For a superintegrable system defined in plane polar-like coordinates introduced by Szumiński et al. and studied by Fordy, we show that the system with a position-dependent mass is separable in three distinct coordinate systems. The corresponding separation equations and additional integrals of motion are derived explicitly. The closure algebra of integrals is deduced. We also make a generalization of this system by employing the classical Jacobi method. Lastly a sufficient condition which ensures flatness of the underlying space is derived via explicit calculation.

Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
