Roberts of Lovedale and Eclipsing Binary Stars [PDF]

International Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1988
Alexander William Roberts, a great humanitarian and teacher in South Africa, was also a luminary in the astronomical world. This paper discusses his work on variable stars and touches briefly on his career in other areas. Born and educated in Scotland, Roberts migrated to South Africa in 1883, at age 25, to teach at the Native College at Lovedale.

Eclipsing Binary Stars in Nearby Galaxies [PDF]

Astrophysics and Space Science, 2006
We briefly discuss the survey programme we are conducting to detect eclipsing binaries in local group galaxies. Some lightcurves from studies of M31, IC 1613 and NGC 6822 are presented along with details of future work.

SDSS J0926+3624 : the shortest period eclipsing binary star [PDF]

, 2010
With orbital periods of the order of tens of minutes or less, the AM Canum Venaticorum stars are ultracompact, hydrogen-deficient binaries with the shortest periods of any binary subclass, and are expected to be among the strongest gravitational wave ...

Dielectric Elastomer Actuators as Safe and Effective Tools for Mechanostimulation of Human Cells

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Replicating physiological forces is crucial for realistic cell models. Dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs) offer a soft alternative, though their high voltages raised toxicity concerns. We demonstrate that DEA stimulation causes no cell damage, cell death or cell‐cycle disruption, while activating mechanosensitive responses.

The effect of tides on near-core rotation: analysis of 35 Kepler γ Doradus stars in eclipsing and spectroscopic binaries [PDF]

, 2020
We systematically searched for gravity- and Rossby-mode period spacing patterns in Kepler eclipsing binaries with γ Doradus pulsators. These stars provide an excellent opportunity to test the theory of tidal synchronization and angular momentum transport

New Light Curve Analysis for Large Numbers of Eclipsing Binaries I. Detached and Semi-Detached Binaries [PDF]

Journal of Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2010
Several survey observations have produced light curves of more than five thousand eclipsing binaries for last 15 years. Future missions such as the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST), the Panoramic Survey Telescope and Rapid Response System (Pan ...

‘Where are the adults?’: Troubling child‐activism and children's political participation

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Children's political participation is a well‐established theme in childhood studies. In this article we offer an original account of child activism that takes into account the entangled and emergent aspect of children as activists. We begin with a historical and a conceptual review, noting the importance of mid‐20th century developments such ...

β Cephei Pulsators in Eclipsing Binaries Observed with TESS

The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series
The combined strength of asteroseismology and empirical stellar basic parameter determinations for in-depth asteroseismic analysis of massive pulsators in eclipsing binaries shows great potential for treating the challenging and mysterious discrepancies ...
