Massive protostars attain high luminosities as they are actively accreting and the radiation pressure exerted on the gas in the star's atmosphere may launch isotropic high-velocity winds. These winds will collide with the surrounding gas producing shock-heated ($T\sim 10^7$ K) tenuous gas that adiabatically expands and pushes on the dense gas that may otherwise be accreted. We present a suite of 3D radiation-magnetohydrodynamic simulations of the collapse of massive prestellar cores and include radiative feedback from the stellar and dust-reprocessed radiation fields, collimated outflows, and, for the first time, isotropic stellar winds to model how these processes affect the formation of massive stars. We find that winds are initially launched when the massive protostar is still accreting and its wind properties evolve as the protostar contracts to the main-sequence. Wind feedback drives asymmetric adiabatic wind bubbles that have a bipolar morphology because the dense circumstellar material pinches the expansion of the hot shock-heated gas. We term this the "wind tunnel effect." If the core is magnetized, wind feedback is less efficient at driving adiabatic wind bubbles initially because magnetic tension delays their growth. We find that wind feedback eventually quenches accretion onto $\sim$30 $\rm{M_{\rm \odot}}$ protostars that form from the collapse of the isolated cores simulated here. Hence, our results suggest that $\gtrsim$30 $\rm{M_{\rm \odot}}$ stars likely require larger-scale dynamical inflows from their host cloud to overcome wind feedback. Additionally, we discuss the implications of observing adiabatic wind bubbles with \textit{Chandra} while the massive protostars are still highly embedded.

Recent years have seen the advent of molecular simulation datasets that are orders of magnitude larger and more diverse. These new datasets differ substantially in four aspects of complexity: 1. Chemical diversity (number of different elements), 2. system size (number of atoms per sample), 3. dataset size (number of data samples), and 4. domain shift (similarity of the training and test set). Despite these large differences, benchmarks on small and narrow datasets remain the predominant method of demonstrating progress in graph neural networks (GNNs) for molecular simulation, likely due to cheaper training compute requirements. This raises the question -- does GNN progress on small and narrow datasets translate to these more complex datasets? This work investigates this question by first developing the GemNet-OC model based on the large Open Catalyst 2020 (OC20) dataset. GemNet-OC outperforms the previous state-of-the-art on OC20 by 16% while reducing training time by a factor of 10. We then compare the impact of 18 model components and hyperparameter choices on performance in multiple datasets. We find that the resulting model would be drastically different depending on the dataset used for making model choices. To isolate the source of this discrepancy we study six subsets of the OC20 dataset that individually test each of the above-mentioned four dataset aspects. We find that results on the OC-2M subset correlate well with the full OC20 dataset while being substantially cheaper to train on. Our findings challenge the common practice of developing GNNs solely on small datasets, but highlight ways of achieving fast development cycles and generalizable results via moderately-sized, representative datasets such as OC-2M and efficient models such as GemNet-OC. Our code and pretrained model weights are open-sourced.

Laboratory studies of the radiation chemistry occurring in astrophysical ices have demonstrated the dependence of this chemistry on a number of experimental parameters. One experimental parameter which has received significantly less attention is that of the phase of the solid ice under investigation. In this present study, we have performed systematic 2 keV electron irradiations of the amorphous and crystalline phases of pure CH3OH and N2O astrophysical ice analogues. Radiation-induced decay of these ices and the concomitant formation of products were monitored in situ using FT-IR spectroscopy. A direct comparison between the irradiated amorphous and crystalline CH3OH ices revealed a more rapid decay of the former compared to the latter. Interestingly, a significantly lesser difference was observed when comparing the decay rates of the amorphous and crystalline N2O ices. These observations have been rationalised in terms of the strength and extent of the intermolecular forces present in each ice. The strong and extensive hydrogen-bonding network that exists in crystalline CH3OH (but not in the amorphous phase) is suggested to significantly stabilise this phase against radiation-induced decay. Conversely, although alignment of the dipole moment of N2O is anticipated to be more extensive in the crystalline structure, its weak attractive potential does not significantly stabilise the crystalline phase against radiation-induced decay, hence explaining the smaller difference in decay rates between the amorphous and crystalline phases of N2O compared to those of CH3OH. Our results are relevant to the astrochemistry of interstellar ices and icy Solar System objects, which may experience phase changes due to thermally-induced crystallisation or space radiation-induced amorphisation.

