Two Young Eclipsing Binaries in Orion with Temperatures and Radii Affected by Spots and Third Bodies

The Astronomical Journal
In this work we present a model of two young eclipsing binaries in the Orion complex. Both heavily spotted, they present radii and temperatures that are in disagreement with the predictions of standard stellar models.

Observations of Two Unusual Eclipsing Binaries, FN Cam and AG Vir

Open Astronomy, 2014
Based on the results of classification of eclipsing binaries, we have compiled a list of stars that are promising objects for future study. We have started an observational campaign with telescopes of the Kourovka Observatory, Russia and present the ...

Equal before time: on the sensory suspension of accumulated time in Sichuan, China Égaux devant le temps : suspension sensorielle du temps accumulé au Sichuan (Chine)

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
Food and alcohol indulgence, along with tea‐drinking, gambling, and gossip, are integral to a characteristically Sichuanese ethos of ‘life enjoyment’ (xiangshou shenghuo). Beyond mere pleasure, sensory, ludic, and comic experiences temporarily strip participants of both their formal and subjective qualities.

A Statistical Study of the O’Connell Effect in Eclipsing Binaries from the ASAS-SN Survey

The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series
The O’Connell effect is characterized by unequal maxima in the light curve of eclipsing binaries, while its physical origin remains unclear. The All-Sky Automated Survey for Supernovae provides more than a decade of all-sky monitoring data, including 154,

Eccentric Eclipsing Binary YY Sagittarii

Astrophysics and Space Science, 2006
Seven new precise times of minimum light have been gathered for the triple eccentric eclipsing binary YY Sgr (P = 2d.63, e = 0.16). Its O-C diagram is presented and improved elements of the apsidal motion and the light-time effect are given. We found a new short period of the third body of about 18.5 years in an eccentric orbit (e 3 ≃ 0.4).

Staging friendship: towards an anthropology of everyday geopolitics in South Asia L'amitié mise en scène : vers une anthropologie de la géopolitique du quotidien en Asie du Sud

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
This article studies Indian‐Bangladeshi friendship ethnographically, as a contested political imaginary, claim, and relation, from the vantage of its shared borderlands. Staging friendship, I show, is a geopolitical project that engages equally the highest echelons of the Indian and Bangladeshi states and ordinary residents of its marginalized ...

Unveiling Low-frequency Eclipses in Spider Millisecond Pulsars Using Wideband GMRT Observations

The Astrophysical Journal
Eclipses of radio emission have been reported for ∼58 spider millisecond pulsars (MSPs), of which only around 19% have been extensively studied. Such studies at low frequencies are crucial for probing the properties of the eclipse medium.

The Big Picture: Religion and Global Comparative History

Journal of Religious History, EarlyView.
This article considers what a ‘big picture’ approach to global religious history might look like, and in particular the implications of deploying the comparative method across much larger stretches of time and space than historians normally attend to. It will begin by reflecting on the epistemological moods that have hindered this project to date, the ...

Two hot pre-white dwarfs inside the red giant branch planetary nebula Pa 13

Astronomy & Astrophysics
The close binary central stars of planetary nebulae (PNe) offer a unique window for investigating the conditions that immediately follow the ejection of a common envelope (CE). Double-eclipsing and double-lined double systems are particularly valuable as

‘Sinister Indian‐like Half‐circle’: Tennis, Orientalism and the White Racial Frame in the Twentieth‐Century British Sporting Press

History, EarlyView.
Abstract Examining sport alongside race, media and imperial power opens a rich field for understanding how macro‐level ideologies are shaped and circulated through everyday cultural forms. In twentieth‐century Britain, mass media framed and distributed narratives that rendered the empire's political realities intelligible to a broad public.
