A new mass-ratio for the X-ray Binary X2127+119 in M15?

open access: yes, 2004
The luminous low-mass X-ray binary X2127+119 in the core of the globular cluster M15 (NGC 7078), which has an orbital period of 17 hours, has long been assumed to contain a donor star evolving off the main sequence, with a mass of 0.8 solar masses (the ...

Commissioning an Inexpensive Off‐The‐Shelf Spectrograph for Radial‐Velocity Studies

open access: yesAstronomische Nachrichten, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We present a way to set up an inexpensive out of the shelf spectrograph at a local observatory. Stability and resolution of the spectrograph are high enough for radial velocity determination of binary stars or determination of stellar characteristics. Even some exoplanets might be detectable via the radial velocity method.

Enhanced Photocatalytic Reduction of CO2 to Complete CO Mediated by Donor–Acceptor Covalent Organic Frameworks

open access: yesENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
A donor–acceptor (D–A) engineering strategy is applied to construct β‐ketoenamine‐linked COFs for CO2 photoreduction in pure water without sacrificial agents or photosensitizers. The designed TP‐TAPB COF, featuring the strongest D–A interaction, achieves a complete CO production rate of 464.6 μmol g−1. Strengthened intramolecular D–A interactions favor

Decentralized Wind Energy Systems as Catalysts for Urban Resilience: A Design Framework

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Confronting the escalating extreme weather events (EWEs) and intensifying winds, this study proposes an active response to these issues by exploring decentralized wind energy production for Peng Chau Island, Hong Kong. It integrates theoretical perspectives on energy democracy—empowering local communities through energy autonomy—and urban ...

A Review of the Strategies Used in the Recovery and Passivation of Lead in Lead‐Based Perovskite Solar Cells: Balancing Device Efficiency, Toxicity, and Environmental Sustainability

open access: yesNatural Sciences, EarlyView.
Lead‐based perovskite solar cells deliver outstanding power conversion efficiencies, yet their commercialization is constrained by concerns over lead toxicity and stability challenges. Advanced encapsulation and chemical passivation techniques can significantly suppress lead leakage while improving long‐term device stability.

Exploration of the use of short‐wave infrared radiances in weather forecasts model Part II: Data assimilation and forecast impact assessment

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
The standalone non‐local thermodynamic equilibrium (NLTE) bias correction schemes, utilizing a look‐up‐table and a linear regression method developed in Part I and new quality control procedures for short‐wave infrared radiances (SWIR), were tested within a data assimilation framework.
