A comparison of observationally determined radii with theoretical radius predictions for short-period transiting extrasolar planets

Two extrasolar planets, HD 209458b and TrES-1, are currently known to transit bright parent stars for which physical properties can be accurately determined. The two transiting planets have very ...

Signatures of Tidal Disruption of the Hercules Ultrafaint Dwarf Galaxy

The Hercules ultrafaint dwarf galaxy (UFD) has long been hypothesized to be tidally disrupting, yet no conclusive evidence has been found for tidal disruption owing partly to difficulties in ...

Kinetics of nitrous oxide production from ammonia oxidation in the Eastern Tropical North Pacific

Marine oxygen-deficient zones represent a natural source of nitrous oxide (N2O), a potent greenhouse gas and ozone-depleting agent. To investigate controls on N2O production, the responses of ammonia ...

Expected limits on the ocean acidification buffering potential of a temperate seagrass meadow

Ocean acidification threatens many marine organisms, especially marine calcifiers. The only global-scale solution to ocean acidification remains rapid reduction in CO2 emissions. Nevertheless, ...

Substructure in the most massive GEEC groups: field-like populations in dynamically active groups

10.1111/j.1365-2966.2012.20586.x The presence of substructure in galaxy groups and clusters is believed to be a sign of recent galaxy accretion and can be used to probe not only the assembly history ...
