The ruff of equatorial emission around the SS433 jets: its spectral index and origin
We present unique radio observations of SS433, using MERLIN, the VLBA, and
the VLA, which allow us to, for the first time, properly image and derive a
meaningful spectral index for the `ruff' of equatorial emission which surrounds
SS433's jet. We interpret this smooth ruff as a wind-like outflow from the
binary.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures, to appear in Proceedings of the 4th Microquasar

GX 339-4: back to life
We report preliminary results of a RossiXTE campaign on the 2002 outburst of
the black-hole candidate GX 339-4. We show power density spectra of five
observations during the early phase of the outburst. The first four power
spectra show a smooth transition between a Low State and a Very High State. The
fifth power spectrum resembles a High State, but a strong 6 Hz QPO appears
suddenly within 16 seconds.Comment: 3 pages, 3 figures; to appear in Proceedings of the 4th Microquasar

The correspondence between augmentations and rulings for Legendrian knots
We strengthen the link between holomorphic and generating-function invariants
of Legendrian knots by establishing a formula relating the number of
augmentations of a knot's contact homology to the complete ruling invariant of
Chekanov and Pushkar.Comment: v2: 10 pages, 3 figures; minor revisions, to appear in Pacific J.

Do High Frequency QPOs Depend on Phase of Low Frequency QPOs in XTE J1550-564 ?
We have studied the dependence of the high frequency Quasi-periodic
Oscillation (QPO) (~284 Hz) on the phase of the low frequency QPO (~6 Hz) in
the black hole X-ray binary XTE J1550-564 in the observations of the Rossi
X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) performed on MJD 51241. By selecting the local
maxima and the local minima in the light curve on the 6 Hz QPO time scale, we
have found the corresponding high frequency QPO frequencies are consistent
within 1.5 sigma. However, the average central QPO frequency of the maxima and
the minima is about 2.0 sigma lower than the average high frequency QPO
frequency obtained in the entire observation. This marginally suggests that the
high frequency QPOs probably varies in frequency on short time scales. We
briefly discuss these results and their consequences.Comment: 3 pages, 1 figure, to appear in the Proceedings of the 4th

Book Review: Digital Demagogue: Authoritarian Capitalism in the Age of Trump and Twitter by Christian Fuchs
Ryan J. Phillips reviews Christian Fuchs' Digital Demagogue: Authoritarian Capitalism in the Age of Trump and Twitter. Fuchs' latest work provides an excellent critical perspective on the global rise of right-wing populism and authoritarianism, and explores the specifics of Trump's brand of authoritarian ideology and its dissemination via social media platforms
