Cover Story: In this Issue, we study the survivability of solar-system-like planetary systems during close encounters in stellar associations using N-body simulations. Each system studied is based on one of the possible five-planet resonant configurations, aiming to represent the initial solar system architecture, and is scaled in terms of both planetary mass and orbital compactness to explore the parameter space of the observed exoplanetary architectures. Through simulations, we explore a range of stellar encounter scenarios drawn from distinct cluster environments. We show that system survival depends on the interplay between planetary mass and orbital scale, and our findings place strong constraints on the initial architectures of planetary systems that can endure stellar-dense birth environments. View this paper

Being ionized nebulae where star formation events take place, H ii regions are not only natural laboratories for studying physical processes of star formation and photoionization but also signatures reflecting evolution of their internal stellar popu...

This study explores the behavior of phantom dark energy within the framework of Weyl-type f(Q,T) gravity, considering a spatially flat FLRW universe under observational constraints. The field equations are analytically solved for a dust-like fluid so...

We study the effects of the time evolution of the matter-gravity coupling on the luminosity distance, showing it can provide a natural explanation to the apparent Hubble tension. The gravitational coupling evolution induces a modification of the Frie...

The influence of zero-point fluctuations on photon propagation in a vacuum is investigated without using normal ordering and renormalization procedures, but in a frame of the conformally unimodular metric for a description of the fluctuating gravitat...

In this tutorial, I discuss how to model a neutron star from the Quantum Hadrodynamics microscopic approach. After a brief discussion about hydrostatic equilibrium, I discuss the role of each meson of the model and how to calculate the corresponding...

There have been many research works involving mass transfer in stellar binaries, all of which are limited to certain systems with specific binary parameters. In this work, we use three-dimensional smoothed particle (3D-SPH) simulations to explore the...

We expand our previous study of replicated gauge configurations in lattice SU(Nc) Yang–Mills theory—employing Bloch’s theorem from condensed matter physics—to construct gauge-fixed field configurations on significantly larger lattices than the origin...

I show here that if we construct D-branes not in the form of infinite superpositions of string modes, in order to satisfy the technical condition of coherence by means of eigenstates of annihilation operators, but instead insist on an approximate but...

In this work, we study field theoretic systems of a single axion-like field with linear potentials modulated by cosine terms, allegedly induced by non-perturbative instanton configurations. These systems are considered in expanding-Universe spacetime...

This article presents a comprehensive and rigorous overview of spacetime singularities within the framework of classical General Relativity. Singularities are defined through the failure of geodesic completeness, reflecting the limits of predictabili...
