Star−Disk Collisions: Implications for Quasi-periodic Eruptions and Other Transients near Supermassive Black Holes by Philippe Z. Yao, Eliot Quataert, Yan-Fei Jiang, Wenbin Lu, Christopher J. White

“…We provide simple fitting functions for the stellar mass loss per collision; the mass loss is much larger after repeated collisions, due to the dilute stellar atmosphere shock-heated in earlier collisions. The lifetime of the QPE-emitting phase set by stellar mass loss in star−disk collision models for QPEs is thus at most ∼1000 yr; it is shortest for eRO-QPE2, of order a few decades. …”

Assessment of long-term changes in subvalvular aortic stenosis in patients following transcatheter aortic valve implantation by Vladlen V. Bazylev, Andrey B. Voevodin, Alexey S. Masyutin

“…The combination of these diseases during transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is associated with significantly worse hospital outcomes, including cardiogenic shock, renal failure, and death. There is evidence that TAVI without prior treatment of left ventricular outflow tract obstruction leads to higher mortality due to exacerbation of subvalvular obstruction. …”

Significant Ionospheric Hole and Equatorial Plasma Bubbles After the 2022 Tonga Volcano Eruption by Ercha Aa, Shun‐Rong Zhang, Philip J. Erickson, Juha Vierinen, Anthea J. Coster, Larisa P. Goncharenko, Andres Spicher, William Rideout

“…(c) Various acoustic‐gravity wave modes due to volcano eruption were observed by accurate Beidou geostationary orbit (GEO) TEC, and the huge ionospheric hole was mainly caused by intense shock‐acoustic impulses. TEC rate of change index revealed globally propagating ionospheric disturbances at a prevailing Lamb‐wave mode of ∼315 m/s; the large‐scale EPBs could be seeded by acoustic‐gravity resonance and coupling to less‐damped Lamb waves, under a favorable condition of volcano‐induced enhancement of dusktime plasma upward E×B drift and postsunset rise of the equatorial ionospheric F‐layer.…”
