy range. Modeling allows us to constrain the evolution of the magnetic field and electron energy distribution in the emission region. The gamma-ray flare was accompanied by a rotation of the optical polarization vector during a low polarization state. Also, a new, superluminal radio knot contemporaneously appeared in the radio image of the jet. The optical spectroscopy shows a prominent FeII bump with flux evolving together with the continuum emission and a MgII line with varying equivalent width., Comment: 20 pages, 15 figures, 7 tables, accepted for publication in A&A

Abstract: The flat spectrum radio quasar (FSRQ) PKS 1510-089 is known for its complex multiwavelength behavior, and is one of only a few FSRQs detected at very high energy (VHE, $E>100\,$GeV) $\gamma$-rays. VHE $\gamma$-ray observations with H.E.S.S. and MAGIC during late May and early June 2016 resulted in the detection of an unprecedented flare, which reveals for the first time VHE $\gamma$-ray intranight variability in this source. While a common variability timescale of $1.5\,$hr is found, there is a significant deviation near the end of the flare with a timescale of $\sim 20\,$min marking the cessation of the event. The peak flux is nearly two orders of magnitude above the low-level emission. For the first time, curvature is detected in the VHE $\gamma$-ray spectrum of PKS 1510-089, which is fully explained through absorption by the extragalactic background light. Optical R-band observations with ATOM reveal a counterpart of the $\gamma$-ray flare, even though the detailed flux evolution differs from the VHE ightcurve. Interestingly, a steep flux decrease is observed at the same time as the cessation of the VHE flare. In the high energy (HE, $E>100\,$MeV) $\gamma$-ray band only a moderate flux increase is observed with Fermi-LAT, while the HE $\gamma$-ray spectrum significantly hardens up to a photon index of 1.6. A search for broad-line region (BLR) absorption features in the $\gamma$-ray spectrum indicates that the emission region is located outside of the BLR. Radio VLBI observations reveal a fast moving knot interacting with a standing jet feature around the time of the flare. As the standing feature is located $\sim 50\,$pc from the black hole, the emission region of the flare may have been located at a significant distance from the black hole. If this correlation is indeed true, VHE $\gamma$ rays have been produced far down the jet where turbulent plasma crosses a standing shock., Comment: 25 pages, 17 figures.

Abstract: The coincident detection of GW170817 in gravitational waves and electromagnetic radiation spanning the radio to MeV gamma-ray bands provided the first direct evidence that short gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) can originate from binary neutron star (BNS) mergers. On the other hand, the properties of short GRBs in high-energy gamma rays are still poorly constrained, with only $\sim$20 events detected in the GeV band, and none in the TeV band. GRB~160821B is one of the nearest short GRBs known at $z=0.162$. Recent analyses of the multiwavelength observational data of its afterglow emission revealed an optical-infrared kilonova component, characteristic of heavy-element nucleosynthesis in a BNS merger. Aiming to better clarify the nature of short GRBs, this burst was automatically followed up with the MAGIC telescopes, starting from 24 seconds after the burst trigger. Evidence of a gamma-ray signal is found above $\sim$0.5 TeV at a significance of $\sim3\,\sigma$ during observations that lasted until 4 hours after the burst. Assuming that the observed excess events correspond to gamma-ray emission from GRB 160821B, in conjunction with data at other wavelengths, we investigate its origin in the framework of GRB afterglow models. The simplest interpretation with one-zone models of synchrotron-self-Compton emission from the external forward shock has difficulty accounting for the putative TeV flux. Alternative scenarios are discussed where the TeV emission can be relatively enhanced. The role of future GeV-TeV observations of short GRBs in advancing our understanding of BNS mergers and related topics is briefly addressed., Comment: 13 pages, 4 figures, Accepted for publication in ApJ.

Abstract: We report a characterization of the multi-band flux variability and correlations of the nearby (z=0.031) blazar Markarian 421 (Mrk 421) using data from Mets\"{a}hovi, Swift, Fermi-LAT, MAGIC, FACT and other collaborations and instruments from November 2014 till June 2016. Mrk 421 did not show any prominent flaring activity, but exhibited periods of historically low activity above 1 TeV (F$_{>1\mathrm{TeV}}<$ 1.7$\times$10$^{-12}$ ph cm$^{-2}$ s$^{-1}$) and in the 2-10 keV (X-ray) band (F$_{2-10 \mathrm{keV}}<$3.6$\times$10$^{-11}$ erg cm$^{-2}$ s$^{-1}$), during which the Swift-BAT data suggests an additional spectral component beyond the regular synchrotron emission. The highest flux variability occurs in X-rays and very-high-energy (E$>$0.1 TeV) $\gamma$-rays, which, despite the low activity, show a significant positive correlation with no time lag. The HR$_\mathrm{keV}$ and HR$_\mathrm{TeV}$ show the harder-when-brighter trend observed in many blazars, but the trend flattens at the highest fluxes, which suggests a change in the processes dominating the blazar variability. Enlarging our data set with data from years 2007 to 2014, we measured a positive correlation between the optical and the GeV emission over a range of about 60 days centered at time lag zero, and a positive correlation between the optical/GeV and the radio emission over a range of about 60 days centered at a time lag of $43^{+9}_{-6}$ days.This observation is consistent with the radio-bright zone being located about 0.2 parsec downstream from the optical/GeV emission regions of the jet. The flux distributions are better described with a LogNormal function in most of the energy bands probed, indicating that the variability in Mrk 421 is likely produced by a multiplicative process., Comment: 45 pages, 30 figures, 6 tables, accepted for publication in MNRAS