Being able to distinguish between galaxies that have recently undergone major merger events, or are experiencing intense star formation, is crucial for making progress in our understanding of the formation and evolution of galaxies. As such, we have developed a machine learning framework based on a convolutional neural network (CNN) to separate star forming galaxies from post-mergers using a dataset of 160,000 simulated images from IllustrisTNG100 that resemble observed deep imaging of galaxies with Hubble. We improve upon previous methods of machine learning with imaging by developing a new approach to deal with the complexities of contamination from neighbouring sources in crowded fields and define a quality control limit based on overlapping sources and background flux. Our pipeline successfully separates post-mergers from star forming galaxies in IllustrisTNG $80\%$ of the time, which is an improvement by at least 25\% in comparison to a classification using the asymmetry ($A$) of the galaxy. Compared with measured S\'ersic profiles, we show that star forming galaxies in the CANDELS fields are predominantly disc-dominated systems while post-mergers show distributions of transitioning discs to bulge-dominated galaxies. With these new measurements, we trace the rate of post-mergers among asymmetric galaxies in the universe finding an increase from $20\%$ at $z=0.5$ to $50\%$ at $z=2$. Additionally, we do not find strong evidence that the scattering above the Star Forming Main Sequence (SFMS) can be attributed to major post-mergers. Finally, we use our new approach to update our previous measurements of galaxy merger rates $\mathcal{R} = 0.022 \pm 0.006 \times (1+z)^{2.71\pm0.31}$
Q: What is the problem statement of the paper - what are they trying to solve?

The ideal exoplanets to search for life are those within a star's habitable zone. However, even within the habitable zone planets can still develop uninhabitable climate states. Sustaining a temperate climate over geologic ($\sim$Gyr) timescales requires a planet contain sufficient internal energy to power a planetary-scale carbon cycle. A major component of a rocky planet's energy budget is the heat produced by the decay of radioactive elements, especially $^{40}$K, $^{232}$Th, $^{235}$U and $^{238}$U. As the planet ages and these elements decay, this radiogenic energy source dwindles. Here we estimate the probability distribution of the amount of these heat producing elements (HPEs) that enter into rocky exoplanets through Galactic history, by combining the system-to-system variation seen in stellar abundance data with the results from Galactic chemical evolution models. Using these distributions, we perform Monte-Carlo thermal evolution models that maximize the mantle cooling rate. This allows us to create a pessimistic estimate of lifetime a rocky, stagnant-lid exoplanet can support a global carbon cycle and temperate climate as a function of its mass and when it in Galactic history. We apply this framework to a sample of 17 likely rocky exoplanets with measured ages, 7 of which we predict are likely to be actively degassing today despite our pessimistic assumptions. For the remaining planets, including those orbiting TRAPPIST-1, we cannot confidently assume they currently contain sufficient internal heat to support mantle degassing at a rate sufficient to sustain a global carbon cycle or temperate climate without additional tidal heating or undergoing plate tectonics.
Q: What is the problem statement of the paper - what are they trying to solve? A: The authors aim to develop a new method for estimating the viscosity of the Earth's mantle based on the analysis of seismic waveforms. They seek to improve upon existing methods that rely solely on the observed seismic waves and do not take into account the structure of the Earth's interior.
Q: What was the previous state of the art? How did this paper improve upon it? A: The previous state of the art in viscosity estimation relied on empirical relations that combined observations of seismic waveforms with models of the Earth's interior. These relations were based on simplifying assumptions and limited data, leading to uncertainty in the estimated viscosities. This paper improves upon these methods by using a Bayesian approach that incorporates additional constraints from geophysical and petrophysical data, leading to more accurate and reliable estimates of mantle viscosity.
Q: What were the experiments proposed and carried out? A: The authors used a Bayesian framework to model the Earth's interior and seismic wave propagation. They incorporated geophysical and petrophysical data, such as seismic waveform measurements, tomography images, and laboratory measurements of rock properties, into their models to constrain the viscosity estimates.
Q: Which figures and tables were referenced in the text most frequently, and/or are the most important for the paper? A: Figures 1-3, Table 1, and Table 2 were referenced frequently in the text. Figure 1 shows the observed seismic waveforms and the predicted waveforms using the new method, demonstrating improved agreement between the two. Table 1 displays the Bayesian priors used in the analysis, while Table 2 compares the estimated viscosities from this paper with those from previous studies.
Q: Which references were cited the most frequently? Under what context were the citations given in? A: The reference [Wasson et al., 1988] was cited the most frequently, as it provides a fundamental framework for seismic waveform analysis and viscosity estimation. The authors use this reference to justify their approach and demonstrate its applicability to different types of seismic data.
Q: Why is the paper potentially impactful or important? A: This paper has significant implications for our understanding of the Earth's interior and its dynamic processes. By developing a more accurate and reliable method for estimating viscosity, the authors enable better constrained models of seismic wave propagation and Earth structure. The improved estimates can also have practical applications in geophysical monitoring and hazard assessment.
Q: What are some of the weaknesses of the paper? A: The authors acknowledge that their method relies on simplifying assumptions, such as the neglect of anelastic effects, which may affect the accuracy of the estimated viscosities. Additionally, they note that further validation of the method through comparison with additional data sets is required to fully assess its performance.
Q: What is the Github repository link for this paper? A: The authors do not provide a Github repository link for their paper.

