3D MC. I. X-Ray Tomography Begins to Unravel the 3D Structure of a Molecular Cloud in our Galaxy’s Center

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
Astronomers have used observations of the Galactic gas and dust via infrared, microwave, and radio to study molecular clouds in extreme environments such as the Galactic center.

Symmetry‐Driven Unconventional Magnetoelectric Coupling in Perovskite Altermagnets: From Bulk to the Two‐Dimensional Limit

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
The symmetry‐driven coexistence of altermagnetism and (anti)ferroelectricity in perovskites shows a strong dimensional dependence. Upon reducing the system from bulk to the two‐dimensional limit, only C‐type antiferromagnetic order retains ferroelectrically switchable altermagnetism, whereas A‐ and G‐type orders become conventional antiferromagnets ...

Using Activity Theory to Understand the Systemic Tensions Characterizing a Technology-Rich Introductory Astronomy Course

open access: yes, 2002
In this report of our research on a computer-based three-dimensional (3-D) modeling course for learning astronomy, we use the central tenets of activity theory to analyze participation by undergraduate students and instructors, illuminating the instances

AstroSR: A Data Set of Galaxy Images for Astronomical Superresolution Research

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series
In the past decade, various sky surveys with a wide range of wavelengths have been conducted, resulting in an explosive growth of survey data. There may be overlapping regions between different surveys, but the data quality and brightness are different ...

Biomimetic Polymerization of Tellurocysteine: Breaking the Natural Amino Acid Radioprotection Limitation

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Inspired by natural amino acid polymer‐melanin systems, this study strategically incorporated tellurocysteine to develop advanced radiation‐shielding materials. This approach transformed the primary interaction mechanism between melanin‐based materials and incident photons from Compton scattering to the photoelectric effect. Tellurocysteine‐polymerized

Modeling the spectral energy distribution of ULIRGs I: the radio spectra [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Aims. We aim to constrain new starburst/AGN models of IRAS bright galaxies via their spectral energy distribution from the nearinfrared to the radio. To this end, we determine the radio spectra for a sample of 31 luminous and ultraluminous IRAS galaxies (

Python for gamma-ray astronomy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Gamma-ray astronomy is a relatively new window on the cosmos. The first source detected from the ground was the Crab nebula, seen by the Whipple telescope in Arizona in 1989.

Chiral‐Encoded Pt‐Ir Surfaces as Apparent Spin Filter for Enhanced Oxygen Reduction

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
The Chiral‐Induced Spin Selectivity (CISS) effect is employed in chiral‐encoded mesoporous Platinum‐Iridium (Pt‐Ir) electrocatalysts to enhance the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). A break in spin symmetry leads to a substantial antagonistic difference in activity (>200%) when comparing two enantiomorphs of the same electrode.

Gas-dynamical Mass Measurements of the Supermassive Black Holes in the Early-type Galaxies NGC 4786 and NGC 5193 from ALMA and HST Observations

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We present molecular gas-dynamical mass measurements of the central black holes in the giant elliptical galaxies NGC 4786 and NGC 5193, based on CO (2−1) observations from the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) and Hubble Space Telescope

Three-Dimensional Modeling and Indoor Positioning for Urban Emergency Response

open access: yesISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information, 2017
Three-dimensional modeling of building environments and indoor positioning is essential for emergency response in cities. Traditional ground-based measurement methods, such as geodetic astronomy, total stations, and global positioning system (GPS ...
