Microlensing, Brown Dwarfs and GAIA
, 2018 The GAIA satellite can precisely measure the masses of nearby brown dwarfs and lower main sequence stars by the microlensing effect. The scientific yield is maximised if the microlensing event is also followed with ground-based telescopes to provide ...

When Thriving for More Collapses the System: The Academic Reproduction of Uncaring Structures
British Journal of Management, EarlyView.Abstract This essay argues that the widening gap between aspirational aims and visionary orientations and the prevailing practices in neoliberal academia stems from deeper, historically rooted, market‐based logics shaping our institutions, increasingly governed by economic values and academic subjectivities therein.

Journal of Religious History, EarlyView.Abstract This article argues that W. E. B. Du Bois grounded his seminal conceptualisation of “the Negro church” in a Pan‐Africanist challenge to how Christian reformers and missionaries' usage of “Darkest Africa” as a metaphor for modern urban vice and poverty denigrated Africa and the African diaspora while promoting a segregated, imperialist version ...

Hunting for ancient brown dwarfs: the developing field of brown dwarfs in globular clusters [PDF]
, 2019 This is the final version. Available on open access from the American Astronomical Society via the links in this recordThe detection of brown dwarfs in globular star clusters will allow us to break the degeneracies in age, mass and composition that ...

Gender &History, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This article looks at two critical moments in British immigration – the case of the ‘stateless’ Ugandan Asian husbands, whose wives successfully argued for their entry in Britain in 1973 and the ‘virginity test’ performed on Mrs K at Heathrow Airport in 1979.

An Informed and Systematic Method to Identify Variable Mid-L Dwarfs
The Astrophysical JournalMost brown dwarfs show some level of photometric or spectral variability. However, finding the most variable dwarfs more suited for a thorough variability monitoring campaign remained a challenge until a few years ago with the design of spectral indices ...

REPAIR AND RECONSTRUCTION FOR URBAN COMMONING: The Making of the Liberated Spaces in Naples
International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.Abstract Commoning requires repair. Where capitalist logics of accumulation, enclosure and exclusion produce abandoned space through the city, urban commoners remake that space to serve the needs of inhabitants. Without hiding the paradoxes and risks of repair, based on years‐long ethnography in the Liberated Spaces in Naples, Italy, we demonstrate how

The Astrophysical Journal LettersStellar obliquity serves as a key diagnostic for tracing the dynamical evolution of bound systems—from giant planets and brown dwarfs to stellar binaries—revealing whether these diverse populations share analogous histories.

X-Shooter Medium Resolution Brown Dwarfs Library [PDF]
, 2015 } We obtain medium-resolution spectra in the optical (550-1000 nm, R̃5400) and the near-infrared (1000-2500 nm, R̃3300) using the Wideband ultraviolet-infrared single target spectrograph (X-Shooter) at the Very Large Telescope (VLT).

Activity of protostars and brown dwarfs
, 2003 The first evidences for magnetic activity in low-mass protostars and brown dwarfs were found in the mid-1990's by the old generation of X-ray satellites, namely ROSAT and ASCA.
