Revisiting Variable Stars Toward the Globular Cluster NGC 6496 With ATLAS and Gaia Photometry
ABSTRACT We revisit 13 variable stars in the field of the metal‐rich globular cluster NGC 6496, discovered by Abbas et al. (2015; Astronomical Journal 149:40) (hereafter referred to as “MA15”) via time‐series data, spanning 2 years. We improve upon the MA15 characterization of the variables using ATLAS time‐series photometry data, spanning 8 years, in ...

ASTEROIDS EXPLORATION WITH BALDONE SCHMIDT TELE-SCOPE
CCD observations of asteroids were ob-tained in 2008 with the Baldone Schmidt telescope (aper-ture/diameter/focal length = 80/120/240 cm) at the Bal-done Astrophysical observatory (code 069) of the Institute of Astronomy of the University of Latvia.

Celestial Bodies Far-Range Detection with Deep-Space CubeSats
Detecting celestial bodies while in deep-space travel is a critical task for the correct execution of space missions. Major bodies such as planets are bright and therefore easy to observe, while small bodies can be faint and therefore difficult to ...

High atmospheric pressure (120 kPa) in deep underground counteracts humidity‐induced physiological stress in plants, stabilizing water balance and enhancing antioxidative defenses. This synergy boosts biomass despite elevated humidity, demonstrating sustainable deep underground agriculture potential under climate uncertainty.

Context. One of the main bottlenecks in assessing the accuracy of the Mars orbit is the unknown value of the asteroids in the main asteroid belt. A modeling with 343 asteroids as point masses is used today, with the relative masses fit to observational ...

Embryonic development of the Mediterranean starfish Hacelia attenuata
Abstract Background Starfish play essential ecological roles as predators and ecosystem regulators; however, detailed developmental descriptions exist for only a handful of species, none of which are from the Mediterranean Sea. Results In this study, we provide the first full account of the development of the Mediterranean starfish Hacelia attenuata ...

The Distribution of Highly Red-sloped Asteroids in the Middle and Outer Main Belt
Red ( S > 10%/0.1 μ m) spectral slopes are common among Centaurs and trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) in the outer solar system. Interior to and co-orbital with Jupiter, the red ( S ∼ 10%/0.1 μ m) slopes of D-type main-belt and Jupiter Trojan asteroids are

Chemical states of Se and Br atoms in the KPg boundary sediments from Stevns Klint were studied using XAFS spectroscopy. The high concentrations of Se4+ could become an index of the degree to which the global environment was soiled with dust and ash derived from impact ejecta or volcanic eruptions.

Evidence for Random Walk Transport of Small Asteroids from the Main Belt to the Inner Solar System
The transport of some main-belt asteroids to the inner solar system depends on Yarkovsky radiation forces changing the orbits of those asteroids. However, these forces depend on the rotational states of the asteroids, and YORP radiation forces act to ...
