How to Make the Dream Come True: The Astronomers' Data Manifesto [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Astronomy is one of the most data-intensive of the sciences. Data technology is accelerating the quality and effectiveness of its research, and the rate of astronomical discovery is higher than ever. As a result, many view astronomy as being in a 'Golden

On the Age Distribution of Classical Cepheids in the Galaxy

open access: yesAstronomische Nachrichten, Volume 346, Issue 5, June 2025.
ABSTRACT We revisit the problem of the positive correlation between age and Galactocentric distance seen in Galactic Classical Cepheids, which at first sight may seem counter‐intuitive in the context of inside‐out galaxy formation. To explain it, we use the Besançon Galaxy Model and a simulation of star particles in the Galactic disc coupled with ...

Extragalactic HI Surveys at Arecibo: the Future [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Starting in the 1970s, the Arecibo 305m telescope has made seminal contributions in the field of extragalactic spectroscopy. With the Gregorian upgrade completed in the late 1990s, the telescope acquired a field of view.

Isolated Neutron Stars as Science Validation for XMM2ATHENA: Ensuring Robust Data for Future X‐Ray Astronomy

open access: yesAstronomische Nachrichten, Volume 346, Issue 3-4, March-May 2025.
ABSTRACT The discovery of radio‐quiet, x‐ray thermally emitting isolated neutron stars (XINSs) in the ROSAT All‐Sky Survey revealed a previously overlooked component of the neutron star population. Advancements in x‐ray instrumentation and the availability of deep, wide‐area optical surveys now enable us to explore XINSs at fainter x‐ray fluxes and ...

Beyond Accretion Limits: The Rise of Pulsating Gems

open access: yesAstronomische Nachrichten, Volume 346, Issue 1, January 2025.
ABSTRACT The discovery of several ultraluminous X‐ray sources exhibiting fast and rapidly evolving X‐ray pulsations unequivocally associates these sources with accreting neutron stars orbiting relatively massive companion stars (> 8M ⊙$$ {}_{\odot } $$).

Extragalactic Sources of TeV Gamma Rays: A Summary

open access: yes, 2003
The development of techniques whereby gamma rays of energy 100 GeV and above can be studied from the ground, using indirect, but sensitive, techniques has opened up a new area of high energy photon astronomy.

Modeling the Emission and Polarization Properties of Pulsating Ultraluminous X‐Ray Sources

open access: yesAstronomische Nachrichten, Volume 346, Issue 1, January 2025.
ABSTRACT Pulsating Ultraluminous X‐ray Sources (PULXs) are a class of extragalactic sources with high X‐ray luminosity, in excess of 1039$$ {10}^{39} $$ erg s−1$$ {\mathrm{s}}^{-1} $$, and showing pulsations that associate them with neutron stars accreting at a super‐Eddington rate.

Preimpact Detection of Chelyabinsk‐Type Objects in the Thermal Infrared: Possibilities and Limitations

open access: yesAdvances in Astronomy, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
The Chelyabinsk meteor entered Earth’s atmosphere on 15 February 2013, producing a shock wave that injured about 1500 people and damaged thousands of buildings. Despite its relatively large size (∼20 m), the progenitor asteroid approached Earth undetected. Its apparent radiant was too close to the Sun for standard ground‐based near‐Earth asteroid (NEA)

Opacity in compact extragalactic radio sources and its effect on astrophysical and astrometric studies

open access: yes, 2008
The apparent position of the "core" in a parsec-scale radio jet (a compact, bright emitting region at the narrow end of the jet) depends on the observing frequency, owing to synchrotron self-absorption and external absorption.
