Brown dwarfs in wide-field surveys
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]
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

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]
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]
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 ...

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.

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]
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 ...

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 ...
