Description
Chimonas and Hines1,2 suggested that atmospheric gravity waves could be generated by the supersonic passage of the Moon's shadow through the Earth's atmosphere during a solar eclipse. Beer and May3 pointed out that the eclipse of June 30, 1973, would provide an opportunity of investigating the idea, and perhaps establish a link between travelling ionospheric disturbances (TIDs), as reported by other observers4,5, and the eclipse phenomena. In addition, Beer and May predicted the positions of the hypothetical wavefronts for various times during and after the eclipse.

    Euclid preparation. XXXVI. Modelling the weak lensing angular power spectrum

    This work considers which higher order modeling effects on the cosmic shear angular power spectra must be taken into account for Euclid. We identified the relevant terms and quantified their individual and cumulative impact on the cosmological parameter inferences from Euclid. We computed the values of these higher order effects using analytic

    The discovery space of ELT-ANDES. Stars and stellar populations

    The ArmazoNes high Dispersion Echelle Spectrograph (ANDES) is the optical and near-infrared high-resolution echelle spectrograph envisioned for the Extremely Large Telescope (ELT). We present a selection of science cases, supported by new calculations and simulations, where ANDES could enable major advances in the fields of stars and stellar

    Euclid preparation. XXXVII. Galaxy colour selections with Euclid and ground photometry for cluster weak-lensing analyses

    Aims: We derived galaxy colour selections from Euclid and ground-based photometry, aiming to accurately define background galaxy samples in cluster weak-lensing analyses. These selections have been implemented in the Euclid data analysis pipelines for galaxy clusters. Methods: Given any set of photometric bands, we developed a method for the
