»Parlament fordert Pilotprojekt für E-Collecting:
Der Nationalrat hat gleich zwei politische Vorstösse angenommen, in denen es um die Einführung von E-Collecting geht. Einer wurde zuvor allerdings noch abgeändert.«
Mal sehen wie sicher und Privatsphäre einhaltend diesmal E-Collection in der Schweiz sich ergibt/präsentiert. Simpel ist es nicht und die Privatsphäre hat Vorrang hoffentlich.

The variable stars in the compact halo globular cluster NGC 5634 visited again
We present new time-series CCD \emph{VR} photometry of the globular cluster NGC 5634. We aim to use the known RR Lyrae stars, members of the cluster, as indicators of mean metallicity and distance. Accurate coordinates, periods and an identification chart of the variables in the field of our images are provided. A membership analysis was performed, based on $Gaia$-DR3 proper motions, for 3525 point sources within 15 arcmin from the cluster center. The membership status for each known variable w…

The Cosmic Dance: Observational Detection of Coherent Spin in Galaxy Clusters
The spin of galaxy clusters encodes key information about their formation, dynamics, and the influence of large-scale structure. However, whether clusters possess statistically significant spin and how to measure it observationally remain open questions. Here, we present the first observational statistical detection of coherent spin in galaxy clusters, by using a sample of 2,170 systems with $M > 10^{14}\, M_\odot$ selected from a publicly available group catalog based on the SDSS galaxy. Clust…

Compact Objects in Globular Clusters
It is now widely established that globular clusters host robust populations of white dwarfs, neutron stars, and black holes throughout their lifetimes. Within clusters, dynamical processes enabled by stellar densities thousands to millions of times larger than typical galactic environments facilitate interactions involving these stellar remnants that give rise to an array of astrophysical phenomena. In particular, stellar clusters have emerged as an important formation site for X-ray sources, r…
