The Age-dependent Vertical Actions of Young Stars in the Galaxy

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Stars in the Galactic disk are born on cold, nearly circular orbits with small vertical excursions. After their birth, their orbits evolve, driven by small- or large-scale perturbations in the Galactic disk’s gravitational potential.

Spaceborne and spaceborn: Physiological aspects of pregnancy and birth during interplanetary flight

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Crewed interplanetary return missions that are on the planning horizon will take years, more than enough time for initiation and completion of a pregnancy. Pregnancy is viewed as a sequence of processes – fertilization, blastocyst formation, implantation, gastrulation, placentation, organogenesis, gross morphogenesis, birth and neonatal ...

The turbulent formation of stars

open access: yes, 2018
How stars are born from clouds of gas is a rich physics problem whose solution will inform our understanding of not just stars but also planets, galaxies, and the universe itself. Star formation is stupendously inefficient. Take the Milky Way. Our galaxy

Simulating Atomic Dark Matter in Milky Way Analogs

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023
Dark sector theories naturally lead to multicomponent scenarios for dark matter where a subcomponent can dissipate energy through self-interactions, allowing it to efficiently cool inside galaxies.

The Bochum Survey of the Southern Galactic Disk: III. Complete Data Release

open access: yesAstronomische Nachrichten, Volume 347, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT The Southern Galactic Disk Survey (GDS) monitored a mosaic of 268 fields along a 6°$$ {6}^{{}^{\circ}} $$‐wide stripe in the southern Galactic disk with simultaneous observations in r′$$ {r}^{\prime } $$ and i′$$ {i}^{\prime } $$ (7m≲r′,i′≲18m$$ {7}^{\mathrm{m}}\lesssim {r}^{\prime },{i}^{\prime}\lesssim {18}^{\mathrm{m}} $$) from September ...

The shapes of Milky Way satellites: looking for signatures of tidal stirring [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
We study the shapes of Milky Way satellites in the context of the tidal stirring scenario for the formation of dwarf spheroidal galaxies. The standard procedures used to measure shapes involve smoothing and binning of data and thus may not be sufficient ...

Intergalactic Wandering Stars in the Local Universe: Theoretical Predictions for Their Distance and Luminosity Distribution

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Intergalactic wandering stars (IWSs) within 10 Mpc remain a poorly explored area of astronomy. Such stars, if they exist, are supposed to be wandering objects as they are not bound by the gravitational potential of any galaxy.

Constraints on the Frequency and Mass Content of r-process Events Derived from Turbulent Mixing in Galactic Disks

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Metal-poor stars in the Milky Way (MW) halo display large star-to-star dispersion in their r -process abundance relative to lighter elements. This suggests a chemically diverse and unmixed interstellar medium (ISM) in the early universe.

Human Eye Visualization With an Attention Mechanism: Enhancing Flower Detection and Classification With Visual Attention and Photometric Principles Inspired by Human Vision

open access: yesEngineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 3, March 2026.
The graphical abstract illustrates a flower classification model relying on the human visual system. The model captures images, simulates visual attention and photometric perception, extracts features of shape and color, and classifies flowers by using an optimized neural network that enhances recognition accuracy by mimicking the human eye's focusing ...

The Structure, Populations, and Kinematics of the Milky Way Central and Inner Bulge with OGLE, APOGEE, and Gaia Data

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We present an analysis of the structure, kinematics, and chemo-dynamical properties of the Milky Way bulge using RR Lyrae stars from Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment (OGLE), and giant stars from APOGEE and Gaia that have distances placing them in
