This publication presents InfoSky, a system enabling exploration of large, hierarchically structured knowledge spaces. InfoSky employs a two-dimensional graphical representation with variable magnification, much like a real-world telescope, to visualise individual documents as stars, hierarchical structures as constellations, and the whole knowledge repository as a galaxy. Force-directed placem...

Co-orbital systems contain two or more bodies sharing the same orbit around a planet star. The best-known flavors of co-orbital are tadpoles (in which bodies' angular separations oscillate about L4/L5 Lagrange points $60^\circ$ apart) and horseshoes (with periodically exchanging orbital energy to trace out horseshoe shape in co-rotating frame). Here, we use N-body simulations explore parameter ...

The Farnese Atlas is a Roman statue depicting the Titan Atlas holding up a celestial globe that displays an accurate representation of the ancient Greek constellations (see Figures 1 and 2). This is the oldest surviving depiction of this set of the original Western constellations, and as such can be a valuable resource for studying their early development. The globe places the celestial fi gure...

star identification is one of the most important stages in attitude determination with star trackers. this can be performed using matching algorithms between observed stars and a master star catalogue. the main challenge in this approach is to provide a fast and reliable identification algorithm that is sufficiently robust in different pointing views of the star tracker optical system in the sp...

The linear adiabatic pulsation-periods of Mira variable stars have been derived. Approximately 2701[1]models were calculated for M = 0.7 MΘ to 2 MΘ stars with radii from 180 RΘ to 340 RΘ and luminosities from 2800 LΘ to 10,000 LΘ. The chemical composition of all models is (X,Z) = (0.7,0.02). From the result of this study, linear relations on Luminosity-Period-Mass relationship and luminosity-pe...

The focus on situated practices in current valuation studies becomes an obstacle when situations are too narrowly defined, moments of treated as isolated events and especially the interconnectedness across social fields is neglected. In order to overcome these limitations, we propose concept constellations (Meier et al. 2016). Based literature distinguishes positions their relations, rules, inf...