Abstract: We report the detection of pulsed gamma-ray emission from the Geminga pulsar (PSR J0633+1746) between $15\,$GeV and $75\,$GeV. This is the first time a middle-aged pulsar has been detected up to these energies. Observations were carried out with the MAGIC telescopes between 2017 and 2019 using the low-energy threshold Sum-Trigger-II system. After quality selection cuts, $\sim 80\,$hours of observational data were used for this analysis. To compare with the emission at lower energies below the sensitivity range of MAGIC, $11$ years of Fermi-LAT data above $100\,$MeV were also analysed. From the two pulses per rotation seen by Fermi-LAT, only the second one, P2, is detected in the MAGIC energy range, with a significance of $6.3\,\sigma$. The spectrum measured by MAGIC is well-represented by a simple power law of spectral index $\Gamma= 5.62\pm0.54$, which smoothly extends the Fermi-LAT spectrum. A joint fit to MAGIC and Fermi-LAT data rules out the existence of a sub-exponential cut-off in the combined energy range at the $3.6\,\sigma$ significance level. The power-law tail emission detected by MAGIC is interpreted as the transition from curvature radiation to Inverse Compton Scattering of particles accelerated in the northern outer gap., Comment: Corresponding authors: Marcos L\'opez-Moya, Giovanni Ceribella, Kouichi Hirotani and Thomas Schweizer

Abstract: Context. Diffusive shock acceleration (DSA) is the most promising mechanism to accelerate Galactic cosmic rays (CRs) in the shocks of supernova remnants (SNRs). The turbulence upstream is supposedly generated by the CRs, but this process is not well understood. The dominant mechanism may depend on the evolutionary state of the shock and can be studied via the CRs escaping upstream into the interstellar medium (ISM). Aims. Previous observations of the $\gamma$-Cygni SNR showed a difference in morphology between GeV and TeV energies. Since this SNR has the right age and is at the evolutionary stage for a significant fraction of CRs to escape, we aim to understand $\gamma$-ray emission in the vicinity of the $\gamma$-Cygni SNR. Methods. We observed the region of the $\gamma$-Cygni SNR with the MAGIC Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes between May 2015 and September 2017 recording 87 h of good-quality data. Additionally we analysed Fermi-LAT data to study the energy dependence of the morphology as well as the energy spectrum in the GeV to TeV range. The energy spectra and morphology were compared against theoretical predictions, which include a detailed derivation of the CR escape process and their $\gamma$-ray generation. Results. The MAGIC and Fermi-LAT data allowed us to identify three emission regions, which can be associated with the SNR and dominate at different energies. Our hadronic emission model accounts well for the morphology and energy spectrum of all source components. It constrains the time-dependence of the maximum energy of the CRs at the shock, the time-dependence of the level of turbulence, and the diffusion coefficient immediately outside the SNR shock. While in agreement with the standard picture of DSA, the time-dependence of the maximum energy was found to be steeper than predicted and the level of turbulence was found to change over the lifetime of the SNR., Comment: 20 pages, 10 figures.

Abstract: We investigate the physical nature and origin of the gamma-ray emission from the extended source HESS J1841-055 observed at TeV and GeV energies. We observed HESS J1841-055 at TeV energies for a total effective time of 43 hours with the MAGIC telescopes, in 2012 and 2013. Additionally, we analysed the GeV counterpart making use of about 10 years of Fermi-LAT data. Using both Fermi-LAT and MAGIC, we study both the spectral and energy-dependent morphology of the source for almost four decades of energy. The origin of the gamma-ray emission from this region is investigated using multi-waveband information on sources present in this region, suggested to be associated with this unidentified gamma-ray source. We find that the extended emission at GeV-TeV energies is best described by more than one source model. We also perform the first energy-dependent analysis of the HESS J1841-055 region at GeV-TeV. We find that the emission at lower energies comes from a diffuse or extended component, while the major contribution of gamma rays above 1 TeV arises from the southern part of the source. Moreover, we find that a significant curvature is present in the combined observed spectrum of MAGIC and Fermi-LAT. The first multi-wavelength spectral energy distribution of this unidentified source shows that the emission at GeV-TeV energies can be well explained with both leptonic and hadronic models. For the leptonic scenario, bremsstrahlung is the dominant emission compared to inverse Compton. On the other hand, for the hadronic model, gamma-ray resulting from the decay of neutral pions ($\pi^0$) can explain the observed spectrum. The presence of dense molecular clouds overlapping with HESS J1841-055 makes both bremsstrahlung and $\pi^0$-decay processes the dominant emission mechanisms for the source., Comment: 11 pages, 8 figures, 5 tables.

Abstract: Context. It has become evident that one-zone synchrotron self-Compton models are not always adequate for very-high-energy (VHE) gamma-ray emitting blazars. While two-component models are performing better, they are difficult to constrain due to the large number of free parameters. Aims. In this work, we make a first attempt to take into account the observational constraints from Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) data, long-term light curves (radio, optical, and X-rays) and optical polarisation to limit the parameter space for a two-component model and test if it can still reproduce the observed spectral energy distribution (SED) of the blazars. Methods. We selected five TeV BL Lac objects based on the availability of VHE gamma-ray and optical polarisation data. We collected constraints for the jet parameters from VLBI observations. We evaluated the contributions of the two components to the optical flux by means of decomposition of long-term radio and optical light curves as well as modeling of the optical polarisation variability of the objects. We selected eight epochs for these five objects, based on the variability observed at VHE gamma rays, for which we constructed the SEDs that we then modeled with a two-component model. Results. We found parameter sets which can reproduce the broadband SED of the sources in the framework of two-component models considering all available observational constraints from VLBI observations. Moreover, the constraints obtained from the long-term behavior of the sources in the lower energy bands could be used to determine the region where the emission in each band originates. Finally, we attempted to use optical polarisation data to shed new light on the behavior of the two components in the optical band. Our observationally constrained two zone model allows explanation of the entire SED from radio to VHE with two co-located emission regions.

