This paper discusses the propagation characteristics of cosmic-ray electrons and nuclei in 30 Doradus as well as the Large Magellanic Cloud. Two major correlations are found. For 30 Doradus there is a correlation between the radio and infrared emission. For the LMC there is a link between the cosmic ray electron propagation length with the star formation rate.
This paper discusses the observed anomalies caused by starspot occultations due to transiting exoplanets. They are useful in determining the obliquity of the star with respect to the orbital plane of the transiting planet.
In 6 Gyrs the Sun will stop fusing Hydrogen in its core. It will then go through several phases of post-main sequence evolution. Depicted here are models spanning a range of plausible evolutionary sequences and how such phases might effect the dynamics of the Solar System.
On 13 December 2011 CERN announced its results from ATLAS and CMS. Both experiments have made significant process in the search, but not enough to make any conclusive statement on the existence or non-existence of the Higgs boson. A definitive answer will require much more data and is likely by late 2012.
On Saturday November 26th NASA launched its newest rover toward Mars. Its key goal is to search for evidence that the planet may once have held microscopic life and to look at the possibility of once again holding life. Presented here are the details concerning the mission and the rover itself.
