Changing-look quasars exhibit dramatic variability in broad emission-line fluxes on short timescales. This behavior is challenging to many models of the quasar line region, due large part transition times between high and low states. In order constrain cause variability, we obtained contemporaneous Hubble Space Telescope UV Hobby Eberly optical spectra three changing-look caught their state. We use these spectra, along with archival taken during both states, investigate potential scenarios...

Stars provide an enormous gain for interstellar communications at their gravitational focus, perhaps as part of network. If the Sun is such a network, there should be probes foci nearby stars. are within solar system connected to we might detect them by intercepting transmissions from relays these foci. Here, demonstrate search across wide bandwidth communication beyond Sun's innermost focus 550 AU using Green Bank Telescope (GBT) and Breakthrough Listen (BL) backend. As first target,...

Abstract This article sets out a summary of standards for departmental accreditation set by the British Society Echocardiography (BSE) Departmental Accreditation Committee. Full are available at www.bsecho.org . The BSE were first national organisation to establish quality framework departments that support practice individual echocardiographers. is an updated version which recognises that, not only should all echocardiographers be individually accredited as competent practice, but also need...

ABSTRACT The effect of dust attenuation on a galaxy’s light depends number physical properties, such as geometry and composition, both which can vary across the faces galaxies. To investigate this variation, we continue analysis star-forming regions in 29 galaxies studied previously. We analyse these using Swift/UV Optical Telescope Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer images, well Sloan Digital Sky Survey/Mapping Nearby Galaxies at Apache Point Observatory emission line maps to constrain...

The next space race has begun. Plans are well underway to establish architectures in cislunar space. This paper provides a summary of research conducted on architectures, including primary missions, and supporting functions. Planned missions can be broadly categorized as science, commercial, defense missions. Supporting functions transportation, communication, navigation, domain awareness, service, energy, shelter, control. Potential solutions identified gaps for each mission function is...

Abstract Background : Quality assurance (QA) of echocardiographic studies is vital to ensure that clinicians can act on findings high quality deliver excellent patient care. To date, there a paucity published guidance how perform this QA. The British Society Echocardiography (BSE) has previously produced an Framework (EQF) assist departments with their QA processes. This article expands the EQF structured yet versatile approach analyse high-quality standards are met. In addition, process...

To investigate this variation, we continue analysis star-forming regions in 29 galaxies studied previously. We analyse these using Swift/UVOT WISE images, well SDSS/MaNGA emission line maps to constrain relationship between infrared excess (IRX) UV spectral index (beta) for each star forming region. This be used law is...

Abstract We present the new Swift/UVOT+MaNGA (SwiM) catalog (SwiM_v4.1). SwiM_v4.1 is designed to study star formation and dust attenuation within nearby galaxies given unique overlap of Swift/UVOT near-ultraviolet (NUV) imaging MaNGA integral field optical spectroscopy. comprises 559 objects, ∼4 times more than original SwiM (SwiM_v3.1), spans redshift range z ≈ 0.0002–0.1482, provides a diverse rich sample. Approximately 5% final sample included in SwiM_v4.1, 42% are cross-listed with...