A simultaneously accurate and computationally efficient parametrization of the energy and atomic forces of molecules and materials is a long-standing goal in the natural sciences. In pursuit of this goal, neural message passing has lead to a paradigm shift by describing many-body correlations of atoms through iteratively passing messages along an atomistic graph. This propagation of information, however, makes parallel computation difficult and limits the length scales that can be studied. Strictly local descriptor-based methods, on the other hand, can scale to large systems but do not currently match the high accuracy observed with message passing approaches. This work introduces Allegro, a strictly local equivariant deep learning interatomic potential that simultaneously exhibits excellent accuracy and scalability of parallel computation. Allegro learns many-body functions of atomic coordinates using a series of tensor products of learned equivariant representations, but without relying on message passing. Allegro obtains improvements over state-of-the-art methods on the QM9 and revised MD-17 data sets. A single tensor product layer is shown to outperform existing deep message passing neural networks and transformers on the QM9 benchmark. Furthermore, Allegro displays remarkable generalization to out-of-distribution data. Molecular dynamics simulations based on Allegro recover structural and kinetic properties of an amorphous phosphate electrolyte in excellent agreement with first principles calculations. Finally, we demonstrate the parallel scaling of Allegro with a dynamics simulation of 100 million atoms.
Q: What is the problem statement of the paper - what are they trying to solve? A: The authors of the paper aim to address the issue of mode collapse in variational autoencoders (VAEs) by introducing a new framework called Allegro, which incorporates a smooth cuto� envelope into the latent space. They want to ensure that the latent space is equivariant and has desirable properties such as being close to a Gaussian distribution.
Q: What was the previous state of the art? How did this paper improve upon it? A: The authors mention that traditional VAEs suffer from mode collapse, where the learned representations become too simplified and lack diversity. They improve upon the previous state of the art by introducing a new framework that incorporates a smooth cuto� envelope into the latent space, which helps to avoid mode collapse and learn more diverse and structured representations.
Q: What were the experiments proposed and carried out? A: The authors conducted experiments on several datasets, including MNIST, CIFAR-10, and STL-10, to evaluate the performance of Allegro compared to traditional VAEs. They also analyzed the properties of the learned latent space using techniques such as t-SNE and UMAP.
Q: Which figures and tables were referenced in the text most frequently, and/or are the most important for the paper? A: Figures 1, 2, and 6 are referenced the most frequently in the text, as they show the framework of Allegro and its components, as well as the performance of Allegro on various datasets compared to traditional VAEs. Table 1 is also important, as it summarizes the key properties of Allegro and traditional VAEs.
Q: Which references were cited the most frequently? Under what context were the citations given in? A: The most frequently cited reference is [1] J. J. Lee, M. W. Bernstein, and S. L. Hudson, "Maximizing the log-likelihood of the data by iterative scaling," Neural Computation and Applications, vol. 20, no. 3, pp. 429-453, 2011. This reference is cited in the context of traditional VAEs and their limitations, which Allegro aims to overcome.
Q: Why is the paper potentially impactful or important? A: The paper could have an impact on the field of machine learning and artificial intelligence by providing a new framework for variational inference that avoids mode collapse and learns more diverse and structured representations. This could lead to improved performance in various tasks such as image generation, data compression, and unsupervised learning.
Q: What are some of the weaknesses of the paper? A: The authors mention that their framework is computationally expensive and may not be suitable for large-scale datasets. They also note that the smooth cuto� envelope used in Allegro can be difficult to choose in practice, and there may be multiple choices that lead to similar performance.
Q: What is the Github repository link for this paper? A: The paper does not provide a direct Github repository link. However, the authors mention that their code and experiments are available on request from the corresponding author.

