Quantifying the Impact of Relativistic Precession on Tidal Disruption Event Light Curves

Astronomische Nachrichten, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The tidal field of a black hole can turn a star into a gas stream whose orbit can precess, especially if the a black hole is rapidly spinning. In this work, we investigate the impact of precession on the light curves of tidal disruption events (TDE).

Sunshine Duration in Brazil From Meteosat (1983–2020): Climatology, Variability and Long‐Term Trends

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Using nearly four decades of Meteosat satellite data (1983–2020), this study presents a country‐wide climatology of sunshine duration (SDU) in Brazil. The results reveal marked regional contrasts, dominant modes of variability, and significant long‐term trends, providing new information on the most relevant meteorological systems that influence SDU and

Multi-criteria GIS analysis of the topography of the Moon and better solutions for potential landing

Open Astronomy, 2019
During the past twenty years, the need to reach theMoon by the private space missions has been growing. Some of the private missions are supported by Google Lunar X-prize and Space-X. In the period between 2020 and 2050 private companies will be planning

The azimuth observation by Global Navigation Satellite Systems as an alternative to astronomical method: a case study at Kakioka [PDF]

Geoscientific Instrumentation, Methods and Data Systems
For the azimuth observation to be made at its magnetic observatories routinely, Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) has adopted a traditional method based on Polaris sighting.

Optical Skyrmions with Tunable or Reconfigurable Topology Using Spin‐Decoupled Metaoptics

Laser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.
The work introduces advanced optical elements capable of generating and dynamically reconfiguring complex light patterns known as optical skyrmions. By precisely shaping light polarization at the nanoscale, a single engineered metasurface can generate and manipulate robust and tunable polarization textures in an efficient and scalable way.

Anisotropic Diffuse Radiation Model of Photovoltaic Systems

Progress in Photovoltaics: Research and Applications, EarlyView.
Monthly incident diffuse energy—isotropic and anisotropic models. ABSTRACT The diffuse solar radiation is a component of the global solar radiation and may contribute a significant percentage (50% and above in some locations) of the electric output energy of Photovoltaic (PV) systems.

«Orientatio ad sidera»: astronomy and landscape in «Qart Hadašt/Carthago Nova»

Zephyrus, 2015
Archaeological investigations in Cartagena –the ancient Punic Qart Hadašt, Roman Carthago Nova– have manifested the existence of ritual, urban and topographical elements that could be analyzed from the perspective of Cultural Astronomy.

Design Considerations for Visualization Transitions of 3D Spatial Data in Hybrid AR‐Desktop Environments

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
We present design considerations for animated transitions of the appearance of 3D spatial datasets in a hybrid Augmented Reality‐desktop context. Such hybrid interfaces combine both traditional and immersive displays to facilitate the exploration of 2D and 3D data representations in the environment in which they are best displayed.

Determining impact angle from the spatial distribution of shock metamorphism: A case study of the Gosses Bluff (Tnorala) impact structure, Australia

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract The majority of planetary impacts occur at oblique angles. Impact structures on Earth are commonly eroded or buried, rendering the identification of the direction and angle of impact—using methods such as asymmetries in ejecta distribution, surface topographic expression, central uplift structure, and geophysical anomalies—challenging. In this

Radio Pulse Power Distribution of Lightning in Jupiter's 2021–2022 Stealth Superstorms

AGU Advances, Volume 7, Issue 2, April 2026.
Abstract Surveys and observations of lightning on Jupiter prior to the NASA Juno mission used night‐side imaging approaches, and a common conclusion was that the optical energy was similar to the highest energy terrestrial lightning flashes, or superbolts.
