Astrophysical models to interpret the Pierre Auger Observatory data
Juan Manuel González, Andrej Filipčič, Jon Paul Lundquist, Shima Ujjani Shivashankara, Samo Stanič, Serguei Vorobiov, Danilo Zavrtanik, Marko Zavrtanik, 2025, published scientific conference contribution

Abstract: The Pierre Auger Observatory has measured the spectrum of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays with unprecedented precision, as well as the distribution of the depths of the maximum of the shower development in the atmosphere, which provide a reliable estimator of the mass composition. The measurements above 10[sup]17.8 eV can be interpreted assuming two populations of uniformly distributed sources, one with a soft spectrum dominating the flux below few EeV, and another one with a very hard spectrum dominating above that energy. When considering the presence of intense extragalactic magnetic fields between our Galaxy and the closest sources and a high-energy population with low spatial density, a magnetic horizon appears, suppressing the cosmic ray's flux at low-energies, which could explain the very hard spectrum observed at Earth. The distribution of arrival directions, which at energies above 32 EeV shows indications of a correlation with a population of starburst galaxies or the radio galaxy Centaurus A (Cen A), are also important to constrain the sources. It is shown that adding a fractional contribution from these sources of about 20% on top of an homogeneous background leads to an improvement of the model likelihood.

The flux of UHECRs along the supergalactic plane using Pierre Auger Observatory data
Armando Di Matteo, Andrej Filipčič, Jon Paul Lundquist, Shima Ujjani Shivashankara, Samo Stanič, Serguei Vorobiov, Danilo Zavrtanik, Marko Zavrtanik, 2025, published scientific conference contribution

Abstract: We use the latest dataset from the surface detector array of the Pierre Auger Observatory, with events detected up to 31 December 2022 and a total exposure of 135,000 km² sr yr, to search for possible excesses in the flux of the most energetic cosmic rays on an intermediate angular scale (top-hat radius 27°, based on our previous results) from regions along the supergalactic plane. We find no indication for any such excesses other than the previously reported one in the Centaurus region, with a post-trial significance around 3σ, which we find extends down to lower energies than previously studied. In particular, the field of view of our dataset overlaps both regions in the northern celestial hemisphere from which excesses of events have been reported by the Telescope Array. With our integral exposures over these regions comparable to the Telescope Array ones, we find no indication of any flux excesses from there, with event counts in good agreement with the expectations from an isotropic distribution.

Multi-messenger insights into ultra-high-energy cosmic rays from FR0 radio galaxies : emission spectrum, composition, and secondary photons and neutrinos
Jon Paul Lundquist, Serguei Vorobiov, Lukas Merten, Anita Reimer, Margot Boughelilba, Paolo Da Vela, Fabrizio Tavecchio, Giacomo Bonnoli, Chiara Righi, 2025, published scientific conference contribution

Abstract: Despite their low individual luminosity, Fanaroff-Riley Type 0 (FR0) radio galaxies have emerged as potentially significant contributors to the observed flux of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays (UHECRs, E≥10 EeV) due to their substantial prevalence in the local universe. Outnumbering more powerful FR radio galaxies by approximately fivefold within redshifts of z≤0.05, FR0s may contribute a considerable fraction of the total UHECR energy density. The presented comprehensive study employs CRPropa3 simulations to estimate the mass composition and energy spectra of UHECRs emitted by FR0 galaxies. These simulations, which integrate extrapolated FR0 properties and various configurations of intergalactic magnetic fields (both random and structured), are compared to recent data from the Pierre Auger Observatory using three extensive air-shower models. By fitting the simulated spectral indices, rigidity cutoffs, and elemental fractions to Auger’s observed energy spectrum and ⟨lnA⟩ composition, we probe the contribution of FR0 sources to the UHECR flux. Furthermore, we predict the secondary photon and neutrino fluxes resulting from UHECR interactions with cosmic photon backgrounds and compare these results with current upper limits and theoretical models. This multi-messenger approach provides valuable insights into the role of low-luminosity FR0 radio galaxies within the UHECR landscape.

Mastering the growth of antimonene on ▫$Bi_2Se_3$▫ : strategies and insights
Roberto Flammini, Conor Hogan, Stefano Colonna, Fabio Ronci, Mauro Satta, Marco Papagno, Ziya S. Aliev, Sergey V. Eremeev, Zipporah Rini Benher, Sandra Gardonio, 2025, original scientific article

Abstract: Antimonene, the two-dimensional phase of antimony, appears in two distinct allotropes when epitaxially grown on Bi2Se3: the puckered asymmetric washboard (α) and buckled honeycomb (β) bilayer structures. As-deposited antimony films exhibit varying proportions of single α and β structures. We identify the conditions necessary for ordered, pure-phase growth of single to triple β-antimonene bilayers. Additionally, we determine their electronic structure, work function, and characteristic core-level binding energies, offering an explanation for the relatively large chemical shifts observed among the different phases. This study not only establishes a protocol for achieving a single β phase of antimonene but also provides key signatures for distinguishing between the different allotropes using standard spectroscopic and microscopic techniques.

Čas in minevanje v poeziji Lili Novy : magistrsko delo
Anja Žnidarčič, 2025, master's thesis

Abstract: V magistrski nalogi sem predstavila poezijo Lili Novy, ki je bila izdana v dveh pesniških zbirkah Temna vrata (1941) in Oboki (1959) ter v pesniški zbirki Črepinje in druge pesmi (2005), v kateri so izbrane pesmi napisane v nemškem jeziku in prevedene v slovenski jezik. V nalogi sem se osredotočila na motive časa, minevanja in starosti. Prva dva dela temeljita na pregledu in povzemanju teoretskih in literarno teoretskih besedil. V prvem delu sem predstavila nekatere teorije, ki so skušale razložiti pojem časa. V drugem delu sem predstavila recepcijo poezije Lili Novy, ki je bila ob izidu njenih dveh pesniških zbirk skromna in še danes ni veliko raziskovalcev in raziskovalk, ki bi se z njeno poezijo ukvarjali. Kljub temu, da poeziji priznavajo kvaliteto, še vedno ni sprejeta v slovenski literarni kanon. V tretjem delu sem analizirala poezijo s fokusom na motivih časa in minevanja, ugotavljala sem, kako se lirski subjekt sooča s tem, da čas mineva in s tem prinaša spremembe, tako kolektivno kot v intimnem doživljanju posameznika.
