Context. Accurate photometric calibration of astronomical photographic plates remains a fundamental challenge in astronomy, especially when bridging historical photographic data with modern observations due to the mismatch of spectral sensitivities of ...

Anthropogenic factors such as artificial lighting at night (ALAN) and natural factors including temperature and moonlight can affect the dawn chorus pattern in birds. However, most studies are conducted in temperate regions. We investigated the effect of anthropogenic and natural factors on dawn chorus timing in eight species of bird across Hong Kong ...

Context. Quasi-stellar objects (QSOs) are essential for investigating the structure and evolution of the Universe. Historically, their identification has been concentrated in the northern hemisphere, primarily due to the sky coverage of major ...

Abstract We present a comprehensive synthesis of recent developments in methodological approaches to combine experimental and genomic studies of picophytoplankton–virus interactions. This synthesis will not only enhance our understanding of these relationships but also stimulate new hypotheses for the interpretation of metagenomic data and enrich ...

Photoelectric observations of lunar occultations at Engelhardt Astronomical Observatory
Results of the lunar occultations observed from 1984 to 1997 at the Engelhardt Astronomical Observatory are reported. The times of lunar occultation for 63 stars, with a precision of a few milliseconds, and diameters for 12 stars have been ...

Xenoliths in meteorites: Insights into the dynamics of material exchange between asteroids
Abstract A minor fraction of meteorites contains xenoliths, that is, clasts that were formed on a different parent body than that of the host lithology. The occurrence of xenoliths is direct evidence for the exchange of material between asteroids, including exchanges between asteroids from the carbonaceous (CC) and non‐carbonaceous (NC) reservoirs ...

Abstract Despite meteorites having been recognized as the source of iron in some ancient iron artifacts, few archeological irons have been analyzed so far, as invasive methods are precluded. In this work, four iron knives and one axe collected near Guelmime and Imilchil (Morocco) were investigated by advanced analytical techniques, including handheld ...

Thermal history, collisional history, and structure of the CK‐chondrite parent body
Abstract Major chondrite groups (H, L, LL, R, EH, EL, CK) with some members of petrologic type 5 and 6 also have some members of types 3 and 4; they do not have members of type 1 or 2. Their parent bodies had onion‐shell structures and were internally heated by the decay of 26Al.

Humidity‐driven shape morphing enhances fog harvesting in porous cactus spines
Spine straightening and water collection during fog exposure in Turbinicarpus alonsoi. Summary Cacti develop spines instead of conventional leaves, which often serve as mechanical defence against herbivores. However, some cactus species grow porous and flexible spines, suggesting fundamentally different functions.