Abstract: On January 14, 2019, the Major Atmospheric Gamma Imaging Cherenkov telescopes detected GRB 190114C above 0.2 TeV, recording the most energetic photons ever observed from a gamma-ray burst. We use this unique observation to probe an energy dependence of the speed of light in vacuo for photons as predicted by several quantum gravity models. Based on a set of assumptions on the possible intrinsic spectral and temporal evolution, we obtain competitive lower limits on the quadratic leading order of speed of light modification., Comment: 8 pages, 5 figures, Published in Physical Review Letters, Corresponding authors: Tomislav Terzi\'c (tterzic@phy.uniri.hr), Giacomo D'Amico (damico@mppmu.mpg.de), Daniel Kerszberg (dkerszberg@ifae.es), Cedric Perennes (perennes.cedric@gmail.com)

Abstract: Disks in binary systems can cause exotic eclipsing events. MWC 882 (BD-22 4376, EPIC 225300403) is such a disk-eclipsing system identified from observations during Campaign 11 of the K2 mission. We propose that MWC 882 is a post-Algol system with a B7 donor star of mass $0.542\pm0.053\,M_\odot$ in a 72 day period orbit around an A0 accreting star of mass $3.24\pm0.29\,M_\odot$. The $59.9\pm6.2\,R_\odot$ disk around the accreting star occults the donor star once every orbit, inducing 19 day long, 7% deep eclipses identified by K2, and subsequently found in pre-discovery ASAS and ASAS-SN observations. We coordinated a campaign of photometric and spectroscopic observations for MWC 882 to measure the dynamical masses of the components and to monitor the system during eclipse. We found the photometric eclipse to be gray to $\approx 1$%. We found the primary star exhibits spectroscopic signatures of active accretion, and observed gas absorption features from the disk during eclipse. We suggest MWC 882 initially consisted of a $\approx 3.6\,M_\odot$ donor star transferring mass via Roche lobe overflow to a $\approx 2.1\,M_\odot$ accretor in a $\approx 7$ day initial orbit. Through angular momentum conservation, the donor star is pushed outward during mass transfer to its current orbit of 72 days. The observed state of the system corresponds with the donor star having left the Red Giant Branch ~0.3 Myr ago, terminating active mass transfer. The present disk is expected to be short-lived ($10^2$ years) without an active feeding mechanism, presenting a challenge to this model., Comment: 19 pages, accepted for publication in ApJ

20. The Radial Velocity Variability of the K-giant Gamma Draconis: Stellar Variability Masquerading as a Planet

Abstract: We present precise stellar radial velocity measurements of Gamma Dra taken from 2003 to 2017. The data from 2003 to 2011 show coherent, long-lived variations with a period of 702 d. These variations are consistent with the presence of a planetary companion having m sin i = 10.7 M_Jup whose orbital properties are typical for giant planets found around evolved stars. An analysis of the Hipparcos photometry, Ca II S-index measurements, and measurements of the spectral line shapes during this time show no variations with the radial velocity of the planet which seems to "confirm"' the presence of the planet. However, radial velocity measurements taken 2011 -- 2017 seem to refute this. From 2011 to 2013 the radial velocity variations virtually disappear only to return in 2014, but with a noticeable phase shift. The total radial velocity variations are consistent either with amplitude variations on timescales of ~ 10.6 yr, or the beating effect between two periods of 666 d and 801 d. It seems unlikely that both these signals stem from a two-planet system. A simple dynamical analysis indicates that there is only a 1-2 % chance that the two-planet is stable. Rather, we suggest that this multi-periodic behavior may represent a new form of stellar variability, possibly related to oscillatory convective modes. If such intrinsic stellar variability is common around K giant stars and is attributed to planetary companions, then the planet occurrence rate among these stars may be significantly lower than thought., Comment: 37 pages, 9 figures.

Abstract: Aims .Over the past decades, libraries of stellar spectra have been used in a large variety of science cases, including as sources of reference spectra for a given object or a given spectral type. Despite the existence of large libraries and the increasing number of projects of large-scale spectral surveys, there is to date only one very high-resolution spectral library offering spectra from a few hundred objects from the southern hemisphere (UVES-POP). We aim to extend the sample, offering a finer coverage of effective temperatures and surface gravity with a uniform collection of spectra obtained in the northern hemisphere. Methods .Between 2010 and 2020, we acquired several thousand echelle spectra of bright stars with the Mercator-HERMES spectrograph located in the Roque de Los Muchachos Observatory in La Palma, whose pipeline offers high-quality data reduction products. We have also developed methods to correct for the instrumental response in order to approach the true shape of the spectral continuum. Additionally, we have devised a normalisation process to provide a homogeneous normalisation of the full spectral range for most of the objects. Results .We present a new spectral library consisting of 3256 spectra covering 2043 stars. It combines high signal-to-noise and high spectral resolution over the entire range of effective temperatures and luminosity classes. The spectra are presented in four versions: raw, corrected from the instrumental response, with and without correction from the atmospheric molecular absorption, and normalised (including the telluric correction)., SCOPUS: ar.j, info:eu-repo/semantics/published

Abstract: Scalar electrodynamics can be used to investigate the formation of cosmic strings in the early universe. We present the results of lattice Monte Carlo simulations of an effective three-dimensional U(1)+Higgs theory that describes the equilibrium properties of finite-temperature scalar electrodynamics near the transition. A gauge-invariant criterion for the existence of a vortex is used in measuring the properties of the vortex network in the equilibrium state both in the Coulomb and in the Higgs phase of the system. The naive definition of the vortex density becomes meaningless in the continuum limit and special care is needed in extracting physical quantities. Numerical evidence for a physical discontinuity in the vortex density is given., Comment: 4 pages. Talk given by A. Rajantie at PASCOS-98, March 1998

Abstract: We study non-perturbatively and from first principles the thermodynamics of vortices in 3d U(1) gauge+Higgs theory, or the Ginzburg-Landau model, which has frequently been used as a model for cosmological topological defect formation. We discretize the system and introduce a gauge-invariant definition of a vortex passing through a loop on the lattice. We then study with Monte Carlo simulations the total vortex density, extract the physically meaningful part thereof, and demonstrate that it has a well-defined continuum limit. The total vortex density behaves as a pseudo order parameter, having a discontinuity in the regime of first order transitions and behaving continuously in the regime of second order transitions. Finally, we discuss further gauge-invariant observables to be measured., Comment: 13 pages, 5 figures. Some references added; to appear in Phys.Lett.B

