WTF? Discovering the Unexpected in next-generation radio continuum surveys [PDF]

open access: yesAstronomical Data Analysis Software and Systems XXV, Volume 512, Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 2017, p.109, 2016
Most major discoveries in astronomy have come from unplanned discoveries made by surveying the Universe in a new way, rather than by testing a hypothesis or conducting an investigation with planned outcomes. Next generation radio continuum surveys such as the Evolutionary Map of the Universe (EMU: the radio continuum survey on the new Australian SKA ...

3D printing for teaching and exploration in astronomy for individuals with blindness/visual impairment: textured representations of imagery [PDF]

open access: yes
Astronomy, a captivating field that draws upon science, mathematics, and engineering, has traditionally relied on visual representations to convey the wonders of the cosmos. While this approach effectively engages the sighted population, the use of imagery can exclude individuals with blindness or visual impairment (B/VI).

Report of the Kavli IAU Workshop on Global Coordination: Future Space-Based Ultraviolet-Optical-Infrared Telescopes [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2017
International efforts play a key role in driving all areas of astrophysics. Strategic planning is essential to explore possible partnerships and joint projects that otherwise could not be afforded, and to maximize their scientific return. For these reasons, the International Astronomical Union (IAU) established in 2016 the Working Group on Global ...

Virtual Observatory: Science capabilities and scientific results [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2009
The virtual observatory (VO) is a collection of interoperable data archives, tools and applications that together form an environment in which original astronomical research can be carried out. The VO is opening up new ways of exploiting the huge amount of data provided by the ever-growing number of ground-based and space facilities, as well as by ...

Applying Astronomical Solutions and Milankovi{ć} Forcing in the Earth Sciences [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
Astronomical solutions provide calculated orbital and rotational parameters of solar system bodies based on the dynamics and physics of the solar system. Application of astronomical solutions in the Earth sciences has revolutionized our understanding in at least two areas of active research.
