Census of blue stars in SDSS DR8 [PDF]
, 2014 We present a census of the 12,060 spectra of blue objects ($(g-r)_0<-0.25$) in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Data Release 8 (DR8). As part of the data release, all of the spectra were cross-correlated with 48 template spectra of stars, galaxies and QSOs to determine the best match.

Stiffening Liquid Crystal Elastomers with Liquid Crystal Inclusions
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Incorporation of low molecular weight liquid crystals (LC) into liquid crystal elastomers (LCE) leads to a significant increase in their stiffness and output work density. Such remarkable stiffening is attributed to nanoscale phase‐separation and the formation of induced‐smectic domains in polydomain and monodomain LC‐LCEs, respectively.

The Astrophysical JournalNearby blue compact dwarf galaxies (BCDs) are considered analogs to objects from the Epoch of Reionization revealed by JWST, having similarly low stellar masses, low metallicities, and high specific star formation rates.

The Plant Pathology Journal, 2016 The cotton leafroll dwarf virus (CLRDV) is one of the most devastating pathogens of cotton. This malady, known as cotton blue disease, is widespread in South America where it causes huge crop losses. Recently the disease has been reported from India.

Detection of white dwarf companions to blue stragglers in the open cluster NGC 188: direct evidence for recent mass transfer [PDF]
, 2014 Several possible formation pathways for blue straggler stars have been developed recently, but no one pathway has yet been observationally confirmed for a specific blue straggler. Here we report the first findings from a Hubble Space Telescope ACS/SBC far-UV photometric program to search for white dwarf companions to blue straggler stars. We find three

The Brown Dwarf Kinematics Project (BDKP) I. Proper Motions and Tangential Velocities for a Large Sample of Late-type M, L and T Dwarfs [PDF]
Astron.J.137:1-18,2009, 2008 We report proper motion measurements for 427 late-type M, L and T dwarfs, 332 of which have been measured for the first time. Combining these new proper motions with previously published measurements yields a sample of 841 M7-T8 dwarfs. We combined parallax measurements or calculated spectrophotometric distances and computed tangential velocities for ...

Excitation‐Wavelength‐Tunable Lasing in Individual Quantum Dot Superparticles
Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.Mesoscale superparticles assembled from CdSe quantum dots are shown to behave as microlasers with emission properties that can be tuned by changing the excitation wavelength. Abstract Microcavities enable precise control over light‐matter interactions, supporting a wide range of applications in photonics and optoelectronics.

Detectability of Solar Panels as a Technosignature
The Astrophysical JournalIn this work, we assess the potential detectability of solar panels made of silicon on an Earth-like exoplanet as a potential technosignature. Silicon-based photovoltaic cells have high reflectance in the ultraviolet-to-visible (UV-VIS) and in the near ...

Advanced Photonics Research, EarlyView.The necessity and feasibility of enhancing light outcoupling in perovskite light‐emitting diodes (PeLEDs) is highlighted. On near‐IR PeLEDs, low‐cost, micro‐textured light management (LM) foils demonstrate boost in light extraction. Optimizing perovskite thickness and the optical cavity in synergy with LM foils is crucial for maximizing performance ...
