A 2 h periodic variation in the low-mass X-ray binary Ser X-1
No full textSpectroscopy of the low-mass X-ray binary Ser X-1 using the Gran Telescopio Canarias have revealed a ?2 h periodic variability that is present in the three strongest emission lines. We tentatively interpret this variability as due to orbital motion, making it the first indication of the orbital period of Ser X-1. Together with the fact that the emission lines are remarkably narrow, but still resolved, we show that a main-sequence K dwarf together with a canonical 1.4 M? neutron star gives a good description of the system. In this scenario, the most likely place for the emission lines to arise is the accretion disc, instead of a localized region in the binary (such as the irradiated surface or the stream-impact point), and their narrowness is due instead to the low inclination (?10°) of Ser X-1

Letter from John P. John to Joseph R. Goodman, 1942
No full textLetter from John P. John to Joseph R. Goodman: "Here are a couple of letters Caleb received concerning the Japanese situation. I have already sent him a condensed record of their general text. Probably more material will be coming in from time to time and we will forward it to you. I guess this is sufficient since Caleb has spoken with you in detail about the problem and where he is to be contacted in the east. Louise Thompson and I are holding things down while Caleb is away and can be contacted here by mail for anything."Personal correspondence, organizational records, government documents, publications, and other papers created or collected by Joseph R. Goodman documenting the forced removal and incarceration of Japanese Americans during World War II, as well as organized resistance to incarceration. Included in the collection are records of the Japanese Young Men's Christian Association and the Japanese American Citizens' League in San Francisco, including papers of the Japanese YMCA's executive secretary Lincoln Kanai; Sakai family papers; Goodman's correspondence to and from Japanese American incarcerees, organizations opposing forced removal and incarceration of Japanese Americans, the War Relocation Authority, and others; publications, photographs, and ephemera from the Topaz Relocation Center, where Goodman taught high school; War Relocation Authority records and publications; and newspaper clippings, pamphlets, and reports about forced removal and incarceration created by various government, religious, and civic organizations, in California and nationwide
Rosalba parva Galileo & Martins, 2013, sp. nov.
No full text<i>Rosalba parva</i> sp. nov. <p>(Fig. 5)</p> <p> <b>Description.</b> Resembles <i>Rosalba malleri</i> (Melzer, 1934), but is distinguished by the elytra with reddish-brown longitudinal bands: (1) on sides of scutellum, short, double the length of the scutellum; (2) at base, parallel to (1), a little longer; (3) beginning at the base, with a very narrow line up to the anterior third where it goes up to the middle and again narrows up to the apical third; (4) in the apical third, contiguous with suture, from the apical third to apical fourth; (5) after the middle, in the same alignment as (2), from close to middle to the apical fourth; (6) on the epipleura, from in the anterior third to apical fourth; (7) small dorsal spot, apical, bifurcate in the anterior margin. On the side of elytra, lateral spot, reddish brown, beginning before the middle on the outer side of band (3) and extending up to the apical fourth and with projection that extends on the dorsum in the apical third up to band (4).</p> <p>Measurements, in mm. Total length, 4.5; prothorax length, 0.7; prothorax width, 0.9; elytron length, 3.3; humeral width, 1.3.</p> <p> <b>Etymology.</b> Latin, parvus = little; alluding to the measurements.</p> <p> <b>Type-material.</b> Holotype female, ECUADOR: <i>Coca</i>, V.1965, Peña col. (MZSP). There are at least two toponyms with the name Coca, one in Azuay and another in Francisco de Orellana.</p> <p> <b>Discussion.</b> By the elytra with longitudinal reddish-brown lines, <i>Rosalba parva</i> can be compared with <i>R. malleri</i> (Melzer, 1934) of southern Brazil and <i>R. tanimbuca</i> described above. It differs from <i>R. malleri</i> by the base of elytra with more than one reddish-brown longitudinal band. It is distinguished from <i>R. tanimbuca</i> by the pronotum brownish with lateral band of whitish-yellow pubescence.</p>Published as part of <i>Galileo, Maria Helena M. & Martins, Ubirajara R., 2013, Nine new species of the genus Rosalba (Coleptera, Cerambycidae, Lamiinae, Apomecynini) from South America, pp. 285-295 in Zootaxa 3709 (3)</i> on pages 289-290, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3709.3.7, <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/223352">http://zenodo.org/record/223352</a>
