The Phanerozoic climate. [PDF]
Ann N Y Acad Sci, 2023 We review the long‐term climate variations during the last 540 million years (Phanerozoic Eon). We first summarize the geological and geochemical datasets available for reconstruction of long‐term climate variations. We then explore the main drivers of climate that appear to explain a large fraction of these climatic oscillations. The first is the long‐

Light Curve Analyses of the Eclipsing Binary EROS 1010 in the Large Magellanic Cloud [PDF]
Journal of Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2009 We present BV light curves of EROS 1010 which is located in the central bar of the Large Magellanic Cloud. The BV light curves including BR and I light curves observed by the EROS and OGLE projects, have been analyzed using the 2005 version of the Wilson

Magellanic Clouds Cepheids: Thorium Abundances [PDF]
Journal of Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2018 The analysis of the high-resolution spectra of 31 Magellanic Clouds Cepheid variables enabled the identification of thorium lines. The abundances of thorium were found with spectrum synthesis method. The calculated thorium abundances exhibit correlations

CCD imagers for the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite from benchtop to space environment
Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 344, Issue 8-9, October-November 2023., 2023 Abstract The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) is a Massachusetts Institute of Technology‐led NASA Explorer‐class mission planned to spend 2 years discovering transiting exoplanets by an all‐sky survey. The observatory contains four wide field‐of‐view camera systems for a total of 16.8 Megapixel, low‐noise, low‐power CCD detectors.

LRO‐LAMP Lunar South Pole Cold Traps: Assessment of H2O and Potential CO2 and NH3 Reserves
Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 128, Issue 8, August 2023., 2023 Abstract Nighttime Lyman Alpha Mapping Project (LAMP) observations are used to investigate condensed volatiles at the south polar region of the Moon. This study incorporates LAMP data from the first ∼7 years of the mission and Diviner annual maximum temperatures to search for volatile signatures associated with H2O, NH3, and CO2. Other stable potential
