Exo-Milankovitch Cycles I: Orbits and Rotation States

Russell Deitrick, Rory Barnes, Thomas R. Quinn +3

The obliquity of the Earth, which controls our seasons, varies by only ~2.5 degrees over ~40,000 years, and its eccentricity varies by only ~0.05 over 100,000 years. Nonetheless, t…

Torsion classes in the cohomology of KHT Shimura varieties

Pascal Boyer

A particular case of Bergeron-Venkatesh's conjecture predicts that torsion classes in the cohomology of Shimura varieties are rather rare. According to this and for Kottwitz-Harris…

Studying the transfer of magnetic helicity in solar active regions with the connectivity-based helicity flux density method

K. Dalmasse, E. Pariat, G. Valori +2

In the solar corona, magnetic helicity slowly and continuously accumulates in response to plasma flows tangential to the photosphere and magnetic flux emergence through it. Analyzi…

Increased hepatic PDGF-AA signaling mediates liver insulin resistance in obesity associated type 2 diabetes

Amar Abderrahmani, Loic Yengo, Robert Caiazzo +35

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is closely linked with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and hepatic insulin resistance, but the involved mechanisms are still elusive. Using DNA meth…

Photometric observations of nine Transneptunian objects and Centaurs

T. Hromakina, D. Perna, I. Belskaya +3

We present the results of photometric observations of six Transneptunian objects and three Centaurs, estimations of their rotational periods and corresponding amplitudes. For six o…

HD 156324: a tidally locked magnetic triple spectroscopic binary with a disrupted magnetosphere

M. Shultz, Th. Rivinius, G. A. Wade +3

HD 156324 is an SB3 (B2V/B5V/B5V) system in the Sco OB4 association. The He-strong primary possesses both a strong magnetic field, and H emission believed to originate in its Ce…

An X-ray survey of the central molecular zone: variability of the Fe Ka emission line

R. Terrier, M. Clavel, S. Soldi +4

There is now abundant evidence that the luminosity of the Galactic super-massive black hole (SMBH) has not always been as low as it is nowadays. The observation of varying non-ther…

Transition to turbulent dynamo saturation

Kannabiran Seshasayanan, Basile Gallet, Alexandros Alexakis

While the saturated magnetic energy is independent of viscosity in dynamo experiments, it remains viscosity-dependent in state-of-the-art 3D direct numerical simulations (DNS). Ext…

Stratigraphy of Aeolis Dorsa, Mars: stratigraphic context of the great river deposits

Edwin S. Kite, Alan D. Howard, Antoine S. Lucas +3

Unraveling the stratigraphic record is the key to understanding ancient climate and past climate changes on Mars. River deposits when placed in stratigraphic order could constrain…
