Gravitational wave astrophysics, data analysis and multimessenger astronomy

open access: yes, 2015
This paper reviews gravitational wave sources and their detection. One of the most exciting potential sources of gravitational waves are coalescing binary black hole systems. They can occur on all mass scales and be formed in numerous ways, many of which

Insights on the volcanic and impact histories of the lunar nearside from the petrology, geochemistry, and geochronology of the Calcalong Creek lunar regolith breccia meteorite

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 60, Issue 3, Page 392-421, March 2025.
Abstract The Calcalong Creek lunar meteorite is a regolith breccia with a lithologically diverse array of clasts set in a glassy, highly vesicular matrix. Here, we present a comprehensive new analysis of the meteorite. Comparisons to remote sensing data, lunar sample lithologies, and lunar sample ages indicate that it was likely sourced from regolith ...

Apriti Cielo: the public’s astronomical imagery as a key to evaluate a museum project [PDF]

open access: yesJCOM: Journal of Science Communication, 2006
An effective communication of astronomy cannot take place without considering the view the general public has on the universe. Through a number of narrative interviews with non-experts, a research was carried out on personal cosmologies, to outline the ...

What asteroseismology can do for exoplanets

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2015
We describe three useful applications of asteroseismology in the context of exoplanet science: (1) the detailed characterisation of exoplanet host stars; (2) the measurement of stellar inclinations; and (3) the determination of orbital eccentricity from ...

Using X‐ray computed microtomography (μCT) to determine subsample‐specific cosmogenic noble gas production rates of E (enstatite) chondrites

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 60, Issue 3, Page 442-463, March 2025.
Abstract Cosmic ray exposure (CRE) ages provide information about the parent bodies and source regions of meteorite classes. Cosmogenic noble gases are often used to quantify exposure time scales ranging from tens of ka to hundreds of Ma. The production rate of cosmogenic noble gases is primarily controlled by a meteorite's chemical composition ...

The Role of Ground-Based Robotic Observatories in Satellite Projects

open access: yesAdvances in Astronomy, 2010
We discuss the role of robotic telescopes in satellite projects, as well as related strategies. Most satellite projects in space astrophysics focus on high-energy astrophysics from X-rays to gamma-rays.

Quasi-normal modes of static spherically symmetric black holes in f(R) theory

open access: yesEuropean Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, 2020
We study the quasi-normal modes (QNMs) of static, spherically symmetric black holes in f(R) theories. We show how these modes in theories with non-trivial f(R) are fundamentally different from those in general relativity. In the special case of $$f(R) = \

A primitive asteroid that lived fast and died young sampled by a xenolith in the Cold Bokkeveld CM2 carbonaceous chondrite

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 60, Issue 3, Page 464-483, March 2025.
Abstract Xenoliths in carbonaceous chondrites include lithologies that are unrepresented in the meteorite record and so are a rich source of information on asteroid diversity. Cold Bokkeveld is a CM2 regolith breccia that contains both hydrous and anhydrous lithic clasts. Here, we describe a hydrous clast with a fine‐grained rim.

Iron and copper sulfides in asteroid (162173) Ryugu: Formation conditions and a comparison to the CI and CY chondrites

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 60, Issue 3, Page 506-528, March 2025.
Abstract JAXA's Hayabusa2 sample return mission visited the volatile‐rich carbonaceous (C‐type) asteroid (162173) Ryugu with the aim of ground‐truthing remote observations, returning a pristine sample from a C‐type asteroid, and strengthening links between asteroids and the meteorite collection. Here, we have conducted a systematic study of coarse (>10
