Structure of Titan's evaporites

D. Cordier, T. Cornet, J. W. Barnes +5

Numerous geological features that could be evaporitic in origin have been identified on the surface of Titan. Although they seem to be water-ice poor, their main properties -chemic…

Testing the cores of first ascent red-giant stars using the period spacing of g modes

Nadège Lagarde, Diego Bossini, Andrea Miglio +2

In the context of the determination of stellar properties using asteroseismology, we study the influence of rotation and convective-core overshooting on the properties of red-giant…

Matching dust emission structures and magnetic field in high-latitude cloud L1642: comparing Herschel and Planck maps

J. Malinen, L. Montier, J. Montillaud +7

The nearby cloud L1642 is one of only two known very high latitude (|b| > 30 deg) clouds actively forming stars. It is a rare example of star formation in isolated conditions, and…

OSSOS II: A Sharp Transition in the Absolute Magnitude Distribution of the Kuiper Belt's Scattering Population

C. Shankman, J. J. Kavelaars, B. J. Gladman +8

We measure the absolute magnitude, , distribution, of the scattering Trans-Neptunian Objects (TNOs) as a proxy for their size-frequency distribution. We…

Near-infrared extinction with discretised stellar colours

M. Juvela, J. Montillaud

Several methods exist to convert near-infrared (NIR) stellar observations into extinction maps. We present a new method based on NIR multiband observations. The method uses a discr…
