Universe, Volume 11, Issue 6

June 2025 - 32 articles

Cover Story: With the ever-growing volume of astronomical data, we have an immense universe to explore. AI is the key to making new discoveries, but as it gets more complex, how do we know we can trust its interpretations? Is it possible to peek inside AI’s “black box” to understand its internal decisions? This comprehensive guide to Interpretable AI in Astronomy shows how we can and how we already are. By integrating interpretation into our analysis pipelines, we can validate findings, guard against errors, and conduct truly trustworthy research. View this paper

We study the charged black-hole solutions of a 2 + 1 nonlinear electrodynamical theory with a cosmological constant. Considered as a one-parameter group of theories (the exponent of the squared Maxwell tensor), the causal structure of all possible bl...

Reframing Classical Mechanics: An AKSZ Sigma Model Perspective

  • Thomas Basile,
  • Nicolas Boulanger and
  • Arghya Chattopadhyay

19 June 2025

The path-integral re-formulation due to E. Gozzi, M. Regini, M. Reuter, and W. D. Thacker of Koopman and von Neumann’s original operator formulation of a classical Hamiltonian system on a symplectic manifold M is identified as a gauge slice of...

A Novel Logarithmic Approach to General Relativistic Hydrodynamics in Dynamical Spacetimes

  • Mario Imbrogno,
  • Rita Megale,
  • Luca Del Zanna and
  • Sergio Servidio

18 June 2025

We introduce a novel logarithmic approach within the Baumgarte–Shapiro–Shibata–Nakamura (BSSN) formalism for self-consistently solving the equations of general relativistic hydrodynamics (GRHD) in evolving curved spacetimes. This me...

Charged Scalar Boson in Melvin Universe

  • Leonardo G. Barbosa,
  • Luis C. N. Santos,
  • João V. Zamperlini,
  • Franciele M. da Silva and
  • Celso C. Barros

18 June 2025

This work investigates the dynamics of a charged scalar boson in the Melvin universe by solving the Klein–Gordon equation with minimal coupling in both inertial and non-inertial frames. Non-inertial effects are introduced through a rotating ref...

Monte Carlo simulations of induced extensive air showers (EASs) by ultra-high-energy cosmic rays are widely used in comparison with measured events at experiments to estimate the main cosmic ray characteristics, such as mass, energy, and arrival dire...

To study the orbits of satellites, a galaxy can be modeled either by means of a static gravitational potential or by live N-body particles. Analytic potentials allow for fast calculations but are idealized and non-responsive. On the other hand, N-bod...

Gravitational Redshift as a Measure of Rapid Mass Increase

  • David L. Berkahn,
  • James M. Chappell and
  • Derek Abbott

14 June 2025

We begin by reviewing the special relativistic properties of a rotating system of coordinates. These were considered by Einstein in the spinning disk thought experiment during his initial considerations of time and length changes in gravity. Using a...

By “nethotron”, from the ancient Greek verb for “to spin”, it is meant here a natural or artificial rotating object, like a pulsar or an artificial satellite, whose rotational axis is cumulatively displaced by the post-Newtoni...
