Zonal Winds in Titan’s Middle Atmosphere from a Stellar Occultation Observed with Keck Adaptive Optics

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal
We present spatially resolved Keck/NIRC2 images of a stellar occultation by Titan on 2022 September 5 and compare them to predictions from concurrent Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) observations and a suite of general circulation ...

Tracing the evolutionary history of the morpho‐anatomy of baculum in primates

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Animal morphology reflects both evolutionary history and present‐day adaptation. Male mammal copulatory structures such as the baculum (penile bone) are ideal for studying these processes because of their complexity and high interspecific variability. In primates, however, research has focused mostly on baculum length.

Solar Adaptive Optics

open access: yesLiving Reviews in Solar Physics, 2011
Adaptive optics (AO) has become an indispensable tool at ground-based solar telescopes. AO enables the ground-based observer to overcome the adverse effects of atmospheric seeing and obtain diffraction limited observations.

The Intracluster Light of Abell 3667: Unveiling an Optical Bridge in LSST Precursor Data

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
Intracluster light (ICL), the diffuse glow of stars stripped from galaxies during a cluster’s formation, is an established tracer of a cluster’s dynamical history. The upcoming Vera C.

Astronomy Education Research Down Under [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
A review of research conducted in Australasia into students' concept development in astronomy identifies a number of learning difficulties pertinent to astronomy, such as the lack of prior knowledge, intuitive or naive beliefs, juxtaposition and frames ...

Principal Component‐Based Classification of Blazar Candidates of Uncertain Type in the 4FGL/LAT

open access: yesAstronomische Nachrichten, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We adopted principal component analysis (PCA), linear discriminant analysis (LDA), and support vector machines (SVM), to study classification for a sample of 2708 Fermi blazars: 1142 BL Lac objects (BLLs), 759 flat spectrum radio quasars (FSRQs), and 807 blazar candidates of uncertain type (BCUs).

The Inka Khipu and Yupana: A Reply to Zen Vasconcellos and Rojas Gamarra (2026)

open access: yesAstronomische Nachrichten, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A new analysis by Zen Vasconcellos and Rojas Gamarra offers a novel interpretation of the Inka devices used for calculating (yupana) and recording (khipu) numbers. They claim the Inka devices represented numbers neither positionally, with place value, as most researchers have assumed, nor additively, without place value, a possibility uniquely
