Early science with the LMT: molecular torus in UGC 5101
As part of the Early Science Large Millimeter Telescope projects, we report the detection of nine double-peaked molecular lines, produced by a rotating...
Early universe constraints on time variation of fundamental constants
We study the time variation of fundamental constants in the early Universe. Using data from primordial light nuclei abundances, cosmic microwave background, and...
Early-type dwarf galaxies with multicomponent stellar structure: Are they remnants of disc galaxies strongly transformed by their environment?
Context. The surface brightness distribution of ~30-40% of the early-type dwarf galaxies with - 18 ≤ MB ≤ -15 in the Virgo and the Coma clusters is fitted by...
Early-type galaxies have been the predominant morphological class for massive galaxies since only z ˜ 1
Present-day massive galaxies are composed mostly of early-type objects. It is unknown whether this was also the case at higher redshifts. In a hierarchical...
We describe the construction and study of an objectively defined sample of early-type galaxies in low-density environments. The sample galaxies are selected...
Earth's Albedo 1998-2017 as Measured From Earthshine
The reflectance of the Earth is a fundamental climate parameter that we measured from Big Bear Solar Observatory between 1998 and 2017 by observing the...
Earth's albedo variations 1998-2014 as measured from ground-based earthshine observations
The Earth's albedo is a fundamental climate parameter for understanding the radiation budget of the atmosphere. It has been traditionally measured not only from...
Earth's transmission spectrum from lunar eclipse observations
Of the 342 planets so far discovered orbiting other stars, 58 `transit' the stellar disk, meaning that they can be detected through a periodic decrease in the...
