Surface-brightness fluctuations in stellar populations
A new theoretical calibration of surface-brightness fluctuations (SBF) for single age, single metallicity stellar populations is presented for the optical and...
Surfactant role of (TM)Sb in MOVPE growth of metamorphic InGaAs graded buffers
We present a virtual substrate for high quality InAs epitaxial layer, obtained via metalorganic vapor-phase epitaxy growth of Sb-assisted InxGa1-xAs metamorphic...
Surprising Existence of Massive and Large Molecular Gas Reservoirs in A Distant Protocluster
We know that environment has a critical impact on galaxy growth and evolution. What we do not know is when it starts to have an impact and how it does it. I...
Survey for the Binary Progenitor in SN1006 and Update on SN1572
We have completed a survey down to R = 15 mag of the stars within a circle of 4 arcmin radius around the nominal center of the remnant of SN 1006, one of the...
Survey of Ensemble Physical Properties of Cometary Nuclei
We propose to make an albedo and radius survey of 100 cometary nuclei using IRS PU and MIPS imaging. We focus on Jupiter family comets (JFCs), which have...
Survey of stellar associations using proper motions
Stellar Proper Motions can be represented as great circles over the Celestial Sphere. This point of view creates a geometry over the sphere where the study of...
Surveys for low-mass stars and brown dwarfs: Solar Neighbourhood and intermediate-age clusters Alpha Per and Collinder 359
Lipid bilayers are key components of biomembranes; they are self-assembled two-dimensional structures, primarily serving as barriers to the leakage of cell's...
Survival of the obscuring torus in the most powerful active galactic nuclei
Dedicated searches suggest that the fraction of obscured Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) decreases substantially with increasing luminosity. To explain these...
