The Sloan Digitized Sky Survey (SDSS) and the proposed Sloan Extension for Galactic Understanding and Evolution (SEGUE) offer a unprecedented stellar database with which to explore the properties of the thin disk, thick disk, and halo of the Galaxy. To make full use of the information contained in the available spectra and photometry, we require

The nature of warm, ionized gas outside of galaxies may illuminate several key galaxy evolutionary processes. A serendipitous observation by the MaNGA survey has revealed a large, asymmetric Hα complex with no optical counterpart that extends ≈8″ (≈6.3 kpc) beyond the effective radius of a dusty, starbursting galaxy. This Hα extension is

A search for physics beyond the standard model in the final state with two same-flavour leptons (electrons or muons) and two quarks produced in proton-proton collisions at √{ s } = 13TeV is presented. The data were recorded by the CMS experiment at the CERN LHC and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 2.3fb-1. The observed data are in good

Context. Part of the very high energy γ-ray radiation coming from extragalactic sources is absorbed through the pair production process on the extragalactic background light photons. Extragalactic magnetic fields alter the trajectories of these cascade pairs and, in turn, convert cosmic background photons to γ-ray energies by inverse Compton

Chimonas and Hines1,2 suggested that atmospheric gravity waves could be generated by the supersonic passage of the Moon's shadow through the Earth's atmosphere during a solar eclipse. Beer and May3 pointed out that the eclipse of June 30, 1973, would provide an opportunity of investigating the idea, and perhaps establish a link between travelling

A search is presented for an excess of events with heavy-flavor quark pairs ({t}\overline{{t}} and {b} \overline{{b}} ) and a large imbalance in transverse momentum in data from proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. The data correspond to an integrated luminosity of 2.2 fb^{-1} collected with the CMS detector at the CERN
