First Evidence of Circumstellar Disks around Blue Straggler Stars

open access: yes, 2004
We present an analysis of optical HST/STIS and HST/FOS spectroscopy of 6 blue stragglers found in the globular clusters M3, NGC6752 and NGC6397. These stars are a subsample of a set of ~50 blue stragglers and stars above the main sequence turn-off in ...

Enhancing Realism in Holographic Augmented Reality Displays Through Occlusion Handling

open access: yesLaser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.
The proposed optical‐see‐through holographic AR display with occlusion support presents highly realistic 3D AR scenes by projecting speckle‐suppressed, high‐contrast 3D holographic virtual images onto the corresponding real‐scene masks. By leveraging the occlusion capability, virtual shadows based on a Poisson distribution can also be rendered for the ...

Bright Variable Stars in NGC 6819 - An Open Cluster in the Kepler Field

open access: yes, 2010
We describe a variability study of the moderately old open cluster NGC 6819. We have detected 4 new detached eclipsing binaries near the cluster turnoff (one of which may be in a triple system). Several of these systems should be able to provide mass and

Stellar Collisions and Blue Straggler Formation

open access: yes, 2001
We review recent 3D hydrodynamic calculations of stellar collisions using the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) method, and we discuss the implications of the results for the formation and evolution of blue stragglers in globular clusters. We also discuss the construction of simple analytic models for merger remnants, approximating the mass loss ...

Artificial Spider Silk Fibers with Embedded Magnetite Nanoparticles

open access: yesMacromolecular Materials and Engineering, EarlyView.
Artificial spider silk fibers are endowed with magnetic functionality by incorporating magnetite nanoparticles, with different coating and size, at nominal magnetite concentrations between 0.2 and 20 wt.%. The fibers are robust and ductile. The characteristics of the nanoparticles determine their degree of dispersion in the fibers and are crucial to ...

The Frequency of Binary Stars in the Core of 47 Tucanae

open access: yes, 2001
Differential time series photometry has been derived for 46422 main-sequence stars in the core of 47 Tucanae. The observations consisted of near-continuous 160-s exposures alternating between the F555W and F814W filters for 8.3 days in 1999 July with ...

What does coexistence mean? Insight from place‐based trajectories of pastoralists and bears encounters in the Pyrenees

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract The recovery of large carnivores in Europe raises issues related to sharing landscape with humans. Beyond technical solutions, it is widely recognized that social factors also contribute to shaping coexistence. In this context, scholars increasingly stress the need to adopt place‐based approaches by analysing how humans and wildlife interact ...