25. Three-dimensional U(1) gauge+Higgs theory as an effective theory for finite temperature phase transitions

Abstract: We study the three-dimensional U(1)+Higgs theory (Ginzburg-Landau model) as an effective theory for finite temperature phase transitions from the 1 K scale of superconductivity to the relativistic scales of scalar electrodynamics. The relations between the parameters of the physical theory and the parameters of the 3d effective theory are given. The 3d theory as such is studied with lattice Monte Carlo techniques. The phase diagram, the characteristics of the transition in the first order regime, and scalar and vector correlation lengths are determined. We find that even rather deep in the first order regime, the transition is weaker than indicated by 2-loop perturbation theory. Topological effects caused by the compact formulation are studied, and it is demonstrated that they vanish in the continuum limit. In particular, the photon mass (inverse correlation length) is observed to be zero within statistical errors in the symmetric phase, thus constituting an effective order parameter., Comment: 42 pages, 14 figures

26. Masses and Phase Structure in the Ginzburg-Landau Model

Author: Kajantie, K., Karjalainen, M., Laine, M., and Peisa, J.
Subjects: Condensed Matter - Superconductivity, High Energy Physics - Lattice
Abstract: We study numerically the phase structure of the Ginzburg-Landau model, with particular emphasis on mass measurements. There is no local gauge invariant order parameter, but we find that there is a phase transition characterized by a vanishing photon mass. For type I superconductors the transition is of 1st order. For type II 1st order is excluded by susceptibility analysis, but the photon correlation length suggests 2nd order critical behaviour with \nu ~ 1/2. The scalar mass, in contrast, does not show clear critical behaviour in the type II regime for V \to \infty, contrary to the conventional picture., Comment: 16 pages, 6 figures.

27. The order of the phase transition in 3d U(1)+Higgs theory

Author: Karjalainen, M., Laine, M., and Peisa, J.
Subjects: High Energy Physics - Lattice
Abstract: We study the order of the phase transition in the 3d U(1)+Higgs theory, which is the Ginzburg-Landau theory of superconductivity. We confirm that for small scalar self-coupling the transition is of first order. For large scalar self-coupling the transition ceases to be of first order, and a non-vanishing scalar mass suggests that the transition may even be of higher than second order., Comment: Poster at LATTICE96(electroweak). 4 pages, 5 figures

Abstract: Background: Preterm birth (<37 weeks of gestation) is a major cause of neonatal death and morbidity. Up to 40% of the variation in timing of birth results from genetic factors, mostly due to the maternal genome. Methods: We conducted a genome-wide meta-analysis of gestational duration and spontaneous preterm birth in 68,732 and 98,370 European mothers, respectively. Results: The meta-analysis detected 15 loci associated with gestational duration, and four loci associated with preterm birth. Seven of the associated loci were novel. The loci mapped to several biologically plausible genes, for example HAND2 whose expression was previously shown to decrease during gestation, associated with gestational duration, and GC (Vitamin D-binding protein), associated with preterm birth. Downstream in silico-analysis suggested regulatory roles as underlying mechanisms for the associated loci. LD score regression found birth weight measures as the most strongly correlated traits, highlighting the unique nature of spontaneous preterm birth phenotype. Tissue expression and colocalization analysis revealed reproductive tissues and immune cell types as the most relevant sites of action. Conclusions: We report novel genetic risk loci that associate with preterm birth or gestational duration, and reproduce findings from previous genome-wide association studies. Altogether, our findings provide new insight into the genetic background of preterm birth. Better characterization of the causal genetic mechanisms will be important to public health as it could suggest new strategies to treat and prevent preterm birth., Author summary Annually, more than 15 million pregnancies are affected by preterm births all over the world. There are no effective ways to prevent preterm birth, and premature babies suffer from neonatal mortality and lifelong morbidities. Genetic factors of mother and fetus explain a large proportion, approximately 30–40%, of the of the variation in gestational age at delivery. To date, there have been just a few unbiased genome-wide investigations set out to locate these genes. Better characterization of the causal genetic mechanisms could suggest new strategies to treat and prevent preterm birth. In the current study, we aimed to identify maternal genetic factors that contribute to the timing of birth by meta-analyzing genome-wide association studies from European populations. We detected 17 independent loci that were associated with gestational duration and/or the risk of preterm birth. Ten of the loci replicated associations from previous studies, and seven were novel. The replicated associations provide strong evidence for the importance of these loci in the timing of birth, although the exact genes and causal variants and pathways still require further functional analysis. The seven novel associations provide further intriguing candidates that may account for the risk of preterm birth. Bioinformatics analysis proposed the associated loci have regulatory functions predominantly in immune cell types and reproductive tissues. The analysis further highlighted the unique nature or preterm birth as a phenotype, since the only traits with strong correlations were birth weight measures that are closely linked to the studied phenotypes. Our findings complement the knowledge of the genetic factors of preterm birth.

Abstract: Background: We investigated health consequences and genetic properties associated with serum IgG concentration in a young and working age general population. Methods: Northern Finland Birth Cohort 1966 (NFBC1966, n = 12,231) health data have been collected from birth to 52 years of age. Relationships between life-long health events, medications, chronic conditions, lifestyle, and serum IgG concentration measured at age 46 years (n = 5430) were analysed. Regulatory mechanisms of serum IgG concentration were considered. Findings: Smoking and genetic variation (FCGR2B and TNFRSF13B) were the most important determinants of serum IgG concentration. Laboratory findings suggestive of common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) were 10-fold higher compared to previous reports (73.7 per 100,000 vs 0.6–6.9 per 100,000). Low IgG was associated with antibiotic use (relative risk 1.285, 95% CI 1.001–1.648; p = 0.049) and sinus surgery (relative risk 2.257, 95% CI 1.163–4.379; p = 0.016). High serum IgG was associated with at least one pneumonia episode (relative risk 1.737, 95% CI 1.032–2.922; p = 0.038) and with total number of pneumonia episodes (relative risk 2.167, 95% CI 1.443–3.254; p < 0.001). Interpretation: CVID-like laboratory findings are surprisingly common in our unselected study population. Any deviation of serum IgG from normal values can be harmful; both low and high serum IgG may indicate immunological insufficiency. Critical evaluation of clinical presentation must accompany immunological laboratory parameters. Funding: Oulu University Hospital VTR, CSL Behring, Foundation for Pediatric Research.

