Blazar flares from plasma blobs crossing the broad-line region

Sebastien Le Bihan, Anton Dmytriiev, Andreas Zech ยท 2026

The blazar 3C 279 is well known for its rapid and large-amplitude variability. On 20 December 2013, the source exhibited an orphan {\gamma}-ray flare characterized by a flux-doubling timescale of a feโ€ฆ

Quarkonium $p_{\rm T}$ spectra in heavy--ion collisions at LHC energies within a hydrodynamic core--corona framework

Biswarup Paul ยท 2026

We present a systematic study of the transverse momentum ($p_{\rm T}$) spectra of charmonium (J/$\psi$, $\psi(2S)$) and bottomonium ($\Upsilon(nS)$) states in Pb-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}} = โ€ฆ

Iron He-triplet signatures of shocks in the hottest galaxy clusters. Z/W line ratio, line broadening, and electron-ion temperature equilibration

Eugene Churazov, Yuri Ralchenko, Ildar I. Khabibullin, John C. Raymond, Annie Heinrich, Irina Zhuravleva, Reinout J. van Weeren, Congyao Zhang ยท 2026

A merger of clusters naturally drives shocks with Mach number $\mathscr{M}\lesssim 3$ in the intra-cluster medium (ICM). This process creates several distinct signatures, including sharp surface brighโ€ฆ

Light-Cone Structure of Propagation of Entanglement

Israel Michael Sigal ยท 2026

For a wide class of bipartite systems with localized couplings, we establish existence of an effective light-cone for propagation of entanglement. This result yields a hard lower bound on the time it โ€ฆ
