18:38 <galois> [arXiv] “OMEGA/Mars Express: A new martian atmospheric dust hunter” Yann Leseigneur, Mathieu Vincendon — «While dust is a key parameter of Mars climate, its behaviour from one year to the next can appear erratic. This variability is notably related to Global Dust Storms (GDS) which occur only certain years with different onset, duration and intensity. The interannual variabilities of the dust cycle may notably explain some…»

Kennedy — «This paper describes a method for parametric radial profile modelling of radio interferometric visibility data. Image-based parametric modelling is common in the field of circumstellar debris disks, and high resolution ALMA observations make this method computationally expensive because many high resolution images must be…»
