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

The Central Engine of Low-luminosity Radio Galaxy 3C 270 (NGC 4261)

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We present the polarization spectra of the nucleus of 3C 270. We confirm that the polarization angles of both the continuum and the emission lines are close to perpendicular to the jet direction after careful correction of interstellar polarization ...

On the Nature of Low‐Luminosity Narrow‐Line Active Galactic Nuclei [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2003
There is clear observational evidence that some narrow-line (type 2) active galactic nuclei (AGNs) have a hidden broad-line region (BLR) and are thus intrinsically broad-line (type 1) AGNs. Does this AGN unification apply for all type 2 AGNs? Indirect arguments suggest that some "true" type 2 AGNs, i.e., AGNs having no obscured BLR, do exist, but it is

Discovery of five low-luminosity active galactic nuclei at the centre of the Perseus cluster [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2016
According to optical stellar kinematics observations, an over-massive black hole candidate has been reported by van den Bosch et al. (2012) in the normal early-type galaxy NGC 1277. This galaxy is located in the central region of the Perseus cluster. Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope (WSRT) observations have shown that NGC 1277 and other early-type ...

Modular training resources for bioimage analysis

open access: yesJournal of Microscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Modern microscopy enables us to measure structural and dynamical properties of many biological processes and is therefore an indispensable research tool. However, the amount and complexity of the produced imaging data is steadily increasing.

ON THE DISAPPEARANCE OF THE BROAD-LINE REGION IN LOW-LUMINOSITY ACTIVE GALACTIC NUCLEI: THE ROLE OF THE OUTFLOWS FROM ADVECTION DOMINATED ACCRETION FLOWS

open access: yes, 2010
The broad-line region (BLR) disappears in many low-luminosity active galactic nuclei (AGNs), the reason of which is still controversial. The BLRs in AGNs are believed to be associated with the outflows from the accretion disks. Most of the low-luminosity

Evidence of a Forming Nucleus in the Fourcade–Figueroa Galaxy

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We analyze data from the IRAS, Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, and Planck satellites, revealing an unresolved dust condensation at the center of the Fourcade–Figueroa galaxy (ESO270-G017), which may correspond to a forming nucleus.

A Candidate for the Least-massive Black Hole in the First 1.1 Billion Years of the Universe

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023
We report a candidate of a low-luminosity active galactic nucleus (AGN) at z = 5 that was selected from the first near-infrared images of the JWST CEERS project.

Thermal histories of El Médano 300 (EM 300) and Northwest Africa 8155 (NWA 8155): Implications for the diversity of IAB‐ungrouped iron meteorites and their parent bodies

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract This study provides the first petrographic, crystallographic, and chemical comparison between El Médano 300 (EM 300) and Northwest Africa 8155 (NWA 8155), two particular IAB‐ungrouped iron meteorites. Both contain exceptionally large graphite nodules and “flowers”, providing unique insights into carbon behavior in metallic melts and cooling ...

Investigating Model Dependencies for Obscured Active Galactic Nuclei: A Case Study of NGC 3982

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
X-ray spectroscopy of heavily obscured active galactic nuclei (AGN) offers a unique opportunity to study the circumnuclear environment of accreting supermassive black holes.
