The Natural Science Underlying Big History
The Scientific World Journal, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014 Nature’s many varied complex systems—including galaxies, stars, planets, life, and society—are islands of order within the increasingly disordered Universe. All organized systems are subject to physical, biological, or cultural evolution, which together comprise the grander interdisciplinary subject of cosmic evolution.

CCD SDSS gr Photometry of Poorly Studied Star Clusters in the Large Magellanic Cloud
International Scholarly Research Notices, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014 We present for the first time CCD SDSS gr photometry, obtained at the Gemini South telescope with the GMOS attached, of stars in the field of the poorly studied star clusters NGC1768, HS 85, SL 676, NGC2107, NGC2190, and SL 866, which are distributed in the main body of the Large Magellanic Cloud.

The Study of Nebular Emission on Nearby Spiral Galaxies in the IFU Era
Advances in Astronomy, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013 A new generation of wide‐field emission‐line surveys based on integral field units (IFU) is allowing us to obtain spatially resolved information of the gas‐phase emission in nearby late‐type galaxies, based on large samples of HII regions and full two‐dimensional coverage.

A Slowly Pulsating Run‐Away B Star at High Galactic Latitude Ejected From a Spiral Arm
Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 346, Issue 5, June 2025.ABSTRACT We report the discovery of the young B6 V run‐away star LAMOST J083323.18 + 430825.4, 2.5 kpc above the Galactic plane. Its atmospheric parameters and chemical composition are determined from LAMOST spectra, indicating normal composition. Effective temperature (Teff$$ {T}_{\mathrm{eff}} $$ = 14,500$$ \mathrm{14,500} $$ K) and gravity (logg ...

Studying the Interstellar Medium of H II/BCD Galaxies Using IFU Spectroscopy
Advances in Astronomy, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013 We review the results from our studies, and previous published work, on the spatially resolved physical properties of a sample of H ii/BCD galaxies, as obtained mainly from integral‐field unit spectroscopy with Gemini/GMOS and VLT/VIMOS. We confirm that, within observational uncertainties, our sample galaxies show nearly spatially constant chemical ...

Lactea: Web‐Based Spectrum‐Preserving Multi‐Resolution Visualization of the GAIA Star Catalog
Computer Graphics Forum, Volume 44, Issue 3, June 2025.Abstract The explosion of data in astronomy has resulted in an era of unprecedented opportunities for discovery. The GAIA mission's catalog, containing a large number of light sources (mostly stars) with several parameters such as sky position and proper motion, is playing a significant role in advancing astronomy research and has been crucial in ...

Advances in Astronomy, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013 We investigate the spatial distribution of chemical abundances in a sample of low metallicity Wolf‐Rayet (WR) galaxies selected from the SDSS. We used the integral field spectroscopy technique in the optical spectral range (3700 Å–6850 Å) with PMAS attached to the CAHA 3.5 m telescope.

Revisiting Variable Stars Near Globular Clusters South of −29° Declination
Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 346, Issue 2, February 2025.ABSTRACT We review an often‐cited but seldom‐accessed catalogue by Fourcade and Laborde (1966) of 785 variable stars near 47 southern Galactic globular clusters, and recover the locations of 85 stars that were not incorporated into subsequent variable star catalogues and hence have become “lost” to the literature.

AGN Obscuration and the Unified Model
Advances in Astronomy, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012 Unification Models of Active Galactic Nuclei postulate that all the observed differences between type 1 and type 2 objects are due to orientation effects with respect to the line of sight to the observer. The key ingredient of these models is the obscuring medium, historically envisaged as a toroidal structure on a parsec scale.