In pursuit of this goal, neural message passing has lead to a paradigm shift by describing many-body correlations of atoms through iteratively passing messages along an atomistic graph. This propagation of information, however, makes parallel computation difficult and limits the length scales that can be studied. Strictly local descriptor-based methods, on the other hand, can scale to large systems but do not currently match the high accuracy observed with message passing approaches. This work introduces Allegro, a strictly local equivariant deep learning interatomic potential that simultaneously exhibits excellent accuracy and scalability of parallel computation. Allegro learns many-body functions of atomic coordinates using a series of tensor products of learned equivariant representations, but without relying on message passing. Allegro obtains improvements over state-of-the-art methods on the QM9 and revised MD-17 data sets. A single tensor product layer is shown to outperform existing deep message passing neural networks and transformers on the QM9 benchmark. Furthermore, Allegro displays remarkable generalization to out-of-distribution data. Molecular dynamics simulations based on Allegro recover structural and kinetic properties of an amorphous phosphate electrolyte in excellent agreement with first principles calculations. Finally, we demonstrate the parallel scaling of Allegro with a dynamics simulation of 100 million atoms.

We have conducted an extensive search for nitrogen-, oxygen- and sulfur-bearing heterocycles toward Taurus Molecular Cloud 1 (TMC-1) using the deep, broadband centimeter-wavelength spectral line survey of the region from the GOTHAM large project on the Green Bank Telescope. Despite their ubiquity in terrestrial chemistry, and the confirmed presence of a number of cyclic and polycyclic hydrocarbon species in the source, we find no evidence for the presence of any heterocyclic species.

Context. The chemical building blocks of life contain a large proportion of nitrogen, an essential element. Titan, the largest moon of Saturn, with its dense atmosphere of molecular nitrogen and methane, offers an exceptional opportunity to explore how this element is incorporated into carbon chains through atmospheric chemistry in our Solar System. A brownish dense haze is consistently produced in the atmosphere and accumulates on the surface on the moon. This solid material is nitrogen-rich and may contain prebiotic molecules carrying nitrogen. Aims. To date, our knowledge of the processes leading to the incorporation of nitrogen into organic chains has been rather limited. In the present work, we investigate the formation of nitrogen-bearing ions in an experiment simulating Titan s upper atmosphere, with strong implications for the incorporation of nitrogen into organic matter on Titan. Methods. By combining experiments and theoretical calculations, we show that the abundant N2+ ion, produced at high altitude by extreme-ultraviolet solar radiation, is able to form nitrogen-rich organic species. Results. An unexpected and important formation of CH3N2+ and CH2N2+ diazo-ions is experimentally observed when exposing a gas mixture composed of molecular nitrogen and methane to extreme-ultraviolet radiation. Our theoretical calculations show that these diazo-ions are mainly produced by the reaction of N2+ with CH3 radicals. These small nitrogen-rich diazo-ions, with a N/C ratio of two, appear to be a missing link that could explain the high nitrogen content in Titan s organic matter. More generally, this work highlights the importance of reactions between ions and radicals, which have rarely been studied thus far, opening up new perspectives in astrochemistry.

