Based on the best observations of extragalactic H II regions of low metallicity available in the literature we redetermine the primordial helium abundance, Y[p]...
The theories of evolution of life on Earth have been based on the principle of storing and transmitting information of organisms in the genes, which according...
High quality CCD cameras and powerful PCs are enabling advanced amateur astronomers to make high quality photometric and astrometric observations of a wide...
Probabilistic Climate Change Projections of Nearshore Wave Climate
The characterization of local wave climate in a particular location is of paramount importance for the estimation of coastal flooding. Downscaling is the method...
I describe the modeling of stellar ensembles in terms of probability distributions. This modeling is primary characterized by the number of stars included in...
Probing Milky Way Structure with Near-Infrared Diffuse Interstellar Bands
Astronomers have studied the set of interstellar absorption features known as the diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) for nearly a century, characterizing them...
Probing nuclear activity versus star formation at z 0.8 using near-infrared multiobject spectroscopy
We present near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopic observations of 28 X-ray and mid-infrared sources at a median redshift of z˜0.8 in the Extended Groth Strip (EGS)...
