Prospects of Stellar Abundance Studies from Near-IR Spectra Observed with the E-ELT
In 2006 ESO Council authorized a Phase B study of a European AO-telescope with a 42 m segmented primary with a 5-mirror design, the E-ELT. Several reports and working groups have already presented science cases for an E-ELT, specifically exploiting the ...

An IR Study of the Velocity Structure of the Cometary Compact HII region G29.96-0.02 [PDF]
We have mapped the velocity structure of the cometary compact HII region G29.96-0.02 using long-slit echelle spectra of the HI Br gamma line. This technique detects line emission over a much wider area at the necessary spatial resolution compared to ...

The Pt‐containing leachate solution obtained by a hydrometallurgical recovery route of spent diesel oxidation catalysts was successfully used to fabricate Pt/CeO2 catalysts. Dry reforming of methane and reverse water gas shift tests showed good conversion efficiencies, with negligible carbon deposition after ToS experiments of several hours.

The kinematics of the most oxygen-poor planetary nebula PN G135.9+55.9
PN G135.9+55.9 is a compact, high excitation nebula that has been identified recently as the most oxygen-poor halo planetary nebula. Given its very peculiar characteristics and potential implications in the realms of stellar and Galactic evolution ...

Lines and continuum sky emission in the near infrared: observational constraints from deep high spectral resolution spectra with GIANO-TNG [PDF]
Aims Determining the intensity of lines and continuum airglow emission in the H-band is important for the design of faint-object infrared spectrographs. Existing spectra at low/medium resolution cannot disentangle the true sky-continuum from instrumental

Elemental Analysis of Catalysts in a Fixed‐Bed Reactor by Laser‐Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy
The “Elemental Composition” provides information about promoters and poisons found in heterogeneous catalysts. Access to this piece of information under reaction conditions remains yet an unsolved challenge. This work explores the potential and limitations of laser‐induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) as an in situ reactor diagnostic technique ...

Spectropolarimetry of the Classical T Tauri Star TW Hydrae [PDF]
We present high resolution (R ~ 60,000) circular spectropolarimetry of the classical T Tauri star TW Hydrae. We analyze 12 photospheric absorption lines and measure the net longitudinal magnetic field for 6 consecutive nights.

Bubbling Water‐Treating DBD Plasma Device Optimization Using Experimental and Computational Methods
A dry air atmospheric pressure volume dielectric barrier discharge is employed to fix nitrogen in water. Producing nitrate for use as nitrogen fertilizer is the primary motivation. A 0D chemistry model is developed and informed by the electrical, and geometric characteristics of the device and the plasma gas temperature.
