A Comparative Study of VTEC Estimates Derived From S/X VLBI and VGOS Observations

open access: yesSpace Weather, Volume 23, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract The ionosphere, which strongly varies in time and space, is one of the largest error sources for microwave measurements, if not accounted for accurately. Especially for single‐frequency observations, precise ionospheric models are needed to correct for the ionospheric delays. This study explores the utility of Very Long Baseline Interferometry

HST Astrometry of M4 and the Galactic Constant V_0/R_0

open access: yes, 2003
From multi-epoch WFPC2/HST observations we present astrometric measurements of stars in the Galactic globular cluster M4 (NGC 6121) and in the foreground/background. The presence of an extragalactic point source allows us to determine the absolute proper

HEAD IN THE STARS, FEET ON THE GROUND: Scale and Astronomy Initiatives in Southern Africa

open access: yesCultural Anthropology, Volume 40, Issue 4, Page 571-596, November 2025.
ABSTRACT This article explores the evolution of radio astronomy in South Africa and Madagascar, focusing on how “scale” functions as both a way of understanding the world and marking differences in existence. In outer space research, the ground is crucial but often overlooked.

Measurement of the Cosmic Optical Background using the Long Range Reconnaissance Imager on New Horizons

open access: yes, 2017
The cosmic optical background is an important observable that constrains energy production in stars and more exotic physical processes in the universe, and provides a crucial cosmological benchmark against which to judge theories of structure formation ...

Deep Space Network Radio Science and Ground‐Based Planetary Radar in the Next Decade

open access: yesRadio Science, Volume 60, Issue 7, July 2025.
Abstract The Deep Space Network (DSN) has been a core operational element of NASA's crewed and robotic exploration of the Solar System since the early 1960s. The primary role of the DSN has been to acquire telemetry and navigation data, but over the years, its radiometric and radar capabilities have expanded to form a system for obtaining unique ...

Improved GALEX UV Photometry for 700,000 SDSS Galaxies

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2023
The Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) satellite performed the first and only large-area UV survey, which in tandem with the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) has facilitated modeling of the spectral energy distributions of low-redshift galaxies and the ...

Apart Cen A are UHECR mostly heavy radioactive and galactic nuclei?

open access: yes, 2012
Earliest AUGER UHECR anisotropy correlated with AGN within a GZK Universe almost fade away. Recent UHECR mass compositions did show a negligible nucleon composition and an UHECR nuclei (light or heavy) signature.

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 ...

Deconvolving X-Ray Galaxy Cluster Spectra Using a Recurrent Inference Machine

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
Recent advances in machine learning algorithms have unlocked new insights in observational astronomy by allowing astronomers to probe new frontiers. In this article, we present a methodology to disentangle the intrinsic X-ray spectrum of galaxy clusters ...

Galactic and Extragalactic Samples of Supernova Remnants: How They Are Identified and What They Tell Us

open access: yes, 2017
Supernova remnants (SNRs) arise from the interaction between the ejecta of a supernova (SN) explosion and the surrounding circumstellar and interstellar medium. Some SNRs, mostly nearby SNRs, can be studied in great detail. However, to understand SNRs as
