Through the Expert's Eyes: Exploring Asynchronous Expert Perspectives and Gaze Visualizations in XR
Transferring knowledge across generations is fundamental to human civilization, yet the challenge of passing on complex practical skills persists. Methods without a physically present instructor, such as videos, often fail to explain complex manual tasks, where spatial and social factors are critical. Technologies such as eXtended Reality and Artificial Intelligence hold the potential to retain expert knowledge and facilitate the creation of tailored, contextualized, and asynchronous explanatio…

The Far-Infrared Enhanced Survey Spectrometer (FIRESS) for PRIMA: Science Drivers
We present the science drivers for the Far-Infrared Enhanced Survey Spectrometer (FIRESS), one of two science instrument on the PRobe Infrared Mission for Astrophysics (PRIMA). FIRESS is designed to meet science objectives in the areas of the origins of planetary atmospheres, the co-evolution of galaxies and supermassive black holes, and the buildup of heavy elements in the Universe. In addition to these drivers, FIRESS is envisioned as a versatile far-infrared spectrometer, capable of addressi…

Chronology of our Galaxy from Gaia colour-magnitude diagram fitting (ChronoGal): IV. On the inner Milky Way stellar age distribution
The Milky Way's inner region is dominated by a stellar bar and a boxy-peanut shaped bulge. However, which stellar populations inhabit the inner Galaxy or how star formation proceeded there is still unknown. The difficulty in studying these stars stems from their location in dense regions that are strongly impacted by extinction and crowding effects. In this work, we use star formation histories computed in the solar neighbourhood using Gaia Colour-Magnitude Diagram fitting to shed light onto th…

Enabling Time-Aware Priority Traffic Management over Distributed FPGA Nodes
Network Interface Cards (NICs) greatly evolved from simple basic devices moving traffic in and out of the network to complex heterogeneous systems offloading host CPUs from performing complex tasks on in-transit packets. These latter comprise different types of devices, ranging from NICs accelerating fixed specific functions (e.g., on-the-fly data compression/decompression, checksum computation, data encryption, etc.) to complex Systems-on-Chip (SoC) equipped with both general purpose processor…

Runtime Energy Monitoring for RISC-V Soft-Cores
Energy efficiency is one of the major concern in designing advanced computing infrastructures. From single nodes to large-scale systems (data centers), monitoring the energy consumption of the computing system when applications run is a critical task. Designers and application developers often rely on software tools and detailed architectural models to extract meaningful information and determine the system energy consumption. However, when a design space exploration is required, designers may …

The Far-Infrared Enhanced Survey Spectrometer (FIRESS) for PRIMA: Approach and Estimated Performance
We present the architectural concept for the Far-Infrared Enhanced Survey Spectrometer (FIRESS) for the Probe Mission for far-IR Astrophysics (PRIMA). FIRESS spans the 24--235 micron range with four R ~ 100 slit-fed grating modules, each coupling to a 24 (spatial) by 84 (spectral) pixel array of kinetic inductance detectors (KIDs). All four arrays are read out simultaneously, and a point source of interest can be coupled to two of the four bands at a time. A Fourier transform module can be enga…

oMEGACat. VII. Tracing Interstellar and Intracluster Medium of $ω$ Centauri using Sodium Absorptions
We investigate the foreground interstellar medium along the line of sight and intracluster medium of $ω$ Centauri ($ω$ Cen) by measuring the equivalent width of Na I D absorptions from MUSE observations. The large line-of-sight velocity difference between $ω$ Cen and the foreground enables us to separate Na I D absorption contributed from atomic gas in the interstellar and intracluster medium. We find that small-scale substructures in the foreground Na I D distribution correlate with differe…
