Reflexive metrics is a branch of science studies which explores how the demand for accountability and performance measurement in science has shaped the research culture in recent decades. Hypercompetition and publication pressure are part of this neo...
astronomy, axis mundi is the Latin term for the axis of Earth between the celestial poles. In a geocentric coordinate system, this is the axis of rotation
A star catalogue is an astronomical catalogue that lists stars. In astronomy, many stars are referred to simply by catalogue numbers. There are a great
Hello everyone, I was asked some time ago to share the list of names that I have, and I'm finally getting around to it. \^\_\^ I'm currently name-questioning and trying out names privately. If any of...

High energy polarization can be an indication of geometry, orientation, and other physical phenomena for a variety of sources, but has heretofore been a virtually unmeasured phenomenon. PoGOLite is a balloon-borne instrument intended to measure the p...
In astronomy, metallicity is the abundance of elements present in an object that are heavier than hydrogen and helium. Most of the normal currently detectable
The origin of the soft X-ray excess emission observed in many type-1 AGN has been an unresolved problem in X-ray astronomy for over two decades. We develop the model proposed Gierlinski & Done (2004), which models the soft excess with heavily smear...
