PhotoD with LSST: Stellar Photometric Distances Out to the Edge of the Galaxy by Lovro Palaversa, Željko Ivezić, Neven Caplar, Karlo Mrakovčić, Bob Abel, Oleksandra Razim, Filip Matković, Connor Yablonski, Toni Šarić, Tomislav Jurkić, Sandro Campos, Melissa DeLucchi, Derek Jones, Konstantin Malanchev, Alex I. Malz, Sean McGuire, Mario Jurić

“…As demonstrated with the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), Pan-STARRS, and most recently with Gaia data, broadband near-UV to near-IR stellar photometry can be used to estimate distance, metallicity, and interstellar dust extinction along the line of sight for stars in the Galaxy. Anticipating photometric catalogs with tens of billions of stars from Rubin's Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST), we present a Bayesian model and pipeline that build on previous work and can handle LSST-sized datasets. …”

Révision de l’espèce Homo erectus (Dubois, 1893) by Valéry Zeitoun

“…Those arguments have revealed that the index formulation in logarithmic form usually allows to use them without any problem in the sight of the Laplace-Gauss law. So for a given feature, if the normality is not respected in the reference set then it is not taken into account.An analysis is realized to select the discriminant index, those allowing the grouping or the splitting of different individuals. …”

Wiebe, E. Y. Young, Spider Collaboration

“…Analyses of diffuse Galactic dust emission spanning the full Spider region demonstrate (i) a spectral energy distribution that is broadly consistent with a modified-blackbody (MBB) model with a spectral index of β _d = 1.45 ± 0.05 (1.47 ± 0.06) for E ( B )-mode polarization, slightly lower than that reported by Planck for the full sky; (ii) an angular power spectrum broadly consistent with a power law; and (iii) no significant detection of line-of-sight polarization decorrelation. Tests of several modeling uncertainties find only a modest impact (∼10% in σ _r ) on Spider ’s sensitivity to the cosmological tensor-to-scalar ratio. …”

Increased BOLD Variability in the Parietal Cortex and Enhanced Parieto-Occipital Connectivity during Tactile Perception in Congenitally Blind Individuals by Andrea Leo, Giulio Bernardi, Giacomo Handjaras, Daniela Bonino, Emiliano Ricciardi, Pietro Pietrini

“…As a consequence of blindness, parietal areas would thus become able to integrate a greater amount of multimodal information than in sighted individuals. To verify this hypothesis, we compared fMRI-measured BOLD signal temporal variability, an index of efficiency in functional information integration, in congenitally blind and sighted individuals during tactile spatial discrimination and motion perception tasks. …”
