Solar and stellar photospheric abundances

Living Reviews in Solar Physics, 2016
The determination of photospheric abundances in late-type stars from spectroscopic observations is a well-established field, built on solid theoretical foundations.

Vision at high latitudes: High sensitivity without specific boreal adaptations in photoreception in reindeer (Rangifer tarandus L.)

Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 10, Page 2573-2587, October 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The light climate at high latitudes, in particular the extended twilight of winter and the reduced diel variation in light level in midsummer and midwinter, potentially constrains visual function and the synchronisation of temporal organisation in polar species. In this

UV–Vis Spectra of Carbonic Acid: Rationalizing Experimental Redshifts between Monomer and Bulk based on (H2CO3)n Calculations

ChemPhysChem, Volume 26, Issue 18, September 19, 2025.
In bulk carbonic acid (e.g., in interstellar icy dust grains) cluster formation produces two distinct UV‐Vis spectral features redshifted by ≈2 eV (25 nm) and by ≈5 eV (80 nm) compared to gas phase single molecule carbonic acid 's adiabatic ionization energy. Theory and experiment were used to investigate the origin of these shifts.

Sgr A* Spin and Mass Estimates through the Detection of Multiple Extremely Large Mass Ratio Inspirals

The Astrophysical Journal
We analyze the parameter estimation accuracy that can be achieved for the mass and spin of Sgr A*, the supermassive black hole in our Galactic center, by detecting multiple extremely large mass ratio inspirals (XMRIs).

Gravity Wave Variability in the Arctic Winter Mesosphere in Relation With the Stratospheric Polar Vortex

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 130, Issue 16, 28 August 2025.
Abstract In this study, we have investigated short‐period (< ${< } $1 hr) atmospheric gravity waves (AGWs) in the Arctic mesosphere‐lower thermosphere (MLT) region during January of 2014, 2015, and 2016. We used OH (3,1) band emission data from the Advanced Mesospheric Temperature Mapper (AMTM) at the Arctic Lidar Observatory for Middle Atmosphere ...

Dissipative Dark Matter on FIRE. II. Observational Signatures and Constraints from Local Dwarf Galaxies

The Astrophysical Journal
We analyze the first cosmological baryonic zoom-in simulations of galaxies in dissipative self-interacting dark matter (dSIDM). The simulations utilize the FIRE-2 galaxy formation physics with the inclusion of dissipative dark matter self-interactions ...

Photometric Analysis of 30 Contact Binaries in M31

The Astrophysical Journal
M31, as the largest galaxy in the Local Group, is of significant importance for the study of stellar formation and evolution. Based on the data of 5859 targets observed in M31 by Gu et al., we selected 30 contact binaries by visual inspection for further

Breaking Down the CosmoGEMS: Toward Modeling and Understanding Globular Cluster Stellar Streams in a Fully Cosmological Context

The Astrophysical Journal
Next-generation surveys are expected to uncover thousands of globular cluster (GC) stellar streams, motivating the need for a theoretical framework that produces realistic GC streams in a fully cosmological, Milky Way–like environment.
