Investigation of the Quasi-periodic Oscillation Phase Lag of RE J1034+396

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We conduct an in-depth study of the quasi-periodic oscillation (QPO) properties of RE J1034+396 by constructing QPO phase-folded light curves from 10 XMM-Newton observations during 2020–2021.

Reading Dürer in Late Sixteenth‐Century Padua: Matteo Macigni (ca. 1510–1582), His Library and the Annotated Institutionum geometricarum (Paris, 1535)

open access: yesRenaissance Studies, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article contributes to the history of material culture and intellectual biography by definitively identifying the Paduan scholar Matteo Macigni (ca. 1510–1582) as the author of the annotations found in a 1535 copy of Albrecht Dürer’s Institutionum geometricarum currently preserved in Vicenza.

Stacking X-Ray Observations of “Little Red Dots”: Implications for Their Active Galactic Nucleus Properties

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
Recent James Webb Space Telescope observations have revealed a population of compact extragalactic objects at z ≳ 4 with red near-infrared colors, which have been dubbed as “Little Red Dots” (LRDs).

Artifex Ars Cartographica: Collaboration Between Portuguese Painters and Cartographers in the Fifteenth and Sixteenth Centuries

open access: yesRenaissance Studies, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT During the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, there was no statutory difference between cartography, drawing and painting. These activities were performed then by craftsmen who were part of a vast group under the umbrella of ‘mechanical arts’ and fell under the ‘artifex’ category. Artifex were experts in any particular art, whether a craftsman,

Mid-infrared Variability-based Active Galactic Nucleus Selection Using the Multiepoch Photometric Data from WISE

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We assess the systematics and efficiency of an active galactic nucleus (AGN) selection method based on mid-infrared (MIR) variability. To this end, we utilize various types of active and inactive galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, matching them ...

Building a Continental‐Scale Geodetic Network: The Plate Boundary Observatory (PBO)

open access: yesPerspectives of Earth and Space Scientists, Volume 7, Issue 1, December 2026.
Abstract The Plate Boundary Observatory (PBO) transformed the use of geodesy in North America to study crustal deformation and plate boundary processes by establishing a continental‐scale, standardized, open‐access geodetic network. Built and operated by UNAVCO between 2003 and 2018 as part of the National Science Foundation (NSF)‐funded EarthScope ...

Transient Relativistic Iron Emission Line from an X-Ray Flaring Supermassive Black Hole

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We report the discovery of the first transient relativistic iron K α line in an active galactic nucleus (AGN), J1047+5907. The line was detected 21.5 days (rest frame) after an X-ray coronal flare was observed in 2008, and it exhibits significant ...

From Flybys to Sample Return: A Review of Space Probes and Robotic Sampling Technologies for Small Bodies

open access: yesJournal of Field Robotics, Volume 43, Issue 7, Page 4475-4514, October 2026.
ABSTRACT As a crucial puzzle piece of deep space exploration, exploring small bodies can provide significant scientific insights and valuable mineral resources. Unlike missions to the Moon and Mars, small‐body missions pose distinct technical challenges, including communication delays, weak gravity, and uncertain environments. This paper reviews a full
