(Oxford University Press, 2018)
      We report the results of intensive X-ray, UV, and optical monitoring of the Seyfert 1 galaxy NGC 4593 with Swift. There is no intrinsic flux-related spectral change in any variable component with small apparent variations ...
    • Leyton, F.; Ruiz Tapia, Sergio; Baez, J.; Meneses, G.; Madariaga, R. (Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2018)
      Fast and reliable characterization of earthquakes can provide vital information to the population, even reducing the effects of strong shaking produced by them. In this study, we explore the minimum time required to estimate ...
    • Pocock, Michael; Chandler, Mark; Bonney, Rick; Thornhill, Ian; Albin, Anna; August, Tom; Bachman, Steven; Brown, Peter; Fernandes Cunha, Davi; Grez Villarroel, Audrey; Jackson, Colin; Peters, Monica; Romer Rabarijaon, Narindra; Roy, Helen; Zaviezo, Tania; Danielsen, Finn (Academic Press Inc., 2018)
      Global biodiversity monitoring is urgently needed across the world to assess the impacts of environmental change on biodiversity. One way to increase monitoring is through citizen science. ‘Citizen science’ is a term that ...
    • Cament, Leonardo; Adams, Martin; Correa, Javier (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2018)
