Description
CCD photometry of resolved dwarf irregular galaxies was obtained with the 4-m Cerro Tololo Interamerican Observatory telescope in February 1985. BV data from 77 stars in DDO 187 are used to infer a distance modulus of 28.2 + or - 0.6, placing this galaxy out of the Local Group, at a distance of 4.4 + or - 1.0 Mpc. In the second part, UBV photometry of 142 resolved stars in GR 8 is presented. The results show a distance modulus of 25.0 for GR 8. It is suggested that metal enriched gas loss is required (probably together with a low upper mass limit in the IMF) to explain the metallicity of this galaxy, and that a star formation burst mode is necessary to explain the blue colors of GR 8.

    Magnetic diffusion in solar atmosphere produces measurable electric fields
    The efficient release of magnetic energy in astrophysical plasmas, such as during solar flares, can in principle be achieved through magnetic diffusion, at a rate determined by the associated electric field. However, attempts at measuring electric fields in the solar atmosphere are scarce, and none exist for sites where the magnetic energy is

    Perspectives on the physics of late-type stars from beyond low earth orbit, the moon and mars
    With the new discoveries enabled thanks to the recent space missions, stellar physics is going through a revolution. However, these discoveries opened the door to many new questions that require more observations. The European Space Agency's Human and Robotic Exploration program provides an excellent opportunity to push forward the limits of our

    Echo-free quality factor of a multilayer axion haloscope
    We report a methodology to determine the quality factor ( Q) of wavy dark matter detectors equipped with multilayered resonators, including Fabry-Pérot interferometers and the so-called dielectric haloscope. An anechoic chamber enables the observation of the resonance frequency and its amplitude for an unlimited series of layers for the first time
