Grand challenges for archaeology

Keith Kintigh, Jeffrey H. Altschul, Mary C. Beaudry, Robert D. Drennan et al. • Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (2014)

Archaeology is a source of essential data regarding the fundamental nature of human societies. Researchers across the behavioral and social sciences use archeological data in framing foundational arguments. Archaeological evidence frequentl...

Encyclopedia of archaeology

• Choice Reviews Online (2008)

is a subject that fascinates us. From Egyptian tombs to a frozen Alpine wayfarer, from cities buried under volcanic ash to stone arrow heads turned up by the plow, archaeology is in the news and in our backyards. It is paradoxical that a su...

Archaeology

Bjørnar Julius Olsen, Michael Shanks, Timothy Webmoor, Christopher Witmore • University of California Press eBooks (2012)

The “science of old things,” archaeology is marked by its care, obligation, and loyalty to things, from ancient cities in the Mexican heartland and megalithic monuments in Britain to the perfume jars of the ancient Greek city-state and Leic...

A Catalog of Filaments in the Central Molecular Zone

Richard G. Arendt, F. Yusef-Zadeh, I. Heywood • The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series (2025)

We present a catalog of 1.28 GHz radio filaments observed by MeerKAT over the innermost 200 pc of the Galaxy (roughly ±1 $\mathop{.}\limits^{\unicode{x000b0}}$ 5), which includes the central molecular zone. The catalog is generated by repur...

A Generic Formula and Some Special Cases for the Kullback–Leibler Divergence between Central Multivariate Cauchy Distributions

Nizar Bouhlel, David Rousseau • Entropy (2022)

This paper introduces a closed-form expression for the Kullback–Leibler divergence (KLD) between two central multivariate Cauchy distributions (MCDs) which have been recently used in different signal and image processing applications where ...

Making Preliminary GRBs Real-Time Astronomical Reports

Sebastián Castillo-Carrión, Alberto Javier Castro-Tirado • Advances in Astronomy (2010)

We present a standalone software tool which makes reports for analysis and evaluation of GRBs. Recently, analysis and evaluation of GRBs were done without help of semiautomated tools or routines; so the time elapsed from the detection until...

Radiation-Driven Stellar Eruptions

Kris Davidson • Galaxies (2020)

Very massive stars occasionally expel material in colossal eruptions, driven by continuum radiation pressure rather than blast waves. Some of them rival supernovae in total radiative output, and the mass loss is crucial for subsequent evolu...

Core Scouring Dynamics and Gravitational Wave Consequences: Constraints on Supermassive Black Hole Binary Hardening

C. J. Harris, Kayhan Gültekin, Laura Blecha • The Astrophysical Journal (2026)

We present a multimessenger investigation of supermassive black hole binary (SBHB) hardening by jointly comparing models to the observed stellar mass deficits of nearby core galaxies and to nanohertz gravitational-wave background measuremen...

Measurement of the Y(1S) pair production cross section and search for resonances decaying to Y(1S)μ+μ− in proton-proton collisions at s=13TeV

A.M. Sirunyan, A. Tumasyan, W. Adam, F. Ambrogi et al. • Physics Letters B (2020)

The fiducial cross section for Y(1S) pair production in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV in the region where both Y(1S) mesons have an absolute rapidity below 2.0 is measured to be 79±11(stat)±6(syst)±3(B)pb ass...

Testing the Physical Parameter Constraining Power of HCN and HNC with Neural Networks

Erica Behrens, Jeffrey G. Mangum, Mathilde Bouvier, Cosima Eibensteiner et al. • The Astrophysical Journal (2026)

We quantify the utility of HCN and HNC to characterize gas conditions in the nearby starburst galaxy NGC 253. We use measurements from the Atacama Large Millimeter/Submillimeter Array (ALMA) Large Program ALCHEMI: the ALMA Comprehensive Hig...

Ruling Out Compact Jets as the Dominant Source of Radio Emission in Radio-quiet, High-Eddington-ratio Active Galactic Nuclei

Jeremiah D. Paul, Richard M. Plotkin • The Astrophysical Journal (2026)

The origin of core radio emission in radio-quiet active galactic nuclei (AGNs) is still actively debated. General-relativistic magnetohydrodynamics simulations often predict the launching of moderately large-scale jets from super-Eddington ...

Not All Sub-Neptune Exoplanets Have Magma Oceans

Bodie Breza, Matthew C. Nixon, Eliza M.-R. Kempton • The Astrophysical Journal Letters (2025)

The evolution and structure of sub-Neptunes may be strongly influenced by interactions between the outer gaseous envelope of the planet and a surface magma ocean. However, given the wide variety of permissible interior structures of these p...
