We have conducted a survey of overcontact binary systems (EW) with mass ratio <= 0.25 from the Catalina Sky Survey (CSS) that are considered strong merger candidates and are probable progenitors of FK Com-type stars and ...

We have gathered a sample of 112 main-sequence starswith known debris disks.We collected published information and performed adaptive optics observations at Lick Observatory to determine if these debris disks are ...

This work aims to explore resources and alternatives for 3D facial biometry using Binary Patterns. A 3D facial geometry image is converted into two 2D representations, appointed as descriptors: A Depth Map and an Azimuthal ...

This paper presents a mixed-binary linear programming formulation to solve the problem of radial distribution systems expansion planning. The proposed model considers the alternatives of repowering existing substations, ...

In this paper, we perform a numerical integration of 666 fictitious binary Centaurs coming from the trans Neptunian space. Our population is restricted to tight binaries whose components have sizes between 30 and 100 km. ...

We report the discovery of 24 spectroscopic binary companions to giant stars. We fully constrain the orbital solution for 6 of these systems. We cannot unambiguously derive the orbital elements for the remaining stars ...

The unique capabilities of Type Ia Supernovae (SN Ia), with emission bright and uniform enough to serve as yardsticks on cosmological distance scales, has resulted in them becoming some of the most important objects in the ...
