Two Massive, Compact, and Dust-obscured Candidate z ≃ 8 Galaxies Discovered by JWST

Michaela Hirschmann

We present a search for extremely red, dust-obscured, z > 7 galaxies with JWST/NIRCam+MIRI imaging over the first 20 arcmin(2) of publicly available Cycle 1 data from the COSMOS-Web, CEERS, and PRIMER surveys. Based on their red color in F277W-F444W (simil ...

Permeability sets the linear path instability of buoyancy-driven disks

François Gallaire, Pier Giuseppe Ledda, Giuseppe Antonio Zampogna, Giovanni Vagnoli

The prediction of trajectories of buoyancy-driven objects immersed in a viscous fluid is a key problem in fluid dynamics. Simple-shaped objects, such as disks, present a great variety of trajectories, ranging from zig-zag to tumbling and chaotic motions. Y ...

A mechanistic understanding of adhesive wear

Jean-François Molinari

We discuss recent advances in developing a fundamental, mechanistic, understanding of the evolution of surface roughness of solids during dry sliding. The time evolution of surface roughness is little understood although it crucially impacts friction and w ...

Tools for multi time horizon PV point forecasting and prediction intervals

Mario Paolone, Fabrizio Sossan, Enrica Scolari

The massive integration of stochastic renewable generation in modern power systems requires decentralized control schemes that cope with the uncertainties of the distributed energy resources (DERs). Among the DERs, small-scale photovoltaic (PV) systems are ...

Design and Validation of a Compact Embedded Photometric Device for Real-time Daylighting Computing in Office Buildings

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Jérôme Henri Kämpf, Yujie Wu

Studies have shown that the exposure to daylight can have substantial visual/non-visual benefits for building occupants. To optimise daylighting provision while maintaining a comfortable visual environment, daylighting control systems have been investigate ...

Exploring the Extent in the Visual Field of the Honeycomb and Extinction Illusions

Michael Herzog, Aline Françoise Cretenoud

There are situations in which what is perceived in central vision is different to what is perceived in the periphery, even though the stimulus display is uniform. Here, we studied two cases, known as the Extinction illusion and the Honeycomb illusion, invo ...

Periodic cellular aluminum structures for space applications

Florian Thibaut Gallien

Mass is one of the crucial parameters for hardware that has to be placed in Earth orbit. Due to its harsh environment, a material with highest specific properties is desired to achieve space missions. The rise and development of new technologies, such as a ...

Accretion Disk Size Measurement and Time Delays in the Lensed Quasar WFI 2033-4723

Frédéric Courbin, Vivien François Bonvin

We present 13 seasons of R-band photometry of the quadruply lensed quasarWFI 2033-4723 from the 1.3m SMARTS telescope at CTIO and the 1.2m Euler Swiss Telescope at La Silla, in which we detect microlensing variability of similar to 0.2mag on a timescale of ...

A large planetary body inferred from diamond inclusions in a ureilite meteorite

Philippe Gillet, Cécile Hébert, Marco Cantoni, Emad Oveisi, James Badro, Farhang Nabiei, Teresa Katharina Dennenwaldt

Planetary formation models show that terrestrial planets are formed by the accretion of tens of Moon-to Mars-sized planetary embryos through energetic giant impacts. However, relics of these large proto-planets are yet to be found. Ureilites are one of the ...
