    Properties of Magnetic Switchbacks in the Near-Sun Solar Wind
    Magnetic switchbacks are fluctuations in the solar wind in which the interplanetary magnetic field sharply deflects away from its background direction so as to...

    Solar Coronal Jets: Observations, Theory, and Modeling
    Coronal jets represent important manifestations of ubiquitous solar transients, which may be the source of significant mass and energy input to the upper solar...

    Solar Surface and Atmospheric Dynamics. The Photosphere
    Various aspects of the magnetism of the quiet sun are reviewed. The suggestion that a small scale dynamo acting at granular scales generates what we call the...

    The fundamental parameters of the central stars of eight WR ring nebulae
    We describe work that has recently been completed on deriving the fundamental parameters of eight WR stars through the photoionization modelling of their...

    The Low Metallicity Tail of the Halo Metallicity Distribution Function
    Ongoing spectroscopy and photometry of stars selected in the HK objective-prism/interference-filter survey of Beers and colleagues has resulted in the...

    The mass and helium discrepancy in massive stars: the case VELA X-1
    A NLTE-analysis is presented of high S/N spectra of the optical component of the standard massive X-ray binary Vela X-1. In combination with the orbital...

    The Physics and Diagnostic Potential of Ultraviolet Spectropolarimetry
    The empirical investigation of the magnetic field in the outer solar atmosphere is a very important challenge in astrophysics. To this end, we need to identify...

    Toward an Internally Consistent Astronomical Distance Scale
    Accurate astronomical distance determination is crucial for all fields in astrophysics, from Galactic to cosmological scales. Despite, or perhaps because of...
