Merger of Noncompact Binaries: Triggering Mechanisms and Merger Timescales of W UMa Contact Binaries

The Astrophysical Journal
The merger of noncompact binaries can produce a variety of significant celestial objects, including blue stragglers, luminous red novae, and others. However, several key details of the merger of noncompact binaries remain unclear.

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.

Field‐Programable Dynamics in a Soft Magnetic Actuator Enabling True Random Number Generation and Reservoir Computing

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Complex dynamics, often avoided in electromechanical design, can enhance soft robotics. We develop durable magnetic soft actuators operating in tunable dynamic regimes, enabling random number generation, stochastic computing, and time‐series prediction.

Light‐Modulated Exchange Bias in Multiferroic Heterostructures

Electron, EarlyView.
In this article, exchange bias and magnetization are modulated with visible light at room temperature in PMN‐PZT/FeGa/IrMn multiferroic heterostructures. Photostrictive effect is the main mechanism leading to the modulation of magnetic anisotropy and interfacial exchange bias coupling between the ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic layers.

Hidden Figures of Globular Clusters: Integrated Stellar Populations Impacted by Hot Subdwarfs

The Astrophysical Journal
Globular clusters (GCs) are fundamental for understanding the integrated light of old stellar populations and galaxy assembly processes. However, the role of hot, evolved stars, such as horizontal branch (HB), extreme HB, and blue stragglers, remains ...

Drivers and Challenges of Micro‐Irrigation Adoption and Intensity in India: A Study of Four States

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT India's food security relies substantially on groundwater, but inefficient irrigation is seriously depleting this resource. Micro‐irrigation (MI) improves irrigation application efficiency and productivity, yet adoption remains low. This study examines MI adoption across four major Indian states—Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh and ...

Machine Learning Methods for Stellar Collisions. I. Predicting Outcomes of SPH Simulations

The Astrophysical Journal
Stellar collisions can occur frequently in dense cluster environments and play a crucial role in producing exotic phenomena, from blue stragglers in globular clusters to high-energy transients in galactic nuclei.

Models of DG‐Carbon Bands in Raman Spectra: Effects of Basis Functions and Initial Values on the Uniqueness and S/N of Fits Obtained for Atmospheric Aerosol Using Automated Methods

Journal of Raman Spectroscopy, EarlyView.
Raman spectra containing D/G features are fit using combinations of basis functions and initial conditions. Fits with two Lorentzian functions converged to a single optimized fit even with variation of initial peak positions. For five‐band fits, sometimes the final fit varied with initial conditions, and constraints on peak center position were ...

The Unreasonable Effectiveness of the nΣv Approximation

The Astrophysical Journal
In kinetic theory, the classic n Σ v approach calculates the rate of particle interactions from local quantities: the number density of particles n , the cross section Σ, and the average relative speed v .
