Transport of dust across the Solar System: Constraints on the spatial origin of individual micrometeorites from cosmic-ray exposure

The origin of micrometeorites (MMs) from asteroids and comets is well-established, but the relative contribution from these two classes remains poorly resolved. Likewise, determining the precise origin of individual MMs is an open challenge. Here, cosmic-r ...

Surface-induced vibrational energy redistribution in methane/surface scattering depends on catalytic activity

Rainer Beck, Christopher Scott Reilly, Patrick Floss

Recent state-to-state experiments of methane scattering from Ni(111) and graphene-covered Ni(111) combined with quantum mechanical simulations suggest an intriguing correlation between the surface-induced vibrational energy redistribution (SIVR) during the ...

Gaia Focused Product Release: Asteroid orbital solution: Properties and assessment

Stephan Morgenthaler, Shuangqing Liao

Context. We report the exploitation of a sample of Solar System observations based on data from the third Gaia Data Release (Gaia DR3) of nearly 157 000 asteroids. It extends the epoch astrometric solution over the time coverage planned for the Gaia DR4, w ...

Effects of item distinctiveness on the retrieval of objects and object-location bindings from visual working memory

Yury Markov

Visual working memory (VWM) is prone to interference from stored items competing for its limited capacity. Distinctiveness or similarity of the items is acknowledged to affect this competition, such that poor item distinctiveness causes a failure to discri ...

Visual Scene Understanding for Transportation: From Detecting Objects To Relationships

George Adaimi

Transportation, which deals with moving people and goods around, has a clear impact on the economic development of our society and our well-being. Traditionally, transportation was studied and analyzed using expensive sensors, such as induction loops, that ...

Space Oddity? A Statistical Formulation of Conjunction Assessment

Anthony Christopher Davison, Soumaya Elkantassi

Satellite conjunctions involving "near misses" of space objects are becoming increasingly likely. One approach to risk analysis for them involves the computation of the collision probability, but this has been regarded as having some counterintuitive prope ...

Self-Supervision By Prediction For Object Discovery In Videos

Pascal Frossard, Beril Besbinar

Despite their irresistible success, deep learning algorithms still heavily rely on annotated data, and unsupervised settings pose many challenges, such as finding the right inductive bias in diverse scenarios. In this paper, we propose an object-centric mo ...

Catch Me If You Can Designing a Disobedient Object to Protest Against GSM Surveillance

Félicien Michel Marie Goguey

In this article, I discuss the process of designing an object to protest against a specific surveillance device: the IMSI catcher, a controversial object used to monitor GSM networks. Being widely used in protests, I develop a tactical approach based on ob ...

Remarkable Color Gamut Enhancement of Dye Lacquers Using Corrugated Surfaces

Olivier Martin, Sebastian Mader

The visual appearance of any colorized object is usually determined by the spectral absorption of either pigments or dyes. One can however also colorize objects with structural colors that typically have an iridescent appearance, as seen on many beetles. T ...

State-to-state methane-surface scattering as a probe of catalytic activity

Rainer Beck, Maarten Eduard van Reijzen, Bo-Jung Chen, Jörn Werdecker

Quantum state-resolved scattering experiments for methane molecules colliding with a catalytically active nickel surface are compared to scattering from a nickel surface passivated by a single layer of graphene. The vibrational state distribution of the sc ...

Does scaling player size skew one’s ability to correctly evaluate object sizes in a virtual environment?

Ronan Boulic, Bruno Herbelin, Mathias Guy Delahaye

This paper presents the results of a study performed in order to evaluate whether a navigation technique, based on scaling the user’s avatar, impacts the user’s ability to correctly assess the size of virtual objects in a virtual environment. This study wa ...

Oclussion-Aware Motion Planning at Roundabouts

Denis Gillet

In this work, we present a motion planning framework for automated vehicles to drive safely through intersections despite occlusions and the uncertain behavior of the surrounding vehicles. A context representation based on probably-free gaps is proposed as ...

Effect of tool-use observation on metric body representation and peripersonal space

Michela Bassolino, Matteo Franza

In everyday life, we constantly act and interact with objects and with others' people through our body. To properly perform actions, the representations of the dimension of body-parts (metric body representation, BR) and of the space surrounding the body ( ...

How stellar rotation shapes the colour-magnitude diagram of the massive intermediate-age star cluster NGC 1846

Carmela Lardo

We present a detailed study of stellar rotation in the massive 1.5 Gyr old cluster NGC 1846 in the Large Magellanic Cloud. Similar to other clusters at this age, NGC 1846 shows an extended main-sequence turn-off (eMSTO), and previous photometric studies ha ...

Barium and related stars, and their white-dwarf companions

Pierre North, Conrad Johnston, Shreeya Sushil Shetye

Barium (Ba) dwarfs and CH subgiants are the less evolved analogues of Ba and CH giants. They are F- to G-type main-sequence stars polluted with heavy elements by their binary companions when the companion was on the asymptotic giant branch (AGB). This comp ...
