The Martian interaction with the solar wind leads to the formation of a bow shock upstream of the planet. The shock dynamics appear complex, due to the combined influence of external and internal drivers.

The Metal-Poor IMF, Stellar Evolution, and Star Formation Histories [PDF]
AbstractI present an introduction to three important subjects relevant to low metallicity star formation: the IMF, stellar evolution, and star formation histories. I will draw on observations from the LCID (Local Cosmology from Isolated Dwarfs) project to illustrate some of these topics.

SWMF simulation of field-aligned currents for a varying northward and duskward IMF with nonzero dipole tilt [PDF]
This study concentrates on the FACs distribution for the varying northward and duskward interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) conditions when the dipole tilt is nonzero. A global MHD simulation (the Space Weather Modeling Framework, SWMF) has been used

Micro-spectroscopic and freezing characterization of ice-nucleating particles collected in the marine boundary layer in the eastern North Atlantic [PDF]
Formation of atmospheric ice plays a crucial role in the microphysical evolution of mixed-phase and cirrus clouds and thus climate. How aerosol particles impact ice crystal formation by acting as ice-nucleating particles (INPs) is a subject of intense ...

Infall Models of Elliptical Galaxies: Further Evidence for a Top-Heavy Initial Mass Function [PDF]
Chemical and photometric models of elliptical galaxies with infall of primordial gas, and subsequent ejection of processed material via galactic winds, are described.

Gravitational waves from mergers of Population III binary black holes: roles played by two evolution channels [PDF]
The gravitational wave (GW) signal from binary black hole (BBH) mergers is a promising probe of Population III (Pop III) stars. To fully unleash the power of the GW probe, one important step is to understand the relative importance and features of ...

Intramuscular fat (IMF) content depends on sex, genotype and diet and varies with pig growth. The aim of the present work was to determine the evolution of IMF by genotype-sex, muscle and muscle location, to determine relationships between IMF content of

ZFIRE: Using H$\alpha$ equivalent widths to investigate the in situ initial mass function at z~2 [PDF]
We use the ZFIRE survey (http://zfire.swinburne.edu.au) to investigate the high mass slope of the initial mass function (IMF) for a mass-complete (log10(M$_*$/M$_\odot$)~9.3) sample of 102 star-forming galaxies at z~2 using their H$\alpha$ equivalent ...

On the variation of the Initial Mass Function [PDF]
(shortened) In this contribution an average or Galactic-field IMF is defined, stressing that there is evidence for a change in the power-law index at only two masses: near 0.5 Msun and 0.08 Msun.

A Possible Solution for the $M/L-\mathrm{[Fe/H]}$ Relation of Globular Clusters in M31. II. the Age-Metallicity Relation [PDF]
This is the second of a series of papers in which we present a new solution to reconcile the prediction of single stellar population (SSP) models with the observed stellar mass-to-light ($M/L$) ratios of globular clusters (GCs) in M31 and its trend with ...
