14:09 <raptop> galois?

15:19 <SnoopJ> !8 did I forget to reload the plugin after noticing the mistake?

15:19 <galois> SnoopJ: no

15:20 <SnoopJ> (!何 was clobbering the EN one)

20:48 <raptop> oh, how convenient. git lets you give your clones dissociation

23:24 <galois> [arXiv] “The DECam Ecliptic Exploration Project (DEEP) IV: Constraints on the shape distribution of bright TNOs” R. Strauss, D. E. Trilling, P. H. Bernardinelli et al. — «We present the methods and results from the discovery and photometric measurement of 26 bright (VR $>$ 24 trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) during the first year (2019-20) of the DECam Ecliptic Exploration Project (DEEP). The DEEP survey is an observational TNO…»

23:26 <raptop> oh, hey, kozai https://arxiv.org/abs/2309.04256

23:26 <galois> [arXiv] “Dynamics of trans-Neptunian objects near the 3/1 mean-motion resonance with Neptune” Alan J. Alves-Carmo, Timothée Vaillant, Alexandre C. M. Correia — «The complex classification of trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) that are captured in mean-motion resonances (MMRs) and the constraint of their multiple origins are two significant open problems concerning the Solar System. The case-by-case study of the different MMRs and…»

23:27 <galois> [arXiv] “Study of Io's sodium jets with the TRAPPIST telescopes” Alexander de Becker, Linus Head, Bertrand Bonfond et al. — «Io is the most volcanically active body in the Solar System. This volcanic activity results in the ejection of material into Io's atmosphere, which may then escape from the atmosphere to form various structures in the jovian magnetosphere, including the plasma torus and clouds of neutral particles. The…»

23:27 <galois> [arXiv] “Post-processing CHARIS integral field spectrograph data with PyKLIP” Minghan Chen, Jason J. Wang, Timothy D. Brandt et al. — «We present the pyKLIP-CHARIS post-processing pipeline, a Python library that reduces high contrast imaging data for the CHARIS integral field spectrograph used with the SCExAO project on the Subaru Telescope. The pipeline is a part of the pyKLIP package, a Python library dedicated to the reduction…»

23:29 <galois> [arXiv] “Prediction of even and odd sunspot cycles” Timo Asikainen, Jani Mantere — «Here we study the prediction of even and odd numbered sunspot cycles separately, thereby taking into account the Hale cyclicity of solar magnetism. We first show that the temporal evolution and shape of all sunspot cycles are extremely well described by a simple parameterized mathematical expression. We find that the parameters describing even…»
