WASP-54b, WASP-56b and WASP-57b: Three new sub-Jupiter mass planets from SuperWASP [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
peer reviewedWe present three newly discovered sub-Jupiter mass planets from the SuperWASP survey: WASP-54b is a heavily bloated planet of mass 0.636+0.025-0.024RJ. It orbits a F9 star, evolving off the main sequence, every 3.69 days. Our MCMC fit of the

Impact of Cattaneo–Christov Heat and Mass Flux on MHD Hybrid Nanofluid Flow Over an Extending Surface With Convective and Mass Flux Effects

open access: yesAsia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the flow of a magnetized hybrid nanofluid over a permeable stretching surface. The mass and thermal transport within the system is regulated using the Cattaneo–Christov flux theory. The fluid is additionally subjected to thermophoresis, chemical reaction, Brownian motion, and activation energy effects.

Modified model of Newtonian gravitation.

open access: yesТонкие химические технологии, 2011
Within the limits of the classical mechanics for planets of the Solar system a new form of gravitational potential is suggested. The following effects are considered: perihelion advance of the planets, deviation of light beams in the field of the Sun ...

‘Let's talk about the weather’: The activist curriculum and global climate change education

open access: yesBritish Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Activist movements have garnered significant global attention on a range of sustainability issues, often involving collectives of citizens coming together. Invoked is the idea of citizens informed to act, emerging not from a common‐sense understanding of everyday life, but rather from a deep political understanding of the world—one that is ...

PROCESS OF PLANETS’ MAGNETIC FIELDS FORMATION

open access: yesElectrical engineering & Electromechanics, 2013
Heated melt of the cores of the Sun and the planets is the basis of their permanent magnetic fields that, in interaction with the large-scale magnetic field of the Galaxy, condition on the action of their dynamo mechanisms which, on the basis of the ...

The seven most extreme planets ever discovered [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
First paragraph: Scientists recently discovered the hottest planet ever found – with a surface temperature greater than some stars. As the hunt for planets outside our own solar system continues, we have discovered many other worlds with extreme ...

Spatial metrics in fire ecology: seeking consistency amidst complexity

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Technological advances, including remote sensing, have led to a proliferation of metrics used in ecological studies to examine spatial patterns of fire regimes and their ecological effects. Researchers can use many different metrics to analyse spatial variation in both fire events and resulting fire regimes, including fire size, shape ...

Planets Around Solar Twins/Analogs (PASTA). I. High-precision Stellar Chemical Abundances for 17 Planet-hosting Stars and the Condensation Temperature Trend

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
The Sun is depleted in refractory elements compared to nearby solar twins, which may be linked to the formation of giant or terrestrial planets. Here we present high-resolution, high signal-to-noise spectroscopic data for 17 solar-like stars hosting ...

KOI-3158: The oldest known system of terrestrial-size planets

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2015
The first discoveries of exoplanets around Sun-like stars have fueled efforts to find ever smaller worlds evocative of Earth and other terrestrial planets in the Solar System. While gas-giant planets appear to form preferentially around metal-rich stars,

A mosaic of microclimates: biodiversity outcomes and wildlife habitat potential in large‐scale solar facilities

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The rapid global expansion of photovoltaic (PV) solar facilities, now comprising nearly 80% of the recent and projected growth of renewable electricity, represents one of the most significant land‐use changes of the 21st century. While PV facilities are critical for decarbonising energy systems, their large spatial footprint and infrastructure
