Astrophysics in 1994 [PDF]

open access: yesPublications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 1995
1994 was the year in which we saw the first images from the repaired Hubble Space Telescope; the probable detection of a diffuse intergalactic medium, a black hole in M87, and an enormous primordial deuterium abundance; the discovery of the first (and second) superluminal objects within our own galaxy; not to mention the demise of the Jovian dinosaurs.

Beyond Silicon: Toward Sustainable, NIR‐II, and Conformable Organic Photodiodes

open access: yesAdvanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
In this perspective, a strategic shift in organic photodetector (OPD) research is proposed: instead of the incremental advances in silicon's stronghold arena, the most impactful future for OPDs lies in addressing silicon's intrinsic limitations, i.e., detection in the longer wavelength range above silicon's coverage (>1100 nm, termed as near infrared ...

Estimated equivalent radiation dose at different altitudes in Earth’s atmosphere

open access: yesSolar-Terrestrial Physics, 2022
The paper reports the results of simulation of cosmic ray proton transport through Earth’s atmosphere. The main objective of this work is to obtain characteristics of secondary particle fluxes at different altitudes and to convert them to equivalent dose

Buoyancy‐Driven Micropolar Fluid Flow Transport in Porous Media With Variable Heat Source and Convective Heating

open access: yesAsia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The objective of the current research is to characterize the thermal performance in micropolar fluid flows on a vertically elongated porous sheet in the presence of buoyancy forces. Thus, the motivation of this study is to improve the understanding of buoyancy‐driven micropolar fluid flows through porous media, which are relevant to advanced ...

Fundamental Physics and Relativistic Laboratory Astrophysics with Extreme Power Lasers

open access: yes, 2012
The prospects of using extreme relativistic laser-matter interactions for laboratory astrophysics are discussed. Laser-driven process simulation of matter dynamics at ultra-high energy density is proposed for the studies of astrophysical compact objects ...

Black Holes in Astrophysics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
This article reviews the current status of black hole astrophysics, focusing on topics of interest to a physics audience. Astronomers have discovered dozens of compact objects with masses greater than 3 solar masses, the likely maximum mass of a neutron ...

Radial Velocity Monitoring and Analysis of Gaia Astrometry of Selected Intermediate Mass Stars to Constrain Their Multiplicity Status

open access: yesAstronomische Nachrichten, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We present new radial velocity measurements of 13 selected intermediate mass stars (2–6 M⊙). The measurements were performed between 29 April and 6 September 2024 at the University Observatory Jena using the échelle spectrograph FLECHAS. The radial velocity of eight stars was found to be constant during our spectroscopic monitoring, namely: 17

PERICLES: A Set of Empirical Rotational Isochrones Modeled on Cool Dwarfs in Open Clusters and Wide Binaries

open access: yesAstronomische Nachrichten, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Isochrones, equal‐age curves, are widely used in astrophysics to estimate stellar ages. Classical stellar parameters are, however, very limited in their usability for main sequence stars because of their weak age‐dependence. Here, rotation period measurements provide complementary information.

Optical and near-infrared observations of the GRB 970616 error box [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
We report on near-infrared and optical observations of the GRB 970616 error box and of the X-ray sources discovered by ASCA and ROSAT in the region. No optical transient was found either within the IPN band or in the X-ray error boxes, similarly to other
