Abstract Microgravity is associated with stature increases, back pain and post‐flight intervertebral disc (IVD) herniation. This study aims to determine whether 30 s seated 50% body weight (BW) axial loading is comparable to 15 min sitting upright in 1 g upon changes in stature, anterior lumbar IVD height (via ultrasound), passive vertebral stiffness ...

Three contributions to Galaxy Dynamics: distant galaxy kinematics, mass, and M/L
1) Rotation Curves and M/L Evolution for Galaxies to z=0.4, (Bershady, Haynes, Giovanelli, & Andersen) 2) Mass Estimates of Starbursting Galaxies: Line Widths versus Near-IR Luminosities (Jangren, Bershady, & Gronwall) 3) Galaxy Kinematics with Integral Field Spectroscopy (Andersen, Bershady)

The ORCA‐TWIN qCMOS Experiment I. Science Case and Commissioning at Calar Alto Observatory
ABSTRACT We describe a pilot study to explore a new generation of fast and low noise CMOS image sensors for time domain astronomy, using two remote telescopes with a baseline of 1635 km. The experiment involves direct imaging with novel qCMOS image sensor technology that combines fast readout with sub‐electron readout noise.

Latitude Survey of Neutrons and Muons to Determine Cosmic Ray Neutron Sensing Yield Functions
Abstract Cosmic Ray Neutron Sensing (CRNS) is a ground‐based technique that utilizes epithermal neutron measurements as a proxy for environmental hydrogen content. Similarly to other ground‐based cosmic ray detectors (e.g., neutron monitors), CRNS detectors are affected by the solar cycle and space weather events.

A Dynamical and Kinematic Model of the Galactic Stellar Halo and Possible Implications for Galaxy Formation Scenarios [PDF]
We re-analyse the kinematics of the system of blue horizontal branch field (BHBF) stars in the Galactic halo (in particular the outer halo), fitting the kinematics with the model of radial and tangential velocity dispersions in the halo as a function of galactocentric distance r proposed by Sommer-Larsen, Flynn & Christensen (1994), using a much ...

Abstract The period from 1 to 14 May 2024 was marked by some of the most intense solar activity of Solar Cycle 25, including multiple X‐class flares, fast coronal mass ejections (CMEs), and diverse solar radio emissions. We present observations from the Mexican e‐Callisto network (REC‐Mx), including long‐duration continuum emissions (CTMs), Type II ...

A Dialogue on Revolutions and Revolutionaries in Science: A Perspective From Quantum Mechanics
ABSTRACT We discuss the notions of scientific revolutions and revolutionaries in the context of the Relativity Revolution and of the First, Second, and Third Quantum Revolutions. We conclude that at the core of the question of what qualifies as a revolution and revolutionary is an assessment of the gradients of knowledge accumulation over time, both at

Terrestrial Analogs to Titan for Geophysical Research
Abstract Saturn's moon Titan exhibits remarkable parallels to the Earth in many geophysical and geological processes not found elsewhere in the solar system at the present day. These include a nitrogen atmosphere with a condensible gas—methane—replacing the Earth's water, leading to an active meteorology with rainfall and surface manifestations ...

From nearby to distant galaxies: kinematical and dynamical studies
Kinematical studies of low and high redshift galaxies enables to probe galaxy formation and evolution scenarios. Integral field spectroscopy is a powerful tool to study with accuracy nearby galaxies kinematics. Recent observations also gives a new 2D vision of high redshift galaxies kinematics.
