SHADOWS CAST BY A WARP IN THE HD 142527 PROTOPLANETARY DISK
Detailed observations of gaps in protoplanetary disks have revealed structures that drive current research on circumstellar disks. One such feature is the two intensity nulls seen along the outer disk of the HD 142527 system, which are particularly well traced in polarized differential imaging. Here we propose that these are shadows cast by the inner disk. The inner and outer disk are thick, in terms of the unit-opacity surface in the H band, so that the shape and orientation of the shadows inform on the three-dimensional structure of the system. Radiative transfer predictions on a parametric disk model allow us to conclude that the relative inclination between the inner and outer disks is 70° ± 5°. This finding taps the potential of high-contrast imaging of circumstellar disks, and bears consequences on the gas dynamics of gapped disks, as well as on the physical conditions in the shadowed regions.
The Red Radio Ring: a gravitationally lensed hyperluminous infrared radio galaxy at z = 2.553 discovered through the citizen science project Space Warps
We report the discovery of a gravitationally lensed hyperluminous infrared galaxy (intrinsic LIR ≈ 10 13 L ⊙ ) with strong radio emission (intrinsic L 1.4GHz ≈ 10 25 WHz -1 ) at z = 2.553. The source was identified in the citizen science project SPACEWARPS through the visual inspection of tens of thousands of iJK s colour composite images of Luminous Red Galaxies (LRGs), groups and clusters of galaxies and quasars. Appearing as a partial Einstein ring (r e ≈ 3") around an LRG at z = 0.2, the galaxy is extremely bright in the sub-millimetre for a cosmological source, with the thermal dust emission approaching 1 Jy at peak. The redshift of the lensed galaxy is determined through the detection of the CO(3→2) molecular emission line with the Large Millimetre Telescope’s Redshift Search Receiver and through [O III] and Hα line detections in the near-infrared from Subaru/IRCS. We have resolved the radio emission with high resolution (300–400mas) eMERLIN L-band and VLA C-band imaging. These observations are used in combination with the near-infrared imaging to construct a lens model, which indicates a lensing magnification of μ ≈ 10. The source reconstruction appears to support a radio morphology comprised of a compact (< 250 pc) core and more extended component, perhaps indicative of an active nucleus and jet or lobe.

Three-Dimensional Particle-in-Cell Analysis of Mechanical Design Tolerances of the Scorpius Injector With Warp
Here, this article examines the mechanical design tolerances for the Scorpius injector using a 3-D particle-in-cell (PIC) code. In order to meet its objective as a high-fidelity, multipulse flash X-ray source, the accelerator has requirements for the electron beam in order to minimize the spot size of the beam focused onto a foil target to create high fluence X-rays at energies greater than 10 MeV. The requirements for alignment of the cathode, anode beam pipe, focusing solenoids, and transport solenoids specified using Trak and AMBER are independently verified using a 3-D electrostatic/magnetostatic model of the Scorpius injector, including transverse magnetic field errors that arise from mechanical alignment errors. It is predicted that the injector will meet the performance requirements for radiographic operation and has a design margin to correct for potentially unforeseen operating conditions.
Trait covariance: the functional warp of plant diversity?
In 300 BC Ancient Greece, Theophrastus was one of the first to organize the diversity of plant life on Earth into categories of function and use (Theophrastus, 1916). Currently, scientists are still working to simplify the vast array of plant species and forms in order to distill general features of plant function, structure, and strategy.

Response to FESAC survey, non-fusion connections to Fusion Energy Sciences. Applications of the FES-supported beam and plasma simulation code, Warp
The Fusion Energy Sciences Advisory Committee’s subcommittee on non-fusion applications (FESAC NFA) is conducting a survey to obtain information from the fusion community about non-fusion work that has resulted from their DOE-funded fusion research. The subcommittee has requested that members of the community describe recent developments connected to the activities of the DOE Office of Fusion Energy Sciences. Two questions in particular were posed by the subcommittee. This document contains the authors’ responses to those questions.
Discovering Strong Gravitational Lenses in the Dark Energy Survey with Interactive Machine Learning and Crowd-sourced Inspection with Space Warps
We conduct a search for strong gravitational lenses in the Dark Energy Survey (DES) Year 6 imaging data. We implement a pre-trained Vision Transformer (ViT) for our machine learning (ML) architecture and adopt interactive machine learning to construct a training sample with multiple classes to address common types of false positives. Our ML model reduces ∼236 million DES cutout images to 22,564 targets of interest, including ∼85% of previously reported galaxy–galaxy lens candidates discovered in DES. These targets were visually inspected by citizen scientists, who ruled out ∼90% as false positives. Of the remaining 2618 candidates, 149 were expert-classified as “definite” lenses and 516 as “probable” lenses, for a total of 665 systems, with 147 of these candidates being newly identified. Additionally, we trained a second ViT to find double-source plane lens systems, finding at least one double-source system. Our main ViT excels at identifying galaxy–galaxy lenses, consistently assigning high scores to candidates with high expert assessments. The top 800 ViT-scored images include ∼100 of our “definite” lens candidates. This selection is an order of magnitude higher in purity than previous convolutional neural-network-based lens searches and demonstrates the feasibility of applying our methodology for discovering large samples of lenses in future surveys.
Radius stabilization and dark matter with a bulk Higgs in warped extra dimension
In this study, we employ an SU(2) bulk Higgs doublet as the stabilization field in the Randall–Sundrum model with appropriate bulk and brane-localized potentials. The gauge hierarchy problem can be solved for an exponentially IR-localized Higgs background field with mild values of fundamental parameters of the 5D theory. We consider an IR–UV–IR background geometry with the 5D SM fields in the bulk such that all the fields have even and odd towers of KK-modes. The zero-mode 4D effective theory contains all the SM fields plus a stable scalar, which serves as a dark matter candidate.

No-warp potted circuits
Sponge inserts compensate for potting-compound expansion and relieve thermal stresses on circuit boards. Technique quality of production runs on PC boards intended for applications in environments less severe than those for aerospace equipment. Pads reduce weight of modules because they weigh far less than potting compound they displace.
