Token‐based reviewer economies: Proposed institutions for managing the reviewer shortage problem
Abstract This opinion paper presents two proposed token‐based systems to fix the information system academy's review system. At present, the review system consumes more human resources than the information systems academy has by an order of magnitude. The cost of this overflow is borne entirely by information systems researchers.

Herschel* and JCMT observations of the early-type dwarf galaxy NGC 205 [PDF]
We present Herschel dust continuum, James Clerk Maxwell Telescope CO (3–2) observations and a search for [C II ] 158 forumla m and [O I ] 63 forumla m spectral line emission for the brightest early-type dwarf satellite of Andromeda, NGC 205. While direct

ABSTRACT Ornamental aquaculture and fishkeeping are very popular with millions of enthusiasts worldwide. The number of newly imported fish species for ornamental purposes grew slowly from World War I until the 1980s. It then exponentially increased until now with more than 7900 species and a large number of scientifically undescribed morphotypes.

The cosmological lithium problem outside the Galaxy: the Sagittarius globular cluster M54 [PDF]
The cosmological Li problem is the observed discrepancy between Li abundance (A(Li)) measured in Galactic dwarf, old and metal-poor stars (traditionally assumed to be equal to the initial value A(Li)0), and that predicted by standard big bang ...

Dwarf Galaxies as Cosmological Probes [PDF]
The Lambda Cold Dark Matter (LCDM) paradigm makes specific predictions for the abundance, structure, substructure and clustering of dark matter halos, the sites of galaxy formation. These predictions can be directly tested, in the low-mass halo regime, by dark matter-dominated dwarf galaxies.

Recent Developments in Degenerate Higher Order Scalar Tensor Theories
Degenerate Higher Order Scalar Tensor theories are reviewed, together with their applications in cosmology and astrophysics. These theories have been applied to build models of the early universe, in the description of the late‐time cosmic acceleration, as well as in astrophysics, including black hole physics. They have the potential to provide answers

A possible formation scenario for dwarf spheroidal galaxies - III. Adding star formation histories to the fiducial model [PDF]
Dwarf spheroidal galaxies are regarded as the basic building blocks in the formation of larger galaxies and are believed to be the most dark matter dominated systems known in the Universe. There are several models that attempt to explain their formation and evolution, but they have problems to model the formation of isolated dwarf spheroidal galaxies ...

JWST Imaging of the Closest Globular Clusters—V. The White Dwarfs Cooling Sequence of M4
ABSTRACT We combine infrared (IR) observations collected by the James Webb Space Telescope with optical deep images by the Hubble Space Telescope taken ~20 years earlier to compute proper‐motion membership for the globular cluster (GC) M4 (NGC 6121) along its entire white dwarf (WD) cooling sequence (CS).

The Distance to the Fornax Dwarf Galaxy Using Red Clump Stars and the Discrepancy between Red Clump and Tip of the Red Giant Branch Distances [PDF]
I determine a distance to the Fornax dwarf galaxy using stars in the red clump and at the tip of the red giant branch. They are in very good agreement, with μ0 = 20.66 mag.

INTEGRAL Observations of Magnetars
ABSTRACT The INTEGRAL satellite has collected a large amount of data on magnetars in our Galaxy, spanning more than 20 years starting from 2003. The large data set obtained with the IBIS/ISGRI instrument at energies above 20 keV allows us to study both the properties and long‐term evolution of their persistent hard X‐ray emission and the population ...
