Suspending failure: temporalities, ontologies, and gigantism in fusion energy development

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, Volume 29, Issue S1, Page 114-132, April 2023., 2023
Abstract Tracing the history of terrestrial fusion energy to a giant multinational experimental fusion facility under construction reveals a series of consequential failures, re‐evaluations of once defunct designs, but also persistence. To account for how this vast enterprise, dogged by failure, endures, I suggest that different ontological narratives ...

Spitzer IRS Observations of Titan as a Precursor to JWST MIRI Observations

The Planetary Science Journal, 2023
In this work, we present for the first time infrared spectra of Titan from the Spitzer Space Telescope (2004–2009). The data are from both the short wavelength–low resolution (SL; 5.13–14.29 μ m, R ∼ 60–127) and short wavelength–high resolution (SH; 9.89–

On-orbit performance of the Spitzer Space Telescope [PDF]

SPIE Proceedings, 2004
The Spitzer Space Telescope (formally known as SIRTF) was successfully launched on August 25, 2003, and has completed its initial in-orbit checkout and science validation and calibration period. The measured performance of the observatory has met or exceeded all of its high-level requirements, it has entered normal operations, and is beginning to ...

Progress in Diamanes and Diamanoids Nanosystems for Emerging Technologies

Advanced Science, Volume 9, Issue 11, April 14, 2022., 2022
Diamanes and diamanoids are newly discovered graphitic carbon nanostructures. These nanosystems are sp3 carbon networks along with few sp2 hybridized carbon atoms which can be fabricated under controlled temperature & pressure using graphitic system as a precursor.

Visible to Mid‐Infrared Optical Constants of Orthopyroxenes

Earth and Space Science, Volume 9, Issue 4, April 2022., 2022
Abstract Radiative transfer models of remotely acquired infrared spectra result in quantitative identification of minerals on planetary surfaces. Optical constants, or the real (n) and imaginary (k) indices of refraction are necessary inputs in such models.

PHANGS–JWST First Results: Duration of the Early Phase of Massive Star Formation in NGC 628

The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023
The earliest stages of star formation, when young stars are still deeply embedded in their natal clouds, represent a critical phase in the matter cycle between gas clouds and young stellar regions.

An investigation of open cluster Melotte 72 using Gaia DR2

Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 342, Issue 4, Page 613-624, May 2021., 2021
Abstract The estimation of the main parameters of star clusters is significant in astrophysical studies. The most important aspect of using the Gaia DR2 survey lies in the positions, parallax, and proper motions of cluster stars with homogeneous photometry that make the membership probability determine with high accuracy.

1I/‘Oumuamua as an N2 Ice Fragment of an exo‐Pluto Surface: I. Size and Compositional Constraints

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 126, Issue 5, May 2021., 2021
Abstract The origin of the interstellar object 1I/‘Oumuamua has defied explanation. We perform calculations of the non‐gravitational acceleration that would be experienced by bodies composed of a range of different ices and demonstrate that a body composed of N2 ice would satisfy the available constraints on the non‐gravitational acceleration, size ...

1I/‘Oumuamua as an N2 Ice Fragment of an Exo‐Pluto Surface II: Generation of N2 Ice Fragments and the Origin of ‘Oumuamua

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 126, Issue 5, May 2021., 2021
Abstract The origin of the interstellar object 1I/‘Oumuamua has defied explanation. In a companion paper (Jackson & Desch, 2021), we show that a body of N2 ice with axes 45 m × 44 m × 7.5 m at the time of observation would be consistent with its albedo, nongravitational acceleration, and lack of observed CO or CO2 or dust.
