Red Giants in the Halo of the S0 Galaxy NGC 3115: A Distance and a Bimodal Metallicity Distribution [PDF]

open access: yes, 1996
Using the Hubble Space Telescope, we resolve the red giant branch in the halo of the S0 galaxy NGC 3115. We measure magnitudes and $(V-I)$ colours for stars down to 1.5 magnitudes below the tip of the red giant branch.

Asymmetric Image Encryption and Authentication Based on Equal Modulus Decomposition in the Fresnel Transform Domain

open access: yesIEEE Photonics Journal, 2019
A novel asymmetric image encryption and authentication scheme based on equal modulus decomposition (EMD) in the Fresnel transform domain is proposed. First, the Fresnel spectrum of the plaintext is sparsely sampled.

THE CARNEGIE HUBBLE PROGRAM: THE DISTANCE AND STRUCTURE OF THE SMC AS REVEALED BY MID-INFRARED OBSERVATIONS OF CEPHEIDS [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Using Spitzer observations of classical Cepheids we have measured the true average distance modulus of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) to be 18.96 ± 0.01 stat ± 0.03 sys ?> mag (corresponding to 62 ± 0.3 ?> kpc), which is 0.48 ± 0.01 mag more distant ...

Development of Ternary Magnesium Alloys for Laser Powder Bed Fusion: Optimizing Oxide Layer Thickness

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Additive manufacturing of magnesium alloys by laser is difficult because the melting point of the oxide layer is much higher than the evaporation temperature of the metal underneath. Making the oxide layer thinner can solve this problem. Alloying magnesium with strontium makes the oxide layer thinner, especially at 0.5 wt%.

New distances to RAVE stars [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Probability density functions are determined from new stellar parameters for the distance moduli of stars for which the RAdial Velocity Experiment (RAVE) has obtained spectra with S/N>=10.

Mechanisms of De‐icing by Surface Rayleigh and Plate Lamb Acoustic Waves

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Ice accretion impacts daily life, renewable energy generation, maintenance, and security in industries and aeronautics. Acoustic waves (AW) are a promising method for ice removal, although de‐icing mechanisms require further investigation to optimize energy efficiency.

Probing the distance-duality relation with high-z data [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Measurements of strong gravitational lensing jointly with type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) observations have been used to test the validity of the cosmic distance duality relation (CDDR), DL(z)/[(1+z)2DA(z)]=η=1, where DL(z) and DA(z) are the luminosity and ...

Bioinspired Design of Isotropic Lattices with Tunable and Controllable Anisotropy

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This study introduces nested isotropic lattices, integrating architectural elements like nesting orders and orientations inspired by bioarchitectures. The design enables tunable anisotropy across nine mono‐nest and twenty multi‐nest lattices with 252 parametric variations, demonstrating transitions from shear‐ to tensile‐compression‐dominant behaviors ...

Planetary nebulae in the elliptical galaxy NGC 821: kinematics and distance determination

open access: yes, 2010
Using a slitless spectroscopy method with the 8.2 m Subaru telescope and its FOCAS Cassegrain spectrograph, we have increased the number of planetary nebula (PN) detections and PN velocity measurements in the flattened elliptical galaxy NGC 821.