Abstract: 25 páginas, 6 figuras, 2 tablas, Characterization of the genetic landscape of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and related dementias (ADD) provides a unique opportunity for a better understanding of the associated pathophysiological processes. We performed a two-stage genome-wide association study totaling 111,326 clinically diagnosed/'proxy' AD cases and 677,663 controls. We found 75 risk loci, of which 42 were new at the time of analysis. Pathway enrichment analyses confirmed the involvement of amyloid/tau pathways and highlighted microglia implication. Gene prioritization in the new loci identified 31 genes that were suggestive of new genetically associated processes, including the tumor necrosis factor alpha pathway through the linear ubiquitin chain assembly complex. We also built a new genetic risk score associated with the risk of future AD/dementia or progression from mild cognitive impairment to AD/dementia. The improvement in prediction led to a 1.6- to 1.9-fold increase in AD risk from the lowest to the highest decile, in addition to effects of age and the APOE ε4 allele., This work was funded by a grant (EADB) from the EU Joint Programme – Neurodegenerative Disease Research. INSERM UMR1167 is also funded by the INSERM, Institut Pasteur de Lille, Lille Métropole Communauté Urbaine and French government’s LABEX DISTALZ program (development of innovative strategies for a transdisciplinary approach to AD).

Abstract: Context. Diffusive shock acceleration (DSA) is the most promising mechanism that accelerates Galactic cosmic rays (CRs) in the shocks of supernova remnants (SNRs). It is based on particles scattering caused by turbulence ahead and behind the shock. The turbulence upstream is supposedly generated by the CRs, but this process is not well understood. The dominant mechanism may depend on the evolutionary state of the shock and can be studied via the CRs escaping upstream into the interstellar medium (ISM). Aims. Previous observations of the γ Cygni SNR showed a difference in morphology between GeV and TeV energies. Since this SNR has the right age and is at the evolutionary stage for a significant fraction of CRs to escape, our aim is to understand γ-ray emission in the vicinity of the γ Cygni SNR. Methods. We observed the region of the γ Cygni SNR with the MAGIC Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes between 2015 May and 2017 September recording 87 h of good-quality data. Additionally, we analysed Fermi-LAT data to study the energy dependence of the morphology as well as the energy spectrum in the GeV to TeV range. The energy spectra and morphology were compared against theoretical predictions, which include a detailed derivation of the CR escape process and their γ-ray generation. Results. The MAGIC and Fermi-LAT data allowed us to identify three emission regions that can be associated with the SNR and that dominate at different energies. Our hadronic emission model accounts well for the morphology and energy spectrum of all source components. It constrains the time-dependence of the maximum energy of the CRs at the shock, the time-dependence of the level of turbulence, and the diffusion coefficient immediately outside the SNR shock. While in agreement with the standard picture of DSA, the time-dependence of the maximum energy was found to be steeper than predicted, and the level of turbulence was found to change over the lifetime of the SNR.

