Sudan at War With Itself: Civilian Devastation in the Civil War

Conflict Resolution Quarterly, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A civil war is raging in Sudan between the Sudan Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) along with militia groups. Beginning on April 15, 2023, and continuing at least to this writing (October 15, 2025), civilian noncombatants have been subjected to bombings, beatings, torture, shootings, rape, and murder on a large scale.

WIYN Open Cluster Study. XC. Radial-velocity Measurements and Spectroscopic Binary Orbits in the Open Cluster NGC 2506

The Astronomical Journal
NGC 2506 is a rich, intermediate-age (2.0 Gyr), metal-poor ([Fe/H] ∼ −0.2) open cluster. This work presents the results of 12,157 spectroscopic radial-velocity measurements of 2442 stars in the NGC 2506 field obtained over 41 yr, made as part of the WIYN

Mergers of close primordial binaries

, 2005
We study the production of main sequence mergers of tidally-synchronized primordial short-period binaries. The principal ingredients of our calculation are the angular momentum loss rates inferred from the spindown of open cluster stars and the ...

Demonstration, validation, and application of hyperspectral microscopy for the collection of cyanobacterial spectral signatures

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Cyanobacterial and other algal blooms are an environmental concern in waterbodies worldwide. While these blooms are a nuisance for recreational activities, they can also be harmful to human and wildlife health when the algae produce and release toxins.

Discovery of a Barium Blue Straggler Star in M67 and “Sighting” of Its White Dwarf Companion

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
We report the discovery of a barium blue straggler star (BSS) in M67, exhibiting enhancements in slow neutron-capture ( s -)process elements. Spectroscopic analysis of two BSSs (WOCS 9005 & WOCS 1020) and four stars located near the main-sequence turn ...

New parameters for star-cluster dynamics: Observational results

Astronomy & Astrophysics
We recently used a large set of Monte Carlo simulations of globular clusters (GCs) to define new, fully empirical parameters (named A51, P51, and S2.5) able to trace the internal dynamical evolution of dense stellar systems.

Field population II blue stragglers

The Astrophysical Journal, 1981
Photometry and high-resolution spectra are presented and discussed of metal-poor stars hotter than the turn-off of globular clusters. Very few nonvariable candidates for blue stragglers can be identified One, HD 100363, is probably an old-disk short-period variable.
