New Conceptional Study of a Portable Highly Sensitive Photometric Raman Sensor
Quality control and reaction monitoring are necessary to ensure the consistency of any kind of mixing or reaction process. In this context, a novel portable high-sensitivity sensor prototype based on the Raman effect is presented in this study.

Galactic reddening in 3D from stellar photometry – an improved map [PDF]
We present a new 3D map of interstellar dust reddening, covering three quarters of the sky (declinations of δ ≳ −30°) out to a distance of several kiloparsecs. The map is based on high-quality stellar photometry of 800 million stars from Pan-STARRS 1 and

The fourth data release of the Kilo-Degree Survey: ugri imaging and nine-band optical-IR photometry over 1000 square degrees [PDF]
Context. The Kilo-Degree Survey (KiDS) is an ongoing optical wide-field imaging survey with the OmegaCAM camera at the VLT Survey Telescope, specifically designed for measuring weak gravitational lensing by galaxies and large-scale structure.

The CANDELS/SHARDS Multiwavelength Catalog in GOODS-N: Photometry, Photometric Redshifts, Stellar Masses, Emission-line Fluxes, and Star Formation Rates [PDF]
We present a WFC3 F160W (H-band) selected catalog in the CANDELS/GOODS-N field containing photometry from the ultraviolet (UV) to the far-infrared (IR), photometric redshifts, and stellar parameters derived from the analysis of the multiwavelength data ...

SPARC: MASS MODELS FOR 175 DISK GALAXIES WITH SPITZER PHOTOMETRY AND ACCURATE ROTATION CURVES [PDF]
We introduce SPARC (Spitzer Photometry and Accurate Rotation Curves): a sample of 175 nearby galaxies with new surface photometry at 3.6 μm and high-quality rotation curves from previous H i/Hα studies.

Massive Stars as the Radiant Queens of the Universe—The Case of ζ Puppis
Since the Cosmic Dawn, massive stars have been playing a crucial role as the chemical recycling engines of galaxies that enable the birth of new stars and planetary systems, not only through the strong winds that they exhibit during their relatively ...

Photometry as a Proxy for Stellar Activity in Radial Velocity Analyses [PDF]
Stellar activity remains a limiting factor in measuring precise planet parameters from radial velocity spectroscopy, not least in the search for Earth-mass planets orbiting in the habitable zones of Sun-like stars.
