Abstract The 2016 Brexit referendum was a watershed moment for the politicisation of the European Union (EU) in the United Kingdom. Much has been written about the politicising effects of the referendum, along with the Leave result's subsequent contestation in the media as well as in national and European election cycles.

Study of Cataclysmic Variables with the Satellites LOFT and Gaia
The goal of this paper is to discuss the capabilities of ESA satellite missions Gaia (already in space) and LOFT (considered for the ESA M4 slot) for investigation of cataclysmic variables (CVs).

POISONOUS IMAGES: Taranto's Environmental Crisis between the Visible and the Invisible
ABSTRACT This article explores poisonous images—images that both register and trouble the visibility of toxicity in Taranto, Italy, one of Europe's most polluted cities due to the continent's largest steel factory. Centered on photographs taken in the city's contaminated cemetery, the essay asks how slow violence can be apprehended ethnographically ...

Doppler tomography of cataclysmic variables
AbstractThe study of cataclysmic variables (CVs), and in particular of the evolution of their accretion discs throughout their different brightness states, has benefited largely from the use of indirect imaging techniques. I report on the latest results obtained from Doppler tomography of CVs concentrating mainly on results published since the 2000 ...

A strike for democracy? Migration, the bigot's veto, and the electoral use of force
Abstract Politicians and philosophers alike have warned that the spread of anti‐migrant bigotry in the Western world requires a tragic trade‐off regarding immigration policy: Although millions of asylum‐seekers might be owed admission to Western democracies, there are many cases where they nonetheless ought to be denied entry, because their admission ...

ABSTRACT Corruption is a major problem that undermines the foundations of democracy and reduces citizens' trust in institutions. However, even in the world's most advanced countries, citizens accept certain levels of corruption. This tolerance towards corruption (TC) reduces the impact of anti‐corruption actions and ends up giving a patina of normality

Spectroscopic Follow-up on Potential Magnetic Cataclysmic Variables
Spectroscopic observations of nine cataclysmic variables that have been postulated to contain magnetic white dwarfs were obtained to further characterize their classifications, orbital parameters, inclinations, and/or accretion properties.

Fermi-LAT detections of the classical novae V1723 Sco and V6598 Sgr in a multi-wavelength context
Context. Numerous classical novae have been observed to emit γ-rays (E > 100 MeV) detected by the Fermi-LAT. The prevailing hypothesis attributes this emission to the interaction of accelerated particles within shocks in the nova ejecta.