34. Treading gently between the wor(l)ds:autoethnographically exploring 'strange dialogues' within the modern university

Author: Karjalainen, M. (Magda), Lehtomäki, E. (Elina), and Trahar, S. (Sheila)
Subjects: pedagogy, pedagogika, philosophy of dialogue, dialogin filosofia, szkolnictwo wyższe, korkeakouluopetus, pedagogiikka, decoloniality/modernity, higher education, dekolonialność/nowoczesność, dekolonialisuus/modernisuus, butoh, filozofia dialogu, autoethnography, autoetnografia
Abstract: This autoethnographic dissertation is a story of a transformational journey, initiated by necessity to critically engage with questions of power/knowledge relationships in international higher education in Finland. As a student/teacher/researcher in international study programs, I found it compelling to think with (de)coloniality/modernity to attend to my complicities and responsibilities in this context, so imbued with dilemmas of epistemic injustice. Living autoethnographic inquiry with this lens became also a matter of reclaiming the unified body-mind-spirit as a legitimate site and mode of knowing/being. While autoethnography as a process emerged organically from my academic experiences, as a product, it emerged from the process of writing from the body as inquiry, buttressed by three important encounters: butoh; the multidisciplinary artist Hanna Ojala; and Martin Buber’s philosophy of dialogue. These modes of knowing/being, each sprouting from a different timespace, have come to permeate my educational and researcher praxis, pointing towards holistically nurturing bodymindspirit capacities to encounter uncertainty and the unknown, enabling unlearning in order to imagine alternative forms of living. They intersect and enter dialogues with each other throughout the story, creating spaces for decolonial gestures within and beyond academia. This performative dissertation—a decolonial gesture—is an account of these strange dialogues and their potential for personal and community transformation. It is an invitation to such dialogue. The dissertation is structured around the four seasons of the subarctic climate. Each season-chapter is an entry point to a different dimension of the transformational process. Each chapter has its own role and focus, but none can exist without the others. The reader can follow the cycle beginning with any season. This circular structure emerged organically and offers the reader a sense of the tempos and rhythms that drove the inquiry, yet it leaves a possibly individual sense of wholeness. The dissertation asks a reader to let go of immediate meaning-making, outcomes, and conclusions, to allow their heart, body and soul to be affected. The dissertation is an autoethnographic account that aims to give the reader an experience of the experience of a transformative process of coming to, going through, and coming out of this inquiry. Tiivistelmä Tämä autoetnografinen väitöskirja on tarina muutosmatkasta, joka sai alkunsa tarpeesta puuttua kriittisesti valta- ja tietosuhteisiin liittyviin kysymyksiin kansainvälisessä korkeakouluopetuksessa Suomessa. Opiskelijana/opettajana/tutkijana kansainvälisissä opinto-ohjelmissa oli pakottavaa pohtia (de)koloniaalisuutta/moderniutta hoitaakseni velvollisuuteni ja vastatakseni osallisuudestani tässä viitekehyksessä, joka on täynnä episteemisen epäoikeudenmukaisuuden dilemmoja. Näiden lasien läpi tarkasteltuna elävä autoetnografinen tutkimus sai myös aseman yhtenäisen keho-mieli-hengen palauttajana, oikeutettuna tietämisen/olemisen paikkana ja muotona. Prosessina autoetnografisuus kehittyi orgaanisesti akateemisista kokemuksistani, luomuksena se syntyi tutkimalla keholähtöistä kirjoittamista kolmen tärkeän kohtaamisen tukemana: butoh; taiteilija Hanna Ojala; Martin Buberin dialogin filosofia. Nämä eri aika-avaruuksista versovat tietämisen/olemisen tavat läpäisivät koulutus- ja tutkijakäytäntöni, kukin kehottaen kokonaisvaltaiseen keho-mieli-hengen hoivaan kyetäksemme kohtaamaan epävarmuutta ja tuntematonta, oppimaan pois pystyäksemme kuvittelemaan vaihtoehtoisia elämänmuotoja. Nämä risteävät ja käyvät dialogia läpi koko tarinan luoden tiloja dekolonialistisille eleille paitsi akateemisessa ympäristössä myös sen ulkopuolella. Tämä performatiivinen väitöskirja — dekolonialistinen ele — on kertomus näistä oudoista keskusteluista ja niiden potentiaalista henkilökohtaisiin ja yhteisöllisiin muutoksiin, kutsu vuoropuheluun. Väitöskirja rakentuu subarktisen ilmaston neljän vuodenajan ympärille, jossa jokainen kausi-luku on sisäänkäynti muutosprosessin eri ulottuvuuteen. Jokaisella luvulla on oma roolinsa ja fokuksensa, mutta mikään niistä ei voisi olla olemassa ilman muita. Lukija voi seurata kiertoa aloittaen mistä tahansa vuodenajasta. Tämä kehämäinen rakenne muotoutui luontaisesti ja tarjoaa lukijalle käsityksen niistä temmoista ja rytmeistä, jotka usuttivat tutkimukseen jättäen kuitenkin tilaa yksilölliselle kokonaisaistimukselle. Väitöskirja pyytää lukijaa luopumaan välittömästä merkityshakuisuudesta, tarpeesta tuloksiin ja johtopäätöksiin, jotta sydän, keho ja sielu voisivat vaikuttua. Väitöskirja on autoetnografinen kertomus, jonka tarkoituksena on antaa lukijalle kokemus muutosprosessista, joka johti tähän tutkimukseen, kuljetti sen läpi ja toi siitä mukanaan ulos. Streszczenie Rozprawa opisuje transformacyjną podróż, zainicjowaną z konieczności krytycznego zaangażowania się w kwestie relacji władza-wiedza w międzynarodowym szkolnictwie wyższym w Finlandii. Aby pochylić się nad moim współudziałem i odpowiedzialnością studentki, wykładowczyni i badaczki w tym przesiąkniętym dylematami epistemicznej niesprawiedliwości kontekście, uczyniłam (de)kolonialność/nowoczesność myślą przewodnią pracy. Przeżycie autoetnograficznej eksploracji z tej perspektywy, stało się również kwestią odzyskania zjednoczonego ciała-umysłu-ducha, jako uprawnionego źródła oraz sposobu poznania i bycia. Autoetnografia jako proces wynika z moich doświadczeń akademickich, ale jest również produktem procesu ucieleśnionego pisania jako dociekania, wspartego trzema ważnymi spotkaniami: z butoh; multidyscyplinarną artystką Hanną Ojalą oraz filozofią dialogu Martina Bubera. Te sposoby poznania i bycia, pochodzące z różnych czasoprzestrzeni, przeniknęły moją praktykę edukacyjną i badawczą. Ukierunkowały mnie na pielęgnowanie potencjału zunifikowanego ciała-umysłu-ducha w obliczu niepewnego i nieznanego oraz oduczania się, w celu wyobrażenia sobie alternatywnych sposobów życia. Przecinają się i wchodzą ze sobą w dialogi, tworząc przestrzeń dla dekolonialnych gestów w środowisku akademickim i poza nim. Ta performatywna rozprawa—gest dekolonialny—opisuje te „dziwne dialogi” jako źródła potencjalnej osobistej i wspólnotowej transformacji i zaprasza do takiego dialogu. Rozprawa zbudowana jest wokół czterech pór roku klimatu okołobiegunowego. Każdy rozdział reprezentuje inny wymiar procesu transformacji. Każdy z nich ma własną rolę i cel, ale żaden nie może istnieć bez pozostałych. Czytelnik może podążać za procesem rozpoczynając od dowolnej pory roku. Wyłoniona organicznie kolista struktura oferuje czytelnikowi możliwość odczucia temp i rytmów pisania, przy możliwie indywidualnym doświadczeniu całości. Praca zaprasza czytelnika do porzucenia potrzeby natychmiastowego tworzenia znaczeń i wyciągania wniosków, aby wpłynąć na jego serce, ciało i duszę. Rozprawa jest relacją autoetnograficzną, która ma na celu dać czytelnikowi transformacyjne doświadczenie dochodzenia do, przechodzenia i wychodzenia z procesu dociekania.

Abstract: Cosmological and astrophysical observations suggest that 85% of the total matter of the Universe is made of Dark Matter (DM). However, its nature remains one of the most challenging and fundamental open questions of particle physics. Assuming particle DM, this exotic form of matter cannot consist of Standard Model (SM) particles. Many models have been developed to attempt unraveling the nature of DM such as Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs), the most favored particle candidates. WIMP annihilations and decay could produce SM particles which in turn hadronize and decay to give SM secondaries such as high energy γ rays. In the framework of indirect DM search, observations of promising targets are used to search for signatures of DM annihilation. Among these, the dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSphs) are commonly favored owing to their expected high DM content and negligible astrophysical background. In this work, we present the very first combination of 20 dSph observations, performed by the Fermi-LAT, HAWC, H.E.S.S., MAGIC, and VERITAS collaborations in order to maximize the sensitivity of DM searches and improve the current results. We use a joint maximum likelihood approach combining each experiment’s individual analysis to derive more constraining upper limits on the WIMP DM self-annihilation cross-section as a function of DM particle mass. We present new DM constraints over the widest mass range ever reported, extending from 5 GeV to 100 TeV thanks to the combination of these five different γ-ray instruments., PoS: Proceedings of Science, 395, ISSN:1824-8039, Proceedings of 37th International Cosmic Ray Conference

