breakfast so very needed this morning. 😴 Got to say hi to the Queen of Alberni :)

Identifying massive black hole binaries via light curve variability in optical time-domain surveys
Accreting massive black hole binaries (MBHBs) often display periodic variations in their emitted radiation, providing a distinctive signature for their identification. In this work, we explore the MBHBs identification via optical variability studies by simulating the observations of the LSST survey. To this end, we generate a population of MBHBs using the L-Galaxies semi-analytical model, focusing on systems with observed orbital periods $\leq$ 5 years. This ensures that at least two complete c…

Who can help me find out who owns the publication “Canada Minute”? I subscribed to this emailed newsletter, but now I would like to know who owns it, and I cannot find out. They also publish BC, Alberta, SK, and Manitoba Minute.

Listening Across the Cosmic Time: Standard Sirens from Ground- and Space-Based Missions in the Next Decade
Precise measurement of the Hubble parameter will enable stringent tests of the standard model for cosmology. Standard sirens, using the luminosity distances measured by gravitational-wave observations of compact binary mergers, are expected to provide such measurements independently in the next decade. With the ground- and space-based gravitational wave observatories, the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA (LVK) network and the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA), different types of standard sirens altoget…

La justicia declara culpable al expresidente colombiano Álvaro Uribe por soborno y fraude procesal
Por primera vez en la historia de Colombia, un expresidente enfrenta una sentencia penal en su contra. El caso contra el expresidente sacude al sistema político colombiano y genera un debate nacional sobre impunidad, justicia e institucionalidad.

Was sich hier für herrliche neue Blickbeziehungen ergeben! 😍 Von mir aus kann das so bleiben (bis auf die Baustelle natürlich)! 🥰

A catalog of near-IR absolute magnitudes of Solar System small bodies
Context. Phase curves of small bodies are useful tools to obtain their absolute magnitudes and phase coefficients. The former relates to the object's apparent brightness, while the latter relates to how the light interacts with the surface. Data from multi-wavelength photometric surveys, which usually serendipitously observe small bodies, are becoming the cornerstone of large statistical studies of the Solar System. Nevertheless, to our knowledge, all studies have been carried out in visible wa…
