The October 10, 1912 solar eclipse expeditions and the first attempt to measure light-bending by the Sun [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 In 1911 Einstein proposed that light-bending by the Sun's gravitational field could be measured during a total solar eclipse. The first opportunity in which this measurement would be tried, was during the total solar eclipse of October 10, 1912. We report about the expeditions sent to Brazil to observe this eclipse, including the one from the C\'ordoba

Kepler Eclipsing Binary Stars. V. Identification of 31 Eclipsing Binaries in the K2 Engineering Data-set [PDF]
, 2014 Over 2500 eclipsing binaries were identified and characterized from the ultra-precise photometric data provided by the Kepler space telescope. Kepler is now beginning its second mission, K2, which is proving to again provide ultra-precise photometry for a large sample of eclipsing binary stars.

A fixed point in Coptic Chronology: the solar eclipse of 10 March, 601 [PDF]
arXiv, 2006 We reconsider the description of a solar eclipse in the Coptic ostracon in the Egyptian museum, Turin, confirming its identification with the solar eclipse of 10 march 601. This provides one of very few fixed dates in Coptic chronology. We comment on the rarity of such descriptions.

Eclipses and dust formation by WC9 type Wolf-Rayet stars [PDF]
, 2014 Visual photometry of 16 WC8-9 dust-making Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars during 2001--2009 was extracted from the All Sky Automated Survey All Star Catalogue (ASAS-3) to search for eclipses attributable to extinction by dust formed in clumps in our line of sight.
