Physics and the Pythagorean Theorem
James Overduin, Richard Conn Henry
Pythagoras' theorem lies at the heart of physics as well as mathematics, yet its historical origins are obscure. We highlight a purely pictorial, gestalt-like proof that may have o…
The Diffuse Ultraviolet Background Close to the Galactic Plane
Jayant Murthy, R. C. Henry, James Overduin
We have used Voyager and Galex observations to map the diffuse Galactic light near the Galactic equator. We find that most of the observations are relatively faint with surface bri…
Components of the Diffuse Ultraviolet Radiation at High Latitudes
M. S. Akshaya, Jayant Murthy, S. Ravichandran +2
We have used data from the Galaxy Evolution Explorer to study the different components of the diffuse ultraviolet background in the region between the Galactic latitudes 70-80 degr…
Opportunities for Astrophysical Science from the Inner and Outer Solar System
Michael Zemcov, Iair Arcavi, Richard G. Arendt +22
Astrophysical measurements away from the 1 AU orbit of Earth can enable several astrophysical science cases that are challenging or impossible to perform from Earthbound platforms,…
Co-spatial UV-optical HST/STIS Spectra of Six Planetary Nebulae: Nebular and Stellar Properties
Timothy R. Miller, Richard B. C. Henry, Bruce Balick +4
This paper represents the conclusion of a project that had two main goals: (1) to investigate to what extent planetary nebulae (PNe) are chemically homogeneous; and (2) to provide…
Discovery of an Ionizing Radiation Field in the Universe
Richard Conn Henry, Jayant Murthy, James Overduin
We draw attention to observational evidence indicating that a substantial fraction of the well-known cosmic celestial diffuse ultraviolet background radiation field is actually due…
