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.

Observational Evidence of Dust Evolution in Supernova Remnants: Size Redistribution toward Larger Grains in the Early Sedov Phase

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
Recent observations have revealed that dust is widespread and abundant in galaxies up to z  ≃ 8, significantly influencing their appearance and spectral properties.

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.

Data-driven Stellar Intrinsic Colors and Dust Reddenings for Spectrophotometric Data: From the Blue-edge Method to a Machine Learning Approach

The Astrophysical Journal
Intrinsic colors (ICs) of stars are essential for studies on both stellar physics and dust reddening. In this work, we developed an XGBoost model to predict ICs with the atmospheric parameters T _eff , ${\rm{log}}\,g$ , and [M/H].

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 ...

Assessing the Effects of Composition and Surface Roughness on the Photopolarimetric Response of Planetary Regoliths

The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series
This study is part of an ongoing project in which we experimentally examine the effect of composition (refractive index) and surface roughness on the scattering matrix elements of a set of well-characterized rough regolith simulants.

A Two‐Step Artificial Intelligence Approach for Correcting Space Weathering Effects in the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Diviner Christiansen Feature Image

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Space weathering substantially distorts the Christiansen feature (CF) observed by Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) Diviner thermal infrared radiometer, obscuring the intrinsic compositional and thermophysical signals of lunar surface silicate minerals.

Asymmetric Shape Variability Biases Proportion Judgments With Icon Arrays

Cognitive Science, Volume 50, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Icon arrays are graphical displays in which a subset of shapes are filled to represent the probability of an outcome (e.g., the probability of side‐effects from a medical treatment). Prior work has shown that the perceptions of probabilities can be more accurate with icon arrays compared to other formats.

Probing the Distinct Extinction Law of the Pillars of Creation in M16 with JWST

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
Investigating the extinction law in regions of high dust extinction, such as the Pillars of Creation within the M16 region, is crucial for understanding the densest parts of the interstellar medium (ISM).
