A SPHEREx Pipeline and Spectral Library for Ultracool Dwarfs

We present a Python spectrophotometry extraction tool tailored for fast-moving point sources detected in the SPHEREx mission, and use it to construct a set of 0.75-5.0 $\mu$m low-resolution ($\lambda/\Delta\lambda \sim 50$) spectrophotometry data products based on the SPHEREx Quick Release 2 (QR2) for a set of 6003 L0-Y1 ultracool dwarfs: 2050 known ultracool dwarfs, 3008 known photometric ultracool dwarf candidates, and 947 newly identified ultracool dwarfs. This work more than doubles the number of ultracool dwarfs with spectroscopy, from 3449 to 7402. We provide SPHEREx templates for each spectral subtype and a set of tools to assign automated spectral types. The QR2 data release generates spectrophotometry with an average signal-to-noise per spectral channel above $\sim$10 for most objects with WISE W2 magnitudes of 14.0 mag and brighter. The compiled data set is made available publicly at https://mocadb.ca, where new spectral compilations from future data releases will also be made available as they are published. These new data provide a significant increase in the number of substellar objects for which the 2.4-5.0 $\mu$m window is now accessible, making it possible to probe important molecular chemistry of key CNOS-bearing species for the coolest brown dwarfs. We flag 2668 ultracool dwarfs as candidate young brown dwarfs, 250 as candidate subdwarfs, and 865 as possibly otherwise peculiar for future investigation. The SPIFF library presented here opens the doors to efficient confirmation of candidate substellar objects and follow-up studies of population-level atmospheric properties of cold brown dwarfs.

Three Thousand Motion-Confirmed L and T Dwarf Candidates from the Backyard Worlds:~Planet 9 Citizen Science Project

The Backyard Worlds: Planet 9 citizen science project uses data from the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer to detect infrared objects with significant motion. In this work, we present the majority of the L and T dwarf candidates discovered through this effort. For each candidate, we provide proper motion measurements as well as optical, near-infrared, and mid-infrared photometry (when available), photometric spectral types and distance estimates. Three thousand and six new motion-confirmed discoveries are presented in this work, 2,357 with L-type photometric spectral types and 649 with T-type photometric spectral types. We also present an additional 80 objects as likely L or T dwarfs based on available photometry, but for which a significant motion measurement could not be obtained. We identify 28 objects in this sample as new comoving companions to higher-mass stars, and an additional 9 sources that are candidate binary systems made up of two ultracool dwarfs of L-type or later. Follow-up spectroscopic observations will be necessary to confirm spectral types and further characterize the sources discovered through this project. This work presents the largest single sample of motion-confirmed L and T dwarf discoveries to date, which would more than double the number of known L and T dwarfs, if confirmed. We wish to sincerely thank our citizen scientist collaborators for their monumental efforts that have directly impacted this project's success.

Analysis of Boolean Functions Related to Binary Input Binary Output Two-party Nonlocal Games

The famous CHSH game can be interpreted with Boolean functions while understanding the success probability in the classical scenario. In this paper, we have exhaustively studied all the Boolean functions on four variables to express binary input binary output two-party nonlocal games and explore their performance in both classical and quantum scenarios. Our analysis finds out some other games (other than the CHSH game) which offer a higher success probability in the quantum scenario as compared to the classical one. Naturally, our study also notes that the CHSH game (and the games corresponding to the similar partition) is the most efficient in terms of separation between quantum and classical techniques.

Enhancing chaos in multistability regions of Duffing map for an asymmetric image encryption algorithm

This paper investigates and analyzes the dynamics of the two-dimensional Duffing map. Multistability behavior has been observed from the system numerically. Such behavior, especially the coexistence of chaotic and periodic attractors, is undesirable in the applications of chaos-based cryptography. Therefore, we design and implement a Sine-Cosine chaotification technique to enhance chaos in the multistable regions. Furthermore, this paper proposes a new image encryption algorithm to examine the performance of the generalized Duffing map in cryptography applications. Simulation results and security analysis reveal that the proposed algorithm can effectively encrypt and decrypt several image types with a high level of security.

Internal Gravity Waves in the Earth's Ionosphere

The theory of low-frequency internal gravity waves (IGWs) is readdressed in the stable stratified weakly ionized Earth's ionosphere. The formation of dipolar vortex structures and their dynamical evolution, as well as, the emergence of chaos in the wave-wave interactions are studied both in presence and absence of the Pedersen conductivity. The latter is shown to inhibit the formation of solitary vortices and the onset of chaos.

Evading Malware Analysis Using Reverse Execution

Malware is a security threat, and various means are adapted to detect and block them. In this paper, we demonstrate a method where malware can evade malware analysis. The method is based on single-step reverse execution of code using the self-debugging feature. We discuss how self-debugging code works and use that to derive reverse execution for any payload. Further, we demonstrate the feasibility of a detection evading malware through a real implementation that targets Linux x86-64 architecture for a reference implementation. The reference implementation produces one result when run in one direction and a different result when run in the reverse direction.

Audio signal encryption using chaotic Hénon map and lifting wavelet transforms

We propose a new audio signal encryption scheme based on the chaotic Hénon map. The scheme mainly comprises two phases: one is the preprocessing stage where the audio signal is transformed into a data by the lifting wavelet scheme and the other in which the transformed data is encrypted by chaotic data set and hyperbolic functions. Furthermore, we use dynamic keys and consider the key space size to be large enough to resist any kind of cryptographic attacks. A statistical investigation is also made to test the security and the efficiency of the proposed scheme.