39. Genetic and other biological factors behind spontaneous preterm birth:genetics, transcriptomics and proteomics of human spontaneous preterm delivery

Abstract: Spontaneous preterm birth (SPTB) is the leading cause of neonatal death and morbidity worldwide. Certain risk factors predispose infants to SPTB, but over half of SPTBs occur in pregnancies where there is no identifiable risk factor. Previous studies have suggested that SPTB has a genetic background and that both maternal and fetal genomes contribute to its likelihood. Other biological factors are also associated with SPTB, but knowledge about these factors is limited. One of the key tissues involved in parturition is the placenta. The aim of this study was to determine the biological factors behind predisposition to SPTB using hypothesis-free methods. A genome-wide association study (GWAS) was used to investigate fetal genetic variants that predispose infants to SPTB. The results suggest that a variant of slit guidance ligand 2 (SLIT2) is associated with SPTB. Additionally, the study showed that SLIT2 and its receptor roundabout guidance receptor 1 (ROBO1) are expressed in placenta, and their mRNA levels are higher in SPTB placentas compared to term controls. A knockdown experiment showed that Slit–Robo signaling affects genes involved in inflammation in placental cells. In a comparative proteomics screen of SPTB, spontaneous term, and elective preterm placentas, proteins for which particular levels are associated with SPTB were identified. Rare and potentially damaging variants of the genes coding for the identified proteins were sought from whole exome sequencing (WES) data. This yielded a candidate, alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT), which is encoded by SERPINA1. Experiments revealed that SERPINA1 affects actin cytoskeleton, Slit–Robo signaling, and extracellular matrix organization in the placenta. Some heat shock proteins (HSPs) are associated with pregnancy complications. Thus, genetic and genomic datasets were used to identify SPTB-predisposing HSPs from the mother, infant, and placenta. In addition, the association of nuclear hormone receptors (NRs) with S, Tiivistelmä Spontaani ennenaikainen synnytys on vastasyntyneiden yleisin kuolinsyy ja sairauksille altistava tekijä.

40. Treading gently between the wor(l)ds:autoethnographically exploring 'strange dialogues' within the modern university

Abstract: This autoethnographic dissertation is a story of a transformational journey, initiated by necessity to critically engage with questions of power/knowledge relationships in international higher education in Finland. As a student/teacher/researcher in international study programs, I found it compelling to think with (de)coloniality/modernity to attend to my complicities and responsibilities in this context, so imbued with dilemmas of epistemic injustice. Living autoethnographic inquiry with this lens became also a matter of reclaiming the unified body-mind-spirit as a legitimate site and mode of knowing/being. While autoethnography as a process emerged organically from my academic experiences, as a product, it emerged from the process of writing from the body as inquiry, buttressed by three important encounters: butoh; the multidisciplinary artist Hanna Ojala; and Martin Buber’s philosophy of dialogue. These modes of knowing/being, each sprouting from a different timespace, have come to permeate my educational and researcher praxis, pointing towards holistically nurturing bodymindspirit capacities to encounter uncertainty and the unknown, enabling unlearning in order to imagine alternative forms of living. They intersect and enter dialogues with each other throughout the story, creating spaces for decolonial gestures within and beyond academia. This performative dissertation—a decolonial gesture—is an account of these strange dialogues and their potential for personal and community transformation. It is an invitation to such dialogue. The dissertation is structured around the four seasons of the subarctic climate. Each season-chapter is an entry point to a different dimension of the transformational process. Each chapter has its own role and focus, but none can exist without the others. The reader can follow the cycle beginning with any season. This circular structure emerged organically and offers the reader a sense of the tempos and rhythms that drove the i, Tiivistelmä Tämä autoetnografinen väitöskirja on tarina muutosmatkasta, joka sai alkunsa tarpeesta puuttua kriittisesti valta- ja tietosuhteisiin liittyviin kysymyksiin kansainvälisessä korkeakouluopetuksessa Suomessa.

Abstract: Background: Observational findings for high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-mediated cholesterol efflux capacity (HDL-CEC) and coronary heart disease (CHD) appear inconsistent, and knowledge of the genetic architecture of HDL-CEC is limited. Objectives: A large-scale observational study on the associations of HDL-CEC and other HDL-related measures with CHD and the largest genome-wide association study (GWAS) of HDL-CEC. Participants/Methods: Six independent cohorts were included with follow-up data for 14,438 participants to investigate the associations of HDL-related measures with incident CHD (1,570 events). The GWAS of HDL-CEC was carried out in 20,372 participants. Results: HDL-CEC did not associate with CHD when adjusted for traditional risk factors and HDL cholesterol (HDL-C). In contradiction, almost all HDL-related concentration measures associated consistently with CHD after corresponding adjustments. There were no genetic loci associated with HDL-CEC independent of HDL-C and triglycerides. Conclusions: HDL-CEC is not unequivocally associated with CHD in contrast to HDL-C, apolipoprotein A-I, and most of the HDL subclass particle concentrations.

Abstract: The blazar Mrk421 (redshift z=0.031) is one of the brightest and closest BL Lac type objects, making it an ideal target to probe blazar physics. We report on an extensive multi-wavelength observing campaign in 2017, during which the intra-band correlation patterns show some disparity and complex behaviours. Observations from several instruments are used to achieve an optimal temporal coverage from radio to TeV energies. In particular, four multi-hour NuSTAR observations organised simultaneously with MAGIC allow to obtain a precise measurement of the falling segments of the two spectral components. A detailed investigation of the very-high-energy (VHE; >100 GeV) versus X-ray flux correlation is performed, by binning the data into several sub-energy bands. A positively correlated variability is observed, but the correlation characteristics change substantially across the various bands probed. Furthermore, during the simultaneous MAGIC and NuSTAR observations a clear change of the Compton dominance is detected without a simultaneous change in the synchrotron regime, indicating "orphan gamma-ray activity". We also investigate an intriguing bright flare at VHE without a substantial flux increase in the X-rays. Within a leptonic scenario, this behaviour is best explained by the appearance of a second population of highly-energetic electrons spanning a narrow range of energies. Finally, our multi-wavelength correlation study also reveals an anti-correlation between the UV/optical and X-ray bands at a significance level above 3 sigma.