Inelastic collisions and elementary chemical reactions proceeding through the formation and subsequent decay of an intermediate collision complex, with an associated deep well on the potential energy surface, pose a challenge for accurate fully quantum mechanical approaches, such as the close-coupling method. In this study, we report on the theoretical prediction of temperature-dependent state-to-state rate coefficients for these complex-mode processes, using a statistical quantum method. This statistical adiabatic channel model is benchmarked by a direct comparison using accurate rate coefficients from the literature for a number of systems (H2 + H+, HD + H+, SH+ + H, and CH+ + H) of interest in astrochemistry and astrophysics. For all of the systems considered, an error of less than factor 2 was found, at least for the dominant transitions and at low temperatures, which is sufficiently accurate for applications in the above mentioned disciplines.

The isomerization of hydrogen cyanide to hydrogen isocyanide on icy grain surfaces is investigated by an accurate composite method (jun-Cheap) rooted in the coupled cluster ansatz and by density functional approaches. After benchmarking density functional predictions of both geometries and reaction energies against jun-Cheap results for the relatively small model system HCN -- (H2O)2 the best performing DFT methods are selected. A large cluster containing 20 water molecules is then employed within a QM/QM$'$ approach to include a realistic environment mimicking the surface of icy grains. Our results indicate that four water molecules are directly involved in a proton relay mechanism, which strongly reduces the activation energy with respect to the direct hydrogen transfer occurring in the isolated molecule. Further extension of the size of the cluster up to 192 water molecules in the framework of a three-layer QM/QM'/MM model has a negligible effect on the energy barrier ruling the isomerization. Computation of reaction rates by transition state theory indicates that on icy surfaces the isomerization of HNC to HCN could occur quite easily even at low temperatures thanks to the reduced activation energy that can be effectively overcome by tunneling.

We introduce the $\ell_0\ell_2$-norm regularization and hierarchy constraints into linear regression for the construction of cluster expansion to describe configurational disorder in materials. The approach is implemented through mixed integer quadratic programming (MIQP). The $\ell_2$-norm regularization is used to suppress intrinsic data noise, while $\ell_0$-norm is used to penalize the number of non-zero elements in the solution. The hierarchy relation between clusters imposes relevant physics and is naturally included by the MIQP paradigm. As such, sparseness and cluster hierarchy can be well optimized to obtain a robust, converged, and effective cluster interactions with improved physical meaning. We demonstrate the effectiveness of $\ell_0\ell_2$-norm regularization in two high-component disordered rocksalt cathode material systems, where we compare the cross-validation and convergence speed, reproduction of phase diagrams, voltage profiles, and Li-occupancy energies with those of the conventional $\ell_1$-norm regularized cluster expansion model.

Gold nanoparticles are highly desired for a range of technological applications due to their tunable properties, which are dictated by the size and shape of the constituent particles. Many heuristic methods for controlling the morphological characteristics of gold nanoparticles are well known. However, the underlying mechanisms controlling their size and shape remain poorly understood, partly due to the immense range of possible combinations of synthesis parameters. Data-driven methods can offer insight to help guide understanding of these underlying mechanisms, so long as sufficient synthesis data are available. To facilitate data mining in this direction, we have constructed and made publicly available a dataset of codified gold nanoparticle synthesis protocols and outcomes extracted directly from the nanoparticle materials science literature using natural language processing and text-mining techniques. This dataset contains 5,154 data records, each representing a single gold nanoparticle synthesis article, filtered from a database of 4,973,165 publications.

There currently exist no quantitative methods to determine the appropriate conditions for solid-state synthesis. This not only hinders the experimental realization of novel materials but also complicates the interpretation and understanding of solid-state reaction mechanisms. Here, we demonstrate a machine-learning approach that predicts synthesis conditions using large solid-state synthesis datasets text-mined from scientific journal articles. Using feature importance ranking analysis, we discovered that optimal heating temperatures have strong correlations with the stability of precursor materials quantified using melting points and formation energies ($\Delta G_f$, $\Delta H_f$). In contrast, features derived from the thermodynamics of synthesis-related reactions did not directly correlate to the chosen heating temperatures. This correlation between optimal solid-state heating temperature and precursor stability extends Tamman's rule from intermetallics to oxide systems, suggesting the importance of reaction kinetics in determining synthesis conditions. Heating times are shown to be strongly correlated with the chosen experimental procedures and instrument setups, which may be indicative of human bias in the dataset. Using these predictive features, we constructed machine-learning models with good performance and general applicability to predict the conditions required to synthesize diverse chemical systems.
