We report new measurements of the acoustic excitation of an Al5056 superconductive bar when hit by an electron beam, in a previously unexplored temperature range, down to 0.35 K. These data, analyzed together with previous results of the RAP experiment obtained for T > 0.54 K, show a vibrational response enhanced by a factor 4.9 with respect to that measured in the normal state. This enhancement explains the anomalous large signals due to cosmic rays previously detected in the NAUTILUS gravitational wave detector.

Cosmic voids - the low density regions in the Universe - as characteristic features of the large scale matter distribution, are known for their hyperbolic properties. The latter implies the deviation of photon beams due to their underdensity, thus mimicing the negative curvature. We now show that the hyperbolicity can be induced not only by negative curvature or underdensity but also depends on the anisotropy of the photon beams.
The currently released datasets of the observational surveys reveal the redshift dependence of the physical features of cosmic voids. We study the void induced hyperbolicity, that is the deviation of the photon beams propagating the voids, taking into account the redshift dependence of the void size indicated by the observational surveys. The cumulative image distortion parameter is obtained for the case of a sequence of variable size voids and given underdensity parameters. The derived formulae applied along with those of redshift distortion ones, enable one to trace the number and the physical parameters of the line-of-sight voids from the analysis of the distortion in the galactic surveys.}
Cosmic voids as typical under-density regions in the large scale Universe are known for their hyperbolic properties as an ability to deviate the photon beams. The under-density then is acting as the negative curvature in the hyperbolic spaces. The hyperbolicity of voids has to lead to distortion in the statistical analysis at galactic surveys. We reveal the sensitivity of the hyperbolicity and hence of the distortion with respect to the ratio of void/wall scales which are observable parameters. This provides a principal possibility to use the distortion in the galactic surveys in revealing the line-of sight number of cosmic voids and their characteristic scales.
The observation of gravitational waves is hindered by the presence of transient noise (glitches). We study data from the third observing run of the Advanced LIGO detectors, and identify new glitch classes. Using training sets assembled by monitoring of the state of the detector, and by citizen-science volunteers, we update the Gravity Spy machine-learning algorithm for glitch classification. We find that a new glitch class linked to ground motion at the detector sites is especially prevalent, and identify two subclasses of this linked to different types of ground motion. Reclassification of data based on the updated model finds that 27 % of all transient noise at LIGO Livingston belongs to the new glitch class, making it the most frequent source of transient noise at that site. Our results demonstrate both how glitch classification can reveal potential improvements to gravitational-wave detectors, and how, given an appropriate framework, citizen-science volunteers may make discoveries in large data sets.
It is shown that F(R)-modified gravitational theories lead to curvature oscillations in astrophysical systems with rising energy density. The frequency and the amplitude of such oscillations could be very high and would lead to noticeable production of energetic cosmic ray particles.
