Orbital Elements of Comet C/1490 Y1 and the Quadrantid shower

open access: yes, 2009
The Quadrantid shower, one of the most intense showers, has been observed at the beginning of January each year. However, the origin of the meteors is still unknown.

Fabry's Comet and Barnard's Comet [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 1886
NOT having seen any mention of the rapid apparent growth of the tail of Fabry's comet, probably some of your readers are not aware to how great a length it extended. On April 26 occurred the first fine night after a very unusual series of overcast ones, and about 14h. G.M.T. I was surprised to see the tail reaching up to, or at least to within 1° of δ,

A Different Perspective on the Solid Lubrication Performance of Black Phosphorous: Friend or Foe?

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Researchers investigate black phosphorous (BP) as a standalone solid lubricant coating through ball‐on‐disc linear‐reciprocating sliding experiments in dry conditions. Testing on different metals shows BP doesn't universally reduce friction and wear. However, it achieves 33% friction reduction on rougher iron surfaces and 23% wear reduction on aluminum.

An InSAR‐GNSS Velocity Field for Iran

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters
We present average ground‐surface velocities and strain rates for the 1.7 million km2 area of Iran, from the joint inversion of InSAR‐derived displacements and GNSS data.

Baseline monitoring of volcanic regions with little recent activity: application of Sentinel-1 InSAR to Turkish volcanoes

open access: yesJournal of Applied Volcanology, 2021
Volcanoes have dormancy periods that may last decades to centuries meaning that eruptions at volcanoes with no historical records of eruptions are common.

Additive Processing of Ti‐17 by Wire Arc Directed Energy Deposition: An Investigation of the Microstructure and Mechanical Properties

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This study focuses on processing the titanium alloy Ti‐17 using wire arc directed energy deposition (waDED), with an emphasis on the microstructure and mechanical properties. The waDED typical heat‐affected zone banding is characterized and related to the local mechanical properties.

Solar-insolation-induced changes in the coma morphology of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. Optical monitoring with the Nordic Optical Telescope [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Context. 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko (67P/C-G) is a short-period Jupiter family comet with an orbital period of 6.55 years. Being the target comet of ESA’s Rosetta mission, 67P/C-G has become one of the most intensively studied minor bodies of the Solar ...

Linking Heat Treatment to Plastic Deformation in Pearlitic Steels Through Mesoscale Modeling

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Surface wear on rail and wheel steels results from surface deformation during use. This research uses mathematical models to forecast the plastic behavior of pearlitic steels, connected to the microstructure formed during heat treatment. While the cooling rate impacts the steels’ strength, the size of prior austenite grains and blocks does not ...
