Brown dwarfs in wide-field surveys

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2011
In this invited talk, I briefly summarise early photometric and proper motion surveys carried out in the nearest and youngest open clusters to introduce the motivation behind the Galactic Cluster component of the UKIRT Infrared Deep Sky Survey ...

Survival rates of planets in open clusters: the Pleiades, Hyades, and Praesepe clusters [PDF]

open access: yesAstronomy & Astrophysics, 2018
Context. In clustered environments, stellar encounters can liberate planets from their host stars via close encounters. Although the detection probability of planets suggests that the planet population in open clusters resembles that in the field, only a

Rapid Changes in Retrogressive Thaw Slump Dynamics in the Russian High Arctic Based on Very High‐Resolution Remote Sensing

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 7, 16 April 2025.
Abstract We used very high‐resolution satellite images to map the development of retrogressive thaw slumps (RTS) at six sites in the Russian High Arctic for the period 2011 to 2020. The 3,466 mapped RTS revealed an overall high activity, with site‐specific increases of RTS‐affected area up to +2,700% and RTS numbers up to +1,294%.

Estimating quantitative forest attributes using Pleiades satellite data and non-parametric algorithms in Darabkola forests, Mazandaran [PDF]

open access: yesتحقیقات جنگل و صنوبر ایران, 2015
Knowledge on quantitative forest attributes is a prerequisite for forest stand management. The aim of this study was to evaluate high resolution Pleiades data in estimating the standing volume and basal area using non-parametric algorithms in Darabkola ...

A New Pleiades Member at the Lithium Substellar Boundary [PDF]

open access: yes, 1998
We present the discovery of an object in the Pleiades open cluster, named Teide 2, with optical and infrared photometry which place it on the cluster sequence slightly below the expected substellar mass limit. We have obtained low- and high-resolution spectra that allow us to determine its spectral type (M6), radial velocity and rotational broadening ...

The future of decent work: Forecasting heat stress and the intersection of sustainable development challenges in India's brick kilns

open access: yesSustainable Development, Volume 33, Issue 2, Page 3099-3117, April 2025.
Abstract The impacts of climate change‐induced heat stress on workers are most prevalent in sectors with decent work deficits and this requires consideration for sustainable development. This paper focuses on the informal economy of brick kilns in India, a sector reliant on piece‐rate payments to its migrant labour force.

Peculiarities of «liquid – solid» phase equilibria in Six-Ge1-x nanoparticles for various mutual arrangements of phases

open access: yesФизико-химические аспекты изучения кластеров, наноструктур и наноматериалов
The application of 3D nanocrystalline materials obtained using the liquid-phase and solid-phase powder metallurgy technologies is one of the basic approaches to designing high-efficiency and low-cost thermoelectric energy converters.

Significant Seismic Risk Potential From Buried Faults Beneath Almaty City, Kazakhstan, Revealed From High‐Resolution Satellite DEMs

open access: yesEarth and Space Science, 2021
Major faults of the Tien Shan, Central Asia, have long repeat times, but fail in large (Mw 7+) earthquakes. In addition, there may be smaller, buried faults off the major faults which are not properly characterized or even recognized as active. These all

Toward a VLBI resolution of the Pleiades distance controversy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The Pleiades is the best studied open cluster in the sky. It is one of the primary open clusters used to define the `zero-age main sequence,' and hence it serves as a cornerstone for programs which use main-sequence fitting to derive distances. This role is called into question by the `Pleiades distance controversy' - the distance to the Pleiades from ...

Artificial Mangrove Species Mapping Using Pléiades-1: An Evaluation of Pixel-Based and Object-Based Classifications with Selected Machine Learning Algorithms

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2018
In the dwindling natural mangrove today, mangrove reforestation projects are conducted worldwide to prevent further losses. Due to monoculture and the low survival rate of artificial mangroves, it is necessary to pay attention to mapping and monitoring ...
