21:38 <galois> [arXiv] “ASTERIA -- Asteroid Thermal Inertia Analyzer” Bojan Novaković, Marco Fenucci, Dušan Marčeta et al. — «Thermal inertia estimates are available for a limited number of a few hundred objects, and the results are practically solely based on thermophysical modeling (TPM). We present a novel thermal inertia estimation method, Asteroid Thermal Inertia Analyzer (ASTERIA). The core of the ASTERIA model is the Monte Carlo…»

21:51 <galois> [arXiv] “News in the CODE Catalogue” Małgorzata Królikowska, Piotr A. Dybczyński — «We describe here updates and new elements of the Catalogue of Cometary Orbits and their Dynamical Evolution (CODE) that, in its original 2020 version, has been introduced by Kr\'olikowska & Dybczy\'nski (2020). Currently, the CODE Catalogue offers rich sets of orbital solutions for almost a complete sample of Oort spike comets discovered…»

22:07 <galois> [arXiv] “The Near-surface Shear Layer (NSSL) of the Sun: A Theoretical Model” Arnab Rai Choudhuri, Bibhuti Kumar Jha — «We present a theoretical model of the near-surface shear layer (NSSL) of the Sun. Convection cells deeper down are affected by the Sun's rotation, but this is not the case in a layer just below the solar surface due to the smallness of the convection cells there. Based on this idea, we show that the thermal wind…»

22:08 <galois> [arXiv] “CORHEL-CME: An Interactive Tool For Modeling Solar Eruptions” Jon Linker, Tibor Torok, Cooper Downs et al. — «Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) are immense eruptions of plasma and magnetic fields that are propelled outward from the Sun, sometimes with velocities greater than 2000 km/s. They are responsible for some of the most severe space weather at Earth, including geomagnetic storms and solar energetic particle (SEP)…»

Napolitano, Caroline Heneka et al. — «Large sky spectroscopic surveys have reached the scale of photometric surveys in terms of sample sizes and data complexity. These huge datasets require efficient, accurate, and flexible automated tools for data analysis and science…»

In this approach, the electromagnetic field is split into the force-free component, governed by the equations of force-free…»

Stubbs — «Image degradation impedes our ability to extract information from astronomical observations. One factor contributing to this degradation is ``dome seeing", the reduction in image quality due to variations in the index of refraction within the observatory dome. Addressing…»
