We detect HD 190360 d at high statistical significance even though its radial velocity (RV) semiamplitude is only K = 1.48 +/- 0.11 m s-1. Such low-amplitude signals are often challenging to confirm due to potential confusion with low-amplitude stellar signals. The HD 190360 system previously had two known planets: the 1.7 MJ (true mass) HD 190360 b on a 7.9 yr orbit and the 21 M circle plus(minimum mass) HD 190360 c on a 17.1 days orbit. Here, we present an in-depth analysis of the HD 190360 planetary system that comprises more than 30 yr of RV measurements and absolute astrometry from the Hipparcos and Gaia spacecraft. Our analysis uses more than 1400 RVs, including nearly 100 from NEID. The proper motion anomaly as measured by these two astrometric missions solves for the dynamical mass of HD 190360 b and contributes to our understanding of the overall system architecture, while the long baseline of RVs enables the robust characterization of HD 190360 c and confirms the discovery of HD 190360 d.
We study how international migrant income prospects affect long-run development in origin areas. We leverage the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis exchange rate shocks in a shift-share identification strategy across Philippine provinces. Initial migrant income shocks are magnified six-fold over time, increasing domestic income, education levels, migrant skills, and high-skilled migration. Remarkably, 74.9 percent of long-run income gains come from domestic rather than migrant income. Trade driven impacts of exchange rate shocks are orthogonal to effects via migrant income. A structural model reveals that 19.7 percent of long-run income gains stem from educational investments. International migration fosters broad economic development in origin communities.

We address the global-in-time existence and pathwise uniqueness of solutions for the three-dimensional incompressible stochastic Navier-Stokes equations with multiplicative noise. Under natural smallness conditions on the noise, we prove an almost sure global existence result for small initial data in L3. Specifically, we show that sufficiently small L3 data yields a pathwise unique strong solution that remains small in L3 and is global-in-time on a set of probability close to 1, with this probability increasing as the initial L3 norm decreases. Moreover, the solution decays exponentially with large probability. (c) 2025 Elsevier Inc. All rights are reserved, including those for text and data mining, AI training, and similar technologies.
Community-driven Text-to-SQL evaluation platforms play a pivotal role in tracking the state of the art of Text-to-SQL performance. The reliability of the evaluation process is critical for driving progress in the field. Current evaluation methods are largely test-based, which involves comparing the execution results of a generated SQL query and a human-labeled ground-truth on a static test database. Such an evaluation is optimistic, as two queries can coincidentally produce the same output on the test database while actually being different. In this work, we propose a new alternative evaluation pipeline, called SpotIt, where a formal bounded equivalence verification engine actively searches for a database that differentiates the generated and ground-truth SQL queries. We develop techniques to extend existing verifiers to support a richer SQL subset relevant to Text-to-SQL. A performance evaluation of ten Text-to-SQL methods on the high-profile BIRD dataset suggests that test-based methods can often overlook differences between the generated query and the ground-truth. Further analysis of the verification results reveals a more complex picture of the current Text-to-SQL evaluation.
Studying cold brown dwarfs is key to understanding the diverse characteristics of cold giant exoplanets atmospheres. COCONUTS-2 is a wide binary system composed of a T9 brown dwarf and an M3 star, which presents a unique opportunity to characterize a cold benchmark brown dwarf. As part of a JWST program to study the range of physical and atmospheric properties of the coldest brown dwarfs, we obtained NIRSpec G395H spectra ( R ∼ 2700, 2.87−5.13 μ m) and MIRI F1000W, F1280W, and F1800W photometry for COCONUTS-2 b. In this work, we find a 99% probability of the system belonging to the Corona of Ursa Major moving group (414 ± 23 Myr) using BANYAN Σ and its full kinematics. We also reestimate the astrometry of COCONUTS-2b using the MIRI data. We support this membership with a comparison of the rotation period, metallicity, and C/O ratio of the group with those of the COCONUTS-2 system. We also calculate its bolometric luminosity, which, combined with our age estimation, allows us to derive its mass, effective temperature, surface gravity, and radius with high precision. As a result of our analysis, we support the conclusion that COCONUTS-2 b is a planetary-mass object (7.5 ± 0.4 M _Jup ), which was likely formed via the same mechanism as stars. In addition we compare the JWST spectrum to another object in the sample, J082507.35+280548.5 (0825+2805), a Y0.5 brown dwarf, which is a candidate member of the same moving group, but has a lower mass (3.7 ± 0.2 M _Jup ). We identify absorption feature differences, which could indicate that 0825+2805 has stronger vertical mixing.
