The Lyα Sky as Observed by New Horizons at 57 au

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
During 2023 September the Alice ultraviolet spectrograph on the New Horizons (NH) spacecraft was used to map diffuse Lyα emission over most of the sky, at a range of ∼56.9 au from the Sun.

No “Maunder Minimum” Candidates in M67: Mitigating Interstellar Contamination of Chromospheric Emission Lines [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 2017
Abstract The solar analogs of M67 let us glimpse the probable behavior of the Sun on timescales surpassing the duration of human civilization. M67 can serve as a solar proxy because its stars share a similar age and composition with the Sun.

The Evolution of Emission Lines in HII Galaxies as a Probe of Interaction between Stellar and Interstellar Component [PDF]

open access: yesAstrophysics and Space Science, 2002
HII galaxies are powered by clusters of hot massive stars ionizing their environment. By considering HII galaxies in different evolutionary stages with respect to the most recent star formation event, one can get insight into their evolution and interaction with the interstellar medium.

From Flybys to Sample Return: A Review of Space Probes and Robotic Sampling Technologies for Small Bodies

open access: yesJournal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As a crucial puzzle piece of deep space exploration, exploring small bodies can provide significant scientific insights and valuable mineral resources. Unlike missions to the Moon and Mars, small‐body missions pose distinct technical challenges, including communication delays, weak gravity, and uncertain environments. This paper reviews a full

Evaluating maturity of organic matter in hydrated C1 and CM‐like clasts and a dehydrated clast within a polymict eucrite and a howardite

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Volatile‐rich xenolithic clasts in different types of brecciated meteorites represent unique pristine solar system material. This study investigates the maturity and thermal history of organic matter using Raman spectroscopy and aqueous alteration effects using infrared spectroscopy in the matrix of 15 volatile‐rich clasts (C1 and CM‐like ...

The location and kinematics of the emission line regions in Active Galactic Nuclei [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
This thesis contains the results from a study of the optical emission lines of various samples of active galactic nuclei (AGN). We have used three separate techniques to determine the precise kinematics and the relative location of the emission line ...

Detection of Helium Recombination Lines in the Cygnus X Diffuse Ionized Gas: Implications for Galactic Interstellar Medium Studies

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
We present the first detection of helium radio recombination lines (HeRRLs) at 800 MHz from the diffuse ionized gas (DIG) in the Cygnus X region, with an ionized helium-to-hydrogen ratio ( ${{n}}_{{\rm{H}}{\rm{e}}}^{+}/{{n}}_{{\rm{H}}}^{+}$ ) of 0.06 ± 0.

Vibrationally Resolved Absorption and Fluorescence Cross Sections of Adamantane in the Far-ultraviolet Spectral Range on an Absolute Scale

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2023
High-resolution absorption, dispersed fluorescence emission, and photoionization cross sections are presented for gas-phase adamantane excited by synchrotron radiation in the exciting-photon energy range of 6–30 eV. Relative and absolute absorption cross

Raman analysis of organic refractory materials after energetic processing: Evidence for amorphous carbon on TNOs and comets

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Amorphous carbon (αC) is found in various extraterrestrial particles, including those thought to originate from the outer Solar System. αC can form through two main processes involving C‐rich materials: exposure to energetic charged particles and thermal processing.

Optical polarimetry studies of Seyfert galaxies [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
Optical imaging polarimetry has been performed on seven nearby Seyfert galaxies, three with face-on and four with edge-on host galaxies of various morphological classifications.
