The main sequence of three red supergiant clusters [PDF]
, 2013 Massive clusters in our Galaxy are an ideal testbed to investigate the properties and evolution of high-mass stars. They provide statistically significant samples of massive stars of uniform ages. To accurately determine the intrinsic physical properties

The Effect of a Nonuniversal Extinction Curve on the Wesenheit Function and Cepheid Distances
The Astrophysical Journal LettersThe Wesenheit function is widely used to reduce the effects of interstellar reddening in distance measurements. Its construction, however, relies on the assumption of a universal extinction curve and on fixed values of the total-to-selective extinction ...

Confidence intervals for extinction risk: Validating population viability analysis with limited data
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 6, Page 1837-1850, June 2026.Abstract The assessment of extinction risk remains a key component of IUCN and CITES evaluations. However, it has been argued that, under realistic data limitations, confidence intervals (CIs) for extinction probability often span the entire 0–1 range, rendering such assessments meaningless.

Interstellar reddening in the galaxy [PDF]
, 1964 Objective prism spectra obtained with the 16/24/60-inch Schmidt telescope have been used for an investigation of the wavelength dependence of interstellar absorption in the spectral range from 8000A to 3450A, in a region of 30 square degrees in ...

The Astrophysical JournalIn the most precise distance ladder determination of H _0 , the observed near-infrared fluxes of Cepheids are corrected for dust, assuming that the extinction law in large, star-forming spiral hosts of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) is similar to the Milky ...

Dream is an offshore flame: Notes on archaeology and belonging
Anthropology and Humanism, Volume 51, Issue 1, June 2026.Abstract Set within an archaeology lab in Dunedin, Aotearoa, this creative non‐fiction piece traces the search for dwelling through the meticulous, repetitive labor of everyday practice. The narrative finds belonging not as a static identity, but as a continuous, tactile engagement with the material world.

Concealed coexistence: Reproductive choice and coercion in Timor‐Leste
Medical Anthropology Quarterly, Volume 40, Issue 2, June 2026.Abstract Choice is a central concept in reproductive rights. However, a discourse of choice in reproductive health can also mask precisely the act it aims to protect against: coercion. Whilst choice has been explored extensively in studies of reproductive rights and justice, understandings of coercion are fragmented and under‐theorized.

An Empirical Extinction Curve Revealed by Gaia XP Spectra and LAMOST
The Astrophysical JournalWe present a direct measurement of extinction curves using corrected Gaia XP spectra of the common sources in Gaia DR3 and LAMOST DR7. Our analysis of approximately 370,000 high-quality samples yielded a high-precision average extinction curve for the ...

Thermal Segregation and Reddening in Europa's Double Ridges
Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract Europa's double ridges often display lower albedo and redder color than their surroundings. Their unique topography may cause sublimation‐driven darkening due to illumination and self‐heating—the process of thermal segregation. We apply an advanced 3D thermophysical model, including shadowing and self‐heating through mutual exchange of ...
