NICMOS Kernel-phase Interferometry. II. Demographics of Nearby Brown Dwarfs
Star formation theories have struggled to reproduce binary brown dwarf population demographics (e.g., frequency, separation, and mass ratio). Kernel-phase interferometry is sensitive to companions at separations inaccessible to classical imaging ...

A Search for L Dwarf Binary Systems [PDF]
We present analysis of HST Planetary Camera images of twenty L dwarfs identified in the course of the Two Micron All-Sky Survey. Four of the targets have faint, red companions at separations between 0.07 and 0.29 arcseconds (1.6 to 7.6 AU). In three cases, the bolometric magnitudes of the components differ by less than 0.3 magnitudes. Since the cooling

Structurally Defined Water‐Soluble Metallofullerene Derivatives towards Biomedical Applications
A modular metallobuckytrio (MBT) platform provides a family of structurally defined, water‐soluble metallofullerene derivatives that can safely carry rare‐earth elements in tailorable molecules, showing promise in biomedicines including MRI contrast agents and photosensitizers. Abstract Endohedral metallofullerenes (EMFs) are excellent carriers of rare‐

Excess infrared flux from white dwarf stars is likely to arise from a dusty debris disk or a cool companion. In this work, we present near-infrared spectroscopic observations with Keck/MOSFIRE, Gemini/GNIRS, and Gemini/Flamingos-2 of seven white dwarfs ...

Architecture of dwarf shrubs and dwarf subshrubs of the genus of Thymus L. and Scutellaria L. (Lamiaceae) [PDF]
The structure of 24 species of Thymus and 12 species of Scutellaria was studied using the architectural approach. For the first time, an architectural unit was described, it is a branched sympodial axis. The architectural unit consists of sympodial axes n+1 order, formation shoots, branching shoots, ephemerous shoots.

Popular political attitudes in Samoa: Findings of the Pacific Attitudes Survey
Abstract Popular political attitudes surveys have been conducted globally for several decades, but the Pacific region remains an exception. This paper presents the findings of the first Pacific Attitudes Survey (PAS), conducted in Samoa from December 2020‐January 2021.

SDSS J080531.84+481233.0: An Unresolved L Dwarf/T Dwarf Binary [PDF]
SDSS J080531.84+481233.0 is a peculiar L-type dwarf that exhibits unusually blue near-infrared and mid-infrared colors and divergent optical (L4) and near-infrared (L9.5) spectral classifications. These peculiar spectral traits have been variously attributed to condensate cloud effects or subsolar metallicity.

Embryonic cranial cartilage defects in the Fgfr3Y367C/+ mouse model of achondroplasia
Abstract Achondroplasia, the most common chondrodysplasia in humans, is caused by one of two gain of function mutations localized in the transmembrane domain of fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3) leading to constitutive activation of FGFR3 and subsequent growth plate cartilage and bone defects.

L and T dwarfs in Gaia/SIM [PDF]
AbstractWe discuss the role of distances for understanding brown dwarfs and estimate the contribution expected by Gaia. We show that Gaia will only observe 25% of L and T dwarfs within 50pc which, at a conservative estimate, amounts to less than 400 objects. We discuss how Gaia results will nevertheless aid the ground-based programs providing reliable,

L and T dwarfs in the Hyades and Ursa Major moving groups [PDF]
We have used the moving cluster method to identify three L dwarfs and one T dwarf in the Ursa Major/Sirius moving group (age 400 Myr). Five L dwarfs and two T dwarfs are found to belong to the Hyades moving group (age 625 Myr). These L and T dwarfs define 400- and 625- Myr empirical isochrones, assuming that they have the same age.
