A touch of awe: crafting meaning from the wonder of the cosmos by Paulson, S, Davies, P, Louis, A, Walkowicz, L

“…In conversation with Steve Paulson, executive producer and host of To the Best of Our Knowledge, theoretical physicists Paul Davies and Ard Louis, and astrophysicist Lucianne Walkowicz share their perceptions based on years of gazing upward and beyond our own intimate planet.…”

Abnormal light propagation and the underdetermination of theory by evidence in astrophysics by Asenjo, F, Hojman, S, Linnemann, N, Read, JAM

“…Having established these results, we then turn to their conceptual significance—which, in brief, we take to be the following: (i) one should not assume that the part of electromagnetic waves from outer space that is subject to detection is localised onto null trajectories; therefore (ii) astrophysicists and cosmologists should at least be wary about making such assumptions in their inferences from obtained data, for to do so may lead to incorrect inferences regarding the nature of our universe.…”

Accelerating Universe and the Scalar-Tensor Theory by Yasunori Fujii

“…It also follows that the scalar field is simply the pseudo Nambu–Goldstone boson of broken global scale invariance, based on the way astronomers and astrophysicists measure the expansion of the universe in reference to the microscopic length units. …”

Fair ranking of researchers and research teams. by Václav Vavryčuk

“…The urgent need of widely adopting a fair ranking scheme in practise is exemplified by analysing citation profiles of several highly-cited astronomers and astrophysicists. While the full counting scheme often leads to completely incorrect and misleading ranking, the fractional or authorship-weighted schemes are more accurate and applicable to ranking of researchers as well as research teams. …”

Dusty plasmas: from Saturn’s rings to semiconductor processing devices by Robert Merlino

“…This article focuses on the physics underlying dusty plasmas, which are studied by plasma physicists, aeronomists, space physicists, and astrophysicists. The article begins with an introduction explaining what we mean by a dusty plasma, where they are found, and a summary of their basic properties. …”

Heteroscedastic Gaussian processes for uncertain and incomplete data by Almosallam, I

“…This problem, by its nature, can capitalise on the features of the proposed model as the noise on the photometry can vary across different galaxies or catalogues, not all photometry might be available during prediction or shared amongst different surveys, and the input-dependent uncertainty estimation gives astrophysicists the ability to trade off completeness for accuracy to answer a range of different questions related to astronomy and cosmology.…”

Exploring how gender figures the identity trajectories of two doctoral students in observational astrophysics by Allison J. Gonsalves

The Ubiquity of Humanity and Textuality in Human Experience by Daihyun Chung
