The rise and fall of little red dots could be driven by the environment
Astronomy & AstrophysicsThe little red dot (LRD) paradigm comprises three main unknowns that are intrinsically connected: (1) What is the nature of these sources? (2) How do they form? (3) How do they evolve?

Interactive Computer Programs for Teaching Astronomy [PDF]
International Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1990 Astronomy is the most popular and oldest of all sciences and it has had profound influence on human thought. Unfortunately, astronomy does not find an appropriate place in our school-college syllabi. This may be due to the fact that teaching of astronomy encounters a large number of problems with regard to visualization and practical experiments ...

Astronomy Education Research Down Under [PDF]
, 2005 A review of research conducted in Australasia into students' concept development in astronomy identifies a number of learning difficulties pertinent to astronomy, such as the lack of prior knowledge, intuitive or naive beliefs, juxtaposition and frames ...

Probabilistic Neural Network Approach to Determining Parameters of Eclipsing Binaries
The Astronomical JournalEclipsing binaries provide one of the most direct mechanisms for measuring stellar properties such as mass and radius, but determining these properties has historically been nontrivial and computationally prohibitive.

Highlighting the history of French radio astronomy. 7. The genesis of the Institute of Radioastronomy at Millimeter wavelengths (IRAM) [PDF]
, 2011 Radio astronomy in France and in Germany started around 1950. France was then building interferometers and Germany large single dishes, so it was not unexpected that their first projects involving millimetre radio astronomy were respectively with an ...

Thermal Radiation Transport with Tensor Trains
The Astrophysical JournalWe present a novel tensor network algorithm to solve the time-dependent, gray thermal radiation transport equation. The method invokes a tensor train (TT) decomposition for the specific intensity.
