The black-to-white hole solutions with exact symmetry between the black hole and white hole regions are constructed by appropriately fixing the quantum parameters in the effective theory of loop quantum gravity. This approach circumvents the issue of amplification of mass, which could arise from a mass difference between the black hole and white hole, and provides a way to link the solutions obtained by minisuperspace quantization to those in the covariant approach. Finally, the black-to-white hole solutions with a cosmological constant are constructed. The numerical solutions for the interior of the black-to-white hole with a cosmological constant are obtained, and their symmetric behavior is also discussed.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":774,"journal":{"name":"Science China Physics, Mechanics & Astronomy","volume":"68 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2025-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s11433-024-2623-8.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143707168","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, the physical process of laser-induced microparticle launching is analyzed. A scaling law for the launch system is obtained by dimensional analysis. The influence of dominant dimensionless parameters on the dimensionless velocity of the microparticle is then assessed by numerical simulations.

Investigating the dust composition and size, and their variation over time, is crucial for understanding the planet formation process. The PDS 70 disk is so far the only protoplanetary disk with concrete evidence for the presence of young planets. Mid-infrared spectra were obtained for PDS 70 by the Infrared Spectrograph (IRS) on the Spitzer Space Telescope (SST) and the Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) on the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) in 2007 and 2022, respectively. In this work, we investigate the dust mineralogy through a detailed decomposition of the observed mid-infrared spectra. The results show that both the dust size and crystallinity increased by a factor of about two during the two epochs of observation, indicating evident dust processing in the terrestrial planet-forming region of the PDS 70 disk. The dust size (∼ 0.8 µm) and crystallinity (∼ 6%) in the PDS 70 disk are similar to those of other disks, which implies that the two nascent planets, PDS 70b and PDS 70c located at radial distances of ∼ 22 AU and ∼ 34 AU, do not have a significant impact on the dust processing in the inner disk. The flux densities at λ ≿ 16 µm measured by JWST/MIRI are only 60% of those obtained by Spitzer/IRS. Based on self-consistent radiative transfer modeling, we found that such a strong variability in mid-infrared fluxes can be produced by adjustments to the dust density distribution and structure of the inner disk probably induced by planet-disk interaction.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":774,"journal":{"name":"Science China Physics, Mechanics & Astronomy","volume":"68 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2025-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143716912","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, we present the experimental, numerical, and theoretical studies of the axial responses of a 316 stainless steel rod during vertical impact with a rigid flat.

Furthermore, we perform free-drop experiments on these rods and numerical simulations to verify the theoretical models. The results show that the strain-rate effect hardens the rod nose and should not be ignored even at a velocity as low as a few meters per second. After the proposal of a dynamic correction factor to adjust the quasi-static contact model, the theoretical, numerical, and experimental results agree well with one another. Also, the three-dimensional (3D) FEM simulations show that the slight deviations between the experimental and the predicted results are due to the slight obliqueness of the rods in the drop.