Abstract: T.M. Collaboration, V.A. Acciari, S. Ansoldi et al., Milky Way dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSphs) are among the best candidates to search for signals of dark matter annihilation with Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes, given their high mass-to-light ratios and the fact that they are free of astrophysical gamma-ray emitting sources. Since 2011, MAGIC has performed a multi-year observation program in search for Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) in dSphs. Results on the observations of Segue 1 and Ursa Major II dSphs have already been published and include some of the most stringent upper limits (ULs) on the velocity- averaged cross-section ⟨σannv⟩ of WIMP annihilation from observations of dSphs. In this work, we report on the analyses of 52.1 h of data of Draco dSph and 49.5 h of Coma Berenices dSph observed with the MAGIC telescopes in 2018 and in 2019 respectively. No hint of a signal has been detected from either of these targets and new constraints on the ⟨σannv⟩ of WIMP candidates have been derived. In order to improve the sensitivity of the search and reduce the effect of the systematic uncertainties due to the J-factor estimates, we have combined the data of all dSphs observed with the MAGIC telescopes. Using 354.3 h of dSphs good quality data, 95% CL ULs on ⟨σannv⟩ have been obtained for 9 annihilation channels. For most of the channels, these results reach values of the order of 10−24 cm3/s at ∼1 TeV and are the most stringent limits obtained with the MAGIC telescopes so far., he financial support of the German BMBF, MPG and HGF; the Italian INFN and INAF; the Swiss National Fund SNF; the ERDF under the Spanish Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación (MICINN) (PID2019-104114RB-C31, PID2019-104114RB-C32, PID2019-104114RB-C33, PID2019-105510GB-C31, PID2019-107847RB-C41, PID2019-107847RB-C42, PID2019-107988GB-C22); the Indian Department of Atomic Energy; the Japanese ICRR, the University of Tokyo, JSPS, and MEXT; the Bulgarian Ministry of Education and Science, National RI Roadmap Project DO1-400/18.12.2020 and the Academy of Finland grant nr. 320045 is gratefully acknowledged.

Subjects: Gamma ray, binaries
Abstract: The results of gamma-ray observations of the binary system HESS J0632 + 057 collected during 450 hr over 15 yr, between 2004 and 2019, are presented. Data taken with the atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes H.E.S.S., MAGIC, and VERITAS at energies above 350 GeV were used together with observations at X-ray energies obtained with Swift-XRT, Chandra, XMM-Newton, NuSTAR, and Suzaku. Some of these observations were accompanied by measurements of the H alpha emission line. A significant detection of the modulation of the very high-energy gamma-ray fluxes with a period of 316.7 +/- 4.4 days is reported, consistent with the period of 317.3 +/- 0.7 days obtained with a refined analysis of X-ray data. The analysis of data from four orbital cycles with dense observational coverage reveals short-timescale variability, with flux-decay timescales of less than 20 days at very high energies. Flux variations observed over a timescale of several years indicate orbit-to-orbit variability. The analysis confirms the previously reported correlation of X-ray and gamma-ray emission from the system at very high significance, but cannot find any correlation of optical H alpha parameters with fluxes at X-ray or gamma-ray energies in simultaneous observations. The key finding is that the emission of HESS J0632 + 057 in the X-ray and gamma-ray energy bands is highly variable on different timescales. The ratio of gamma-ray to X-ray flux shows the equality or even dominance of the gamma-ray energy range. This wealth of new data is interpreted taking into account the insufficient knowledge of the ephemeris of the system, and discussed in the context of results reported on other gamma-ray binary systems.

Abstract: Acciari, V. A., et al. (MAGIC Collaboration), We report a characterization of the multiband flux variability and correlations of the nearby (z = 0.031) blazar Markarian 421 (Mrk 421) using data from Metsähovi, Swift, Fermi-LAT, MAGIC, FACT, and other collaborations and instruments from 2014 November till 2016 June. Mrk 421 did not show any prominent flaring activity, but exhibited periods of historically low activity above 1 TeV (F>1 TeV < 1.7 × 10-12 ph cm-2 s-1) and in the 2-10 keV (X-ray) band (F 2-10, keV< 3.6× 10-11 erg cm-2 s-1), during which the Swift-BAT data suggest an additional spectral component beyond the regular synchrotron emission. The highest flux variability occurs in X-rays and very high-energy (E > 0.1 TeV) γ-rays, which, despite the low activity, show a significant positive correlation with no time lag. The HRkeV and HRTeV show the harder-when-brighter trend observed in many blazars, but the trend flattens at the highest fluxes, which suggests a change in the processes dominating the blazar variability. Enlarging our data set with data from years 2007 to 2014, we measured a positive correlation between the optical and the GeV emission over a range of about 60 d centred at time lag zero, and a positive correlation between the optical/GeV and the radio emission over a range of about 60 d centred at a time lag of 43+9-6 d. This observation is consistent with the radio-bright zone being located about 0.2 parsec downstream from the optical/GeV emission regions of the jet. The flux distributions are better described with a lognormal function in most of the energy bands probed, indicating that the variability in Mrk 421 is likely produced by a multiplicative process., The financial support of the German BMBF and MPG; the Italian INFN and INAF; the Swiss National Fund SNF; the ERDF under the Spanish MINECO (FPA2017-87859-P, FPA2017-85668-P, FPA2017-82729-C6-2-R, FPA2017-82729-C6-6-R, FPA2017-82729-C6-5-R, AYA2015-71042-P, AYA2016-76012-C3-1-P, ESP2017-87055-C2-2-P, FPA2017-90566-REDC); the Indian Department of Atomic Energy; the Japanese ICRR, the University of Tokyo, JSPS, and MEXT; the Bulgarian Ministry of Education and Science, National RI Roadmap Project DO1-268/16.12.2019 and the Academy of Finland grant nr. 320045 is gratefully acknowledged.
