The ORCA‐TWIN qCMOS Experiment I. Science Case and Commissioning at Calar Alto Observatory

open access: yesAstronomische Nachrichten, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We describe a pilot study to explore a new generation of fast and low noise CMOS image sensors for time domain astronomy, using two remote telescopes with a baseline of 1635 km. The experiment involves direct imaging with novel qCMOS image sensor technology that combines fast readout with sub‐electron readout noise.

The Impact of Irradiation on the Radius and Thermal Evolution of Transiting Brown Dwarfs

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Masses and radii of transiting brown dwarfs can be measured directly, in contrast to isolated field brown dwarfs, whose mass and radius inferences are model dependent.

Listening to Hong Kong children's perspectives through pretend play

open access: yesBritish Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Quality in early childhood education and care (ECEC) has become an increasing concern in recent years. The issue has been regularly discussed by different stakeholders. However, the rising concern regarding quality in ECEC has not seriously taken into account children's perspectives.

Between public service and market: Portraying the bifront university in a platformized world

open access: yesBritish Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper contributes to the international debate on the changes affecting recruitment and orientation processes toward higher education. Based on qualitative research involving 19 Italian public universities, the study analyses the transformations in communication, recruitment and orientation activities within platformization and increasing ...

The Influence of Clouds and Deuterium-burning on Brown Dwarf Habitable Zones

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
To better understand the potential habitability of planets orbiting brown dwarfs, this work presents a new set of equilibrium temperature evolution tracks. Unlike most previous work that relied on analytic scaling relationships for brown dwarf luminosity

An Investigation of New Brown Dwarf Spectral Binary Candidates From the Backyard Worlds: Planet 9 Citizen Science Initiative

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 2023
We present three new brown dwarf spectral-binary candidates: CWISE J072708.09−360729.2, CWISE J103604.84−514424.4, and CWISE J134446.62−732053.9, discovered by citizen scientists through the Backyard Worlds: Planet 9 project.

‘I was treated as a deficit’: Immigrant teachers' career progression in Australia

open access: yesBritish Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Immigrant teachers have long been recruited through skilled and employer‐sponsored migration schemes to address teacher shortages in Australia, yet their career trajectories remain constrained by systemic inequities that limit their integration and professional development opportunities.

Brown Dwarfs

open access: yes, 1998
After a discussion of the physical processes in brown dwarfs, we present a complete, precise definition of brown dwarfs and of planets inspired by the internal physics of objects between 0.1 and 0.001 M_sun. We discuss observational techniques for characterizing low-luminosity objects as brown dwarfs, including the use of the lithium test and cooling ...
