Gaia white dwarfs with infrared excess

Astronomy & Astrophysics
Context. The presence of infrared (IR) excess flux observed in white dwarfs is related to the existence of debris disks or substellar companions. These systems provide important clues in studies of extrasolar planetary material and binary evolution ...

Do Single‐Sex STEM Programs Have Merit? If So, for Whom, on What Measures?

Science Education, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Single‐sex STEM programs—defined here as voluntary, gender‐segregated extracurricular or supplemental activities (e.g., summer camps, workshops, robotics clubs, internships, or citizen science initiatives)—have experienced heightened popularity and scrutiny amid efforts to increase diversity in STEM fields.

Promoting access to and use of seismic data in a large scientific community

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2017
The growing amount of seismic data available from space missions (SOHO, CoRoT, Kepler, SDO,…) but also from ground-based facilities (GONG, BiSON, ground-based large programmes…), stellar modelling and numerical simulations, creates new scientific ...

Critical Success Factors and a Modus Operandi Framework for Managing Multi‐Actor Research Partnerships for Sustainable Food Systems

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates critical success factors for managing multi‐actor research partnerships for sustainable food systems along their lifecycle. Such partnerships coordinate both internal activities and manage externally funded projects. Drawing on evidence from case studies and workshops with diverse experts, the study identifies critical ...

A Virtual Observatory Census to Address Dwarfs Origins (AVOCADO) [PDF]

Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2013
(Abridged) AVOCADO aims at establishing firm conclusions on the formation and evolution of dwarf galaxies by constructing and analysing a homogeneous, multiwavelength dataset for a statistically significant sample of approximately 6500 nearby dwarfs (M_i > -18 mag).

Model‐Based Systems Engineering in Space Applications: A Comprehensive Literature Review

Systems Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The growing complexity of space engineering is driving the demand to embrace the adoption of Model‐Based Systems Engineering (MBSE). Although the MBSE is well‐practiced in the space industry, the level of effort and need required to obtain the benefits of MBSE vastly differ across enterprises; this disparity presents a significant challenge to

Computing natural magnitudes in the photometric systems of astronomical plates using Gaia DR3 spectral energy distributions

Astronomy & Astrophysics
Context. Accurate photometric calibration of astronomical photographic plates remains a fundamental challenge in astronomy, especially when bridging historical photographic data with modern observations due to the mismatch of spectral sensitivities of ...

Games and gamification projects in the Australian public sector

Australian Journal of Public Administration, EarlyView.
Abstract This article surveys the arrival of gameful government into Australian public sector practice. Gameful government is a shorthand, descriptive term denoting the interpenetration of (video)games, and design elements and thinking from them, into public sector work.

Rebuilding the Ladder? Contemporary Contests Over Industrial Policy

Global Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Does the greater embrace of industrial policy globally signal the emergence of a New Washington Consensus? We show that the multiplication of industrial policies, while consequential, signals neither normalisation nor consensus. Rather, industrial policy is increasingly the object of contestation over norms and practices of state ...
