Long-Term Optical Photometry of the Dwarf Nova VW HYI [PDF]

International Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1987
AbstractLong-term five-colour photometry of the dwarf nova VW Hyi shows no evidence for a secular change of the flux during the quiescent interval between normal outbursts (3σ upper limits between 0.16 and 0.20 mag in the five passbands). However, the amplitudes in the orbital B-U and U-W colour curves change during quiescence.

The ORCA‐TWIN qCMOS Experiment I. Science Case and Commissioning at Calar Alto Observatory

Astronomische Nachrichten, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We describe a pilot study to explore a new generation of fast and low noise CMOS image sensors for time domain astronomy, using two remote telescopes with a baseline of 1635 km. The experiment involves direct imaging with novel qCMOS image sensor technology that combines fast readout with sub‐electron readout noise.

Optical Photometry of Flares and Flare Statistics [PDF]

International Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1983
This review discusses optical observations of flares and the results gleaned from these. Excellent reviews of flare activity have been published in the past and one might mention in particular Kunkel (1975), Gershberg (1978) and Gurzadyan (1980). In general these have been more broadly based than the present review incorporating other aspects of flare ...

Optical surface photometry of a sample of disk galaxies [PDF]

Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2001
This work presents the structural decomposition of a sample of 11 disk galaxies, which span a range of different morphological types. The U, B, V, R, and I photometric information given in Paper I (color and color-index images and luminosity, ellipticity, and position-angle profiles) has been used to decide what types of components form the galaxies ...

Revisiting Variable Stars Toward the Globular Cluster NGC 6496 With ATLAS and Gaia Photometry

Astronomische Nachrichten, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We revisit 13 variable stars in the field of the metal‐rich globular cluster NGC 6496, discovered by Abbas et al. (2015; Astronomical Journal 149:40) (hereafter referred to as “MA15”) via time‐series data, spanning 2 years. We improve upon the MA15 characterization of the variables using ATLAS time‐series photometry data, spanning 8 years, in ...

Flickers, Bursts, and Dips: Detecting Rapid Variability with the g(2) Autocorrelation Function

The Astrophysical Journal
Rapid optical transient events can be hard to detect because of the limited number of photons they produce. I discuss a method of inferring the presence of fast, chaotic variability in photometry using the normalized autocorrelation function, what is ...

Ex vivo liquid core fiber photometry with high-resolution 3D printing

Sensors and Actuators Reports
High resolution 3D printing emerges as an alternative to microfabrication due to its fine resolution along with one-step manufacturing. Thus, it is broadly used in many fields, such as biological and chemical applications.

Status and future of recombinant adeno‐associated virus vector manufacturing

Biotechnology Progress, EarlyView.
Abstract Sixty years of adeno‐associated virus (AAV) research illustrates a trajectory marked by basic science exploration, iterative innovation, persistent challenges, a number of clinical setbacks, as well as commercial therapeutic triumphs. This continual evolution has led to recombinant AAV (rAAV) becoming a cornerstone of modern gene therapy ...

New Astronomical Observatory Design for the Detection and Tracking of Satellite Objects: The Satellite Robotic Observatory (SRO)

Remote Sensing
Robotic Astronomical Observatories (RAOs) have provided very good results in different research projects in astrophysics/astronomy. Their applications in the detection, tracking, and identification of near-Earth objects have contributed to the ...

Effects of Dehulling and Extrusion‐Cooking on the Nutritional and Physicochemical Properties of Navy Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) Flours

ChemFoodChem, EarlyView.
Dehulling combined with twin‐screw extrusion improves the nutritional and functional properties of steam treated navy beans. Protein digestibility increases while phytic acid is reduced by 43% and trypsin inhibitors are inactivated. Enhanced expansion, solubility, and sensory quality highlight the potential of dehulled bean flours for developing ...
