Ryugu Reference Project: Recommendations from the Measurement Definition Team

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Sample return missions play a significant role in planetary science by providing pristine extraterrestrial materials. JAXA's Hayabusa2 and NASA's OSIRIS‐REx missions have returned samples from the C‐type asteroids Ryugu and Bennu, respectively. The chemical and mineralogical compositions of these samples closely resemble those of CI chondrites,

Automation and Augmentation in Theological Perspective

Modern Theology, EarlyView.
Abstract AI enables forms of automation that threaten unemployment and deskilling, eliminating important opportunities for the development of virtue. The concomitant loss of virtue and meaningful employment makes it a theological problem from the perspective of Catholic social teaching and theological anthropology.

Stellar streams around dwarf galaxies in the local Universe

Astronomy & Astrophysics
Context. While mergers between massive galaxies and their dwarf satellites have been well studied, the properties of dwarf–dwarf satellite mergers are not well constrained.

Challenges in Bringing Pangenome Research Into Breeding: A Case Study in Rice

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Crop breeding has entered the pangenomics era, unlocking a far more comprehensive view of genetic diversity than a single reference genome can capture. In rice (Oryza sativa), a staple crop critical to global food security, the construction of pangenome resources has uncovered extensive structural variations (SVs), presence/absence variations (

Spatially Offset Active Galactic Nuclei in the Very Large Array Sky Survey: Tracers of Galaxy Mergers and Wandering Massive Black Holes

The Astrophysical Journal
The remnants of galaxy mergers may host multiple off-nuclear massive black holes (MBHs), some of which may wander indefinitely within the host galaxy halos. Tracing the population of offset MBHs is essential for understanding how the distribution of MBHs

Cerebrovascular pulsatility following long duration spaceflight is associated with changes in pulse pressure and carotid artery stiffness

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Central artery stiffening increases the haemodynamic pulsations transmitted downstream towards target organs, including the brain. While recent evidence suggests that long duration spaceflight is associated with reduced common carotid artery (CCA) distensibility, cerebrovascular pulsatility has not been extensively characterized in astronauts.

Spaceborne and spaceborn: Physiological aspects of pregnancy and birth during interplanetary flight

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Crewed interplanetary return missions that are on the planning horizon will take years, more than enough time for initiation and completion of a pregnancy. Pregnancy is viewed as a sequence of processes – fertilization, blastocyst formation, implantation, gastrulation, placentation, organogenesis, gross morphogenesis, birth and neonatal ...

Merging Gas-rich Galaxies That Harbor Low-luminosity Twin Quasars at z = 6.05: A Promising Progenitor of the Most Luminous Quasars

The Astrophysical Journal
We present Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array [C ii ] 158 μ m line and underlying far-IR continuum emission observations (0.″57 × 0.″46 resolution) toward a quasar–quasar pair system recently discovered at z = 6.05. The quasar nuclei (C1 and C2)

The zCOSMOS redshift survey : Influence of luminosity, mass and environment on the galaxy merger rate

, 2011
The contribution of major mergers to galaxy mass assembly along cosmic time is an important ingredient to the galaxy evolution scenario. We aim to measure the evolution of the merger rate for both luminosity/mass selected galaxy samples and investigate ...

Mechanisms Affecting Galaxies Nearby and Environmental Trends (MAGNET)

Astronomy & Astrophysics
Galaxy evolution is profoundly shaped by intricate internal and external mechanisms that regulate the baryon cycle and star formation activity. To characterize the role of these processes as a function of galaxy environment, we present a theoretical ...
