Stellar evolution and modelling stars
In this chapter I give an overall description of the structure and evolution of stars of different masses, and review the main ingredients included in state-of-the-art calculations aiming at reproducing observational features.

Futures of Everyday Life: A Qualitative Content Analysis of Future Personas in Scenarios
ABSTRACT Scenario reports, holding a long‐standing tradition in foresight and futures studies, act as an essential document for organizations to prepare for possible, plausible, and alternative futures. Focusing on descriptions and representations of everyday life, we examined 29 future persona narratives from six publications—covering a wide field ...

Abstract This study uses a novel approach to infer the solar soft X‐ray (SXR) irradiance from Auger photoelectron fluxes. Solar SXR irradiance is highly variable, particularly during solar flares. Solar SXR photons at ∼< ${\sim} < $2.5 nm produce oxygen Auger photoelectrons by photoionizing atmospheric constituents. More specifically, we derive the fit

Abstract Hot and tenuous plasmas have velocity distribution functions (VDFs) significantly different from Maxwellian distributions. Characterizing how these differences impact wave damping and emission necessitates sophisticated methods for determining the associated dielectric plasma response.

The Effective Temperatures of O-type Stars from UV spectroscopy
We present an analysis of high resolution spectra in the far-UV -- UV range (~905-2000\AA) with non-LTE, spherical, hydrodynamical, line-blanketed models, of three O-type Galactic stars, and derive their photospheric and wind parameters.

Abstract In May 2024, extraordinary solar activity triggered a powerful solar storm, impacting Earth and producing the extreme geomagnetic storm of 10‐11 May, the most intense since 2003. This had significant effects on the magnetosphere, leading to the creation of a new long‐lasting component of relativistic electrons and to flux changes in the South ...

This article describes the life and work of French astrophysicist Evry Schatzman (1920-2010). He was a pioneer in the study of white dwarfs during the 1940s and was one of the proponents of the wave heating theory of the solar corona.

The formation of planetary disks and winds: an ultraviolet view
Planetary systems are angular momentum reservoirs generated during star formation. This accretion process produces very powerful engines able to drive the optical jets and the molecular outflows.

Observed Climatic Variability of Global Ocean Stratification
Abstract Oceanic stratification plays a key role in climate by modulating the ocean's resistance to be mixed vertically. However, the climatic variability of stratification remains little documented beyond the deepest reach of winter mixing. Here, we address this gap by performing a global investigation of the spatio‐temporal variability of ...

Abstract The radar surface echo can be separated into coherent and incoherent components by statistical approaches, and the coherent component can be described by a backscattering model related to the RMS height. According to backscattering models for fractal surfaces, the coherent power in decibels decreases with RMS height on a scale independent of ...
