    We present the chemical distribution of the Milky Way, based on 2900 of u-band photometry taken as part of the Canada-France Imaging Survey. When complete, this survey will cover 10,000 of the northern sky. By combing the ...

    We use deep multi-epoch near-IR images of the VISTA Variables in the Vía Láctea (VVV) Survey to search for RR Lyrae stars toward the Southern Galactic plane. Here, we report the discovery of a group of RR Lyrae stars close ...

    We report the discovery and constrain the physical conditions of the interstellar medium of the highest-redshift millimeter-selected dusty star-forming galaxy to date, SPT-S J031132−5823.4 (hereafter SPT0311−58), at . ...

  • Kipping, David M.; Cameron, Chris; Hartman, Joel D.; Davenport, James R.A.; Matthews, Jaymie M.; Sasselov, Dimitar; Rowe, Jason; Siverd, Robert J.; Chen, Jingjing; Guenther, David B. (The American Astronomical Society, 2017-03)
    The analysis of Proxima Centauri's radial velocities recently led Anglada-Escudé et al. to claim the presence of a low-mass planet orbiting the Sun's nearest star once every 11.2 days. Although the a priori probability ...

  • Ramsey, Jon P.; Clarke, David C.; Men'Shchikov, Alexander B. (Cornell University Library, arXiv.org, 2012-03)
    A new adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) version of the ZEUS-3D astrophysical magnetohydrodynamical (MHD) fluid code, AZEuS, is described. The AMR module in AZEuS has been completely adapted to the staggered mesh that characterises ...

  • Broders, Hugh G.; Coombs, Andrea B.; McCarron, J.R, (Alces, 2012-01-01)
    The size of the mainland Nova Scotia moose (Alces alces) population has declined pre-cipitously over the last several decades and their current distribution is discontinuous. In recognition of the state of its moose ...

  • Majaess, Daniel J. (Cornell University Library, arXiv.org, 2010-03-30)
    The distance to the Galactic center inferred from OGLE RR Lyrae variables observed in the direction of the bulge is Ro=8.1+-0.6 kpc. An accurate determination of Ro is hindered by countless effects that include an ambiguous ...

  • Vessey, Joseph Kevin (Elsevier B.V, 2010-10)
    Recent concerns over rising oil prices and greenhouse gas emissions have sparked an interest for the production of first generation biofuels on marginal agricultural land in Eastern Canada. Field trials were established ...

  • Young, Mitchell E.; Short, C. Ian (The American Astronomical Society, 2017-02-01)
    We present an investigation of the globular cluster population synthesis method of McWilliam & Bernstein, focusing on the impact of non-LTE (NLTE) modeling effects and color-magnitude diagram (CMD) discretization. ...
